Good-night Reading Save The King. - Helen Vickery As you will notice there were eighteen numberg on this program and every one of them was good. The.choruses and school "yells" were well given, the instrumentals showed "good tuition and practice; the readings were given by the right people and were most timely; the darkey children with their "Concert Rehearsal" caused much merriment. The doll drill was very effective, and must have required a good many "mothers' meetings" in order that so good a drill could be given. The Old English Folk Dance and the physical culture of both boys and girls showed good training, par- ticularly when it is remembered that physical training is a comparatively new thing in Port Perry Public School. The boys songs were well sung and caught the fancy of the audience, as was evidenced by the applause. . was well rendered in both voice and action. The 'vocal duet Perhaps the most striking. single selection was the Aboriginal Dance, as the dancer's name does not appear on the program, we might give it here: Midgley. Oh that we could all be as supple' as Ross The presentations occupied an interesting place and Retta Miller;*Alma Blight and Edith Lucas are now the proud pos- sessors of good books presented by the I. O. D. E.. while suit- able prizes were given by Messrs. E. B. Walker, and Geo. R. Davey to Grace McMillan and Frank Andrus for high stands ing in the Entrance Examinations, All that part of the program was good, a credit to both performers and trainers. And like the old feast, the best was left to the last. "Cin- derella in Flowerland" was a charming operetta-- full of color and beauty, and rendered in a most pleasing and sympathetic _manner. Tom Harris was "Prince: Siushine" and Mary Walker was Daisy "Cinderalla", who by the aid of Godmother eventually became the Princess of Sunshine Castle. Nature Each of the aspirants for the favor of the Prince represented a flower, .and all the flowers in this gorgeous boquet were sure that their charms were irresistable, but the unassuming daisy outshone them all when Godmother Nature had done her work. Strikingly beautiful were the little sunbeams in the suits of gold, but the little raindyops quickly schatered them when these little brown fairies arvived on the scene. jut of course it all came out right in the end--the fairies danced, and the busy little bee buzzed happily, the sunbeams tripped in once mare, the Princess of SunsHine Castle was crowned, and "all went merry as a marriage bell." Best of all, the audience was delighted. Everywhere could be heard words of praise, both for the children and for those who trained the children, Each of the 'members of the schoo! staff did their part in the work of training the children, Mr. McLean had charge of the management largely, and the four lady teachers-- Mids Stovin, Miss E. Gamble, Miss E. Harris and Miss M. Walker; all had a big part to play in the tuition and costuming, this = latter work being no small factor in the success of the enter- _tainment. Miss Estelle Bull was pianiste. This form of education is one of the best that can be given.

Rev, .E. O. Gallagher, B.A. | te Oe PORT PERRY LIBRARY For many years the Board of the Port Perry Association Library has realized that the Library Has not been properly housed or equipped, yet through the stress of war time and for other reasons no attempt has been made to put the institution on a proper footing. Now, however, the feeling is abroad that something should be done to erect a war. mem- orial as a memento to those who fought, bled and died to preserve the liberties of free British institutions in this country, and as it becomes possible to combine these institutions of a suitable Library amd the War Memorial, it would seem the proper occasion in which to secure the two objects. The proper gunthorities to own and the library would be the Municipality of Port Perry, and as such a publicly owned . Memorial Library would necessarily be a free library open to any one who wishes to mike use of it; and, as the present library is open only to subscribers, it was felt that the first step would be to ask the Town Council to take over the property. In order that the present Library Board should not stand in the way, a special meeting of the board .was called on Thursday of last week, and the following resolution was passed: "We, the Directors of the Port Perry Association Library, hereby re- Library into a Free Public Library, s0 ro. as negotiations can be made; that will resign our offices and hand pertaining to the Association Lib- rary to.the Free Library Board when duly appointed; and that we will carry on the work of the Association "until the new Free Library kes over the work; and that Grouping to be with Uxbridge, Can- '| ed near Prospect, in the early hours Port Perry Branch, y FOR SALE Billiard Table, complete outfit, for $30.00.

Perhaps the facts regarding the accident will never be known, for with one of the victims dead, and the other in a semi-conscious condition, it is difficult to learn the truth. However, Nicholas Lonergan, of 510a College St. Toronto, (now dead) was the owner of the Me- Laughlin-Buick Car, which is now in the Standard Garage, a car that is one of the most complete wrecks we have ever seen. It seems that a couple of Whitby men--Judge McGillivray and Rev. Mr. Benson, we understand--came across the wrecked car just north of Prospect corner, about 1 a.m. Thurs- day. Robert Vernon lives near and he was roused and word was tele- phoned to Drs. Mellow and Naylor at Port Perry, who were quickly on the scene, The injured men were found lying beside the car, and Lonergan had been bleeding profusely. They were brought to Port Perry, and after an examination it was decided that the best thing that could be done was to take the men to the Oshawa Hospital. Lonergan died just after hé was admitted to the hospital. Archie McIntyre, a garage man of Cannington, was seriously injured about the head and face, and had nct at the time of writing properly re- gained consciousness. . Phere is no mystery about the re- moval of the wrecked auto. Judge McGillivray saw that it was obstruct- ing the highway, and engaged Mr. Mac. Beare, of the Standard Garage, to remove the car to his garage and take care of it. If it is possible to secure evidence it is likely that an inquest will be held under Corner D. S. Hoig, of Oshawa. While it is not possible to be sure of the facts, it is thought that the car had just passed the jog in the road at Prospect at a high rate of speed;_that the brakes had been ap- plied too quickly, with the result that the car had been turned over two or three times. The windshield was de- molished; the steering wheel had nothing but the upright left; the top was torn to shreds in places; the wheels were broken and one was wrenched off; the hood was badly dented. Apparently the engine was uninjured; the radiator was destroy- ed, as were the two front fenders, the two head lamps, cowl lights, one rear fender and running board, On instructions from the police from Oshawa, the car is being held until permission for its removal or repair is given. emma) ( (freee SIR ISAAC BROCK Essay by Retta Miller, Senior IV, Port Perry Public School. This essay was published by the request of the I. O. D. E. Sir Isaac Brock was born in Guern- sey, one of the Channel Islands, on October 6, 1769. At the age of fifteen he entered the army, and by 1797 had reached the rank of senior lieuten- ant-colonel of the 49th Regiment. In 1812 he was appointed president and administrator of Upper Canada, dur- ing the absence of the lieutenant- governor. When war broke out be- tween Great Britain and the United States, he, at once, took the field, to repel the invasion of Canada by the Americans. With the aid of Te- with twenty-five hundred men, to surrender at Detroit. cumseh, he compelled General Hull, | ] Fad Book Ure bo would post | Canada. On the miles above and cataract, the British anxiously. They knew great effort might be made. morning of October 18, 181 was at Fort George at the the river, Before dawn he heard heavy cannonade, the Americans had crossed at Queen- ston, some eight miles up the river. Brock mounted and rode furiously to the point of danger. He climbed the slope and was standing by the gun directing its fire, when he heard a sudden alien cheer. An American [Torce had got to the rear of the gun by a round-about path, and now dash- ed upon Brock's men, who hurriedly escaped down the hill. Brock's uni- form showed him to be a man of im- portgnee, and an American soldier ate aim and killed him instantly. Thus did Brock die the "Hero of Upper Canada." Brock's name sounds to-day in Canada as the watchword of the patriot, and no bugle blast could call the loyal to arms more quickly than a demand that they should emulate the heroic Brock. If ever the men of Ontario need a rallyingground find one on Queenston Heighs neath the shadow of the 1 they have reared to General Broek. meecensrean() (Qin COUNCIL MEETING A number of important matters came up for discussion at the meeting of the Council on Manda evening, at which all members were present. A communication from the War Memorial Committee re the Library was laid over until next meeting. A grant of $167.23 was made to the Port Pery Rink, being an amount equal to that paid by the Rink Com- pany for water and light This grant was made with the understanding that free skating is to be given to children under 12 years of age, for two hours every Saturday during the skating season. Applications for revision of the assessment of Mr. Wm. McKay and Mrs. Walter Oke were laid over. $150 was granted to the Port Perry Fair. The main business of the evening was the consideration of the new plan of road improvement, and at the re- quest of the Council, Supt. D. J. Kean was heard in the matter. ' Mr, Stonehouse introduced a By- law to provide for the construction or improvement of streets of the Vil- lage of Port Perry, the chief clause of which read as follows: "That the said construction shall be carried out according to specifi cations, of a Bituminous Bound Ma- Bobcaygeon in 1928 at the same unit costs and by the same contractor, viz: Frank King, of Lindsay; as may be approved by the department of Public Highways and under the inspection of the County Road Superin 3 "Mr. D. J. Kean, and that he be em- : ployed at once to ascertain the esti- mated cost of the aforementioned road construction." The roads designated for im- provement under this system are: From Widden's corner along Perry St. to the railway from the railway Sg . only thirty yards away took deliber- against any future invader they will cadam Road, such as was built in
