BOWMANVILLE Melbourne Ei Turner, Representative Phones: Office, 587; Res, 300 KING WINTER IS MAKING HIS EXIT SPRING ADVANCES Weather Man is Active-- Snow and Ice Fast Disappear (By Staff Reporter) ) . Bowmanville, March 13.--This kind of weather reminds one of James Whitcomb Riley's poem on the subject: Rain and slush, and rain again, Just dribble, drip and blow And hail and frost and winter wind, Then some more rain and snow, But today it seems as if the weather-man is going to give us just an inkling if the sort of weath- er he is keeping from us, and which he denies us as a regular Yk Shing conus, Jo prseent| rong real April, or perhaps May, The i) ve Hy gry or if it now, will finish the pes wight Bg getting rid of the snow and Ay the ice, It rather looks as if skating is done, and ha at bleak and forbidden aspect which char acterizes the empty house, the spirit of Spring having taken pos- session and wafted the cold and dreariness to the north wind, not to reappear until late Fall, But there is a sort of lump en- ters one's throat at the sight of winter going. Skating, hockey, ay snowballing, skiing and other sports have died their deaths. The thought of Christmas and wood fires, of plum pudding and open grates all flee from one's mind as the heralds of Spring ride the south and west winds and wake the badgers and bears and bring back the feathered creatures from the realms of the South. We are too happy at the ap- proach of another season, which opens more possibilities of outdoor sports to say goodbye to Old Man TITIT ITI IIIT TTI RIT IN DEWLAND'S Simcoe Street North THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 1928 NOVELIST ADD LAST MEETING OF YEAR: MEN'S CANADIAN CLUB It' 1s as with the other After the novelty has worn only too glad that t is thrust us wi ry Foe glorious pas The marbles have made their appearances in little boys' hands, and the latter may be seen out on the street making bargains and playing "migs" with the other an.

A. Cawker said "We are again indebted to the Association of Canadian Clubs for our speaker of this evening, a most interesting persanality, He was born in Malmoe weden, educated in France, Ger- many and Italy, and has travelled ex- tensively. Throughout his travels he has visited the greater part of Europe, the Orient, Western Asia, South Africa, Central and North America, and has taught in both Public and High Schools in Western Canada. He has also written many interesting books particularly The Search for America, which 1 believe is the story oi his own life, The subject of his address will be the Spiritual Awakening of an Indivi- dual. Facts of Own Life As was mentioned by the president Mr. Grove's lecture dealt with facts concerning his own life and the re- lation of these facts to conditions with which was interested and which was the subject of his discourse, The story of his life which was taken as a digression from the main line of thought in the subject was interest- ing, eventful and oue-oi-the-ordinary, As with himself, the speaker pres- ented the appearance of a great scholar as he most certainly is and a dreamer, whose dreams material ize into the making of a great author, lecturer and authentic essayist. He was indeed a super- literarian, if such an expression may be used to qualify the inner being of such a man, Speaking of himself in relation to his work, he said: "I have no system to 'expound, no advice to give, no policy to outline. I am a literary man, As such, what can I talk to you about? Frankly I am going to talk about myself until in the end you will be doubtful whe- her I have been speaking about my- seli or the Canadian West or the yreat problem of a national litera- ure." As a child the author lived in the wake of an erratic mother, whose custom it was to take many journeys throughout the European countries, in company of her only son, although there were eight daughters, She would settle down for a period of perhaps three months and send the child to school. However the boy learned, and spoke the languages of the diferent nations as he passed through their schools, truly only on little periods of schooling, Chosing Vocation "Into this life there came, ahout the age of 14 years the momentous question "what are you going to do with yourself when you grow up? "The answer to this I was obliged to postpone for sometime. At the age of 18 my mother died and fol- lowing this loss, I managed to pass examinations which admitted me to any of the European universities, I set out for Paris to study, I knew not what, but fate decreed otherwise, for I never reached Paris. I met with relatives in company with whom I travelled over all Europe. My mothers blood scemed to predestine me into living this kind of life. "Between trips of this sort, I spent most of my time in Paris or London, where in the day I hob-nobbed in sumptuous or poverty-stricken studios of painters, sculptors, architects; or in offices or hall hedrooms with poets, novelties and essayists. In the evenings I attended functions of so- called society, and at nights visited cabarets, taverns, criminal dives and other queer places. The astonishing thing is that in these four spheres I managed to become acquainted with at least half a dozen men who today are known around the world." His Last Book At this point the speaker gave a few details in connection with his last book "A search for America" describing it as a fiction, and refuting the statement of the press that it was pure autobiography, He described his first connection with life in the Western provinces, his living as a farm hand with an Irish family. While working under many handicaps, teaching the young- sters of the neighborhood besides general farm chores, he wrote the first draft of his book. "It must be abundantly clear that my education was an irregular onc" said the lecturer. "Yet its very irre- gularity gave me opportunities which are not often given to a man. For instance in the study of ancient lan- guages, I had the enommous back- ground which only a familiar know- ledge of the remnants of past ciyili- zation can give. This knowledge I had acquired during my mother's travels. The occupations of many may be divided into two classes according to Mr. Grove. These classes are con- cerned with those who wish to act and co-operate in the material world, and those who wish to think and to judge and perhaps create in the world of the intangible. The speaker stated that he would much rather be- long to the latter class. Explaining his choice, he said: . "In me there lives an urge to de- fine an emotional reaction to life and the umiverse which felt even then as = God given trust and a God imposed task. This was at the touted for nothing, 1 stood for man- ny literature or any other craft rk of art is precisely this, that in it there lies imbedded the generally b. ie reaction of the soul, to the fui mental conditions of man's life on enh "Thus the overpower arose Nitkin mes "a genuinely human to the universe which regan to be alive within me as a di _Iwhich it is death to hide" at t St an expres. sion or a form which would live for- ever, However short that aim has fallen in the past, and however short it is bound to fall short in the future, I would rather work today with that aim in view and fail of attaining it than lower the aim and reach a lesser level" Emotional Reactions In conclysion the speaker said: "I believe it is true if 1 say that the very wealth of the inner life of every single individual, today as a millennia ago, depends on the diversity and the epth of his emotional reactions, wh we really know of this world - which we live is limited by the range of things to which we react emotionally, Our "emotional re- actions are the one fundamental reality, the one, only thing which we know and which a* the bottom con- cerns us, If then, an artist 'creates' as we call it--"discerns" a new emo~ tional reaction; or if extends our al- ready known reactions to a new set of objects to which we did before react; or if, finally, he deepens an emotional reaction so that it assumes a significance and profundity un- realized before, then 1 contend, he has effectively enlarged the wlole scope of human life. He has awak- ened to consciousness a fraction of the human soul, he has raised into light a stratum of the potentially human which was so far covered by the darkness of night." Dr. D. W. Best moved an appre- ciative vote of thanks to the speaker at the conclusion of the evening, and was ably seconded by Dr, G, E, Reaman, GROOMING CAST FOR BIG PLAY "Twelfth Night" to Be Pre. sented By H, S, Literary Society (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, March 13. -- At last the town is to be able to witness the play of the year, the annual High School undertaking, this year in the effort of the Literary Society to pre- sent Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night," The students taking both minor and major roles have labored continuous- ly for the success of the enterprise, and they have now a play to give Bowmanville citizens that is really worth while and will in sll probanl- ity outclass all previous entertain- ments put on by them, The plot 1s worked out in five acts +d sevente2a sc? ics, 47+ those tak- ng part are sopdets oi tie BIS, itr play was directed by Miss Jneks and Miss Sm th of the stati Bes des tw play itie's the Schocl Orchestra is to be in attendance and will fur- +.sh music .uiing the changes in scenery, Those taking part 'n the play ate the followivz: Jim Devitr as +Jrsino, Luke of Hlyra: I'g:n Munday, as Sebastian, brother of Viola; Anton- io, a sea captain friend of Sebastian, taken by Harry Cowling; Leon Moore, as a sea captain, friend of Viola; Valentine and Curio, attend- ants of the Duke Tom Sykes and Gordon Osborne; Kenneth Morris, as Sir Toby Belch, uncle of .Olivia; Morley Vanstone, as Sir Andrew Ag- uecheek, his friend; Gregory Colmer as Fabian, servant to Olivia; Feste, a clown, taken by Allan Knight; Oli- via, a rich countess, tak by Esther Wallace; Viola, by Marian Rickard; Maria, by Lena Dilling; Officers, John Alexander and John Minore; a priest, Fred Billett; attendants to Olivia, Vera Wood and Marie Val- leau; Malyolio, Morgan Lunney, MUCH INTEREST IN COMING PLAY "Such Shannanigans" to Be Presented Under Auspices Catholic Church (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, March 13. AR un- usual amount of public interest was evident when differépt persons were attracted to such a degree to wards a sign placed on the side door 'of the police station, and town hall. Upon questioning, it was assumed that the hall was under quarantine, and it had gemerally been circulated that some inmate of the "Grey Castle" had contract- ed some contagious disease. The real truth of the matter, however, was revealed when the card was read at closer rabge, It proved to be a display card making the announcement of the coming to Bowmanville of a play under the auspices of St. J 's Ro- man Catholic Church, entitled "Such Shannanigans." The play is composed of three acts and was from "Turn- ing the Trick" by J..0. McMullen. It will be presented in the Byers Bis on Thursday evening, March 22, and will no doubt with such a catchy title attract comsiderable patronage and prove highly dater- esting. back of it all I as an individual} That which makes a work of |' A 'Announce Their SPRING SHOWING SMART MILLINERY Thursday - Friday - Saturday cali i 16, 17 .

It was understood that the sale of tickets far from reached a A---- EE material sales point and in this estimate the club members were visibly at a disadvantage, However, it is hoped that in the near future, the Toronto Girls of the show will reconsider their de- cision to play at Bowmanville Opera House, MANY NEW SIGNS BRIGHTEN STREETS (By Staff Reporter)) Bowmanville, March 13.--Bow- manville is brightening up, This fact was made certain and may be proven by anyone casting a glance down King street at an hour when the lights are turned on in the mn ------------ g-- -- -- -- [ C.
