Why have great men, from time im- memorial, revelled in devouring stories of the hair-raising type? It's a hard question to answer, but the average man seems to find increasing satis- faction in each new crop of goose- flesh he' cultivated throtigh the medium of the mystery story or play. Perhaps it is because we never out- grow childhood -- when we told one another ghost stories in the attic or imhgined the cellar to be the abode of gnomes or goblins. When we get older we persist in our strange, wierd pastime, and although we know it is only a book or a play, _ we are thrilled just as in childhood. Imagination is indeed a persistent thing and few of us escape it. Poe, Maupassant, Steyenson, Doyle, NTA 317 --all these noted authors have given 3) * us masterpieces which have thrilled tv the world and will continue to do so oe for many generations to come, 7 Among our coiitempofary writers of this type of story, Mary Roberts Ripe- hart stands at the head. For years she has supplied us with yains that terrify and amuse, Among her hap-! 'plest efforts® stands "The Circular Staircase" on which that celebrated play "The Bat" is founded. This play was written by Miss Rinehart in col- laboration- with the brilliant Avery Hopwood 'and proved to be the most "successful mystery the American stage has ever known, "The Bat" wil be presented by the 'Literary Society of Port Perry High #8 School in the auditorium of the school on the evenings of March 7 and 8.

Latest report Lells of a slight improvement in his condition, vow HOW A DICTATOR ACQUIRES HIS - POWER Joseph Denny One of our friends the other day asked how dictators acquire power. Dictators seem to make an appearance at a time of some national emergency and take advantage of it. Sometimes they fail as Wat Tyler did, but in the present European situation it will be interesting to watch the outcome though their personal safety is Keon tinual danger. - It would appear that much depends upon the -natural conditions and the spirit of the people, Travellers tell us that in some parts of China the people are so poverty stricken that even a Jew would starve. Yet one never" hears of the inhabitants re- volting. In some parts of Indta"the natives never know what it is to re- tire at night with -the cravings of hunger fully satisfiéd. Then agitations of a Gandhi keep them in a state of ferment, It is interesting to study how the various dictators have acquired their authority. They were not always suc- cessful. In 1216 when the Barons-re- volted King John was put in his place, In 1381 when the English peasantry were being rodden down they re- volted. Wat Tyler was their leader in the reign of King Richard 2nd, but Wat was struck down and .the King, hardly-in his teens, offered to be their champion, - The rioters trusted his| gracious promise and followed him. The kingly promise amopnted to nothing but the revolt was nipped in the bud and the condition of the peasantry was as bad if not worse than before, 4 . In the 18th Century when the In. dustrial Revolution 'occurred bath in England and France, it had a dual cffect. Both countries passed through a similar experience. - Through the TF PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22nd, 1940 pukk, OSHAWA fipe Air Conditioned Thursday, Friday, Saturday, FEBRUARY 22-23-24 , A Romance of Love--Laughter and High Adventure "Gulliver's Travels" In: Glorious Technicolor = | Special morning show Saturday at 10 o'clock.
