Tecumseh Fox, private de- tective, becomes interested in the sui- cide of Jan Tusar, brilliant young violinist, but fails to discover any- thing but his missing and very valu- able Stradivarius. Mrs, Pomfret, one of Tusar's benefactors, hires: Fox to investigate the murder of her son. How a violin, a broken vase, some glue and a note lead Fox to the discovery of the clever murderer is a real de- tective "thriller." In most detective stories, one shivers with horror until the murders | are solved, but in "The Broken Vase" 1 found an unusual combination, mys- tery and humour. The humour re- lieved the nervous tension of the mys- tery, and made the reading of the book refreshing and enjoyable, "The Broken Vase" will go on any shelf of mémory as a book to be read and re- read. Boy Scouts At the last meeting the Scouts were favoured with a visit from Signm. Ted Cooney, R.C.C.S. who talked to the boys about signalling, A Scout investiture was held and Scout A.

Many parents caunet af- ford to send their children to school, In a survey of one city, it was found some of the children were too under- nourished to be able to study. Miss Pearson places great hope in the mi- racle of the Viceroy's Council in which men of the different religions have come together to study problems. Two types of Indian costume were shown and one of the collection of the beautiful sari was modelled. One of the greatest problems of the mission- aries is to have sufficient workers to cope with the growth of the church, Everyone enjoyed Miss Pearson who spoke in a humorous, direct manner. Mrs. C. R. Carscallen, Literature Secretary, reported that 25 new books had been bought with the money col- lected at sectional meetings last year and added to the Presbyterial Library. The travelling library is now starting out in three sections with Specified itinerary A prize is to be given for the best read auxiliary which is found by dividing the number of missionary books read by the number of members in auxiliary to get an average. The Literature Department of the Domin- ion Board will also give a prize of the new book shelf for the coming year. In speaking of the new study book, "The Church in the City Streets", Mrs, Carscallen said the underprivi- leged are_the testing ground of any nation. It was Suggested that each auxiliary haye a loose leaf notebook in which treatment of each chapter may be kept. . Mrs. W. R. Evans, Claremont, con- tributed a solo, "Ninety and Nine". Mrs. Ivison Munday, Bowmanville, Secretary of Mission Bands, explained the new study and demonstrated the Worship Centre. With the help of Mrs. W. C. Smith, Port Perry, 'the worship service, "Sharing through Music," as given in the worship leaf- let, was conducted. . The report of the Courtesy Com- mittee was given by Mrs, Jas.

Aunt Tillie Goes to Town It is a long time since the people of the Port Perry community had such a hearty laugh (or series of them) as they did at the Play put on by the Seagrave Young People on Wednes- day evening of this week. And it is a long time since the Town Hall had such a crowd--it was hin "filled to capacity". ¥ Port Perry Young People are to be congratulatad upon the success of their evening's ehtertainiieiil. They are good pickers. The whole cast of sharaeiots was well chosen: Mervin Tucker (Morley Bruce) had a busy time and kept his friend (?) Ronald Howland (Everett Nichols) right on the job explaining everything. The barrel scene, ren- dered necessary when Aunt Tillie (Alma Frise) took Mervin's grip, when she went to town, was the high light. But the fact is the whole play was full of highlights. There were no dull moments, And you did not know how it was all going to come out until the very end of the play. : Anybody who hasn't seen "Aunt Tillie" would do well to do so, if they have the opportunity. Miss Margaret Day fulfilled her duties as chairman in her usual effi- cient manner, Rev.
