From statements and enquiries contained in the let- ters it is evident that Barrie receiv- ed much valuable publicity from the broadcast, and more than one of the writers announced their intention of visiting Barrie. Fort Pierce, Florida, was the most distant place heard from in the United States and Summerside, Prince Edward Island, has the record for Canada. H. E. Hill of "Fort Pierce and John J.

Varied, entertaining and in- structive, beautifully .costumed- and well-staged, the production was an excellent one. So well did the seventy-five participants do their parts, that the unflagging interest of the audience was held throughout and applause was given in generous measure. As can be seen by the list of characters, the pageant repre- sents some of the Fathers of Confed- eration, the several provinces and various characters. that have played a large part in the upbuilding of Canada. The speaking lines are well written and convey a deal of [information about Canada and its people that stimulates a feeling of pride in our country.
