Mr. Reg. Furlong soo, ozvr. To Reg Furlong and Ray Hun- ter we are indebted for the new and novel dieas that have put over in. such a big way our Birthday Sale. To draw it mild, this has been the biggest event in 32 years. The crowds who attended certainly have saved a lot of money and been delight- ed. The Birthday Cake weigh- ed 4'7 lbs., 1 oz. Mrs. C. Mc- Quade of Allandale and Mrs. A. A. Garvin of Midhurst both es- timated the cake at 47% lbs., and so won the prize. For our customers who did not get in last Saturday, because of the wet day, we are providing a piece of our mammoth Birth- day Cake next Saturday. Come and taste this cake. Judges pro- nounce it delicious. Greater Bargains than ever for the re- maining days. This Birthday Sale will be the -tee of in- terest and money sa..;':<?. until the very last moment of its `:- istence on Saturday, April at 10 p.m. Let nothing keep you away. WE SELL FOR LESS. The question now is- What lucky man will win the Three-storey Birthday Cake, to be given to the oldest man at- tending this Birthday Sale? Again we say: Come-Buy- Save. Our Windows. Price Tickets and Store Decorations all tell you of this 32nd Birth- day money-saving event.

He expressed the opinion that such undertakings were not only benecial to the children, who were getting a valuable training, but created a spirit of co-operation and unselfish service among the church workers.

TRINITY S DOLL DANCE ; PLEASES LARGE AUDIENCE REV. FATHER BRENNAN SUSTAINS BROKEN ARM The ``Doll Dance presented by the Girls Auxiliary of Trinity Church brought out a splendid attendance to Parish Hall last Friday evening. It proved a very delightful fairy fantasy, the pretty costumes being particular- ly appropriate and the acting of a high order. The Doll Dance was well done by Marion Vair, Phyllis Shan- non, Betty Smith and Daetta Hanmer. The leading roles in the play were splendidly taken by Winnifred Know- les and Florence McIntosh. There were about 25 in the cast, all girls. $40 was netted. Miss Marjorie Creswicke directed the play. When he accidentally fell down the stairs of the deanery Friday evening last Rev. Father Brennan sustained a double fracture of his right arm as well as a severe shaking up. Despite his handicap. however, Father Bren- nan is already attending to some of his parochial duties and at last even- ing's presentation in the Parish Hall waved an empty sleeve and jocularly remarked I extend the right hand of fellowship, guratively speaking. Judgment has been rendered by Judge Wismer in the Division Court case heard on April 2 of Harry Bar- ron vs. Dr. Crease. a claim for balance owing on plumbing work. Counter claim was made for dental services. Judge Wismer disallowed both the claim and counter claim, each liti- gant to pay his own costs. called upon Mr. Seitz of Allandale who gave a talk on Life as a Race in which there were many helpful suggestions for more than the boys, which would enable the boys to run a successful race and avoid many of the handicaps. Three boys were then initiated to the degree of Knighthood with its outstanding obligations. Gam- es were entered into by fathers and sons together and a splendid evening was concluded with a sing-song un- ,der the able and enthusiastic leader- ship of Mr. Seitz.
