France had tried without success in the early days of the war to capture the position. Nearly 60,000 men had been lost by them in the attempts made in May and September, 1916. Dr. Forter told how the taking of Vimy had marked the turning point of the war. Some months later, the Armistice was forced. The 1936 pilgrimage back to Vimy was one of the big points made by Tom Parsons, who responded to the toast. Vimy was one of the fiercest battles fought on the Western front, he said, and since the Canadian forces had played such a large part in its winning. the choice of Vimy as the centre for the return en masse of Canadian exâ€" service men to European battlefields was an excellent one. _ The return to‘ Vimy would be a fine tribute to t,hose who were left there after the battle, he sarid, but he impressed on those preâ€" sent the necessity of taking care of those who had returned maimed.

One lady told The ‘Advance lTast ‘week that she ‘hated to come up the street on account of groups of men standing on the waiks, using cbjectionable language, making critical remarks and otherwise interfering with the pedestrian. Chief Paul and his staff consider that the sidewalks ars for the use of all and that loiterers should not be allowed to block the walks or annoy people passing by. Accordinly warning was given last week that obstructing trafic in this way be stopped. There was one case at this week‘s police court, and there will be eight more at the court next week. Eight men found blocking free traffc on the walks angq annoying passersby havo been summoned to appear to answe to charges cf obstructing. They wiil come up ‘in ccurt on Tuesday next.

Chief Parsons has had considerab‘!s police ~experience.~ Among other apâ€" pointments held by him was that of chief of police for the town of Cochâ€" rane, a position he held for six years. At ‘the time of the twentyâ€"fifth anniâ€" versary celebration of the discovery of the Porcupine mines held in Timmins last summer, Chief Parsons acted as one of the special police engaged here. Early last year he was considered for the position of chief of police at New Liskeard and was a close favourite there. The position, however, was eventually given to Ezra Elyea, who reâ€" cently resigned. Despite general reâ€" quest to Chief Elyea to rezonsider his decision he stood to his plan of retiring, but agreed to carry on the work after the end of March when his resignation was intended to take effect. The delay in naming a successor to Chief Elyea was due to the illness of Councillor W. H. Walter, chairman of the police comâ€" mittee, who was unable to attend meetâ€" ings for some days on account of his health,. This week he was able to be back @t duty so the appointment of the new police chief was proceeded with, Chief Parsons being selected.

Canad Every MONDAY and THURSDAY The fantastic plot, into which a numâ€" ber of perplexing and comical "situaâ€" tions‘"‘ were worked, proved ideal for those concerned in the producticn and since no elaborate scenery was required, a realistic effect was obtained. The story concerns principally Mr. and Mrs. Aubrey Maitland Allington (Gerald A. Gordon and Miss Norma Taylor) whose habits of spending money far beyond their income lead them to the edge of bankruptcy. Fortunately, they think, an uncle in Mexico dies, leaving them the income from a large estate for life, on condition that it be passed on to a friend the uncle knew in Mexico, George Maitland. Not content to have only the income, the Allingtons devise a way through which they are to be able to have the whole fortune and so wipe out all their debts. ‘"‘Tons of Money," a farce in three acts, opened last night to a capacity audience in the United Church hall. There was no doubt from the time the curtain went up as to how the audience liked the play. It was extraordinarily good performance of a script well suited to the players. Diction, makeâ€"up, diâ€" rection, stage setting were all well done and contributed to make the whole a pleasing success.

Brown in a remarkable good fashion. She is supâ€" posed to be in love with Sprules, the butler (E. Suddaby), and together they plot to get the inheritance. Sprules‘ decorum is seldom rufiled and the charâ€" acter is well done. Gerald Gordon, who changes characâ€" ter several times through the play, does his part with all the finesse of a proâ€" fessional. Miss Taylor, as his wife, has myriads of ‘brilliant ideas that lead them farther and farther into trouble. She typifies very well the young wife whose rather vague ideas of worldly affairs influences her inventorâ€"husband to do rather insane things. Miss Edith Hill as Miss Benita Mulâ€" lett, an elderly aunt of the Allingion‘s, does her difficult part well. Her insistâ€" ance that "You needn‘t shout, I‘m not deaf," brings many a good laugh from the audience. Harold F.
