AF ol 8 EA BOWMANVILLE MISS MARGARET CLIMIE, Representative Choir Boys' Phones: Office, 587; Res, 611 Training School Stage Splendid Show at Bowmanville Dpera House Has Capacity Audience for Affair Which Swells Funds for Annual Christmas Tree -- Youths Acquit Themselves Cred- jtably--Concett May Be Repeated. Bowmanville, Dec, 12.-- Those responsible for the concert put on by the choir of the Boys Training School on Tuesday evening must have felt most gratified -at the splendid audience which completely tilled the Opera House, and those who attended got more than thelr money's worth, Dr, Reaman, in 8 brief speech thanked the citizens for the interest shown in the boys and explained that the concert was for the purpose of raising money for their Christmas tree, Last year the merchants of the town had gen- erously given donations for this purpose but this year the school decided to do something for them- selves and Dr. Reaman said he hop- ed their concert would become an annual affair, Camp Scene The program opened with a chor- us by the boys which was sung be- hind the scenes and as the curtain gradually rose, it displayed the ('stage which had been transformed 'tnto\a beautiful forest scene with "Yhe /'Howard Ferguson" troop of Boy Scouts in camp. Scout Master J. E. Cunningham explained that they were going to a 'Jamboree in London and would have a re- hearsel of what they were to do there. The boys then went through their stunts which composed the first part of the program and in* cluded clever rope. throwing, step dancing, the singing of a trio, a re- citation by one of the boys which was considered such an excrueiat- ingly bad pun by the Scouts that they grabbed him and tossed him several times in a blanket, This created great merriment. Tommy Has Dreams When the "rehearsal" was over they started on a hike up the moun- tain, leaving "Tommy Tucker" fn charge of the camp. Before going, they warned Tommy not to eat any mince pie as it would cause bad dreams, Tommy did mot like the idea of having his diet regulated TAKE PINK CAPSULES When Stomach Upset HERE 1s no meed to have stomach trouble when Pink Capsules For Indigestion are so sure and prompt in action.

Bugg, Profi A, 8B. Trologer, Scarecrow, and Potato Bugs, Each of these turns was ex- ceptionally well put on, the Gnom- es and Potato Bugs being particu. larly amusing. The Scouts finally return from their hike and find "Tommy"' fast asleep. He begins to ask where the people are about whom he has been dreaming and fs reminded by the Scout Master that he was warned what woulé happen it he ate mince ple. One thing in the first part of the program which deserves special mention was the forming of a pyra- mid by the boys around the Scout flag. This was exceedingly well done, »1 Save The King The final number was a chorus "Scouts of the Nation" by the en- tire cast, Dr, Reaman had an- nounced that instead of the aud- fence singing the National Anthem at the close of the concert, as is usually done, that they would re- main standing and the boys would sing softly, one verse of "God Save the King." In view of the very critical condition of our King, this was a most fitting closing to their program. Able Directors The "Scout" part of the program was under the direction of J. Cunningham while the musical part was looked after by Frank Con- verse Smith and too much praise cannot be given these gentlemen for the splendid manner in which the entire concert was carried out, They were also ably assisted by the staff of the School who must have gone to endless trouble in pmaking the costumes and otherwise helping to make the evening a success. In view of the time spent and trouble tak- en in preparing the entertainment, it may be repeated, as no doubt many who were not present op Tuesday evening would be glad of the opportunity of seeing it. SCHOLARS ENTERTAINED Bowmanville, Dec. 12--Owing to St. Paul's Bazaar coming so close to Christmas this year, instead of hav! 2 th usual Christmas Tree and concert in conmection with the Sunday School, the scholars, with the exception of the primary depart- ments, were taken as guests to the entertainment given by the choir of the Boys' Training School on Tues- day night. There will be a Christ- mas Treat for the primary depart- ments one evening next week and possibly later on in the season there will be a School entertri~~ent. 5, LEGTURE THEME; REV. DR.

E. Kaiser, M.P. for South On- tario, in an able address presented at the regular monthly luncheon of the Whitby Chamb of Cc rce held in the council chambers yester- day noon. The luncheon was well at- tended and in the absence of the president, Mr, F. M. Irwin acted as chairman and introduced the speak- er to the audience. _ Extensive Credit Dr. Kaiser blamed the present orgy of speculation upon this tendency on the part of the large corporations and pointed out that in years past the banks had been able to preserve a saner public attitude to the stock market by raising interest charges to brokers when there was a tendency for over-speculation. In other words, he stated, the banks were able to apply the brakes. Now, however, although the banks had raised the interest charges, the corporations had bs fi ; : i g iy ght : of the present wild speculation. Due the action of the large corpora- Orgy of Speculation; Dr. Kaiser's Theme at Whitby C. C. Luncheon tions, the banks were powerless to check this tendency. In conclusion the speaker said that it was the business of the public to see that the banks were allowed to function as they ought and he sug- gested legal action for as he pointed out "when wrongs tart it is the duty of someone to stop them." Luncheon A vote of thanks to Dr. Kaiser was moved by Dr. C. F. McGillivray and seconded by Dr. G. L. MacDougall.

With regard to the blowing of the siren or warning horn, he referred to the fact that evidence had been submitted to show that as the truck rounded the corner this could not be operated as the engine had been shut off, Witnesses Evidence was given yesterday hy Fire Chief Wor.
