THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 5, 1932 PAGE THREE Bowmanville Daily Times G. K. BROWN, Representative Office Telephone No. 744 MUSICAL EVENTS IN BOWMANVILLE Canadian Legion Band Gave Excellent Concert Last Night Last night seemed like music night in Bowmanville, for there were two attractions, that of the Music Study 'Club in Trinity Church and the Legion Band con- cert in the town hall. The con- gert by the Legion Band was to provide funds for new uniforms, and was fairly well attended, for outside of the Regimental Band at Orono, the Legion Band is the only other band in Durham County, and deserves the support of patriotic citizens. Mayor Geo. W. James acted as chairman for the band concert program, which is here given: Overture, "Determination"; March, "The Old Oaken Bucket"; Male Quartette, 'Cornfield Melo- dies", Messrs. H. Allin, A. W. Pickard, W. Carruthers, S. Glan- ville; Gavotte, "Frills and Furbe- fows"; March, '"Colonel Bogey"; Reading, Mrs. W, Adams; Vocal duet, Harold Allin and W. Car- ruthers; Waltz, Apres-Vous"; Characteristic, ""Coon's Holiday": Brass quartette, Messrs, B. Berry, A. Knox, H. Allin, W. Shotter; March, "Jolly Tars'"; Male quar- tette, "John Peel", Messrs, Allin, Pickard, Carruthers, Glanville; Characteristic, 'Sliding Jim"; Serenade, "Cytheria'"; Reading, Mrs. W, Adams; Galop, "Down the Stretch'. The band of 22 pleces was under the capable leadership of Mr. Robert Lowens. Singing of the National Anthem accompanied by the hand brought the concert to a close, MEETING HELD BY MUSIC STUDY CLUB Visiting: Artists Provided Fine Program at Open Meeting The regular meeting of Bow- manville's Music Study Club, held in Trinity church last evening was of unusual interest as the program was enlarged to include some visiting artists and was held as an open meeting to allow lovers of good music to attend, other than regular members, Mrs, C. H. Dudley presided at a short business session, first welcoming the visitors, and then proceeded with the business that could not wait over. She announced that the Club were going to donate a shield at the coming musical feftival, Other items were that SA Open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings, or by appointment at all times C. H.

Fitting reference was made to one of their departed members, Miss Bellman, and a motion was passed that the sec- retary send a letter of condol- ence to the bereaved mother, The opening number on the program was a rhapsody with Mrs. Dudley at the consol of the organ and Mrs. M. A. Neal at the plano. A string quartette from Toronto, 1st violin, Adolpha Koldofsky, 2nd violin, Mr. Sher- man, viola, Mr. Brimand, cellist, Mr, Adaskin, gave several num- bers, some by the old masters and others of more recent origin. Solo numbers were given by Mr. | Koldofsy who was accompanied by Miss G. Williams. Local talent who contributed numbers were Mrs. G. E. Reaman and Mr. H. Knight, They were accompanied by Mrs. Neal at the piano. The closing number was another of those delightful organ and piano numbers by Mrs, Dudley and Mrs. Neal At the close a vote of thanks was moved by Miss Greta Wickett, seconded by Miss Isobel Ogden and was tendered in the usual way. The singing of the Na- tional Anthem brought the meet- ing to a close.

The decline in 1930 was 10,000 cases, he states, while complete figures are not yet available for 1931. About 18 per cent of all Am- er'can marriages, or more than one in every six, ends in divorce, Dr, Cahen writes, directly affect- ing more than 500,000 men, wo- nen and children every year. This country has the highest di- vorce rate in the world he says, and hag had virtually since Colon- ial days, The extent of American family breakdown is not measured even by the 200,000 divorces annually. he sald.

DENY CHINESE ARE TAUGHT TO HATE Geneva. -- Denial that Chinese school textbooks teach hatred of foreigners, as charged by the Japanese, is made by Dr. W. W.

The new system: was largely bor- rowed from Japan and the West- ern world, "Modern history has, of course, taken its place in the school cur- riculum," the note announced. "But it is hardly China's fault that a faithful account of her foreign relations during the past hundred years does not always make pleasant reading for Ja- ran's subjects." In the past sixty years, prob- ably no nation, the Chinese dip- lomat contended, has sent so large a proportion of her studentsy abroad in quest of knowledge upon a broad and liberal scate.

Creighton, in police court this morning, sen- tenced Patrick Farrell, William Street East, to sixty days in the County Jail when he found him guilty of assaulting his wife on April 29 and occasioning her ac- tual bodily harm. Mrs. Farrell alleged that the accused struck her in the face with his fist, kick« ed her and struck her over the head with a pan, all of which was done for no apparent reason, SENTENCE SUSPENDED Sam Pawlinchuk, a former trustee of the Ukrainjan-Greek Orthodox Holy Mary Virgin Church on Bloor Street, was con- victed by Magistrate Willis, of Whitby, in city police court his morning, of wilfully and unlaw=- fully breaking the lock placed on the door of the church, His Wor- ship placed the accused on sus- pended sentence on the proviso that he pay the costs of the court and replace all damage that had been done in removing the lock. scratch the surface, Their opera- tions were confined chiefly to the shallow and rich-creek ground. Most of these locations have been pretty well worked out in the bet- ter known mining distriets, but practically no serious effort has been made by prospectors to dis- cover similar deposits on other creeks, "All 'through the Atlin country gold mining has experienced ex- pansion this year, There was a pronounced decline in operations from the conclusion of the war to 1929, but since then the figures have been gradually rising. The figures covering this per- fod portray a psychological con- dition resultant from the World War, rather than a potential con- dition of the field, and are con- tradictory 'to the promise of the area, High wages, high cost of commodities, decrease in gold value, the employment of funds in other endeavors returning high profits, the depletion in the ranks of prospectors by the war or their change of occupation to other lines of endeavor offering high and more easily won reward, the temporary attraction of the cities as gold mines of commerce, ease and affluence, were all po- tent factors in retarding activity in this still potentially rich field. Today conditions are reversed again; capital is once more turn- ing to gold with its increased vale ue and unemployed men are searching for the opportunity to dig the only metal that is always readily traded for the things they want. For these the Atlin area still offers much unexploited opportunities."
