A bachelor is a man hose mind is filled with obstin- gcy, and whose soul is filled with pspicion. Husbands are of three eties: prizes, surprises and con- plation prizes. Making a husband put of a man is one of the highest ; known to civilization. It re- uires science, patience, persistence, th, hope and charity. If a woman flatters a man she Fightens him to death, if she does ot she bores him to death. If she ieves all he tells her, he thinks she's foolish, if she doesn't he hinks her a cynic. If she wears colours, rouge, lipstick and a ng 'hat, he hesitates to take out; if she wears a little brown furban and a tailor-made suit, he $akes her out and stares all evening a woman in gay colours who is inted up like a brass door and ars & hat that bops you in the .

The visitors were welcomed by 'Bros. Jackson, C.R., and H. Thomp- son, FS. of Court Nestleton, *. The feature of the evening was the tation of the 25-year pins, symbolic of the pioneers of the Or- der. Those receiving buttons were Bros. Jackson, Thompson, Philip, Curran, Staples, Malton Emmerson, PFitze, Johns and Trick, Special mention was made of Bros. A. H. Veale, Charter member of the Or- der and 'J. Armstrong' Experiences of the work done, the sacrifices made by these early fra- ternal minded pioneers, was most interesting, depicting the change, not only in the manner of living, but of the trend of thought, then and today. Clearly showing that the trend seems to be away from spirit- ual concepts, neighborliness, toler- ance and unselfishness, to individ ualism and selfishness. In his remarks Bro. H. Thomp- son dwelt at some length on these points, Stating that the Canadian people of today had been handed a Divine heritage built on unselfish- ness, sacrifice and faith in their Creator that sustains and directs them ever onward. Today Cana- dian people were faced with many isms, but fraternalism was the so- lution of all mankind's worries. Visiting speakers were Bros. OC. Ferguson J.C.P.R, H. Strathdee CR., E.

Local Music Lovers Enjoy Duo-Pianists Their Repertoire Is Extensive A large and enthusiastic crowd of Oshawa music lovers turned out to the Regent Theatre last night to hear a highly distinguished two- plano recital given by the noted British pianists, Ethel Bartlett and Rae Robertson. Continued ap- plause brought the well-match- ed pair back to the stage for num- erous encores which only heighten- ed the impression of the audience that it had heard one of the finest evenings of music in many a year. "The second of this year's concerts sponsored by the Community Con- cert Association, Oshawa, was for tunate to be able to secure the ser- vices of the talented pair who have long been known on the European continent and have given many .| recitals with leading American or- chestras, As a husband and wife duo piano attraction they have been unrivalled anywhere. Last night they began their pro- gram with several light pieces by Bach and Handel. We particularly enjoyed the quality of a gentle lul- laby which they managed to evoke around the lovely melody in Bach's "Aria: Sheep May Safely Graze". Axother of Bach's, which they play- ed, the "Gigue in C major", was a lilting piece that reminded: one of the typical English ballad. As the planists and the audience warmed up to the program, the playing and the applause became more enthusiastic. In fact, the en- cores seemed to be the best part of the evening's performance. We es- pecially liked the beautiful rendi- tion of that lovely choral piece by Bach, "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desir- ing". Misg Bartlett and Mr. Rob- ertson played so movingly and so gently, this great work that it was an event in itself, S Another short but lively ballad which they offered as an encore was that old North Country song, "Keel Row" ag arranged by Thomas Austin, To those wlio had never heard of the composer, Mr. Robert~ son Informed them, Mr, Aus- tin .was a Canadian, The two put their hearts into this rollicking number and brought down - the house with their rendition. Their final selection was that old favorite, Franz Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2", to which they did noble justice. Opening with the sol- emn, stately, almost martial notes, this beautiful composition soon re- flects the gay gypsy mood charace- teristic 'of the. people about whom it wag written, and the skilful duo- plano playing of the British couple brought out this almost violin-like quality in the selection with their vibrant touch, They performed a well-known se- lection by Edvard Grieg, "Noc- turne", in which they captured all the rich haunting tonal qualities so deeply imbedded in most of the works of that Norwegian composer and proved that they were not merely adept at lighter, gayer se- lections. Frederic Chopin's "Rondo" and Gluck's "Gavotte" as well ag the modern rumba-inspired piece com- posed by Arthur Benjamin called "Jamaican Rumba" were also in- spiringly played. One selection which we did not particularly like was the arrange- ment they used of the familiar "Blue Danube". It was an A. Chas- ins transcription for two pignos of the Strauss number "adapting freely the "brilliant Schulz-Evler para- phrase." It sounds like it--a bit choppy with little of the original left. Other selections played during the concert were: Handel's "Arrival of the Queen of Sheba" from "Sol- omon"; Bach's "Fugue in G minor"; Robert Schumann's "Andante and Variations"; the "Scaramouche Suite" by Darius Milhaud and two more encores, "Summer Wind" by Saint-Saens and "Liebestraum" by Franz Liszt. Dog Survives Canal Current Niagara Falls, Nov. 26 -- (CP)-- Employees of the Queenston power house near here were astounded when a collie dog survived a gruel- ling battle with the treacherous currents of the swift power canal, being submerged and winding up in the penstocks still alive.. The ani- mal was rescued by riggers at the power plant. Humane Society of- ficers are now seeking the owner. Train Wreck' Delays Them In Mr. Robertson's own words "Oshawa very nearly did have" the duo-piano team of Bartlett and Robertson here last night. Expected on an early afternoon train the NEAR MILLION MEN, WOMEN GET BENEATS couple did not arrive for an hour or | have more after their scheduled time-- and then not by train but by taxi The trouble, they explained, was a train collision, On their way from New York a freight engine ran into the engine of their train, injuring the engineer and causing a delay of two hours. As a result they missed connections and had to take a taxi from Buffalo. This charming pair who have been playing together since their student days have just returned from a tour of England, Scotland and Holland, "Starved For Music" "The people in Holland are starved for music," Mr. Robertson explained. "My wife and I were so affected by our reception at the Hague that we had difficulty in gaining control to give a good con- cert. The audience rose as we came out to play, crowding the aisles and lapping on to the stage, and stood mutely waiting with tears coursing down their cheeks. "We had packed houses in Hol- land because the people have plenty of money to spend and nothing to buy. They have had little music for years, and although the Germans arranged concerts the Dutch would not attend them." Referring further to their Euro- pean tour, Mr. Robertson said it became the habit during the war to play a summer season so that people could get home before the blackout time. "Years agoX he said, "this would have been unheard of but the back- wash still continues; the organiza- tions are still there and the people still want music as much as 'they did during the war." No Home But Always Together In February they leave for a tour of England, Holland and Scandina- via, lasting three months, then on to South America for two months. When asked if they had any dom- estic life at all, Mr. Robertson said "We have no home but we are to- gether 24 hours a day and it has been that way for 17 years. We are very lucky people." Bartlett and Robertson enjoy the same composers and have no trouble arranging a program. Outstanding of the contempories is Stravinsky, thinks Mr, Robertson with Shosta- kovitch following closely. "The Soviet makes pets of its artists and composers, even gives them a life pension, which affords the freedom from care that fosters creative genius,--but the output is all censored." "Let's skip it," was Mr, Robert- son's conclusive reply when asked how he felt about classical themes being used and adapted for popular music. . He explained that he does not despise popular music, but that he would mot play it as it does not be- long in the concert field. "It is surprising to find," he went on, "that some artists, thinking to make an instant success included popular music in their repertoire, only to find that audiences did not want it. They can have it all the time, they do not look for it in recital." Telling finally of their difficul- ties in reaching Oshawa, Mr. Rob- ertson asked if he might be excused so he could "take a little rest." "It will be a better concert," he added. . two branches, both in numbers of beneficiaries and in the aggregate re-establishment credits. Besides the total for re-establish ment credits, further large training and in aid under the Vet- erans' Land Act. The totals for these were not available today. Biggest chunk of the gratuity total has gone to one-time army members, who have collected so far about $300,000,000. The total number of cases approved for payment by the army is 568,333. Of these, pay~ ment has been mgde to all but 76,- 431 and these are being paid off now. In the navy, 103,380 applicants-- including some 6,000 Wrens--have qualified for a total of 42,850,000 in gratuities. A navy spokesman said it was expected all applications would be cleaned up by the end of the year except for those serving in the interim force, who would be finished by about next September. Former air force personnel hav made 226,232 gratuities applications with a total payment of around $150,000,000. .
