On Wednesday, Mar. 21, the. gym- nasium at Simcoe Hall, will be the centre of interest for some 150 boys of all ages who will be enjoying a hearty meal of beans, bread and milk, as well as with entertainment There will be no fee the event, but .as an admission ticket, each boy will be given a sheet of paper with a drawing printed on it, and, if he wishes, may color the drawing. During the meal, the best colorings will be judged, and the owners will receive a prize. However, a boy is not compelled to enter this contest in order to take part in the festivities. Last year at the some 140 boys participated and con sumed over 1190 ounces of beans, plus a considerable stock- pile of milk and bread. The boys supplied their own enter tainment last year. The "tickets' for the event will be ready for distribution next Wednesday.
