The proceeds from the event will be in aid of the "B" Athletic Club. This club was formed for the Birch street school boys who do not belong to other boys‘ groups such as the Boy Scouts, etec. The club is selfâ€"governing and has been a helpful success. The boys of the club are specially interested in wholesome sports and want to enter the interâ€"school hockey. Uniforms and equipment will cost quite a bit and it would be well worth while to patronize this variety concert just to give the lads a helpâ€"along in their good work.

These facts are worth rememâ€" bering so that when the boys offer you tickets for the event, you will say:â€" ‘"Sure, I‘ll take a couple." Tickets are half a dollar each, with children adâ€" mitted for a quartar at the duor.
