McCabe PAGE EIGHT _. udwig Von Beethoven, the great composer, the cen- tenary of whose death is being observed this year, was stone deaf when he wrote some of his greatest compositions. In the house at Bonn, Germany, in which he was born, are displayed some extraordinary vexpedients in the'shape of ear trumpets, which the great musical genius resorted to in the years in which his precious hearing was approaching complete eclipse. Contrast these crude devices with the audiphone, lately perfected by Bell Telephone engineers, and which employ a. small microphone, vacuum tube amplifiers, and a tiny telephone receiver molded to fit the ear. This product of Bell System research has proved a great boon in recent months to thousands afflicted with deafness, and one cannot but wonder what still greater triumphs Beethoven might have achieved had such a. device been available in his day. 98 Polling Sub-Divisions Commercial Printiné 107 “194 141 97 106 57 First Deputy 137 69 63 24 174 Second Deputy-Reeve *4 54 81 68 46 84 16 178 Councillors 29 62 19 145 2 114 12 82 87 42 77 79 When in need of Job Printing of any descrip- tion call on us.

WOODBRIDGE STOUF‘FVILLE mm‘n A good criterion of the popularity of entertainments sponsored by this or- ganization is the fact that long before the program was scheduled to com- mence, the auditorium of the church was filled to overflowing and when the curtain was raised the gallery was al- so filled to capacity. Although the chief attraction on the program was the play enacted by members of the Men’s Class with the assistance of some of the young ladies of the Church, the Thornhill orchestra under the able leadership of Miss Aileen Atkinson, received a goodly share of applause after each selection they rendered. Another nice feature on the program was selections render- ed by Mr. John Duncan, 0n the Harp. This young man has just arrived here from the Old Country where he played to some very large audiences, and his 1reception at Thornhill was very en- couraging. The program presented to the pat- rons was as good, if not better, than in former years, and well in keeping with the high standard of entertainment at all times provided by this enterprising class of men. Women’s Institute Meeting The regular monthly meeting of the Thornhill branch of the Women’s Instâ€" itute will be held at the home of Mrs. J .A. Thompson, Thursday after- noon, January 19th. The roll call Will be answered with a helpful Idea for the New Year. There will also be other interesting items on the pro- gram. All ladies of the vicinity are linvited to become members. New Year’s Entertainment The United Church in Thornhill pre- sented a very gay appearance on Mon- day evening last, upon the oceasion of the fourth annual entertainment of the Young- Men’s Class of that Church. Ragged Rufusâ€"“No, lady, youse wrong me. I wuz in de pen for eight years.” , Annual Meeting of United Church Sunday School The annual meeting of the United Sunday School was held at the home of Mrs. J.L. McDonald last Wednes- day evening. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year:â€" Superintendent, A.W. Galbraith; as- sistant Superintendent, Bert Oke; secâ€" retary, Willard Simpson; treasurer, Neil McDonald; Pianist Edith Davies; assistant pianist, Marguerite Echlin; teachers, Mrs. Wesley, Mrs. McDon- ald, Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Luesby, Miss- es Lillian Francis, Ruth ‘Strangways, Effie Bird, Messrs M.J. Johnson, B. R. Strangways, Albert Pearson, N.L. Morton, Neil McDonald. As stated before, the main feature of the program was: the play, entitled “We are Coming.” This play was written by a Canadian, lady, residing in Western Canada, and deals in a very comprehensive and intelligent manner with the liquor traffic in Canada. There is a very fine moral woven into the play, and, in addition, is liberally interspersed with humor. This play is the biggest thing ever attempted by the Men’s Class, and the manner in which the various ones taking part, handled their parts was wonderful. The following participatedâ€"Miss E. Davies, Miss E. Barker, Miss Reta Dean, Miss Rheo Hooper, Miss Marion Smellie, Miss Mildred Sumner, Messrs Bruce McDonald, Craig McDonald, Gordon Galbraith, Ralph Johns and Bryan Sharpless. The play was und- er the personal supervision of Miss Marguerite Boyle, who needs no intro- ,duction to these columns. Young People's Meeting The regular weekly meeting of the Young People’s Society of the United Church here will be held in the Sun- day School room next Monday evening January 9th. A good programme has been arranged for, so start the New Year right by coming to these meet. ings, they will prove very helpful as well as interesting. Much favorable comment was heard in regard to the evening’s bill, and the Young Men’s Class is to be commend- ed on their fine effort to provide good wholesome entertainment for the resi- dents of Thomhill and environs. Mrs. R.A. Nesbit entertained this afternoon in honor of Mrs. (Rev.) J. W. McIntosh, of St. Johnsbury, Ver- mont . Mrs. Challender and son Dick have returned after spending several mon- ths in England. Lady of the houseâ€"â€"“I suppose you’- ve been a hobo all your life.” Mrs. Lowery, of Toronto spent New Year’s with her sister Mrs. A. Brill- inger. A man went to stay in the country and his host, thinking he would like a little sport, lent him a gun and sent him out with some dogs. In half an hour he ref"‘-ned. “You’re soon back,” said the host. “Yes. I want some more dogs. I’ve shot all those," said the man.
