BRILLING ER BARN BURNED OBITUA RY Junior Farmer Drama Festival With Easter week fast approach- ing, the Junior Farmer Clubs of York County are busy rehearsing their on-eâ€"act plays for the 5th an- nual Drama Festival wh'ch as usual, will be held at Pickering College, on Thursday and Friday, March 28 and 29. Four years ago it was de- cidued to hold all the plays at one point and lby holding the contest during Easter week when the stu- dents are home, all groups get one rehearsal in- the auditorium: before the competition. There are six clubs competing this year as compared with four last year and Mr. G. K. T. A1d=ersoni of Toronto High School of Commerce has been secured to ad’jud‘icate the plays. The calibre of these players is indicated by the rating of last year’s winner which “woqu have been placed about eigh¢h in the D0- minion: Drama Festival”. It was later put on for the Downtown Ki- wanis‘ Club of Toronto. The Junior Farmer groups have mad|e wonderful progress and put up their sets and run off their plays like regular troupers and‘ in fact, are only allowedfi ten minutes to set up their stage. It is a real treat to see the dispatch and organization displayed by these young players. The groups competing this year are: Thursday, March 28th:: Stouffville, “The Boys Come Home”; Victoria Square, “The Rest Cure”; Nonbleton, “Up North”. Friday, March 2‘9th: Sharon, “Bud‘dw Answers an Ad’"; Vellore, “Spreading the News”; ‘Unionville, “Brothers in Arms”. Patrons should plan to be seated by 8 p.m. as the doors will posi- tively be closed( as.‘ the curtain rises at 8.15. Since the plays are in com)- petition, none can 'be allowed’ to enâ€" ter or leave during a play EASTER MUSIC AT THE UNITED CHURCH The message of Easter will be musically interpreted on Sunday ev- ening next at 7 o’clock at the Unitâ€" ed Churth when the choir will We- sent Part III of Handel’s “Messw iah”, under the direction of Mr. Adelmo Melecci.

It contains the beautiful soprano aria, “I Know That My Redeemer Liv- eth”, sung by ._Miss Nixola Fisher, the familiar baritone solo, “The Trumpet Shall Sound”, by Mr. Wm. Merell of Toronto who will assist the choir, as well as the air for soprano, “If God Be For Us”, by Mrs. D. ‘C'hamney. The stirring Hallelujah Chorus from PartJI will complete the performance. At the morning service the music will consist of a duet by Mrs. Cham- ney and Mr. Rand Phixprps, and tenor solo by Mr. Lauder Glass, as well as the anthem “Now Christ is Risen From the Dead”, by the choir. At a joint work and- business meetâ€" ing of the Girls" Red Cross cm Mar. 19th several surgical dressings were prepared~ and it was decided to make an autograph quilt. Buy, a space in a block and have the pleasure of seeing your name go to a Red Cross Hospital overseas. Plans are already under way to hold a dance in the near future. This promises to be an entertaining event entirely under the auspices of the Girls’ branch with novelty dances and prizes. Watch for further an- nouncement next week. SOME EASTER EGG Mr. Sam Mashinter of Vaughan Township has a hen co-ropel'ating one hundred per cent in celebrating the Easter season. This week a fine Black Giant hen laid an egg which tipped) the scales; at exactly five ounces. Can anybody beat that for an Easter egg? JUNIOR RED CROSS MW OOOOWWWW Col. Mulock Urges Electors To Carefully Consider Election Vote WNMOOMOOOOOOOQOWOMMOW 'In comparison with the heated criticism of Canada’s war efforts by ’those desperately seeking political advantage are the unsolicited testiâ€" mony of those well qualified» to speak. Just to mention one there is the case of the Hon. Dr. D. M. Sutherland, identified. with the Canâ€" adian Militia for forty-three years, and who was Minister Oif Defence in the Conservative Government of Hon. R. B. Bennett. In a published stateâ€" "ment referying' to the criticism of Canada’s war effort Dr. Sutherland said “I think the government has been doing everything that could ipossibly be done. I am convinced of i that.” Canada’s War Effort Has Won Highest Praise From Empire Leaders â€" Former Minister in Bennett Cabinet Commends Government “On the eve of voting in this gen- eral election I ask that the electors of North York consider seriously and calmly the important duty of cast- ing a vote on Tuesday, March 26th,” said Col. W. P. Mulock, Liberal cane didate in North York in an interâ€" view with The Liberal to-day. In making this important decision the popular North York candidate urged that the electors give careful thought on the seriousness of the interna- tional situation. “I am satisfied,” he said, “if you Weigh the true facts of Canada’s war effiort and‘ the ex- treme seriousness of the world situ- ation you will agree that war time is no time to change, and that at this critical time Canada needs the guidlance of experienced, tried and trusted leadership.” Dealing with the criticism which has been directed at Canada’s war effort Col. Mulook declared that the people should compare the petty, ir- responsible, misleadrinug and utterly false statements of many of those politically opposing the present gov- ernment, with. the generous praise of distinguished Empire leaders. Who, he asked, has criticised Canada’s war efforts besides those who are inter- ested in advancing their own politi- cal interests? W. R. Given, formerly the pubâ€" lisher of the Kingston Standard and a prominent member of the Conser- vative party in a pwblic letter to the newspapers of Ontario set forth in detail his views. Commenting on the type of campaign carried on by Dr. Manion and his associates Mr. Given savs: “Vitriolic abuse of the Given says: "vunouc wuuze oi mu, King Government will avail or pro- fit little.

If we cannot be fair. let us at least not be silly.” Continuing Mr. Givens said: “To say that the King Government has made a shocking mess of its conduct of the war will not get us anywhere, because any sane .man who has studied conditions, and followed the doings of government knows that it is not so. The British Government does not think so, and our conting- -ents overseas, and their splendid .cond‘ition re-inforce 'that view.” As to the charge of patronage Major-General A. G. L.

It has been stamped out by our Min- ister (Mr. Rogers) himself, and] merit as judged by the responsible officers each in their proper degree, is the sole criterion for selection and promotion.” Col. Mulock is receiving enthusi- astic swpport in all parts of the con- stituency and his record of faithful and devoted service to the Riding has won him widespread support of people of all party affiliations who recognize that genuine and sincere service deserves rec0gnition.
