In the world of the theatre, however. they only con- tribute to an exciting and enter- taining evening. Fred Carmicheal, for instance, used this theme. plus a tender romance. and a generous interlarding of humour. when he wrote “The Night Is My Enemy," the play presented by the Footlights Club of Thornhill, in Trinity Anglican Church Hall, on the evenings of April 8th and Footlights 3 Act Play Highly Dramatic Piece 9th. An eerie atmosphere was es- tablished when the curtain rose on a darkened room, and, while an unseen narrator "remember ed,” the spotlight picked out a gun on the sofa, moved to a lamp on the table, and then to an open window .Tension and mystery in- creased as the play progressed but the audience was kept in chilled suspense to the very end. ,\.1_ .1: Llllllyu vJIâ€"U‘vv-â€"vv The actors, under the able di- rection of Betty Priestman. could be described as a ten star cast since each gave a remarkably finished and believable perform- ance. ‘,A Joan Iddon, who in the last Footlights play was the witless “Cowslip,” brought charm, and delicacy to her part as Roane Shepperley, the blind ward of the Fontaines. Acknowledging her handicap, she wanted desperately to be considered normal, afraid to be alone amid sinister happen- ings, she showed great courage when she felt the stranglers hands about her throat, and presence of mind, when she blew out the lamp, and evaded her attacker in the gloom that was not dark to her. There were some touching little scenes with her admirer, Gerald Clayton, a handsome young barrister (well played by Andrew Hutchisonl in one of which she "sees" his face with her hands. and he describes her as "the girl who sees with her heart." ‘ Frank Baxter, who was also re- sponsible for the intricate and effective lighting, and who had heretofor only played bit parts, gave an exceptional performance as Tommy, the lovable retarded son of Margaret and Hubert Bil- lerI the housekeeper. and her handyman husband. The parts of Margaret and Hubert were slight- er than those Gwen Wojna, and Roger Priestman, usually handle, but they gave of their best. The relief of laughter was pro- vided by dependable Ruth Collins as Augusta Garvey, the flouncy, gossipy. and somewhat overpowâ€" ering family friend, and by Elizabeth Jennings, as Tessie the maid, who managed her long role with humour and finesse. Bert Funnell, disguised by a handle bar moustache was excel- lent as the man from Scotland Yard. Edith Jones, an actress of great experience gave a restrain-t ed and sensitive interpretation of Hester Fcntaine, the devoted wife, whose unacknowledged fears for her husband's health had- prompted their move from Lon- don to a sea coast town, Harry Iddon was the plausible Dr. Ora Fontaine, who turned out to be the villain of the piece. In his sick mind he had come to believe ‘that it was merciful to take the lives of the afflicted. He is told that he cannot play “God.” and, that in their own way, his vic- tims were happy and beloved. The play ends as he walks toward the edge of the cliff where the crippled girl had met her death.

' WILLOWDALE : North York council is considering the pos- sibility of acquiring a sanitary land fill site at Finch Avenue and Duflerin Street, the project might take one to three years.

Ralph Watley Authority Tuberous Begonia Plants by Doris M. FltzGerald Like many another ardent gar- dener Ralph H. Whatley likes to read seed catalogues in the drab pre-spring days. In one he no- ticed the picture and description ‘of an exotic tuberous Begonia. Deciding that this semi-tropical plant would be something new and interesting to grow he order- ed a few tubers locally. That was ten years ago, shortly before he and his family moved to Elgin St., Thornhill. Since then he has become a connoisseur of tuber- ous Begonias, and, always on the look out for newer and better strains, has imported roots from California and Great Britain. He also has a helpful Begonia fan- cier friend in Toronto, who pass- es on information, and sometimes orders roots for him when he goes abroad. For a time Mr. .Whatley won most of the prizes for tuberous Begonias at the Thornhill Horticultural Society shows, but now he says that he is receiving stiff competition from other members, whom he helped to start this fascinating hobby. Begonias derive their name from Monsieur M. Begon, a French patron of Botany, and their natural habitat is India and South America. Imported from South America in the seventeen hundreds, they became known as Rex Begonias because they were favoured by European kings, who paid botanists to study them.

Markham Purchases Two New Police Cruisers iginally a foliage plant, the deliâ€" cate, waxy flower has been de- veloped by cross breeding. and some blossoms new measure as much as seven inches in diameter. Best known varieties include Roseform. Camellia, Carnation and Picotee. Some are crested like a coxcomb, some flashed with streaks of contrasting color. and some have brilliantly hued edges. All are to be had in nearly every color except blue. Following a recommenda- tion of its Police Committee, Deputy-reeve W. Dean and Councillor L. Mumberson. Markham Township Council Monday accepted the bid of $2,322.80 of Little Brothers. Markham Village, for the purchase of two new 1958 Ford six cylinder police cruisers. Little's tender was the lowest of four tenders received. The two present 1957 Dodge cruisers will be traded in on the new models. Mr. Whatley says that he has found that tuberous Begonias do best in ‘a bed by themselves, as they are avid feeders and cannot compete with trees and shrubs. They are also fragile plants with a maximum height of 12 in., and are easily bruised or broken by the stalks of taller flowers on a windy day. They do well in the shade of a house where they re- ceive no more than three hours 'of sunlight during the day. After a winter of rest they must be started in the house or green~ house and planted outdoors when danger of frost is over. The cruisers will be com- plete with windshield wash- ers and heavy duty genera- tors and springs. Vaughan Township Fire Brigade was called out to 15 different grass fires over the weekend. several charges for lighting fires without a prop- er permitrhave been laid. Though Begonias have become a specialty they have by no means limited Mr. Whatley‘s in- terest in other flowers.

Grass fires are still a major problem, but the majority of those starting such fires are first obtaining a permit as required by law.
