Quite characteristic of a good
English variety concert and equally
excellent in its every detail was the
entertainment given by the G.W.V.A,
before a crowded audience in the
Parish hall last Thursday, Presented
entirely by local artists, the program
made a great “hit’’ with the audience,
who, as invited guests of the associa-
tion, were later socially entertained
with refreshments and dancing. E,
Barrett, president of the veterans?
local, was the agreeable chairman, who
without imposing any formal oratory
upon the gathering, introduced with
commendable brevity the various
“‘turns,??

The program provided plenty of var-
iety. R.- Millard surprised all by
his ability in reciting Lord Tennyson’s

deck, fitting himself into the nautical
