1t will be noticed from the pro-
gram that there is a change in the {
date of comforting the Seventh de-
gree. This was due to inability to
secure The Playhouse on the day o
set. The Chamber OF II
Commerce early in the year had ar g
ranged to secure The Playhouse for r
the Grange but due to mlsunder- "
standing as to the dates an attrac- Il
ton was booked to run at the 9
theatre at the time the grange ses- "
sion meets here. In order to over u
come this difficulty the Chamber OF a. a.
Commerce bought out the entire "
house for the evening and turned Ie
it over to the Grang. I'e
