nN the Ontario side of the Niagara
River have sprung up In the last
year or two any number Of Country"
and Golf" clubs which, to be sure,
maintain courses of varying worth, but
which also possess large and imposing
structures known as the locker houses"
1t Is notable that several of these clubs,
while having very fine buildings for
dining. dancing and the several other
social activities for which country clubs
are famous. also have even larger out
buildings which contain lockers of un-
usual size. not to mention stores Of gin
ger ale, seltzer, ice and other ingredients
Of Notwithstanding but readily blend

It was not many weeks ago that a
we'll known evangelist visited the Niagara
frontier. His utterances are famous all
over the Nation. as are some of his fa-
vorite remarks to Satan, whom he treats
with little respect and no reserve. In
the minds Of many. in fact, he has con-
fused the Evil One with the Demon
Rum-hc Is one of our sternest prohi-

During his say in Buffalo this ear

evangelist made speech tempered to
| character not to offend those who greet

expressed hope that the day was not far
distant when all OF North America
would be dry and conditions would be
as ideal in Canada as they were in the
| United States. Nor were his utterances
ill-received. He was applauded not only
with hand-clapping. but with cheers,
and the echoes of the latter seemed to
reverberate back from the locker build
| ing as he and his host stepped out to
their car, which. evidently as a gesture
Of courtesy, was standing before the
door.

evangelist Is we'll known to almost every
one and his manner is jolly. comrade-
ship toward all the customs guard who
greeted him was most brief in delay.
You'll find none OF that poisonous
stuff In here" the noted evangelist said.
Yes. SIR" said the guard. and the
motor passed on.
| Hardly had the host returned his new
and shiny sedan to its garage and en-
tered the house before his telephone
rang. Bill" said an excited voice
