Initial Performance Of Fine Play, “Br-id. get O'Rourke” To- night-Annual Church Parade To- morrow.

Everything was ready yesterday for the openine or the 112m cele- bration of the Benevolent Irish Society tonight. when the initial Dflffiiflflllfwe 0f “Brldflet O'Rourke", sparkling three act mystery com- edy will be prerentcd in the Prince Edward Theatre. It's worth see- 1118. this magnificent production under the direction of Dr. T. E. E. Robins. It has taken time and energy to prepare to stage this play but the amateur performers have been coached until they are letter perfect and an evening's en- tertainmerlt without a d-ull mom- ent is assured.

And the specialties are not the least of the fine program. Amateur talent at its best will be seen and heard. The orchestra, under the capable direction of Miss Thelma Burns, needs no introduction. Among the fine selections which it. will render will be an overture which was heard in the Capitol Theatre, Dublin, on St. Patrick's Day in 1936.

Tomorrow morning the annual parade of the Benevolent Irish Society will be held- The parade

will move off from the Society Hall, Bank of Commerce Building, at 9.45. Chief Marshal A. J .Dow- ling will be in charge. League of the Cross and Canadian Legion Bands will take part.

The route of march will be Queen, Water and Great George Streets to St. Dunstans Basilica where Society members will at- tend church rervioes and where an appropriate sermon will be preach- ed by Rev- Basil Doyle. Paulist Father.

At approximately 11 o'clock the parade will reform and the return route o! march will be via Great George, Water, Weymouth and Grafton Streets to the Hall. At ‘the Cenotaph the salute will be given by the Chief Marshal in memory of the fallen heroes.

After the parade reaches the Hall a short meeting and entertainment. will take place in honor of the patron Saint of the Society. Prom- inent citizens have been invited to take part.

Besides varied armaments, com- munlques said, the Government captured many Insurgent prisoners including 110 Italians.

NAVALCARNERD, Spain, March 15—(CP) — Insurgent headquarters reported advances tonight on two frgnts in a drive to encircle Mad- rl .

A new oflensive was saidtohave carried one Insurgent force for- ward in Guadalajara Province, northeast of Madrid, while another column pushed several miles deep- er into the Jars-ma Valley toward a Junction east of the capital.

Nine Planes Shot Down

Unoflicial advices said nine Gov- ernment planes were brought down in addition to 10 others reported captured.

Southeast of Madrid. where the Insurgents were trying to close Madrid's corridor to the sea, war hostages were said to have told officials the capital was so short of food many men had ventured to front line villages in search of supplies for their families.

TheInsurgent radio broadcast that Leglonnaires and Moroccan cavalry, supported by a large fleet of tanks, had captured sev- eral villages in the Guadalajara sector, finding them deserted ex- cept for women and children.

The reports said bad weather kept the Insurgent planes ground- ed but thatr artillery barrages wrecked the Government's en- trcnchment-s outside the city of Guadalajara, provincial capital a- bout 32 miles from Madrid.

Gen. Franco's headquarters at Salamanca denied Government re- ports that Italian soldiers oom- prised the main part of his Guad- alajara army. Insurgent com- mandera declared there was only a “unit of Iogionnaires," in which were foreign volunteers.

nounclng that she had found her soul mate and that, following his teaching, she was going to shake ofl the shackles of conventional- ism. Mother and father, however, endowed with deep understanding of their daughter, played the game in the -way the young people did not expect and shocked their daughter into a return to the or- thodox view of life.

Last. but not by any means least was "Marching Feet," a dramatic episode arranged by Miss Ruth Heartz and Mr. Charles MacKen- zle from a short story by Leslie Gordon Barnard. Direction was also by the local playwrights.

The scene was laid in an estam- lnet in a French village in 1921. An old French lady believed that a young man. who had 10st his memory and was unbalanced men- tally, was her son returned from the war. She had believed him dead for several years. The arri- val of an English officer at the inn discloses ~ that apparently the name- less young man was English, asoi- dler whose mother mourned as dead while the old French lady be- lieved he was her son returned al- most from the grave‘.

An overture and between act selections by the Little Theatre orchestra under the direction of Mr. Harry Gomez was an enjoy- able feature of the evening's en- tertainment.

Urge Scheme To Guar. antee Canadian Shipments To Unit- e d K i n g d o m Market.

(C. I‘. by Guardian's Special Wire)

OTTAWA, March 15 —-Means of providing a steady movement of Canadian cattle, hams and bacon to the British market were dis- cussed in the House of Commons today but nothing very concrete was suggested. The discussion arose as the new Canada-United Kingdom-trade ag- reement was reviewed clause by clause in committee of ways and means. Article five requires Can- ada to co-operate in the British Government's effort. to stabilize file marketing of meats. Conservative Leader Bennett said Canada could not go on using the British market as a convenience and the United Statcs market as a regular outlet and hope to retain the British market. The result of such a policy was that when prices were favorable in the United States no meat was shipped to Great Britain and the British trade was left in a difficult posit- ion. It. then had to turn to Den- mark. Poland or Russia for in- creased quantities and it was not always eusy to obtain them on short notice. “That's our difficulty," said Fin- ance Minister Dunning. Canada should guarantee t0 ship 10,000 cattle to the United King- dom each month, said Harry Lead- er (Lib. Portage La Prairie). The government should set out to secure these cattle by a. subsidy to the farmers or some other method to overcome the natural tendency to ship to the United States when prices were higher there. John Blackmore, Social Credit Leader, thought the subsidy sug- gestion a good one and wondered what other proposal Mr. Bennett might have in mind. The habit of using the British cattle market. as a convenience could be overcome without c, sub- sldy, Hon. H. H. Stevens (Recon. Kootenay East) believed. There were only a few shippers and by co-operation between the shippers, the shipping companies and the Government, the movement could be stabilized. An oligarchy in the Department of Agriculture had kept. Canada back in hog production. charged Dr. J. K. Blair (Lib. Wellington North). He declared officials in that department were “dead as Caesar's ghost" and about one third of them could be dismissed. But for these officials he said the former minister of agriculture, Hon. W. R. Motiierweli and Hon. Robert. Weir, would have imported Datiish pigs which were superior to the Yorkshire pigs raised chiefly in Canada. Dr. Blair said he had told an of- ficial the members of the agricul- ture committee shouid get reports from the department's livestock market service. He had been told the reports were sent and onlook- ing up the list he had found the names of members of Parliament either dead or defeated. The list had not been revised for six years. When the committee took upar- tlcle six and schedule four fixing a maximum duty on a long list o! United Kingdom products, John R. MacNlcol (Cons. Toronto-Daven- port) declared Canadian industry was hampered by "incessant tariff tinkering". He was speaking on behalf oi’ the industrial worker, who was the one most. affected. Ontario was proposing minimum wages but he questioned how this could be done when there was no pcrlnancncy in tariff schedules. With the Prime Minister repre- sentillg a Saskatchewan seat and the Finance Minister and Minister of Agriculture both former prem- iers of Saskatchewan, the Govern- ment was spending considerable time looking after the interests of that province, Mr. MacNicol said. He suggested the Government oc- cupy itself in the interests of the industrial workers 0d’ Ontario, “or they can't continue putting up the money for Saskatchewan." Manufacturers of farm imple- ments and machinery were "not the robbers or bandits we so often hear them described as," Mr. Mao- Niool said. Their workmen were the hast in the world and their interests should not be prejudiced by tariff action.
