ANTI-UNIONISTS ASK CHANGES TO CHURCH ACT They shook off the enow Monday night, Winnipeg and his wife and the Mlseee Winnipeg and their brothera, and stepped into New Orleans, or Nice, or was It Monte Carlo? Well, none of these, perhaps, but something very like them at least If you wore the proper paper cap of fancy and tangled yourself In the paper streamers.

After you bought your thousands of gy roubles (the proper paper currency) at the purple and oranga colored booths, and passed upstairs under the electric sign GTRO and Its frama work of balloons, you found yourself In a new land. It was a land of noise and merriment; a land of jass and dancing; a land of balloons and colored streamers and paper roaes; a land of wheels of fortune; a land of Pierrots and plerettei and fypstas and Hindu potentates, Japanese Geishas, pirates, toreadors, grandees and tramps, Ku Klux Hangmen, rompsrsd and plnafored children, dancing girls of all dimes (practically). ehelke and flappers; a land of the happiest incongruity of times and nationalities and colors, a land and what could better typify ItT whose queen was a fan and whose king was seen wearing a Pierrot costume when he had laid away the crown and soeptrs. In plain words for the benefit of those who had no magic paper caps to transport themselves It was the carnival and Mardl Gras of the Winnipeg Gyro club, in the Royal Alexandra hotel. The revele were at their height about eleven odock when Rex, ia ordinary life known as Col.

Royal Burrltt, marched Into the ballroom and took his seat upon the throne. The trumpets sounded their fanfare, the gold and purple plerrots cleared a lane in the crowd of dancers, and the cadets In khaki and the dancing girls in pink and white and blue lined up as a guard of honor. The trumpets called again, and in strode his majesty, in regal purple, be-crowned and be-sceptred, and sat himself upon the throne. The pages presented him with the scroll and he called for his queen. This was Mrs.

F. Thomas, who, uniquely dressed as a Japanese fan, had carried off the first prise for ladles' costumes When ahe, well applauded and looped in streamers, had taken her place betide Rex, the monarch (with a megaphone!) read out the names of tlie other winners and called them to come forward for their prises. They were: Ladles best. Mrs. F.

Thomas (fan); ladles' comic. Miss Margaret Lavery (In Search of a child, Alois Thomas (Daisies Wont Tell); gentlemen's best C. Salberg (rajah); gentlemen's comic, B. J. Watson (ballet girl).

Beauty and originality, as well aa humor, were much in evidence in the costumes, wherever you went. One man was a living erase word pusxle. another was Happy Hooligan, and there was a sheik" turned hobo, and a radio man. Tonight there will bo more prises and a new queen. Battle of Flowers Cabaret glrle and cadets started the battle of the flowers when the prizewinners had all been satisfied, and all the balloons In the place there were scores went popping with the sound of something like a real battle.

passed at the last session of the local legislature, under which the Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregational churches form one united church. The first amendment asks that the vote on union be taken by secret ballot, and that a meeting of the congregation for the purpose of taking the vote ehall be called on requisition of a certain portion of the members, depending upon the numerical strength of the congregation, and that the vote be taken within 10 days from the date of the requisition. Under the act aa it stands at present ail persons on the church roll June 10 next can vote. Opponents of the prestnt act point out that church aeeetofis can in the meantime load the liets, depending whether the congregation as a whole is favorable or opposed to union, and that the vote therefore would be unfair. The amendment seeks to have the voting take place at once, or in the alternative, that no property or trust concerning property shall be affected by the old act until after six months after the vote is taken.

In other words, the antl-unlonlets desire to avoid having first to enter union in order to be permitted to vote out. A further amendment aeeke to protect non-concurring minorities in congregations, and to provide a fair division of church properties. For this purpose it asks that the lleuten-ant-fovernor-in-councll shell have authority to appoint a commissioner or commissioners to ensure fair treatment ia given minorities and the means of carrying on their religious body or continuing denomination. It is pointed out by the anti-unionlste that in some towns like Halifax, N.8.. and Regina, votes by narrow margins have consigned all church properties to the union majorities and left nothing for the large minorities.

This, it la claimed, haa in the minorities having to rent halla for carrying on church services, who also, later on. will have to buy land and build new churches. The majorities who hold the properties under narrow votes, similarly, ere called on to carry too heavy a load. A commission. it Is alleged, could have brought the people together, and allotted church properties according to strength, and at the same time blot out personal bitterness, and prevent waste and antagonism.

Another amendment seeks a declaration that ministers of the Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregational churches who do not become ministers of the United Church of Canada shall nevertheless continue to possess, have, and be subject to all the privileges, rights and duties of ministers of the gospel under any tatute or law in force at any time in the province of Manitoba, and also have the right to solemnise the ceremony of marriage. Amendments to the former act Incorporating the Union church have been introduced into the Manitoba legislature by Robert Jacob, Liberal member for Winnipeg. the akfaat food you mag get a package of Vfriftletp too Wise mother s- she rewords the little errand runner with something delicious, long-lasting and beneficial.
