The al- firmative was supported by Miss Irene Martin and Jim Haw of Flesh- erton, while Misses Frances Carson and Evelyn Shouldicu of Dundalk upheld the negative. All the speak- ers did exceptionally well and brought out many strong arguments and the debate was exceedingly Ln-j interesting and beneficial to an 1 audience which filled the church to capacity. The affirmative took! the ground that modern armaments; are enormously costly and prepareii- r.ess was sure to lead to war with all its horrors and blood shed, while the negative maintained that envyj and jealousy, bitter ri^alrys and mis- trust were the cause of war, and; until the cause was removed there would be strife even though they had to fight with rolling pins or bows and arrows. The judges were Mr. T. R. McKcnzic of Port Law, Mrs. Patterson <rf Inistioge and Mrs. Johnston of Prton, who decided that the ne<rative had slight- ly tiio better of the argument.
