The Handel Choir of London is a non­ sectarian organization specializing in the performance of the English Oratorios. Alec Pudwell of St Thomas, organist and choir leader at St. Paul’s, is the permanent con­ ductor. Handel’s “Messiah” is without ex­ ception the most widely known of all Oratorios. Written in 1741, its popularity was immediate and through the years its annual rendi­ tion by most of the larger choral societies throughout the English speaking world has only served to increase its popularity. Part 1 deals with the Christmas story and is par­ ticularly applicable at this season of the year. Gerald Bales who will be the ac­ companist and also will present a half hour organ recital, was bora in Toronto 2/, years ago and at an early age showed signs of his remarkable talents and for the past 15 years he has been steadily increasing his pres­ tige until to-day he ranks as Can­ ada’s outstanding composer, pianist and organist. The conductor, Alec Pudwell, has made an extensive study of the Han­ del Oratorios and was a pupil for ten Jtears of that great master of the art of choral singing, Dr. H. A. Flicker of Toronto.

Flight Sergeant Arkell writes in part: “It is really grand to have the home town news arriving all the time, as I have plenty of time to read on these cool fall evenings, I was very pleased to read that Tom Dent won the election in Oxford County and the latest paper told me that the Ingersoll Baseball team defeated Waterloo in the first game of the series. On the other hand I was very sorry to read that three of Ingersoll’s finest boys are missing after operations over inemy terri­ tory ... A Merry Christmas to you, your staff and all your subscribers.” Flight Sgt. Pat Kirwin too ex­ presses his pleasure at being able to keep track of home town happen­ ings through the paper and con­ tinues: “Have been over here for quite some time now and have met a few of the boys from home—Jack Warden, Johnnie Copeland, Bill Hawkins, Austin Fortner, and Jack VanNorman. It seems to me that .we must have a good representation of Ingersoll over here, now.” The Ingersoll men serving over­ seas are indebted to the Kiwanis Club for the Tribune.

Two figures you must know before you shop for shirts are neckband and sleeve length. The neckband size is stamped both on the inside back of the collar-and on the lower front tail. Sites, run in half-inches, plainly from 14 to 17. Sleeve lengths are stamped on the lower front tail and run from 32 to 36 inches, in full inches only, although some stores will shorten sleeves for a slight charge. Good grooming demands that the shirt sleeve show only about a half-inch below the coat sleeve. Don’t measure his arm or sleeve yourself—look for the stamped measurements on one of his old shirts. The measure is taken from a certain point in the centre back. The shape of the collar you choose depends on the lines of the man’s face and neck, but today’s trend, following the military, is to­ ward a low-set neckline. Most men prefer collars attached and these are made in thrree main ways: First, three layers of cloth,' all separate and secured together only by the edge stitching. You can feel these layers with your fingers. This collar must be ironed expertly from the points toward the back, or the top layer will wrinkle. The second type ) is the “fused” collar which has been t treated so that the layers stick to- • gether. A good "fused” collar is wrinkle resistant, will not blister needs no starch, is easy to iron, will hold its shape well. The third type, found on white shirts only, is made of cloth actually woven on a curve to follow the neck. Cloth is single thickness, dodble-woven, needs no starch. When put on, it folds into place easily, with no cutting edge and resists wrinkling very well. Choose only shirts that will har­ monize with the colors in his suite but remember that he should have many more white ones than col­ ored. Look on the label for facts about expected shrinkage (this should never be more than 1%), color resistance, washing directions. Cotton is the ideal material for shirts and is well known for its cool comfort, agreeable touch, absorb­ency, long wear, washability inhome or laundry. If you have tolook after the shirt yourself, onceit’s finally purchased, remember that the less dirty a shirt gets and the often it’s washed, the newer, looking it stays. Launder shirts fre­ quently in a soapy-rich suds that give the “whitest wash” without the hard rubbing and scrubbing that wears fabrics out. Don’t let them freeze on the clothesline. Freezing and thawing break the fibres of the material. Use the proper setting of your heat control when ironing because a too hot iron will weaken cotton, even though no scorch shows. And finally, put the most recently laundered shirts at the bottom of the pile. Rotation means longer wear. Glass lustra To make ashtrays gleam with an attractive well-scrubbed look, wash them now and then in lukewarm all-pure, extra-soapy suds, to which a few drops of handy ammonia have been added; then rub them dry with tissue paper. This method is perfect for shining glass cigarette boxes, mirrors, table tops, etc. And tissue paper, or even humble newspaper, is wonderful for shining window panes. Another tip—glass decanters and other such glass utensils of the hard-to-clean variety will become crystal clear and sparkle brightly if you shake a small piece of freshly- cut lemon and a little water, around in the container. Linoleum for kitchen table Does the oilcloth on your kitchen or work table wear out so fre­ quently that it’s almost becoming a luxury. Next time you’re recover­ ing a table of this kind, recover it with a light-colored linoleum, cut exacty to fit the working surface. Glue it down fiat Linoleum cleans like magic with a slight swish of a dishcloth dipped in soap-rich “grease dissolving suds.” It will not strain, ripple, peel or fade the way oil­ cloth does, it wears for years, and it gives a smart, modernistic touch to a kitchen. DORCHESTERThe annual wardens' banquet washeld Thursday evening tn Dorches­ter Town Hall with about 85 inattendance. Chaa, Rath, newly elect­ed reeve of Dorchester, welcomedthe guests.

Fruit cookies, ■ the plum . puddings and mincemeat require several* days to mellow and develop that rich blending of flav­ ours so desirable. They will' be leas heavily fruited and lack the richness of other years because of the scar­ city of some of the- ingredients. However, make a perfect dessert, neither soggy nor dry, and the fam­ ily will be cheerful. Preparations for steam puddings maybe accomplished in easy stages. Wash rasins and drain thoroughly; shred peel and chop suet when you have a few* leisure moments in the evening. When ready to mix, use about 1-2 cup of the sifted measured flour to dredge the fruit. Combine measured ingredients together. Mix and pour into well greased moulds. Cover with two layers of wax paper. Tie securely with a string. Inciden­ tally, if you put puddings in several small moulds they will require less time to cook. We prefer to steam the puddings. However, if your steamer has worn out, you may improvise one by putting moulds in a covered roast pan with the rack in place in lower part of oven with bottom ele­ ment on High—indicator at 400, or place on top element and keep boil­ ing. Do not lift the lid during the ■first 2 hours. If the lid is tigdit-fitting it will not be necessary' to replenish with water—if water has to be add- ■ ed, use hot * water so that steaming | continues without interruption.

A Montreal rabbi joined his son and his three brothers in the ser­ vices to become the second full- time Jewish chaplain in the R.C.A~F. and the fifth rabbi on active service in Canada. He is Rabbi Julius Ber­ ger, Ottawa born, rabbi of the Shaare JEion Congregation of Mon­ treal for the last sixteen years. His son, P/0. Monty Berger, graduate of the Columbia University School of Journalism and former acting city editor of the Quebec Chronical- Telegraph is with the R.C.A.F. over­ seas. He served for 18 months in the ranks as a radio mechanic before he was commissioned into the Intel­ ligence Branch of the Air Force. Rabbi Berger has three brothers in the-services, Flt/Lieut.

Moreover, another report has also in­ dicated that the acting ganenil man­ ager, Dr. Augustin Frigon, has re­ vealed that the Canadian Broadcast­ ing Corporation .will make some real great progress in its services in the coming year, with three networks operating after January 1, 1944, namely, the Trans-Canada, the Do­ minion, and the French network. He also stated that the powerful shart wave transmitter of the C.B.C., at Sackville, N-B,. will broadcast in six directions when it will operate, with its most powerful transmission being directed towards Britain and Europe. Anyone, who has visited the Up­ per Chamber in Ottawa, would re­ call that large pictures of outstand­ ing scenes of World War J covered the walls of Canada’s Senate. These scenes often attracted much atten­ tion and proved extremely popular with visitors, especially veterans of the World War I. In fact, these pic­ tures usually revived many memories amongst veterans and these were not only popular but liked by Sen­ ators themselves. However now these old, interesting pictures have been taken down and removed to other quarters, being replaced by the pic­ tures of the various individuals who have been Speakers.—(Reproduct­ ion Prohibited.) READY FOR ANY EVENTUALITY Judging by the steadily increas­ ing activities of the Liberal, Pro­ gressive-Conservative and C.C.F. or­ ganizations in the nation’s capital at the present time, the,impression is given that preparations are being made quickly for a fighting session in January or for any sudden eventual­ ity which may lead to?a general elec-. tion that may come much sooner than it is admitted or reported, if circumstances should warrant such an appeal to the people of this coun­ try. At least, the political parties arc completing their organizations in the capital and th* headquarters of these parties are almost ready now for any such occurrence so that much warning or much time will not be necessary * to carry out their operation* from their central quarters. Then again, while there have been assertions by high politi­ cal personalities of the party in power, including Senator. Wishart Robertson, head of the Liberal Fed­ eration, that *. general election may not come until the end of'the war, yet at the same time stalwarts of this party or their political forces have been pecularily active and clearly have been carrying on intense political activities on a widespread scale, in part at least, throughout the country, such as Hon- T. A. Crerar. in Manitoba, Hon. James Gardiner in Saskatchewan and Hon. J. L. Ilsley in Nora Scotia. MORE CHANGES ARE COMING Nofrwith-landing »me of the changes which have already token place in the Canadian Broadcasting I Corporation, yet • report has been circulating behind the scenes on Par­ liament Hill that other even important changes may be Private Andrew CassidL R.C.A.S.
