A - well-known former big-time hockey player and coach, Smokey Harris, of New Hamburg, is being interviewed for the post, it was re­vealed at a meeting of directors of the Community Centre. Chairman Gordon Pitiock, president of the Centre, says the ice is booked solid now until Feb. 11. It is planned to have public school skating three days a week, and public skating ■with music two nights' a week, with the rest devoted to hockey. The question of skating on Sunday has yet to be de­ cided, but Mr. Pittock pointed out it was being done else­where, with premium rates being paid. Progress at the arena has slowed a bit, according to Lew Martin. All piping was not yet tested and until that was done, the crushed stone could not be shovelled in around the pipes before freezing. Ross Fewster said thfi big thing was to ’make sure the kiddies got all the skating they wanted. Dr. M. E. Jarrett estimated operating cost would be around $50 daily. Jim Ruddick felt costs fhight be reduced by members acting as attendants from time to time. He suggested Oscar Judd as arena manager, but Mr. Pittock suggested someone with hockey experience was needed. Mr. Pittock said it was hoped that by 1954 Ingersoll would have a new Memorial Arena, to which, he said the government would contribute around $15,000. The ice plant just bought would be 90 per cent salvageable, it was estim­ ated. The question of a program for opening the artificial ice is to be discussed. The 18 new members of the Community Ceptre director­ate, elected by ballot at the meeting Dec. 15, are: Sam Wads­ worth, Car] B. Heeney, James Ruddick, Jack Douglas, Ross Fewster, Albert Quait, Tommy Lee, Ken Ford, Abe Jewett, George Nagle, Jim Laarz, Cam. Bailey, A. E. Izzard, Buzz Fick, George Lockhart, Jimmy Robbins, Warwick Marshall, Roy Odell. Kiwanis Donates $500 To Rink Despite Protests Despite objections of Geo. Mason, the Ingersoll Kiwanis voted $500 to­ward the artificial ice project at their meeting Thursday. The elub also approved donation of $1600 to the new Alexandra hospital for a new operating table. That was unanimous.Guests were Candy Carroll of CKOX and Ernie Hunter, president of the Danforth Lions Club.President Walter Thurtell said the hospital board had suggested the best gift the Kiwanis could make would be the operating table. It will carry a plate stating it is a gift of the Kiwanis.L. A. Westcott said he had no ob­jection to the $500 donation for the ice, but he wondered if it wasn't just a bit outside the field as far as the Kiwanis activities were concerned. "I just wonder if, in' four or five years, when we’re harder up for money for the things we have to do, if we .won't be criticized for doing thia in a moment of enthusiasm of Christ­mas spirit.""Our money has been collected for crippled children's work," said Mr. Mason. “I believe in helping those who can’t help themselves. I think we're going a bit too far. I hear they are over subscribed now, so why are we giving them more?" “Our money is for welfare work— not specifically crippled children’s work,” noted R. S Foster.“Do you consider skating, hockey anj games welfare work?" per­sisted Mr. Mason."That’s child welfare," felt Grant Small.“We've spent plenty on child’wel­fare that was not necessarily crip­ pled children's work," Walt Thur­tell noted, Those Sickle Boys Are At It Again Those Ingersoll "quints” are still causing excitement down in the good old U.S.A. Here’s the latest letter to The Tri­bune asking, for more information. From a big Chicago public relations firm, and signed by W. R. Moore, account executive, it reads:"Dear Mr. Lee: “We read with interest the report in a recent issue of Collier's Maga­zine the item which disclosed that Mr. and Mrs. Luke Sickle who live on a farm near Ingersoll are the parents of five boys named Peter, Pepe, Peck, Pickle and Pepper."We wish to know if possible the circumstances which occasioned., the naming of these Sickle boys.“Also, would it be possible to obtain a photograph of the five babies with their parents." There Certainly Is A Santa Claus! Here’s one young man who obviously doesn’t take too seriously those stories being told by some of his pals that there isn’t a Santa Claus. There’s no doubt in his mind at .tall about, who that cheery, red-faced gentle- 'Iman is. He’s Santa—and what's more he’s Betty Crawford I Gets More Honors Real honor has been done Miss Betty Crawford, Ingersoll’s librarian. ’ She has been granted a certificate I of librarianship by the department of education as a result of her work . in. connection with the Oxford County library, of which she is secretary. Us- . ually, such a certificate is granted (only after taking a special librarian’s course at the University of Toronto, , but it can be given for exceptional . library work outside the librarian’s own library. Her certificate is cffec- t tive Nov. 1, and makes Ingersoll lib­rary eligible to higher grants. . . It's a grand tlhristmas present,” • said Miss Crawford, who is also a - painter of note. Sam Wadsworth said he didn't think it really mattered if the Ki­wanis voted the $600, because the fund was oVer Die top anyway "and if we had kept on going another week we could have got $35,000.” ”1 must take off my hat to the people of Ing­ersoll and area," he said, “because nowhere, ever before, has so much money been raised in so short a time for such a cause.”"Anything to help make better boys and girls can be considered within our scope,” declared A. E. Izzard. “If we define child welfare too closely, a lot of our projects would be out of order " New Highway to Skip Ingersoll, Is Feeling Any new dual high-speed highway between Toronto and Windsor will skip Ingersoll proper by at leaat several mile*. rThat is the impression gathered here following a confer-- ence of delegates from Ingeraoll, Woodstock, Chatham, Wind­sor and London, at London, at which it was decided to inter- - view Hon. George H. Doucett, minister of highways, on what the government planned to dc^to improve or replace the pres- going to bring him that train set he just asked for, so there. Seeing a radiant face like this youngster’s when he meets the old gent makes you fee! that perhaps the whole thing's worthwhile after all, doesn’t it? Around The Town Something new and different in warning signs was seen on a truck here recently. On the rear, left side was the sign “PASSIDE”—on the opposite, a sign, ’’SUISIDE.” Bob Jewett, who has been in hos­ pital with polio for the past four months, is going to be home for Christmas. Ingersoll seems to be getting wilder every hour. Students at I.C.l. looked out the window the other day to see 11 pheasants. ‘NEW HOUSING SITE’ BRINGS A CHUCKLE A snapshot sent in annonymously, and bearing the following notation, brought a chuckle from council Mon­ "Ingersoll, Ont.

Mr. Stewart, । head of the telephone system here, t said his increased work made it im­possible to continue in the post in which it had been "a privilege and an honor" to serve. At one Itime the Kiwanis’ "Bucket of Blood" were unchallenged in their own right as amateur entertainment put on by members of a service club. 1 Just lately, however, new ones have j been springing up from other clubs. : At their ladies’ night the Y’s Men’s < club eame up with their quartette of । Dave Campbell, Bill Elliott, Dave j Butler and Ross Hurst.

(Did you hear, Mr. Heidt?) , for crippled children’s work. fOne of the big criticisms I’ve heard is that we're hoarding money,” commented My. Thurtell. “The Community Centra Is not a welfare onranizatian,” protested Mr. Mason. “You go down, you pay your way. in. The sole object of the com­pany is to pay dividends.” “It Is not,” objected Dr. M. E Jarrett. “It is a non-profitable or­ ganteatian, and there will never be dividends. The only dividends we hope for are in child and community wel­ fare.”T. R. Lee moved that the $500 be donated outright Llyle Wilson aec- ended it, and the vote carried. read, "that our streets would present a much neater and cleaner appear­ance if trash cans were placed in strategic positions. Our members would be most wilting to do what they could to further the work to 'Keep Ingersoll Clean* ” She added it was hoped council would continue the good work in repairing sidewalks. Lion Leigh Snider, pinch-hitting for tail-twister Herb Baker at the Lions' meeting Monday night, ran into a difficulty whilst collecting the fines. Someone stole the fine box. The question is, who to fine, should Leigh bo fined for losing it, who’s going to fine him, and what with?

Murray and Councillor Fred Worker represented IngersoH at the conference, organized by Windsor, and town council Monday night decided that Mr. Wurker would henceforth represent the town at future meetings in connection with the proposed new highway. Council appointed Mr. Wor­ker after City Clerk C. V. Waters, of Windsor, wrote meeting with Mr. Doucett in Toronto “early in January’’^ W»a \' being sought, and would Ingers©!) -please appoint its delegate. The delegation will include representatives from the cities of Windsor, Chatham, London, Brantford and Woodstock, and the towns of Ingersoll and Paris—The most important / centres on the western section of No. 2 highway. The meeting . r with Mr. Doucett is to ascertain what the government pro- 9 poses to do in the way of building a new highway to relieve present conditions, and how the municipalities can assist to speed the project on its wayMr. Wurker, mentioning that several people had asked him what about this new highway, and stating he felt he /. should state alt he knew about it so there would be no cause for needless alarm, said so far as he knew no definite plans - for a new highway had been drawn up. The meeting with Queen's Park officials was an effort to determine if anything - was planned. At the London meeting, the chairman. Controller Gordon S B. Ellis, of Windsor, suggested it might help the government * if the deputation could say there was no objection to the dual '' highway- skirting the larger centres en route. While all delegates did not favor this, all apparently felt any new high­way would do exactly thaL—skip the bigger cities. All modern highway programing—in Ontario, too—does try to keep the highways away from big centres. The new highway_east of Toronto, for example, skips Oshawa almost entirely; the new highway to the north by-passes Barrie, and highway north of Orillia passes just outside Gravenhurst. There is no question, it iSMrelt, but what any new highway I 'through Western Ontario to Windsor, would by-pass Wood- stock, Ingersoll and even London. In Ingersoll’s case, some feel, it would be a blessing. Present highway traffic through ‘ Ingersoll contributes .little to Ingersoll but headaches and ter­ rific wear and tear op the main streets for which the citizens . get no recompense. The town is spending thousands annually to maintain streets for through truck traffic. The new highway, it is believed, would pass by even further out than the Governor’s road. Tuesday a Holiday New Hydro Unit Is Mayor’s Decree To Be Erected Tuesday, Dee. 27 “Boxing Day”, has been proclaimed a holiday by Dr. J. G. Murray following a resolution to that effect passed by town council Monday night. Members of the Kiwanis Club played hosts at a Christmas party for the New Canadians last night at the Collegiate, the citizenship committee headed by Preston T, Walker being in charge.The thirty-odd arrivals in Canada who have been attending the New Canadian classes each week started their classes in the usual way but things soon swung into the party spirit as the Kiwanis "Bucket of Blood’’ gave voice in their own in­ imitable way.Everyone joined in carol singing and the New Canadians sang carols in their own language, including । Estonian, Dutch and Italian. Re­ freshments were served and moving pictures were shown. At the close the Kiwanians were given a hearty vote of thanks for their party by their guests. Gifts were distributed to the children. Find Piece of Town Under Miller’s A bit of an oversight was cleared up by town council Monday night when it yielded all interest-in a piece of land, blanks tted by John Miller's garae^* Charles St E. The “over- sighv' was discovered during title searches in connection with pending sale of the property by Franklin Keatle to Miller.Town solicitor, Warwick Marshall explained it this way:In 1852, the village of Ingersoll bought a piece of property 60 feet wide on Charles St by 80 feet deep, from Thomas Ingersoll and there built a jail. In 1001 having no use for a jail, the town sold the property to James P. Boles. But for some un­known reason, only 54 feet, six inches was sold, instead of the 60 feet, and Ingersoll's moat travelled bicycle 1B home again—after 11 years. Doug ■■■ Flyer Wrecks Stalled Auto Dorchester — Stalled on the C.N.R. tracks, a car owned by Edward White of Dorchester, was struck' and demo- liihcd by the mainline Windsor-Tor­onto passenger flyer. White alone in the car when-it stalled, had gone to a near-by house to get assistance to push it from the tracks. He and 8 , McDonald were about 20 ft. from Hie tracks on their way back to thee car when it was struck. The 1939 model car was car­ried about 300 yardg down the tracks, White said, and the train wag held up 60 minutes before continuing its trip."The train was about two miles down the tracks when the car stalled,” White said, "and I thought there was lots of time to get help and push it off.” Donate Some Food To Fill Hampers The Salvation Army, under the leadership of CapL Bernard Acton, is making a determined effort to en­sure that no Ingersoll family goes without a Christmas. Hampers of toys, clothing and food are be:-.? prepared for quite a few families, and Capt- Aeton would be more grateful for gifts of toys, clothing or food—AND MOSTLY FOOD— toward their Christmas project. There are only three days to go, so if you’d like to help someone have a better Christmas, contact Captain Acton and ask him what he could use most. ncrty. Council’s vote handed it over to Resile with ho string’s attached. West of Borden’S Ingersoll's new hydro sub-statioit is going to be just west of Borden’s, on the Hamilton road.One hundred and twenty feet of the westerly portion of the Borden company property has been bought for the new station, E. A. Washburn, Public Utilities Commission manager, told The Tribune. It extends back to the C.P.R. line. Mr, Washburn said he exoeets work • on the new station, designed to take care of on expanding Inger­soll, and also prepare the way for cycle conversion here, will begin thia spring or early summer.

Though the struggle to batter laat year's safety record cannot now be won, there is still, with the sharp improvement shown in October and Novem­ ber records, a chance to keep the provincial death total for 1949 below that of 1941. despite the huge increase in traffic- In October, six fewer Uvea were • lost than last October, and November deaths were । cut from 93 to «8, a saving of 25 lives. If safer driving in December keeps the month’s deaths down to less than 60, a record breaking year of tragedy will be avoided.Warning that the year-end holiday season may upset the recent trend toward fewer fatal accidents, officials are urging all motorists to cut down speeds when driving In the dark or on slippery pavements. They warn too of the sharp increase in hazards as last-minute Christmas shoppers jam the streets. They ask particularly that parents keep children away from traffic dangers in the holiday season.

A gentleman brought in an auction notice the other day. He had heard quite a bit about The Tribune in recent weeks, he said, and he wanted to see what we could do with an auction notice for him. Well, we did it all right. According to us, the auction was scheduled for DECEMBER 30, 1940. It would have not been too bad had the 30th been correct, because 1940 obviously was wrong by the odd year or so, and it could have been a printer's slip (and it was). But unfortunately the 30 should have been a 20, so we couldn't have been much more wrong in one line. We suggested that perhaps we could atone by placing a correction ad in a certain other newspaper, and he said, no thanks. We offered to give him his money back, but he said no thanks, give it to charity. So we have. There’s that ill-wind again. Mra. Ed. Washburn and Mra. C. A.

Their pastors will read the story of the first Christmas from the Bible, and they will present in their sermons thoughts about that Bethlehem scene in relation to this Christmas of 1949. Congregations will sing the lovely Christmas hymns and the organists and the members of the choirs will render selections to add to the impressive beauty of the Christmas services. Christmas is a time when there is no urging required on the part of the pastor and the officials of the church for a large congregation. It is a tradi­ tion that the celebration of Christmas is not com­ plete' without the family attendance at church. The loveliness of the Christmas season is em­ bodied in the fact that its real enjoyment come from within the family circle and in the church. If it were not for the church, wc would not have Christ­ mas. It has been brought down to us from almost 2,000 years ago by a living church. Christmas is a good time for us to think of the worth of the church in our community. We treasure the beauty of the Christmas season which if pre­ serves for us, but unconciously we overlook the many things which are important to our way of living that had their Origin also in the church and things which it is constantly doing to make our community a better place in which to live. The churches of Ingersoll and. district invite all to enjoy their Christmas services>Whethcr or not one has a church home should not cause one to hesitate to attend church on Christmas Sunday. In our community there are churches of many denomin-, ations, and one can attend the church of one’s choice. Ingersoll is well served by 4tS/clergymen. They arc able leaders of their congregations.. Too often we do not appreciate as fully as wc should just how much work these men do. They prepare anddeliver sermons, conduct weddings, visit the sick, give spiritual counsel to those who visit them in trouble * and they bury the dead. The'clergymen givq leader­ ship to the many organizations within their chur­ ches, and they also take an active part in the work of their Sunday Schools. Today the clergymen are serving as padres to the industrial and business world. We see the clcrgynM of our town in the business places and on the side­ walks chatting with people, and the people, whether or not they are members of their congregations, appear to enjoy having thip companionship with them. The clergymen are helping to meet a need for the church through the week in a way that is appre­ ciated. The clergyman is always quick to commend people who have earned praise, but many of uB are back­ ward m giving him encouragement in his work. One of the best waya to show him the encouragement we would like to expres* is to attend the services on Christmas Sunday and ewtry Sunday throughout' the year that we can. We hope there will be large congregations in all the churches of the town and district on Sunday.

Can death losses from street and highway’acci­ dents be kept down to leas than two per day? That Is the big question. The afiswer is in the hands of Ontario's 1^50,OM drivers and everyone who walks. Back tn 1941, the worst year for fata] accidents, killed the appalling total of 801 children and Fortunately that toll has never been equal- \ye know one little gaffer in town who is going to get a mouse trap (surprise) in big stocking this Sunday. Santa told us personally the other night after a visit he made to the St. James’ Anglican church. Santa had plenty of trouble getting there as it was. There was hardly a speck of snow on the streets and he nearly wore out eight seta of reindeer shoes enroute. And before that he was held up twenty minutes at the C.N.R. crossing while a bit of switching went on. But, anyway, he was telling us, he roared into the parish hall right on the nose and started dishing out candies and prizes with great gusto. He didn’t mind it so much when some disrespectful youngster came up, poked him in the tummy like a bowlful of you-know-what, and sneered "yah — that’s no real tummy — that’s a pillow." No, he didn’t mind that so much. But, then, when he hurried back to board hia aled and head for cooler climes, some little vagrant gave him a swift kick in the seat. Santa is a kindly, tolerant gent through and through, but that blow to hia dignity he did not like, and, as we said, ha^wears he'll have a mousetrap in that little blighter’s sock. An important change in policy has been hinted by the Woodstock Sentinel-Review. An advertisement in that paper Monday indicated that henceforth it ■would publish 365 days a year — the’ first news­ paper in this country to do so. We assume this is the first development since recent installation of new equipment. Vale "Good King Wenceslas looked out On the feast of Stephen . .But his spirit will be sad in his native Bohemia as the Christmas season comes to us once again. These many hundreds of years the “Good King’s” name has belonged, to it. We, who live far from Prague where his mortal remains were laid at the Church of St. Vitus, sing of him in our Christmas carols. When we think of Wenceslas we think of Christmas trees, brave in their lights and tinsel. We think of a turkey in the oven, of gifts and greetings adorning the home, of excited children's voices, and we have a sudden welling of good-will toward our fellow men. In the land of Wenceslas these things are not to be. Copying Russia’s example in Eastern Ger­ many, the Communist cabinet of Czechoslovakia has turned thumbs-down on Christmas greetings. It orders government employees not to send them and “recommends” that the public also abstain. And so, decreed into official oblivion, the spirit of the martyred Wenceslas will be sad in Bohemia, whose saint and patron he was. (Globe and Mail) Christman Fire Hazard Christmas will soon be upon us. Every year the season brings great jay to most families, and is one to be long remembered. But each year there seems to be the ever-recurring crop of accidents and deaths, most of .them so unnecessary.The Christmas tree with its brilliant lights is a traditional part of the day, one we would not want to discourage. However, that tree is a potential fire hazard, and one which can snuff out young lives in an instant, and turn festivity into mourning. It is’ possible to flame-proof our Christmas trees so that while they may still bum, they will do so very slowly, and thus give time to do something about the danger before it takes charge and makes it impossible for us to do anything.Then our trees should be so placed that they will hot fall across a doorway or other means of escape. It we must use lights we should be sure they are electric lights, and that the wiring is not worn. We should not place combustible paper near these lights,' and if, perchance, we still do some of these things, the least we should do is have a fire extinguisher or pails of water in easily accessible places.Let us do everything possible to see that Christ­mas in our homes will be a safe end happy one.(Simcoe Reformer) Town Killers In a recent issue of The Fort Erie Times-Revisw there appears n little list under the unusual title, "People Who Kill Towns," remarks The Barrie Examiner.We think the list is sufficiently interesting to be reprinted .... without suggesting in any way that our town is so fortunate as to have as citizens any people who come under the categories named. Here, then, are "People Who Kill Towns”: Those who oppose improvements.Those who distrust public-spirited men.Those who show no hospitality to anyone. Those who hate to see others make money.Those who oppose every improvement that does not originate with themselves.Those who use a hammer but nails.

One foundry alone in London has made bells for Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Union of South Africa, rai- estine. Argentine, the West Indies, Egypt, Persia, Holland Belgium and Malta. Old bells have been sent io Britain from many lands to be re- tuned according to the rediscovered formula, since improved upon. Tuning is still the most important process in bell-making.

But, for the favored ■ few who have access to a full win­ ter’s supply, no more popular fruit • exists for pies or tarts, jelly, Juices or preserves. The raising of cranberries is exact­ing work. Visit the cranberry bogs) m the Berwick and Aylesford districts. in Nova Beotia and you will learn that while there are areas of wild cranberries, most of the marketed berries a re from bogs that have been I taken over from nature. It is no sim-l pie matter to make a cranberry bog, nor to maintain it. There are prob-l lems of ditching, soil conditions, weed control, sand supplies and proximity to markets. One of the cranberry won- deni readily appreciated is the man­ner in which waste land — forgotten marshes — is changed to highly pro­ductive ground.A swamp is first leveled and dyked, patterned after the good cranberry bogs of Cape Cod and those sections of New Jersey which have produced the quality of fruit that has made people cranberry conscious. The level­ ling and dyking make it possible to flood this land for the winter season and at those times in spring and fall when frost might damage blossom or fruit. The ditches provide for rapid drainage when the need for flooding is past and assist in keeping the water table at the desired level. The sand top-dressing keeps down the weeds and prevents rapid drying out of the peat in summer. Add to the bog re­quisites — the all-important item — and adequate water supply for the Hooding operation — and you have an up-to-date bog that may repre­ sent an investment running as high . as $1,000 per acre. Yields of 40 to 50 barrels per acre are often obtained and 30 barrels per acre is fair average. Occasional yields as high as 100 barrels per acre are on record. Indeed, many bogs, when in full production, have returned in | gross sales for a single year an am­ ount equal to their entire initial coat — an achievement possible only with the utmost care. While thorough drainage is the most important step in weed control, cranberry growers are aware that poor drainage stimulates the growth ol moss, sedges, rushes, loose-strife and other water-loving plants. And, while no complete substitute for hand weeding has beqn found, it is inter­esting to note that chemical weed kil- iera are claiming a large place in mod­em bog management. Ammonium Sulphate for example, known to the trade as Ammate, while non-poisonous but destructive to most plants, inclu­ding the cranberry, is used for ditch banks and dykes, and is coming into popularity as a substitute for turfing new bogs. It is applied aa a spray at a rate to give 200 to 300 pounds Am­ mate per acre. Regarding 2,4-D, all forms of this new weed killer are fatal to cranberries.On most peat or muck bogs, the expert grower will tell you that no attention need be paid to fertilizer, but on hard-bottom bogs or those badly neglected, the use of nitrate of soda may stimulate growth. However, since little is known of the nutrition of the cranberry, the effect of ferti­lizer on a small plot should be tested before making a large outlay. aider for a profitable cranberry bog are soil, location and quality of sand, drainage and water supply. A know­ledge of weed control, fertilizers, dis­use and insect control pays handsome dividends, too. Cranberries have a future in Canada. \ (From C.I-C- Oval) “The Twelve Days of Christmas" (Arr., Austin), Traditional Mrs. Ross Hosack Christmas in Bethlehem as narrated by Jane C.

It’s all brightness and light and Christmas trees with can­ dles and holly berries—with little children dancing in a ring and every­one pretending to be a first class real fellow, and pretty nearly succeeding it a pair of braces just like the**, ! wheel and all. That broke me down . .There is no blame; all parents do» ‘ it, must do it, in such a crowded fam- iiy us ours was, with a census that went up each year ... .Give those braces away? No, sir. Give them to some poor child? No, sir. , There is no child so poor that I should wish that evil gift Upon him.

Later he did the same thing at Charlottetown, P.E.I., under the auspices of leagues there.He didn’t don the skates at the sessions. They were clpss-room affairs involving use of blackboards to illus­trate rules and the answering of Juestions. Hayes also spoke on con- uct of referees before, during and after games, with a special warning to “never hang around the rink and talk to the players or fans.”The biggest class was at Wingham where 80-85 persons listened.

Yes, I’m sure it is . . .Doesn’t it get you? Anyway I want to have my say and give my advice about it, even if it is largely made up of “don’ts”, and of warning you what not to do.First—Be very careful about that idea of starting Christmas shopping early in the year, right back in Jan­ uary or February when things are being sold off. I tried that out a year or so ago. There’s nothing in it. I went downtown in January and picked up a bird cage . . . and a pair of braces (boy’s size). I admit the things were cheap. The bird cage was only 80 cents and it was worth eight dollars. The man in the shop admit­ ted this himself. But it s been no R?°d ; sprout in need At ah excuse, to me. I know no one with a bird.. _____________People don't seem to keep birds now.

However, let it go . . .The other item was the bracer - • 60 cents and worth two dollars—suit­able for a boy of fourteen, but with a little wheel to jack them up to a boy of sixteen. Boys grow so fast.— all mothers and fathers will get the idea of that little wheel. But I want to speak about these 60 cent braces, OBITUARY MRS. HOLLY W.

A Merry Christmas to All Thurtell’s Drag Store "We Know Drug*" • Phono - SS < Santa Claus Visits “Sunshine Class” 1 Youngsters of the Y.M.C.X "Sunshine Clasii” had a pre-Christ- mas visit from Santa Claus Dec. 16, when they and their mothers got together at the “Y” for a Christmas party. Around 18 kiddies, with their mothers, played games, sang songs ■nd got gifts from Santa, whjle the class directors, Mrs. Herm. Lindsey and Helen Furlong joined in the fun. Herb popped up during the enter­tainment when he was ‘flown’ in from Embro to doctor the "Three Haga from Hsgsville”, who were pro­viding the entertainment. The three young ladle*, we understand, were Dave Stone, Aussie Fortner and W. Burton. His methods, if perhaps lac­king in results, at least provided everyone with lots of fun.Then Herb took on the serious role of guest speaker, introduced by Vic Brooks and thanked by Jim Hartnett. He told of his experiences whilst fly­ing bombers from Malta during the time of the George Croaa Island’* sei go by the German and Italian forces. It was with some surprise that Herb’s audience found that he had flow in 23 different countries dur­ ing the war.“Some people have asked me if I met Buzz Burling in Malto,” closed Herb, “I'm afraid I didn’t, because he was not there when I was. Besideo, there wasn't room for both heroes at once.” Gue«rt» during the evening were Fire Chief Dick Ellis and Charles Gurney. After the meeting ended Vic Brooks was host to the club and its guests at the Cheese Company.
