The young folks of Ebenezer presented their play 'A pair of Country Kids' in Kendal Orange Hall under the auspices of Ken- dal W. II. last Wed. evening. It was well given, proved very mîrth-provoking and was greatly en.îoyed as were the fine quar- tette selections between acts. The W. I. met recently at the home of Mrs. T. Hilditch and quilted a quilt for the I.O.D.E. The ladies enjoyed the tasty lunch served by Mrs. Hilditch. Another top is to be quiited soon: The regular meeting of the W. I. will be cancelled this month thought that Mr. Wade's orchestra specialized in square dance music only but they soon demonstrated their versatility by playing both square and round to perfection. Highlight of the evening was a mystery affair. Foliowing seven- ai presentations, a young lady whose name was announced laten as Miss Eunice Leask, 14-year- old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gor- don Leask, Taunton, was brought to the platform. She was taken completely by surprise as were most of the guests. It appeared that Mrs. Frank Taylor, Oshawa, and Mrs. John James, Bowman- ville, ably assisted by Dr. Brown- lee, Oshawa, had spent most of the evening pickîng out the most attractive single girl present. Miss Leask had been their unanimous choice. She was presented with a beautiful chest of silver and a banner whîch read "Miss Darling- ton." Additional presentations in- cluded one by the vice-president of Darlington Football League, Harry Davey, Orono, who present- ed the group leaders, Courtice football team, with a new foot- ball and congratulated them on their fine showing throughout the campaign. Maurice Breslin, Bowmanville, presented the Hampton squad with his new, attractive trophy which will be for annual compe- tition until one teamn wins it three years in succession when the tro- phy will be retained. The winner of a spot dance and the prize, a pair of nylon hose, was Mrs. Sid Murdoch, Bowman- ville. During his introductory remarks as master of ceremon1ies, Mr. Bob MacIntyre, advertising manager of General Motors of Canada Ltd., paid tribute to Mr. Nichols for the community spirit which had sponsored such an event. Mr. Ni- chois, has always been interested in the aiffairs of his community, Mr. Maclntyre continued, and one of the best examples was that of ail the General Motors cars sold by Mr. Nichols this year, over 90 per cent had been delivered to people in this area and had not gone to city customers. He as- sured those present that General Motors were turning out new cars as fast as they could and were continuing their policy of making their products dependable. In conclusion, he called upon Mr. and Mrs. Nichols to come to the piatform where they were received and warmly thanked for their kindness and generosity by Jack Reynolds, secretary of Dar- lington Football League. Mrs. Gordon Wilbur presented Mrs. Sflchols with an exquîsite bouquet of 'mums. Both host and hostess replied fittingly, stating that they hoped that this would be an annual event. It was quite apparent to the wniter and to the other guests hat this happy couple were en- oying themselves as much or more than anyone present. They had spent the early part of the evening meeting many whom they knew and could caîl friends. They also made many more friends duning the evening. due to the meeting in Orono Wed.
