In one corner of the beauitfully decorated room a Christmas Tree gay with lights and glittering with tinsel was "For Parents Only", A wee Santa .Claus distributed the gifts to the elders, among them Mayor R, D. Preston, Dr, F, I. Rundle and other citizens whose children attend the kindergarten presided over hy Miss Greta THis, A Christmas Tree for parents was but one of the novel ideas worked out, Miss Ellis' pupils also demonstrated how the lesson of M'Safety First can he taught in the kindergarten, The floor of the playroom has a design of two Intersecting streets in gay red paint, In the center. of this miniature "Four Corners" a five year old laddie was stationed, From his sturdy shoulders a hox affair was sus- pended, Two sides were In green with the letters "Go in gold; the other two sides were red with sim- {liar golden letters "Stop", The children themselves he- came automobiles and pedestrians and were shown how to obey the traffic signals and to preserve their little lives, The rqom was very gay for the occasion. Santa Clans cut outs were at every window; the hlackboards had charming Christmassy scenes pictured on them in colored chalk, and the effect, was. heightened by trailing festoons of holly, There was much interest, too, In the "Christmas Village" which takes the place for this week of the ordinary sand pile. Snow sprinkled with silver is spaced about with happy houses; a village church, street Jamps, happy village folk, and a fommunity Christmas Tree. The program began with a little prayer and then a salute to the flag while the little voices lisped "God Save the King". After that there were fairy stor- fes to be told and acted; little dances, races, and a wonderful lit. tle play in which two lads har- nessed with jingling sleigh bells carried his playmates for an ad- venturous ride across many miles of imaginary snow, The Christmas program was en- joyed by the parents who warmly congratulated Miss Ellis on the ef- fectiveness of her work. Supervising Principal Cannon of the Public Schools and Principal Jacklin of Centre Street School were amongst the guests, time. I hope that he will not erit- fcize me for saying it, but I believe that A. W,. Bell, trafic manager of General Motors, will bear out at least part of what I say in this regard. The zone matter which concerns is, in brief, the fact that we are not in that zone which stops some- where near the eastern limits of the city of Toronto. : "Transportation is a matter which should engage the attention of . the whole city, "There is, alse the harbor, The water freight ways is of deep con- corn to us.

"Finally, I give you the goal for thisw ork. We should have 500 members, no less. Belleville, 2 town of 13,000, has 300 members. We can 'have 500 by getting every business and professions! man in property owner. expect no miracles other than the creation of community spirit which, , fs our greatest need.

To judge by expressed opinion, public interest with regard to those nominations and. the election to follow on January 2, was never at a lower ebb. The situation, in part, is due the fact that the City Council of Osh- awa is 100 large in point of numbers and that elections, for busy men, follow each other with too great rapidity. ; For such men, a year is all too short for his own interests, and to be called upon to attend end- less committee and Council sessions, both of the regular sort and those called to deal with special emergen- cies, is te impose a burden which men of the type that the city most needs hesitate to shoulder. But there can be no evading the bodies in 1928 is exceedingly import- ant to Oshawa. This applies to all, but particularly so to the City Coun- cil. It is understood that all the Election Interest trustees of the Board of Education, whose : terms expire this year, are standing for re-election. Subject .to public approval, the Board's problem scems to be solved. n On the City Council, however, there is evidence of weariness] amongst the men whose abilities automatically make them leaders. They announce their retirement: and the community must soon decide the matter of their successors. : Oshawa needs wise leadership at all times, and it will stand in parti- cular need of it during the ¢oming year, Soe Nomination day, which falls on Friday, should be considered not only as a day on which to express muni- cipal compliments but as a challenge to service. Much is made of that * word "Service" in these years, and the world is better for it. - But there is no service that doesn't involve some sort of sacrifice. Oshawa stands in need of men who are prepared to make sacrifiers in her service next year. Will the appeal fall'on heed- less ears?

In all, the service was a marked success, and every I of the audi mentally joined with the pastor, Rev, D. 8. Dougall, when he turned to the choir and their choirmaster and or- ganist, J. H.
