Just a month ago the lad- ies discussed whether they could afford another piano or another stove for the basement. This month both were in place due to the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. MacTaggart who gave the piano and Mr. and Mrs. Hey- wood Short. who gave the stove. We thank these people A new piano" seemed to call for a lamp so a comm- ittee was named to see about it. Another committee has been counting' dishes and has ordered enough replace- ments to keep all the dining tables going.

This - is holiday week so Bill. Wanamaker is at home to tend store. Can you blame the grocer and his wife for taking a few days away from home at the first of the week? 1 Perhaps Mr. McNeil and' Mrs. Espie didn't entertain any ill-will towards each oth- er but it didn't look that way when they bumped to- gether in Tuesday's: storm. Fortunately the only damage was to the cars. Gordie McMillan took time enough off from hockey to be S. S. supt. this week. The primary class presented a flannelgraph of John 6. 15-21 with Billy Short read- ing the 'story while others composed the picture.
