Four more days to contribute to the Fund, © The appeal goes out with more interest. Hundreds are behind this annual appeal and yet many are seemingly indifferent to the good cause which stands for relief of bur- dens, if only for one day. H the Appeal You r-ust give.

Hundreds of children, half clothed, half starved, through absolute want, reach towards you with outstretched arms beseeching you to give only a small portion of your Christmas money to them. They have a right to:a little cheer at this glorious time ofthe year. You admit that. Then help them to acquire it. It is your it, and every cent counts. Let- t come into' the Committee with as fawmch as twenty-five cents. The ks of the committee goes out to that individual who sent in that con- t jon. Will it be twenty-five chiits or twenty-five dollars? Give anything, and do it now. It is a cause that is city-wide and Ft Men in positions more respon sible than u presidency are interested in this cause, A letter from W, E, Sinclair, K.C, Liberal leader, and member for this constituency, has been received, and bears best wishes for the work of such an organization.

RUSH AT POST OFFICE The annual Christmas rush has started at the local post office, Hun- dreds of parcels and letters are ar- riving for checking and distribution at this centre of interest, With the extra help engaged as customary, each year, working hours . are lengthened out and crammed full of labor as the days rapidly pass. A few reminders whi will leua an aid towards t| re rapid dis- taipution of arcels - and mail thr the city were given out at the post office this morning, One of the most prominent of these is the desire of mail carriers to have verandah lights, where possible, left on during the early hours of darkness. This enables the car- ries to obtain their bearings on the streets with relation to finding the house numbers, and consequently the correct addresses for the nrail. EXHIBITION OF ART The exhibition of paintings by George Chavignaud, Canadian art- ist, will continue tonight and to- morrow at the Commercial Hotel. This is the last chance for Osha- wans to view this notable collection of original works of art, as Mr. Chavignaud is leaving the ehvy early Saturday. The exhibition is creating considerable interest among lovers of art in Oshawa, GREETINGS BY WIRE The Canadian Pacific Telegraphs have very pretty Christmas blanks for conveying the season's greetings by wire. The telegraph blank and envelope are in green, red and white on a background of blue, with holly generously distributed; and the words, "Season's Greetings, 1928-1929." The blank has two globes through which the wires pass, intimating that greetings may be carried from Oshawa to any part of the globe. PURCHASE PAINTINGS Two paintings by George Chavig- naud, noted Canadian artist, have been purchased by the school board Money 8 per cent. and the students of the Oshawa Collegiate. The painting, '"Moon- light Knocke Sur Mer, Belgium," was purchased by the board for the Collegiate, and "Village of Bay St. Paul" was secured by. the students themselves. These paintings will adorn the walls at the Collegiate and be a nucleus of an art collec- tion, COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES Commencement exercises at the Oshawa Collegiate Institute are being held this afternoon with a celebration by the students this evening when a dance .and a pro- gram will be given, Professor J. PF, McDonald of University of To- ronto and formerly of Queen's Uni- versity is the guest speaker at this afternoon's session at the Collegi- ate, The exercises are being held from two until four o'clock, FAIR AND COLDER The Weatherman promises fair and colder weather on Friday with fresh northwesterly winds, follow- ing - some snow flurries tonight. Pressure is high in the West, where the weather has been quite cold, with sub-zero temperatures record- ed, It is beloming milder in the Western provinces and milder wea- ther will probably prevail in this district around the week-end ana at Christmas, KIWANIAN GREETINGS Kiwanian Tom Muffett of the at- tendance committee of the Kiwanis Club, struck upon a happy idea to bring the Friday meeting strongly before the members. A dainty Christmas box was addressed to the members, which had every ap- pearance of containihg a watch, a aiamond ring or some jewel of price, which when opened greeted the recipient with "A Merry Christ- mas" and a plea to attend the Fri- day meeting when nomination of of- ficers will take place. FRIENDLY ELM FALLS .... .. . A gigantic elm tree, one of the mightiest in the city is being felled on King street west, east of the new Collis bullding. It is proving by no means an easy task and the asgistance of experts is required. The tree is well over 50 feet in height and before felling the huge trunk, the branches must first be loped off. This is ticklish work and it is Interesting to note that more than a cord of wood has been secured from the smaller branches alone. Many will miss the welcome shade of the big tree which has grown with the growth of the city and was young when King street was but a mud road straggling through a small village of frame and log dwellings, ° Shop-lined Streets a Vast Art Gallery Full Never Were Oshawa Stores So Gay Before and Never So Artistic -- Grocers' Windows in Riot of Color Vie With Stores Where Milady's Wares Are Dis- played in Charming Hues --"Top o' the Season" Finds Oshawa Merchants With Great Variety ' of Beautiful Things to Suit Every Whim and Every Purse This is the "top o' the season"-- Oshawans are out in force in real Christmas weather, shopping, shop- ping, shopping. And Oshawa stores are "comfy" places and full of secasonable gifts, Never were shop windows ever so gay before. Never were Oshawa stores so ar- tistic, Even the material contents of the grocer's windows have been made up in pictures--some in conventional design--triangles of reddy-brown sul- tanas ,and diamonds that are half dark-hued Currants and fawn color- ed nuts, There are pyramids of golden grape fruit and the sober green that is held by olives--squares of rosy apples and borderings of the pale yellow that is lent by lemons to the color scheme. Clusters of grapes of Eshcol hang from twists of silver wire and here and there a dash of vividness and daring, the bright red of the cracker that adds such a note of hilarity to the Christmas dinner, Holly hangs from the corners of the windows and the light green of lettuce, the bright red of radishes and cranberries, and the tasteful dis- play oi figs and dates, present a scene that makes the passer-by pause and admire, Vast Art Gallery The shop-lined streets today are a vast art gallery with their paintings in a note of abandonment of color that ought to satisfy the most lay- of Seasonable Gifts 1 of the "groun of seven" colors ists, Fancy scarves for men and.wos men, pyjamas in many designs, sweaters in myriad hues, dainty. line girie in every color. Jewels in rings, brooches, watches, bracelets, Toys by animals, dolls, Wonderful stores are the Oshawa stores these days. Oshawans will be gayer people by and by thanks to the men and women who deck the windows with beautiful things. We may feel in our find the cash supply "low" or "high" or "not at all," but we cannot look on the sunset "glories that are crams med into the windows of the Oshe awa stores without being brighter for the sight. Certainly we long.
