FIRST BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL ~ ENTERTAINMENT Young People Have Glor- ious Time at Annual Christ mas Function Happy hearts, bright faces, cheerful voices, songs, plays, child- ren's choruses recitals, pictures, a materialization of the mythical Santa Clau, fond parents and last, but not by any means least, a tire- less staff of devoted teachers, com. bined last evening to make the fif- ty-sixth Christmas entertainment of the First Baptist Sunday school the great success which enabled those who could recall a great many to say once again, "The best ever." . Hearts Stormed The shock troops who stormed the hearts of the appreciative audi- ence, consisted of the entire prim- ary department who were led to victory by their superintendent and staff in a program which included three choruses, two recitations, solo, duet, marching song, with hanad- some trappings and solo and chorus, as well as a few little impromptu touches here and there of the kind which seems to come natural at Christmas entertainments, and which add greatly to the enjoy- ment of the grown ups without the infliction of any suffering to the happy primaries. Youthful Artists For the rest Miss Helen Rosser and Miss Dorothy Crook deserve very great cradit for their well- spoken recitations, Masters Fen- ton, Keenan, Halls and Turner made a great success of their dia- logue which proves that it is pos- sible to be entirely formal without spoiling anything, The symboli- cal dialogue, "The Star of Bethle- hem," was a pretty conception and carried out with artless purpose which pleased and touched every- one. The Christmas song by Mr, Kilgour was happy in giving a lofty Christmas touch, while the materialization of the mythical Santa Claus, which entered the auditorp'm via the afr duct in the aisle, provided one of the finest pleces of impersonation that it is possible to imagine, The mysterious visitor baffled the wits of all to decide as to the identity, several who were in the audience throuzhout being strong favorites." The impersonator, Bert Wier, was certainly well read in the Santa Claus legend, The Cast e The main plece in the program was the play reproduced by Miss Galt's class of young ladies. entit- led "The Two Christmas Boxes," effectively exposed certain strange misconeeptions of Christian giving" in general and Christmas giving in particular, It proved a very great success in spite of last minute changes in tho cast on account of sickness, Where all did so well it would be invidious to make distinctions but it must be said the real his- trionic talent was manifested where it was undreamed of. . The cast was as follows: Violet Gridge. Eileen Clark, Annle Farrell, Beulab Galt, Ada Letson, Helen Morison, Gladys McCurdy, Kathleen McKay. Peggy McKay, Zoe Rapson and Peggy Rice, The end -of a perfect day cam' with the climax of the distribution of gifts for all children from the Christmas tree and so there passed into the archives of personality an- other high place of memory to be chérished as a sacred place in years to come, WILLIAMS PIANO EMPLOYEES' SOCIAL The annual social evening of the Williams Piano Company em- ployees was held last might in the factory, with six hundred present.

Brought Blazing Din- ing Car for Woodstock Department Woodstock, Dec, 21--=The Wood- stock fire department had the un- usual experience today of having to wait for a fire to arrive before they could set to work to extinguish it. Usually the firemen find the fire waiting for their attention, but this forenoon, on being called to the Canadian National Railway station, they were told to sit down and wait for the fire to come along, In about an hour's time it came--- in the form of a burning dining car on the Montreal to Chicago flier. The blaze had started in the stove pipe of the car, fortunately empty at the time, aud had taken a good hold on the roof, The train employees had been able to keep it under fairly good control with chemical extinguishers, and on the train's arrival at Woorlstock it was finally put out, ; There was no panic or disorder among the passengers. Very few of them were aware @anything was wrong.
