House 15--Office 484 ITBY 51st Annual - Whitby Fire Brigade Success in Every Way| Pretty Decorations, Hand} some Company, Splendid Floor and Wonderful Mu- sic Feature the Occasion Which Has Passed the Half Century Mark -- Chief William Smith An- swers the Call to Duty-- Program is Vari-d With Novelties (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Dec. 29.--The 51st an- ny hal of the Whitby Fire Bri- gade, held in the town hall audi- torium last night. proved one of the most successful in the history of the brigade both from point of attendance and the fun provided. The hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion in Christmas colors of red and green while long streamers were draped from the overhanging lights, A great bunch of balloons in all colors was hung from the ceiling creating a novel effect while from the stage where the orchestra was seated a new moon looked serenely down upon the dancers. The stage was further decorated, with Chesterfield lamps which thiew out a soft glow while to the left stood a small cedar tree gay with tinsel and bright lights. Chief Heeds Gong Dancing commenced at nine o'clock and continued until the early morning hours to dulcet strains in fox trot or waltz provide ed by Rainie's five piece orchestra. The program was varied and in- terspered with novelties and at times pretty effects were produced by means of the spot light. The members of the fire company were all present and were distinguishea by their neat blue uniforms with shining brass buttons. Before 'the dance began, Chief William Smith, who is well over seventy, was on hand at the entrance of the hall to welcome the guests. But when the orchestra struck up a waltz, it was like the summons of the fire gong to him and the head of the company was the first man on the floor. Old Time Dances A few of those present last night stepped the light fantastic toe whew square dancing was in its hey-day and when the lancers was played they joined in right merrily. With fifty-one years of experienge the firemen have learned to arrange the order of things so that persons of all ages might enjoy themselves. Delicious Supper After 11 o'clock, during the sec ond intermission, supper was prou- vidéd at long tables which had been set in the council chambers. The wives of the members of the brigade, who are as famed in the culinary art as their husbands are in fighting flames, were in charge of this feature and served an amp- litude 'of tasty sandwiches, rolls, coffee, pie and cake. Matter of History Dancing was resumed until the early hours when the playing of the home waltz and the Natioral An- them ° signified another annual fireman's ball had rolled into his- tory. Great eredit is due to the committees in charge for the suc- cessful manner in which the dance was corducted. The supervising committee included Chief Wm. smith, Captain - Dick Heard and Fireman L. Northam, secretary- treasurer.
