In the evening, at the supper hour, an: other generous meal was provided, Christmas cake, pic and fruit again being prominent items on the bill of fare. Rev, Captain Harston was present on both occasions to invoke the divine blessing, and his presence was much appreciated by the guests, #8 well as by his comrades of the Le- glon, Lt.-Col, Frank Chappell was Iso a welcome visitor, and his spir- ted leading of the community sing- ing helped considerably to brighten the proceedings: Excellent Programs The bulk of the entertainment in the afternoon was provided by the Welsh Male Choir, which presented a varied program of «choruses, solos snd duets, and was very popular with all those who were present, Mr, and Mrs, Alfred Henning and Bill Thompson also helped with the ¢n- fertainment during the afternoon, while a splendid Rogers Batteryless radio set, kindly loaned by George Allchin, was a valuable addition to the means of entertainment avail able. In addition, an ample supply of magazines, games and cards was available, and each guest was gener~ ously Supplied with cigarettes, A donation of milk by the Oshawa Dai- ry, and two large hampers of beau- ul apples from Mr, Irwin, of Whit- by, were gratefully received by the Legion, these helping in a very tan gible way to make the event a com- plete success, In the evening, another excellent program was provided by volunteer artists, Solos by Mrs, Kirkbride and male jmperionatians by Miss Dor. othy Sullivan were high lights of the program, while an excellent demon- stration of ventriloguism and magic by Bert Johnston, Canada's premier niagician, and his sen, Cyril, made the evening entertainment of a very high order indeed, The tricks of these two artists evoked roars of laughter, and apt the boys in the best of spirits right to the last mom- ent, George Walsh sang in his own inimitable style, while other soloists were Bill Severs and M, McIntyre Ukrainians Took Part Another very interesting feature of the evening program was a burles- que playlet presented by a group of local Ukrain ans, who came forward and volunteered this part of the pro- ram as a token of their apprecia- Alon which had been shown to a num- ber of their fellow=countrymen who were the guests of the Legion for the day, Other volunteer artists came forward and gave valuable as- sistance with the program, helping to make the event an unqualified suc- cess, Thus the day was spent by the Le- gion in service for the unemployed single men, and other men whose families live elsewhere, The wmem- bers of the Legion who gave their sorvices worked hard, and made it possible for this event to make i deep impression on the minds of all who were guests, So far as could he ascertained, every man eligible to be present was there, and on every side expressions of pleasure and grat jtude were heard for a Christmas Day which was marked hy a demon stration of 'the true spirit of good. will for those greatly in need of it, AUTO AND STREET CAR IN COLLISION Accident Occurs as Motorist Attempts to Pass Parked Car Travelling south on Bimeos street north, near Alma street wet night, a car, driven by Jas.
