Ll " » Mr, and Mrs. John Munday, of Maple Grove, were honored by about seventy of their relatives on Saturday evening, the day of their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary, The large company of friends ar- rived at the Munday home and took the bride and groom of twenty-five years ago, completely by surprise. They were made the recipient of a beautiful silver tea service, the pre- sentation of which called for a timely address read by Mr. Mark Munday, and to which both Mr, and Mrs. Munday replied with brief speeches of thanks. Messages of congratulations reached Mr. and Mrs. Munday from all their guests. Tables were set up and everybody enjoyed a friendly game of cards, When refreshments were served the table at which Mr .and Mrs. Mun- day sat was prettily decorated with a thr e story wedding cake in the centre.

M, Walker of the De- partment of Etemology of the University of Toronto addressed the staff and students of Bishop Bethune College last evening on "The Music of the insect World." Dr. Walker imitated the sounds of the many different insects which were illustrated in the lan- tern slides that he had shown. The purpose of his address was to prove that real musical notes are uttered by the tiniest creat- ures that inhabit the earth, A number of people from town were also present to hear Dr. Walker, They included: Mr. and Mrs, F. G. Carswell, "Mr. and Mrs. G, E, Leigh-Mallory, Mrs. E, V. Lan- der, Mrs. D, J, Brown, Mrs. A, E. MyGillivray, Miss Wilkins, Mrs. Nina Smith, Mrs. Lorne Ardiel, Mr. and Mrs. W. M, Gilbert and Mr, M.

Have you ever noticed how often little fu" s are envious of big flok because of their size? It is foolish very foolish, because often there are advantaces in being small. Envy is foolish any way, It is particularly foolish whun it concerns size, There are times when everybody wishes he ccu'd be either bigger of smaller, so the thing to do is to be satisfied with vour size and remember that knowledge and the ability to use it are far more important than size. Runty, the smallest of Unc' Billy Possum's twelve children, sometimes envi.d his brothers and sisters be- cause +° - were bigger than he and grew faster. Like most children he was in a hurry to grow up to be as big s father and mother. It seemed .0 him that nothing was ite 5) desirable as being big. But he didn't wish that this night. No, sir, he didn't wish that this night. For once he was glad he was small. It happened this way: Unc' Billy had left him at the edge of the Green Forest to go over to Farther Brown's henhouse, charging him to wait there until his return, Unknown to Unc Billy, Runty had disobeyed. He had stol- en along the Old Stone Wall behind Unc' Billy. He had seen Unc' Billy climb th wire fence of the hen- vard. Then he had stolen over and eened through th fence and watch- »' Une' Billy vainly try to get into the henhouse through the little doorway made for. the hens and which was partly closed by a sliding door. Finally curiosity got the bet- ter 0. Runty and he climbed that fence . Unc' Billy was so busy trying to »t into that. henhouse that he did- n't av attentidbn to anything else, a..d the first he knew of Runtv's presence was when the latter piped up in a small voice, "Ah reckon Ah can wet through that hole." "What's that?" exclaimed Unc' Billv with a start of surprise. "Ah thought Ah told yo' to stay behind and wait 10' me," he added severely. "Yo' did, but Ah just had to come Af just had to," replied Runty, Then he added eagerly, 'Ah can get through that hole. ¥Yo' watch me."

Burgess Bill but the latter shoved 'im aside. "That is no place fo' 4 1i'l fellow live vo'," said he. Runty grinned. "It looks to me like it is just the place fo' a I'l fel- low like me," said he. "Yo' can't get in there and Ah can. Perhans Ah can bring an 2'~~ out to yo," Unc' Billy opened his mouth to say no, then closed it without say- ing it. He wanted an egg. Yes, sir, he wanted an egg. Runty could get in there. Of this there was no ques- tion. How he might get an egg ont to 1° «+ Unc' Billy he didn't stop to consider, "Yo lend me yo' ears and listen close," said he "Those hens are just big stupid birds and they will all be asleen up above yo' head. Don't pay no attention to them at all. Along one side yo' will find a lot of I'l places fo' nests. Yo clim up and look in every one of them. If yo' find something big and smooth that will be an aigg. The smooth part is a shell and yo' can oreak 1t with yo' teeth, Inside is th. real aigg. If yo' roll one off so nat it drops to the flo' it will break? so be careful. Mah goodness, how Ah wish Ah could get in there! Look all around on the flo'. Som- tin there is an aigg on the flo' or in a box. Perhaps vo' can roll ene where Ah can reach in and pull it wut.

One group last year sent to several misson- aries of whose work they had been studying dainty little person- al boxes of fine toilet soap and bath powder and bath salts. They found out about what the duty was likely to be as these, and en- closed enough money in their Christmas letters that went by the same post to cover this. A Christmas story telling festi- val might include such old favor- ites as "The Other Wise Man" from "The Blue Flower" by Hen- ry Van Dyke, "The Worker in sandal Wood," by Marjorie Pick- sthall, "The Story of the Sheph- erds" from "Ben Hur," Dicken's Christmas Carol.

We Stand By Following the tradition of for- mer years, practically all Tuesday meetings were this week cancel- led, owing to the Christmas ex- aminationg now in progress at the Collegiate. A few groups, however, who met last Friday evening, have something to re- port. The Rainbow Group They were busy girls when they planned for their Christmas party last meeting and also dis- cussed a way to help someone else enjoy the Christmas season. They weren't too busy, though, to sing a few Christmas hymns and read a chapter of "The Story Girl." Also we want you to know that we're all in favour of skating and agree to all rules. When do we start? (Will Miss Moore please answer this query ?--Editor) Aketa Searchers What did we do last Friday? To say the least we did accom- plish a great deal in a little while as we were all anxious to go to a play that was put on by the wo- men of our church. First of all we had that very worth-while report from council especially the part Miss Jackson was responsible for. We are going to do our best for Christmas cheer. Are you going to do yours? We also look forward with great interest to the coming of the Osh- awa C.G.I.T, Conference in Janu- ary. Secondly, we made sure every girl in the group understood what was meant by signing that prom- {ssory note for skating this winter. Does every one in your group un- derstand? Yes, we thought it was clear to everyone in ours too, un- til we asked one of the girls to tell some new ones about our plan. Last but not least, we planned a hike for next week's meeting to be held Saturday morning. Are we looking forward to a good time? I should say so. Imagine going out with your leader and cooking dinner, isn't that going to be fun, especially if the snow is still on the ground? If you want to hear how our first exypedition turns out, you Lad better watch this column very carefully next week. HAS ENVIABLE of the nest boxes. (Copyri~ht, 1931, by T. W.
