MARTIN SPOKE AT MEETING OF CHILDREN'S AID (Continued from page 4) The business session of the meet- ing was presided over by the president, H, P. Schell, who review- ed the work of the society during the past year, He stated that the year had been a difficult one. The current depres- sion had caused many problems, some of which were new and al- though unaccustomed to them they had been taken care of to the best of the society's ability. One of these he stated, was that a number of large families had become depend- ent due to the fact that the earn- ing power of the head of the house had disappeared. Mr. Schell stated that a number of these had been rehabilitated both in the countv as well as the city, He paid tribute to Miss Jackson for the praise worthy work that she had carried on in the city in co-operation with the society. In the absence of the treasurer, C. D. Lyons, Mr. Schell read the financial report for the year. He stated that in the report a debt of $3720.21 was shown. This was not an actual debt, he 'stated, as the, maintenance accounts were sent into the county quarterly and as the financial vear ended in November these had not been paid before the county council met. So that with this amount deducted there was an actual debt of about $700, Officers Re-elected It was moved by Rev. C, E. Cragg and seconded by W. R. Geikie that the officers of the society be re- elected tor the ensuing year, The officers are as, follows: --Honorary Presidents, F. L. Fowke, J. D. Storie, and G. W, McLaugalin; Ex- officio officers, the ministers of the churches of Oshawa, including the officer im" charge of the Salvation Army, together with the Mayor of Oshawa, the Warden of the County, the Clerk of the County and the chairman of the County Council Finance Committee; President, H. P. Schell; Superintendent, O. M. Alger; Treasurer, D. Lyons; Secretary, T. H. Everson; Board of Management, H. P. Schell, T. H. Everson, E. N. Sinclair, KC. J. A. Bickell, David Haverson, Charles Schofield, George Hart, A. G. Storrie, Dr. T. W. G. McKay, O. M. Alger, J. C, Young, Mrs. Charles Schofield, Mrs, W. R. Geikie, Mrs, Fred Cowan, Mrs. Frank Robson, Mrs. T, H. Everson, Mrs. Mattie Luke, Mrs. E. V, Lander, Mrs. J. C. Young, Mrs. H. P, Schell, Mrs, Stewart Storie, Mrs. Charles Rob- son, Mrs. J. F. Grierson, Mrs. Roy Bennett, During the evening several very fine violin solos were presented by Leonard Richer, which were very much appreciated. Master Teddy Morgan also gave a selection on tie drum, which was very well exe- cuted indeed. So ------------ A friend is one who can for- give you for everything except climbing above his level.

Zhe visitors to the Lodge meeting ol b No other feeling e'er can be Akin to that of being free. ~0ld Mother Nature, The desire for freedom is born in us, It is a Pl of us. It is the same way with the little people of the Green Meadows and the Green Forest. Nothing can quite take the place of it. It was so with Runty, the little Possum Farmer Brown's Boy had found in the hen-house. He was com- fortable, very comfortable, more comfortable perhaps than he would have been at home in the Green Forest. He had plenty to eat without the trouble of hunt- ing for it. He was safe, and that was more than would have been the case in the Green Forest, for there hungry folk with a liking for tender young Possum would all the time have been looking for bim. But he was a prisoner. He couldn't go and come when he wanted to, Of Farmer Brown's Boy and Mother and Father Brown he had no fear at all. They were the best of friends. It was the same way with Bowser the Hound and Flip the Terrier, From the day that Farmer Brown's Boy had intro- duced him to them they had un- derstood that he was now one of the family and not to be harmed. Often Farmer Brown's Boy would out him on Flip's back for a ride and after the first few days both he and Flip enjoyed it. Flip would dance around and bark while Run. ty would hold on. Only Black Pussy the Cat was to be distrust- d So altogether Runty was hap- py, but he wasn't contented. He would look over to the Green For- est and wonder what Unc' Billy Possum and his mother and bro- thers and sisters were doing and sometimes sizh a bit wistfully. So he was always on the watch for a chance to escape and go back there, 'At last the chance came. Far- mer Brown's Boy had him out of the cage playing with him in the kitchen. A visitor camo to the door. Runty was placed on the floor and forgotten while Farmer Brown's Boy talked with the visit- or. The door to the back shed was ajar. Unobserved, Runty slipped out into the shed. In a far corner was a \ittle doorway mado for Black Pussy. Runty discovered it at once and made for it, Fortun- ately Black Pussy was not around. He slipped out. No one was in sight. As fast as his legs could take him he made for the Old Orchard. ¥ '"Ah done got to get a place to hide until dark," he muttered. "Ah reckon Ah will be safest in a tree." He made straight for the near- est apple tree and it happened to be an old one. Up he climbed in a hurry. Not far above the ground he found a hole and poked his head in, He was greeted by a hiss and the snap of a bill, He had dis- turbed the sleep of Snooky the Screech Owl. Runty withdrew in a hurry and dodged around the trunk just as Spooky poked his head out and sleepily looked to see what had disturbed him. "Mah goodness, that was a nar- row escape !" thought Runty and remained perfectly still for a long time. Then he climbed down slow- ly and carefully and made off through the grass until he felt that he was far enough away from 80 dangerous a neighbor. Once more he climbed a tree and this time he found a hollow with no one in it.He promptly entered and with a sigh of relief curled up to sleep until the Black Shadows sould come to make it safer to tra- It was just about - then tha Farmer Brown's Boy oapniias Runty and started to look for him. Meanwhile the door to the shed had been closed, so Parmer Brown's Boy thought Runty must be somewhere in the house.

TINVTOTS ENJOY CHRISTMAS TREE Parents and Friends De- lighted With Kinder- garten Closing Exercises With all the innocence and loveli- ness of childhood, over forty little boys and girls took part in the Christmas vacation closing exercis- es at Centre Street Public School Kindergarten yesterday morning and afternoon. Parents of the chiu- ren and several members of the Board of Education composed the audience on both occasions. The class was divided so that half of the children appeared in the forenoon and the remainder of the class in the afternoon. The little tots, led in songs, games .and dances by their teacher, Miss Gretchen Ellis, de- lighted the two admiring audiences for over an hour each time, As the children arrived they took their places in the circle of the room and remained quietly until the audi- ence had assembled, The ovro- grammes opened with the playing of very soft music, resembling the sonad of bells. Then a prayer and a beautiful Christmas story, told by Miss Ellis which was interrupted from time to time when the child- rea sang songs that went with the story. Colorful posters that decor- ated the walls of the room were pointed out to the children to ex- plain certain points in the story of the birth of the baby Jesus, With this over, the programme turned back to November days and the falling of the leaves. Simple but effective little dances and sing- ing games, were done by the little tots to resemble the falling of the leaves and the coming of the snow. Nurser® rhymes played a prominent part and these they sung to very simple ..usic. The Christmas tree and the dis- tributing of the gifts was perhaps the jolliest part of the whole affair for the children and for those who sat watching the tiny tots go up to the tree to receive their gitts, then march proudly up to show it to their mothers and fathers, Each boy and gir] had something for both parents, that had been made during the school hours. The mothers ail received cunning little memo books with vellow pages and brown covers while a pad of blotting paper with a pretty design worked out on the front was taken home to every fa- ther. For the children Miss. Ellis had a candy cane and a bag of pop corn. Miss Ellis was assisted with the children's entertainment by Miss Ruth Hodginson, the kindergarten assistant and Mrs, J. A. McGibbon. Parents of the city are fortunate in having a place like the kinder- garten at Centre Street School to which they can send their small children. When there they know th t they are building the, correct foundation for their future school lite. They not only learn to sing, to dance, to play games, and to use their hands to do useful things, but they are under a certain discipline which it is agreed is one of the most important factors in early child training.

SOUTH, OSHAWA ~~ HERE IT IS ~ The Sale of all Sales AY On the Winds of Song Mrs. Willis Tait, At Home, on a iuesday Night! Remarkable, yes, but the moun- tain came to Mohammed, or would you put it the other way? Put it as yoa will: much too much appeared (and disappeared) Tuesday night to consider that as major. The evening began( wherein lay the disappeared) with a supper, which rumour says left no room for improvement. Indeed, it seems, it lett no room for even ambition; for it was noised aboard that they feeling the need of a walk in the cool air, carolled their way over to serenade the sponsor of the Girl's Council "Practice makes perfect!" said the sponsor, "and it's all in a good cause." You see the sponsor was interested in the cause, which is the Ve:per Service, Christmas Eve. Returning home with their host- ess, by a different way (which was discretion) they set to business. After this was developed a discus- sion on "What it means to be a Christian," "This will be followed next week by "Friendship." Etiquette, By The Book! "Of all the things you aint sup~ posed to do!" said I to myself, com- ing away from Kitchekewana, at Jean Battle's on Tuesday. "And how did she know that I wound my feet around my chair at home (she looked straight at me)? How did she know how I felt when 1 ate with the wrong fork? How did she know the embarrassment of barg- ing into a lusty conversational ef- fort to save that awkward lull which (O fateful moment) turned out to be an invitation to pause for noth- ing less than grace. What a colour rose!" Mv dear questionnaire, don't sup=~ pose you are the only one to hav~ gone through that ? Haven't we all? that lovely book, 'Etiquette Junior," from which we were educated and amused Tuesday night. We recom- mend it to you,.if you, too, are plan- ning a course in the social graces. In fact, if you wait a few weeks, we would loan it to you. Ask your leader to put a reserve on it! Agog For Christmas King Street is up to its ears in naint. Its ears are still above, be- cause it still can hear the 'crying need for colour in a colourless world' That colour they are sup- plying to those who would other- wise suffer the drab monotony of a straight necessity Christmas, They are all making Christmas decora- tions, and Christmas tovs, collecting them. making them, painting them, in one concerted effort to make and pass on Christmas cheer. Gaudv, beautiful, giddy, subtle, cheerful, all the shades of brightness to add to someone's Christmas! On with the paint, King Street, may it never be diluted! The Beaver Group have been dressing dolls for six weeks. What dolls! Zontas (Knox Presbyterian) are still 'doing Christmas boxes.
