Myrtle Station, Dec. 23.--The dured by the program committee in fear of the contrary. The decorating committee made the hall very at- tractive with green and red ropes, tions. The tree was a thing of beauty as it stood tall and stately and decked in its resplendent finery of tinsel rope, brightly colored blown glass ornaments and dripping icicles. Its branches were weighed down with gaily wrapped parcels, while more parcels and boxes of all shapes and sizes were heaped about the foot of the tree, Mr. E. Redman, su- perintendent of the Sunday school made a good chairman. The opening choruses, "Hello," "December" and "Merry Christmas' were sung by the senior pupils. Ray Duff read Luke 2.8-20. Wee Kenneth Heron very cordially welcomed the audience, Phyllis Duff, Harold and Howard Timms, Ada Banks and Carol Lun- ney were shy little beginners who recited and helped to make a happy evening. "Christmas Dollies," a pret- ty little exercise, was presented by Patsy Lunney, Helen Seymour, Dor- othy Vallieres and Phyllis McCart- ney. "Kitty's Stockings," a recita- tion, was well given by Audrey Cook. Kenneth and Doris May Heron sang and acted an amusing duet. "Their Christmas Stockings," a little playlet was acted by Jim Briand, Doris Duff, Franklin Leech, John Kirk- ham and Marlene Barton. "Some- | of fresh vegetables as | great variety in dishes, etc. We have very real when given by Betty Jean Lunney. "Dolly's Stockings" was re- cited by Doris May Heron. Dorothy and Phyllis McCartney sang an ac- tion song, "Santa's Visit." Frank Timms' recitation, "The Twenty- Sixth" created much laughter. Mar- jorie Vallieres' recitation "Liberty's Token," added a patriotic touch to the program. "The Gossips," a shor! play was acted by Betty Kirkham, Beverley Stewart, Doris Duff and Bernice Nottingham. "The Orches- tra," and "In Santa's Pack" were two pleasing action songs by the juniors. "The Riders of the Plains" was recited by Audrey Grant and received a hearty applause from the audience. "Oh Come Little Child- ren", a two-part chorus was sung by the senior pupils. An Indian scene was well done by the whole school. With no lights in the hall but a soft red glow on the stage, the Indians, wrapped in their blankets, sat in semi-circles on the plat- form, Three old chiefs were very picturesque in their long, feather head-dresses and a teepee stood slightly in the background. The leg- end of the maple trees was told by Yoho, a pretty Indian maid (Betty Kirkham). "The Cattle Thief," was recited by Wala, granddaughter of the Father of all chiefs (Jean Duff) Jean gave this very well indeed, and her hearers responded in a very ap- preclative manner. To Indian music played on mouth organs by some of the Indian braves, features of In- dian life were acted by the maidens and boys. Following the singing of the national anthem, Santa Claus arrived--but walking! He had a bad breakdown near Prospect and found it necessary to leave his heavy pack behind him, However he found many gifts on and under the tree for everyone and with the aid of some of the boys they were soon dis- tributed and he returned to the scene of his accident to make the necessary repairs before he contin- ued on his journey. The following interesting para- graphs are from a letter recelved by Mrs. D. Duchemin from her brother who is in the Air Force, and at the time the letter was written was sta- | tioned at an Atlantic seaport: "Tha work we do here is simply guard- ing the air-ficld and does not in- clude an air training.

'DUNDAS LUNCH A. SLEIGHTHOLM, Prop. iantie ovean, We cruised all along the coast and over the mainland, covering about 1,000 miles. We flew about 12,000 feet high and our top speed was about 320 miles per hour, These patrols go out regularly dur- 'ng the day and night, as this sta- tion is now on active service and 'here is always the threat of sub- marine warfare. From the air one can see very clearl ythe defensive precautions that have been made and believe me they are vry thor- ough. We met a convoy that morn- ing and messages were exchanged between the large cruiser and our- selves, The province here reminds me a great deal of Northern On- tario. It is quite heavily wooded along the seacoast and is dotted with numrous small lakes. This is a good life and 1 am enjoying it im- mensely. I think I look and feel better than I ever have before." The annual meeting of the Auxil- lary of the Woman's Missicnary So- ciety was held at the home of Mrs. O. H. Downey on Wednesday after- noon. The worship service followed | the theme, "The World Church pays homage to Christ," and was in charge of Mrs. Gervan, assisted by Mrs. Hudgin, Mrs. Redman, Mrs Downey and Mrs. Luery. As those are called to shew the sincerity of who came {o (he manger bowed be fore the Christ Child, so the Christ- fans of the world today bow before Him. He is the 'radiating centre" of their comradeship. We form part of the world circle; and as mem- bers of that world comradeship, we our devotion to Chris's World Church and to His Kingdom. This was the cetnral thought of the ser- vice. After a brief business period the election of- officers took place resulting as follows: President, Mrs. Gervan; vice-president, Mrs. Red- man; secretary, Mrs, C. Harrison; treasurer, Mrs. Luery; secretary of Christian stewardship and finance, Mrs, Hudgin; Literature and Mis- sionary Monthly secretary, Mrs Downey; Temperance secretary, Mrs, Chisholm; community . friendship, Mrs, A.
