No estimates of the probable number available can be prog before December 20, in the opinion of many retailers. Some butchers expressed the opinion that the influx of birds from Manitoboa and Western Ca- nada would flood the lower-quality market, and drop prices to as low as 43 to 45 cents per pound, but oth- ers believed that the bulk of west- ern birds would be sent to the Unit- to as to ed: States, where higher prices are |: expedted to prevail. 1949 Officers Are Elected By Kedron W.A.

Her bright spirit stayed with the late Mrs. Amott to the ihe late Mrs. Amott will be missed by your correspondent in that she was always cheerful and co-operative in the task of gather- ing the weekly news budget. Weather is dull and somewhat chilly at time of writing, but never- fiteless not cold or stormy. Every- one has appreciated gheatly the wonderful bright, mild days of the past week.

Mr. and Mrs. Will Riddell, Orono, were Sunday visitors at Mr. Frank Thompson's. ; There was a full representation from this community at the Milk Producers' banquet Tuesday evening at St. Andrew's Church.

The Legion Corner As was predicted in this corner a week ago, the holding of nomina- tions for the 1949 officers of the Oshawa Branch the Legion showed no scarcity of volunteers for the major offices. Keen contests ured for president, first anid A vice-president and for the executive committee, there being no fewer than seventeen candidates for the nine executive positions. Voting will take place at the meet- ing on Thursday, December 16, and this meeting should see the largest attendance in some months for the selection of those who will guide the destinies of the branch for the next year. One of the interesting discussions last week centred around the Santa Claus suit owned by the Oshawa Branch, and used at its Christmas parties. It seems that a local service club wished to borrow it for three special occasions, but there was al- ready a motion on the books 'that it was not to be lent to anyone, Qe- cause of abuse of the generosity of the branch in previous years. The members, however, were in a gener- ous mood, and not only rescinded the previous motion, but agreed that it would be available to be loaned to any bona-fide and re- sponsible organization, but not to r private parties. Oshawa Branch of of the Legion is to be favoured on December 16 by a visit from Maurice A. Searle, one of the senior Pension Adjustment Of- ficiers in the Dominion, who for over fifteen years has been oper- ating at Christie Street Hospital on behalf of war veterans with prob- lems to be solved. Mr. Searle will accompany J. E. Bays, service bur- eau officer of the Legion, and will be glad to interview any local vet- erans who have problems of pen- sions, treatment and allowances. They will be available from 12 noon until 10 p.m. Members of the Branch are hop- ing that, in spite of the election of officers being held on that night, it will be possible to find time to have Mr. Searle address the meeting. No official in Canada has a broader knowledge of returned soldiers' legislation than has Mr. Searle, and an address from him would be beth interesting and instructive. Business Manager Ben Jacklin was greatly relieved when the Branch decided to over to the Kiwanis Club tuberculosis fund a sum of $48.25 which was raised at a concert given some months ago in aid of anti-tuberculosis work. Ben had been holding this money in the Branch funds, mot knowing to whom to send it, and the Branch decision solved his problem. The Friday evening socials of the Brangh have been very popular, but tomorrow evening 'will be the Christmas party for members and their wives, with non-members not admitted on account of lack of accommodation. Bill Beaton has a program arranged for this event, and along with it will be the dis- tribution of turkeys, geese and chickens for Christmas, so there should be a capacity attendance. On Saturday afternoon at two pm. the Christmas treat for the children. of members is being held, and judging from the number of names of children received by the committee in charge, the hall will again be crowded for this event. Santa Claus will be on hand with gifts for all the children, and there will be a good time for everyone.

Mr. Bond suggested the ties be shipped, permitting the English members to save clothing coupons. INDUSTRIOUS MEDICO Owen Sound, Ont.--(CP)--Early- bird Dr. J. R. Fraser from 5 to 9 o'clock each morning plants trees near Port Elgin. In five years the medico has covered 17 of his 22 acres with 35,000 trees -- pines, fruits, shrubs, walnuts. T.B.

All four children got the disease from close relatives unknown to have it.

Christmas Seals and' support the local campaign. --Central Press Canadian.

He pointed out that con- ditions in many homes are not suit- able for plants, due to extreme heat and low humidity. No matter how clean a home may be, he said, there is considerable dust that lodges on plants and in- terferes with growth. Mr. Slichter stressed the need of pots which are not too large for plant, in order that the plants may become pot-bound and thus produce more bloom. Prizes were donated to two of the members of the club, Mrs. W. Mark and Mrs. J. Nash, by the speaker. The winners of the prizes, an aza- lea and a cyclamen, were decided by a draw. F. O. Kirby, the. newly-elected president of the club, took his place in the chair, and introduced the Chairman of the executive body, Bert Morgan, who was elected a Director for one year, to fill a va- cancy due to a resignation. The members of the group present at the meeting were also unanimous in their decision to hold future meetings on the second Monday of each month, rather than the first as in the past.
