H. Plintoff presided for the business session. s. Arthur Tuson, Home Educa- tion convener, reported a Study Group had been formed and to date had had two very helpful meet- ings, and another will be held in early January. Mr. E. G. Higgins, school prinei- pal, demonstrated the film strip projector machine, presented to the | school by the Board of Education. The Association voted to donate $25 for the purchase of a number of films. The room prize was won by Miss Margaret Flintoff's room, Grade 2 having twenty-nine parents present. Mrs. George Jackson, vice presi- dent of the Association, who is leaving the city at the first of year to make her home in Kitchener, was presented with a lace table- cloth by Mrs. J.-H. Flintoff on be- half of the members and Mrs. John Badour read an address in the form of a book, festooned with rib- bons in the school colors of green and gold, voicing the. regret at Mrs. Jackson's leaving Cedar Dale, and thanking her for the kindly interest and co-operation that she has given in the past. Mrs. Jack- zon thanked the members for their remembrance. She has been a worker in Home ond School for eight years, having rorved as treasurer and vice presi- cent, and will be greatly missed in the community. As has been the custom for some years the pupils and teachers of the school, put on fhe Christmas pro- gram for the Home and School As- sociation. The first number in the pro- rram was two selections by the ryhthm band, composed of pupils of Grades I and II, 'and led by Larry Flintoff, "Who Is Coming on Christmas Night" and "Jingle Bells". There were over sixty chil- cymbols, castanets, tambourines, drums sticks and jingle clogs. The teachers of these grades are Mrs. L. H, Widmeyer and Miss Margaret Flintoff. Other items in the gram were a play, "A Lesson", put on by eight boys 'and girls of "Mrs. Anson Taylor's room; a recitation, "My Electric Train", by Tommy Eby; a song, "Jolly Santa Claus", by four pupils of Miss Par- dons' room; a dialogue, "We Are ing to Hang Our Stockings Up", four pupils of Grade II; recita- tion, "Christmas Time", boys and girls of Miss Adamson's room; a play by the pupils of Grade 8, "Katherine Parr"; song, "Don't Wait Till the Night Before Christmas", by eight boys and girls, Grade 6, Miss Rufh Robinson; teacher; a recitation by Joyce Bates and a recitation by Frank Locke. A choir composed of pupils from Grades 7 and 8, under the direc- tion of Mr, Wallace Young, supervi- sor of music in Oshawa Public Schools, sang "Give Me Wings", and "Unto Us a Child is Born King of All Creation", "The Christmas Hymn", "I Wish You A Merry Christmas". Mr. E. G. Higgins expressed his indebtedness to Mr. Young and Mr. McLeod for the fine work they had done with the boys and girls in preparing the program, also to those who decorated the school, and the parents who provided the cos- tumes. A thoroughly enjoyable eve- ning was brought to a close by Mr. E. G. Higgins wishing everyone a Merry Christmas on behalf of the staff, and Mrs. Flintoff on behalf of the Association. "Lunch was served by Mrs. Alfred Jones and her committee. Exchange Teacher 's Impressions Of Scotland and Holland Miss Susan Laird, of the teaching staff of Mary Street School, who was an exchange teacher in Scot- lant last year, was guest speaker at Mary Street monthly Home and School meeting on Monday even- ing. Miss Laird gave a clear picture of Scotland as she saw it, when she vas there last year. She said that the Scotland National Party felt strongly about breaking away from "ngland. They felt they would be much more prosperous if they broke away from the domination of Eng- land. Miss Laird said that Scottish apartment buildings were four stor- cy structures with long corridors and many stone stéps to climb. She came to the conclusion that the people of Scotland couldn't possibly have heart trouble with so many steps to climb each day. Last year Mary Street Home and School Association sent a parcel of clothing to Fall Cross school where Miss Laird was teaching. She as- sured the Association that the clothing had been distributed and greatly appreciated by the families. Speaking of the radio program there, Miss Laird said that they were superior to Canadian pro- grams, because they do not take up time with' advertising. She noted that although times hove changed somewhat since the war, that class distinction is still prevalent. Miss Laird said that with regard to sport in Scotland, golf is very popular with the children as well as the adults. Dog racing and football are both popular. She said that al- most everyone bets on the football games. Miss Laird said she had the plea- sure of attending the sheep dog trials while she was there and found it a source of wonderment to see a dog select one particular sheep from the flock. She also had the pleasure of visit- ing the Britannic Gardens when the flowers were at their best es- pecially the roses and delphiniums. Miss Laird also visited Robert Louis Stevenson's home. She said that she could see his home and the hills in the background, from the house where she lived. She thought of the poem by him, entitled, "The Hills of Home" and often wondered what he would think of the land- scape now with its many prefabri- cated houses dotting the "hills". Miss Laird was fortunate in be- ing able to visit Holland in the spring. Shz remarked on the love- ly farm lands which were set out in rectangles, each rectangle hav- ing its own color. As Hollanders are most interested in the tulip bulbs, the flower itself is unimpor- | tant and anyone can pick them, and Miss Laird said that the people decorated their cars and bicycles with them. Miss Laird said she was sur- prised to see how flat and even,the land was. The fields were separat- ed by canals instead of fences. She said the houses and stables were adjacent and both were spotless. Miss Laird also visited The Hague and saw the Peace Palace. She said one notable fact of the Peace Pal- ace was that each country had a part in its structure or furnishings such as the marble from Italy, rugs from Turkey, stained glass windows from England and hardwood from the United States. Miss Laird said the people of Holland were proud of their Are Gallery and that she was fortunate to see ane of Rembrandt's paint- ings just as the sun fell upon it bringing out the full beauty of the many colors. Nearly every home has reproductions of famous paint- ings and children are brought up to appreciate good art. Before leaving Scotland, Miss Laird visited the Isle of Skye, where she saw old castles that have now been turned into tourists' homes. Miss Laird ended her interesting talk on Scotland by saying that she had been in a number of schools and that Mary Street School was equal to any of them and certainly none of them surpassed it. Mrs. E. A. Mounce offered a vote of thanks to Miss Laird on behalf of the association. A fumber of grade six boys and girls sang Christmas Carols which were greatly enjoyed by the teach- ers and parents. Tree"; and "The Santa Claus Ex- press" were two of their songs. The children led the carol singing while the parents joined in. The next meeting will be held on January 3. At this time the association will have the pleasure of en g the Courtice Home and School Association. Grade three, Miss Ferne Led- gett"s room, received the most points for the Junior Grades and grade six, Miss Wilson's room, re- ceived the most points for tHe Sen- ior Grades. Refreshments were served by mothers of grade five pupils. Band P Women Hold Christmas Party The Oshawe Business and Pro- fessional Women's Club enjoyed its annual Christmas party and din- ner at Adelaide House on Monday evening, with Miss Mary Bourne presiding. The room was tastefully decorat- ed for the occasion and the tables presented a festive air with red candles and favors containing spruce twigs. Great credit is due to Miss Evelyn Moore and Miss Florence Cowan and their committee for arranging the entertainment as well as the decorations. Miss Dorothy Wilkins of the O.C.V.I. staff, who was the guest speaker, gave a vivid description of some of her experiences while on exchange in England last year. Brief and interesting accounts of trips to France and Spain were also enjoyed. Two good films were shown, de- picting "Ukranian Christmas" and "Champions in the Making". . Letters were read from the Rug- by Club in England expressing deep gratitude for the parcels sent from the Oshawa club. Parcels will con tinue to be sent each month. The Chinese Consul-General of Canada will be the guest speaker at the January meeting, Nancy Domney Wed To Dennis W. Tyce The marriage ve of Na Nancy Mary Jean Domney of Moose Jaw, Sask, and Mr. Dennis W, Tyce was solemniz- ed by the Rev. E. Donovan Jones in the parsonage of Albert Street United' Church recently. The bride is the daughter of Mr. W. G. Dom- ney of Moose Jaw and the late Mrs. Domney, and the bridegroom is the son of Mrs. Mary Eden of Ilford, England, and the late Mr. Tyce. The bride was given in marriage by her brother, Mr. Edwin Domney. She wore a grey dress with black accessories and a corsage of red roses. She was attended by Miss Bernice Pogson who was wearing a blue moire taffeta dress with black ac- cessories and a corsage of yellow roses. The best man was Mr, Jack Vick- ers of Oshawa. A reception followed at the home of the bride's uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. D. R. Corbman. The couple spent a brief honeymoon in Toronto and are making their home in Oshawa.
