Christian Girls * Choir Concert At Northminster The Toronto Christian Business Girls' Choir was the main attrac- tion of a concert held Friday eve- ning in Northminster United Church. Guest artists were pian- ist Ron Adams anc Clara Cad- dell, who recited. A collection of well - known hymns and songs of praise was beautifully presented by the choir , of 16 girls. . They were dressed simply in short, white jackets and full floor-length black skirts. Their theme is taken from Psalm 40, verse 3: "For He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God". Under the capable direction of Miss Nan Allin the choir ranged in selection from 'The Lord's Prayer' to the story of the lost sheep in 'The Ninety and Nine'. There were no fancy twists and twirls, to their singing. It could better. be described as having a 'peat simplicity'. Pianist Ron Adams, being blind, played from the heart. As he Played Chopin's Nocturne, Opus , Number 2, his attentive audi- ence was breathing in time with his beautifully faultless playing. His other selections, equally per- fect, were 'Jesu, Joy of Man's De- ) ,"' the 'Belmont Hymn' and 'Now I Raise My Ebenezer'. Other selections, beautifully ren- dered by the choir were 'Bless This House', 'The Holy Hour' sung in fine ha rndHomuMh',0Toyy 1 in fine harmony, 'Hold Thou My Hand', the lovely 'Eye Hath Not Seen', 'At the Hour of Prayer', 'The King of Love', 'Let Not Youg Heart be Troubled',, 'Bless the Lord, O My Soul', the familiar 'I Walked Today where Jesus Walk- ed', 'He Shall Feed His lock', 'God So Leved the World', 'Come to Me', and 'The Lord is My Light'. Clara Caddell warmed the au- dience' with her pantomime of the country woman who made a trip to New York. Her "What you t'ink?" with a wide grin, brought real spontaneous laughter. On the serious side, she gave a Negro version of the 'Ninety 'and Nine', and the impressions of a simple woman who had just heard Han- del's 'Messiah', and who tried to | express its beauty in words. She changed her mood completelywith a shrug of the shoulders, drop in her voice. She had the audience living her stories along with her. Rev. H. A. Mellow, master of ceremonies, welcomed the choir and expressed the appreciation of the audience and congregation. The concert was sponsored by group three of the Ladies' Asso- ciation of Northminster United, and proceeds went to the church building fund.

Circulation At Library Increased "In spite of the fact that due to the extreme heat September was more like summer than autumn, our total circulation 11,847 books for the month, showed an in- crease," states the. chief librarian of the Oshawa Public Library in her monthly report. "In the Adult Department, non- fiction was up 117 over last Sep- tember, and Biography, with a circulation of 593 books, the highest subject. Fiction, on the other hand, was slightly lower than last year. "The Boys' and Girls' Depart- ment had an increase of 201 over last September. Books were lent to six schools, -- Cedardale, Ritson, Harmony, North Oshawa, West- mount and King. "Three hundred and fifteen books were added to our collection during the month and 208 discarded. Over one thousand cards were typed for the catalogue. It was necessary to purchase five new catalogue drawers since we needed the space very badly. One hundred and fifty-eight read- ers joined the library during Sep- tember. "Four visits were made to the hospital in September. Sixty-nine books and 205 periodicals were giv- en out to the patients. The Wom- en's Auxiliary of the Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital have donated sub- scriptions for three magazines, -- National Geographic, Life Magazine and Commonwealth Today, for our hospital work. We appreciate very much their interest and support in this work. Since we sometimes give out 70 magazines during an after- noon we are very grateful to them for supplying us with a large num- ber of these magazines. "I have visited most of the pub- Book Service and McClelland and Stewart plants, and the new fall books are beginning to pour in. "The fall sectional meetings are now in full swing.

School secretary Howard Farndale said that the school board and township officials are well pleased that building costs of this school are being kept at a reason- able level. It is proposed that the school be called "Coronation School" in re- cognition of this coronation year. CENTRAL CHATTER By DOREEN DANKS Last week, when council met with its newly elected executive, Walt Petronishin was speaker. A wreath for Remembrance Day, and Mr. Dibbon's memorial were discussed. Then the standing com- mittees were chosen. The next council meeting will be November 5. Central's portion of the radio program each Saturday will now consist of ten minutes under the direction of Ed. Broadbent. Saturday's football game saw our junior gridders defeat Lind- say 46-5>- at Alexandra Park. We only hope they can repeat the per- formance today, when they travel to Lindsay. That championship looks pretty tempting and each game brings us that much closer. Those who attended the dance, "Artistry in Autumn', seemed to enjoy themselves. The music seemed to meet with the approval of everyone and after a while the attendance increased. The first Audubon presentation was held at Central last night. If the usual standard was upheld, Mr. Murphy's efforts on Wednes- day were fully rewarded. He spoke at assembly on the merits of such = program and the inter- esting topics yearly provided by the Audubon Society. When our principal completed his explana- tions we were impressed by the possibilities of the coming lectures and the fact that Mr. Murphy so busily engages himself in his spare time. I am sure many more attended last night's colorful film than would have otherwise. Speaking of Assemblies, we had a very interesting one this week. The topic for discussion was Unit- ed Nations Week and it was ably presented by John Turner and Ed Radkowski. These boys must have spent much time in preparation of their information. They gave us a presentation which rated with any that might have been given by any senior and more experi- enced members of the school,' VALUABLE TERRITORY The crown colony of British Gui- ana, only British territory in South America, produces large quantities of bauxite, bd : CORAL JSLANDS Bermuda, 660 miles southeast of New York, is the most northerly group of coral islands in the world. 336 DREW ST.
