The meeting held I the Central Schooi and con- ducted by president Mms. D. Park, with Mrs. L. McFeeters: as program convenor, was weUl attended.. The six new Canadians tak- lng Part in a discussion which compared customs in their na- tive countries with those in lanada, were: Mms. Richter af Pferlin, Germany; Mms. Eibler of Vienna, Austria; Mrs. Biss- .chop of Friesland, Holland; Chrisant Weigand - Austria; Klaas de Rooy and Pete Spaans -Iïolland; Vincent Rimes - Czechosiovakia. .Contributing i n s t r u mental numbers were Ralph and Hen- ry Vanderkooi fommely o! Hol- land, who played two piano duets, and Herman Heinrich formerly of Germany, wha played two numbers on the concertina. Ciass Members Ail o! these new Canadians are members of classes given i n Basic English and Citizenship in evening sessions once a week sponsored by the local Public School Board. Mr. Slutc explained that the classes are paid for by the Community Programs Branch of the De- partment of Education. Owing ta an overaîl drap in immigration this year, attend- ance- in these classes is down, totallîng only 39 in comparison with over a hundred last year. Last year Mm. A. Merkley also taught a class. The two classes this year under Miss Couch and Mr. Slute meet at Central School on Thursday evenings for two hours. Classes have been given heme for the past eight years, those attending th2 first yeam being ail Polish Dis- placed Persons. .The majority o! those attend- ing now are Dutch, with somne German and Czechoslovakian, and range in age fom 16 to 60. Their previaus education also varies widely, from Grade 6 ta university level. The main subjects taught are English, how ta read, write and speli;, alsa arithmetic tables, as Eu- ropean are metric; and civics, which includes Canadian his- tory, government, and citizen- shiP. 1 Try Examination When pupils have finished Books 1 ta 4 used in the course, they try the examination set by the Department o! Education. If they pass this satisfactorily, they are considered ready to apply for their citizenship pa- pers. at the end of five years' residence. ,Mr. Slute said that the ex- amination in civics is quite difficuit and comprehensive. Miss Couch first asked the three ladies various questions as ta their native countries and their first impressions of Can- ada. Mrs. Bisschop of Holland said that at first she did not like Canada, but that now hav- ing been here six years, she has changed hem mi, becom- ing accustomed ta the country and Canadian ways and is hap- py here. Somewhat similar feelings were expressed by others of the group, with the same change of opinion. It was felt by some that* emigration literature in Europe paints a little too glow- ing a picture of conditions in Canada, particularly as ta work for ail being readily founid. Mms. Eiblem feit however, that there was great opportunity .4m Canada and said Canada had lived up ta her hopes. Can Buy More Bath men and women agreed that they could buy more and better food here with the wages of the average working man; also that the standard of living with regard ta abiiity ta purchase automobiles and household electrical appliances was considerably higher. Deepe'st impression of Vin- cent Rimes of Czechoslovak«îa was of the wonderful freedom- here in Canada; freedom of speech and ta move about ac- cording ta one's own inclina- tion. Food, education, recreation, types of 'houses and heating were among other subjects dis- cussed bxr the teachers and their pupils. The answers given by those taking part provided an interesting and instructive hour for Home and School members. The instrumental numbers were also much en- joyed. Mrs. McFeeters thanked ail for their contribution ta th2 program, ta which president Mrs. Park added her thanks. Social Evening It was announced that a so- cial evening of cards and danc- ing will be held by the Asso- ciation on Feb. 4. Tickets may be purchased from members, with Mrs. Mel Wiseman in charge of ticket sales at 50c per persan.

Somerville and Miss P. Parker; Vincent Massey-Mrs. M. Symons' roomn being taught by Mrs. Slute while Mrs. Symons is on leave of absence. PRICES Up... BUDGET DOWN?
