By now, their efforts have produced happiness in many homes throughout a district which goes as far north as Lake Scugog and east ta Newtonville. This year, over 50 baskets with food, candy and toys were distributed. Funds and supplies were provided by private donations, White Gifts f rom the United Churches, funds from service clubs and others. In the Goodyear, a pail was passed around and $64 raised. Mrs. Jesse Van Nest contributed eight dolis fully clothed. The Teen Towners donated $85. One 10- year-old boy, Ronny Garvock, came to the Citadel with MinistersPla n Special Service1 January iOth At a meeting ai the Bowman- ville Ministerial Association held on Monday. Décemnber 31st, Ïin Trinity Church Hall, it was de- cided that a service ai witness and prayer be held on Thursday, January lth, in St. Andrew's Church, at eight o'clock in the evening, with the ministers ai the Bowmanville churches con- ducting the service. This united service will take the place ai four or more serv- ices usually held during the Uni- versal Week ai Prayer obser- vance. Each minister will speak in a short address of about ten minutes; the topics: "My Soul Doth Magnify the Lard", the Rev. A. C. Herbert; "God's Charter", the Rev. T. A. Morgan, "The Miracle of Fargiveness," Captain Wm. Brown; "God's Glory : Man's Need", the Rev. George Leno; "God's Gaod Name," the Rev. Harold Turner; "Where Are The Nine?" the Rev. Alex. G. Scott. A service ai this sort is ta testify ta the common allegiance ai all Christians ta ane Lord, that aur people and cangrega- tions may experience the fact that whatever aur divisions, Jesus Christ is not divided, and that ahi ai us belong ta Him. It provides a place ai common thanksgiving, confession and re- dedicatian at the begin..ing ai the New Year.

There may be some delays in mail due to the strîke, but everythiag will be done to prevent aay great inconvenience. Worried Nurseryman Locally, one of the most wor- ried men is Norman J. Scott, owner of Brookdaie -Kingsway Nurseries, who has a shipment of basic nursery stock coming from the Netherlands this week. It will arrive at Halifax by boat, probabiy on Friday, and because of its perishable nature may be expedited over C N.R. ines, although there is always the possibility of sympathy strikes deveioping in other than C.P.R. unions which could de- lay and destroy the entire ship- ment for a loss ta the nursery estimated at $50,000. Factories in this region wil also be affected to some extent, but it is not expected to curtail shipments ta any great extent.
