The Commodore of the Canadian Boating Federation, Robt. R, Finlay- son, Port Union, Ont., was the guest speaker and proved himself a master of the art. Dwelling on yacht clubs and boating in general, Commodore Finlayson emphasized the importance of a "mother club", such as the Cana- dian Boating Federation, to represent individual clubs to the Government through the Secretary of State and - also as In international Ambassador. After the dinner, several movies of club races were shown and these were enjoyed by all.

Dean Patte, of Oshawa, driving the popular 12 ft. Canadian Utility boat and 26 h.p.

H. "Hap" Palmer, Bowmanville, who since his achievement in 1964 has re- tired from the racing end of boating, temporarily, it is hoped by all his "classmates."

Let us all help to make this a good Christmas, Ont. County Team Successtul i in First Round of Debates The Ontario County Junlor Farmer debating team--Marilyn Ross, Eileen Parliament, \Norm Lyons and George Drake--won a close decision over a strong Durham team last Wednesday evening in Uxbridge and Bowmanville, The topic was "Resolved that a policy designed to encourage the es- tablishment of larger farms would be in the best interests of Ontario farm- ers," The debate this year is on an Inter. University system so that a team must debate both the negative and af- firmative sides-of a particular debate. Some excellent. arguments were put forward by both sides, with Ontario team winning by a narrow margin, This team will now advance to the second round, and we wish them sué- cess in their efforts, St. John's W. A. Blackstock Adverse weather conditions on Fri- day last, Dec. 2, prevented many from attending the Annual W.A, Bguaar of St. John's Anglican Church, Tn spite of this, however, the afternoon proved a most successful one, The special speaker for the afternoon was Miss Helena Sowden from England, the sub- ject of her address being the newly de- veloping program between the church and the government, in regard to the education of the Eskimo. In introducing Miss Sowden, Mrs. Nicholson recounted some of the im- portant positions held by the speaker 'since her entry into the Canadian work many years ago, . After her training at Mount Herman College, London, England, she com- pleted her studies at the Deaconess Training House in Toronto, (now the Anglican Women's Training College). Her first appointment was to the Hay - River Indian School, which at that time was the most northerly Re- sidential School in the McKenzie River Diocese, and of which she became Head Matron. Following her return from furlough in England in 1936 Miss Sowden was sent to establish and take charge of the new Residential School at Aklavik, which was built to accommodate 100 children from the Arctic coast. Dur- ing the war she served with the Y.W. C.A. War Service Personnel in Canada- and England, escorting on her way to England, a group of wartime cvacuees and was subsequently in.charge of Nursery Nurses in Training under the Church of England Children's Society. Following service with the Grenfell Mission on the Labrador Coast, Miss Sowden was asked to take charge of the new experiment projected jointly by church and government at Copper- mine in the central Arctic. This took the form of a Tent Hostel in connec: tion with the education of Eskimo children during the months of April to September, when the parents are away hunting. On the success of this ex- periment depended the development of the enterprise in other parts of the Arctic, The.main purpose of this project is to provide Eskimo children, who are Canadian citizens, with the opportun- ity of educatign in their own home en- vironment, rather-than has been the case hitherto of a long-term residen- tial system in places far distant from their homes, : Miss Sowden showed a series of ex- 'cellent coloured slides, illustrating how the work was done at Coppermine dur- ing the past summer, accompanying these with a highly informative and fascinating description of both Eskimo life and the present task being at- tempted 'amongst them, from which| could readily be seen how many and varied are the difficulties and pro. blems entailed and yet how worth- while is the task as visioned by the the church and government, in their joint endeavour to serve the far north citizens of Canada. In moving a vote of thanks-to the speaker, Mrs, J. A, McAtthur express- ed the appreciation of all present for the address which had been of such educational and geographical interest. At the request of the president, Miss Eva Parr, the bazaar was declared opened by Miss Sowdon who was then presented with a Christmas corsage made by the girls of the Junior Aux- iliary, (Chairman), and Comrades Jack Cook, Monday, December 5th, the Qyono Orphans met Port Hope Redmen on their home ice (The Memorial Gardens at Port Perry) and as a result of brik liant plays they were successful in winning their third straight game. Inthe first period the Orphans tal- lied 4 times to the Redmen's one goal it scored at the 19.22 minutes mark by. Dowing assisted by Freeman and Hogan, While the Orphans' goal get- ters were R. West from West at 1.12; J. West from R. West at 7.50; Morti- mer from K. West at 16.11 and Morti- mer from Mercer at 18.01. In the second period the Orphans tallied twice: first when Robinson made good on Mercer's pass at 8.54, and second" Jr. West going right 'through making as if to pass the puck 'but instead he let it drive into the top right hand corner at 10.22. The Red- men managed to score one between the Orphans' two goals when Armstiong let go with a long one from inside the blue line which Gering failed to judge and it hit the twine behind him. Mak- ing the score 6 to 2 at the end of the second period, In the third period the Redmen tried hard to catch up but for every goal they tallled the Orphaiis drove home one more, Ferguson assisted by Arm. strong tallied at 1,10 then the Orphans. scored when Welsh assisted by Chris- tie chalked one at 6.28. Next Ban- kardo of the Redmen tallied a pair un- assisted only to have the Orphans re- turn them at 12.07 and 19.21 first by Armstrong assisted by Welsh and last by Welsh assisted by Mortimer and Armstrong. The game ended 9-5 in Orono's favour and just so that you don't come to the conclusion that the writer is somewhat mixed up there does happen to be an Armstrong on both teams. And to you people in this district that appreciate good hockey you are miss- ing the best games played in the Gar- dens for some time. It is both fast and exciting; so without further de- lay make it a must to be on hand and watch the Orphans meet one of Port's old rivals next Monday, December 12 when Lindsay will be here.

In spite of the inclement weather a goodly number of local folk came out to help Mr. Howard Challis celebrate the opening. of Howard Motors in Port Perry. ; Prime attraction, of course, was the beautiful new 1956 motor cars dis- played in a beautiful setting of flow- ers supplied by Port Perry Florists.

Motel Apartments Will Fill three-picce bath. Everything is spick and span and the colours beautiful and restful. These rooms can serve a double purpose; too--by tilting the beds up against the wall and adding a few chairs--adequate space is found for a committee meeting or sales con- ference. In addition to the rooms just de- scribed are two bachelor apartments-- each a complete unit--kitchen, dinette, bathroom, bedroom and sitting room. The kitchen has cupboard, with dishes, etc., ete., sink, refrigerator and 'stove ~ --the bath though small is complete with tub, etc.--the dinette takes the form of .a dividing counter between kitchen and sitting room. The bed conveniently folds up out of the way. giving plenty of living space. Again the colors are restful and interesting, the rooms spacious and light. The 2 bachelor housekeeping rooms can be- come one suite, if desired, by opening doublé connecting doors, and would be ideal for a family group or two couples holidaying together.
