'13? ‘W’ a, _ 'li') 3‘2 At a meeting of the Islington Sold- iers’ Aid Society held last week twelve letters were read, the number received up to date from friendless soldiers overseas in acknowledgement of the Christmas boxes sent to them by this society through the Parkdale Soldiers' Aid to friendless boys in the trenches. Each writer said the receipt of these boxes brought Christmas cheer into their hearts, also to know and feel that some onewas caring for their personal comfort encouraged them to, light on, to do their bit for King and Country, and hoped some day when the Christmas spirit, "Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men," ruled the world, to be able to return to Canada and per- sonally thank the committee for their kindness and generosity. One man said he was exceptionally pleased to get his box, as it was the first parcel he had ever had the pleasure of call- ing his own. He had envied the other boys when messages and parcels came to them from friends. It made him feel alone in the world. But now he felt as if somewhere in Canada he had friends who cared for his welfare. Several of the ladies intend writing return letters. The society sent twen- ty boxes containing socks and other articles of clothing and comforts. Mrs. Marshall, former secretary of the Islington Soldiers' Aid Society, was in towit,iliuit Wednesday, A sleighing party trdm Richvieysb was held at the home of Mrs. M.

Patterson, of West Toronto, wand Mr. McDonald, of Mount Dennis, had a remarkable experience at one per- iod of the game. There were 16 stones in the ring and 13 others in the 7 ft. circle. This head created a, good deal of comment in the Lake- view rink, and other games were stopped while the players look a view of the head. The skip stone was 4 inches from the tee.

P. FARR, Proprietor. A deputation of the residents ot New, Toronto conferred with the Schdol Board on the matter of estab- lishing a continuation school. At the present time children who desire High School education are going to the city. In the past, with so few children going, it was not thought fair to tax the village for privileges for a few, Aut with the growth of the vil- lage it is generally felt that a con- tinuation school is needed. The School Board are. planning to start these classes at the beginning of the fall term. The question of establishing a kindergarten class is also under dis- cussion . The manager has spared no time nor money' to make this the greatest event held here this season. A tea and concert will be given in the ThistletoWn town hall on Friday evening, March 9th. A splendid pro- gramme will be given. Proceeds to be Mr. W..J.
