ANNUMI A Good Program Gitren-Prizes and Gifts Distributed Among the Children READ WHAT G NN On Wednesday last the town hall was the scene of life merriment and acivity upon the occasion of the an- nual Sunday school fete day ot St. Phillip’s Church. A slight disap- pointment awaited the children when the weatherman forgot to deliver the snow for the usual sleighride, but all this was forgotten in the good time given them upon their arrival at the hall. The older members and friends put up the tables and spread them with an array of tempting goodies for the little folk and to which full jus- tive was done by all. Following this a program of music, readings, chorus singing, dialogues, etc., was given by the children, all of whom credited themselves in a worthy manner. The vector, Rev. I; Robertson, officiated as master of ceremonies and cordial- ly, welcomed the large number pres- ent. In addition to the scholars, Mr. Keith Dalton gave the story of the nativity in a very impressive manner by the use ot lantern views, and also threw on the canvas several other pictures ot a humorous and in- teresting nature. One of the pleas-. ing features of this year's gathering was the presence of a large number ot the Westmount friends, who were extended a most hearty welcome. Suitable prizes were given to each child, also gifts of oranges, fruit and candy distributed to the children. A review of the year's work was indeed encouraging and reflects credit on the officers and teachers for the progress made, while the parents, friends and children are to be congratulated on the interest they have taken in the work and the splendid attendance at the school sessions. A A very pretty wedding was solemn- ized in Dunn Ave. Presbyterian Church, Toronto, on Wednesday, Jan. 5, 1921, when Miss Violet R. Cahoon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Cahoon of 18 Edna Avec,, became the wife of Mr. Lorne E. MeEwen, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. K. McEwen, of Weston. The bride, who was unattended, wore a gown of blue silk with accordeon pleated skirt and a corsage bouquet of red roses, and was given away by her father. Mrs. Victor Cahoon, sis- ter-in-law of the bride, caught the bridal bouquet. After the ceremony the happy couple left tor a short trip to Buffalo, Rochester and other New York state points, returning Sunday evening to their home, King St., Wes- ton.

The President. Mrs. Barber, occupierl the chair, and Rev. Rsttsbon, assisted by his clever pranip- ulation of the lantern. At the close On Saturday evening there was a splendid meeting of the Weston hockey fans held in the Town Hall. At this meeting it was decided that there would be aricom‘plete reorganL zation of the club and amew start made. Great credit-is due to those who took hold of the club and enter- ed them in the series. It was felt, however, that this- year the club should be reorganized and run under a new management. This resulted in a, long argument and a new election of officers as follows: Hon. Pres., Mayor ll. J. Flynn; Pres., Chas. Dankert; Sec.-Treas., Wes. Farley; Magn, Dan Holley; Capt., IT. Coulter; Trainer, G. Harri- son The poor condition of the sidewalk on 'the Eagle Ave. hill, between the bridge and Scarlet Road, was the cause of a very painful accident on Sunday evening. Mrs. Joseph Dodg- son was coming\§rom her daughter's, Mrs. L. LaRose, Westmount, to take the car at Weston, and as she went to step off the walk, which is narrow, two plank and very uneven, her foot slipped into a deep rut, caused by a rain washout. She sustained a sprained ankle. Her two little grand- children were with her and with their assistance she managed to reach Dr. Charlton's office, where, she was given treatment. The prospects for the season are very bright. The locals have last year's team available _and several new players. With .the conditions changed and the boys all home, there is no reason why our team can't make a real good showing this win- ter. Support of the town is one ot the greatest assets in the game. A team that feels the town is behind it will make a. greater effort to win. It requires the support of the town as a. stimulus. Will the town give this? Hockey is a great game that is fast and very fascinating. It is clean and most healthful for the young people. Let the whole town get in behind the new club. Give it your support and see thatXwe get the real hockey this winter. Mr. and Mrs. Norval Van Zant of Winnipeg, formerly of Lemaire Ave., Weston, arrived in town on Tuesday, and will spend a few weeks with friends. The Riverside Tennis and Euchre Club will hold their next social gath- ering at the home of Miss M. Tolten, Maria. Street, on Tuesday evening, January 18th. Mr. Johnston gave a very impres- sive talk on the relations and attitude of the early church to missions at the Methodist Young People's Monday night meeting, held under the direc- tion of the Missionary Committee. The attitude of the Jews in thinking that the Gospel was for them alone, was entirely foreign to Christ's teach- ing, as illustrated by the vision sent to Peter previous to the call from Cprnelius. The command to the dis- ciples, "Go ye out and preach the Gospel," is just as imperative, and binding on us' to-day, and if we carry out the will of the Divine Master, we must send the Gospel to foreign fields. The F. M. B. Class, and Mr. Calvin Hill, supplied the musical program. An evening with Bengough, Fri- day, Jan. 21. Humor, wit and Wis- dom.

"The married men and those in greatest need will be employéd 'first, but work will be found tor all," the mayor said. Although the situation is not as 'bad in Mimico as in many other places, there is considerable hardship, and lack of employment.

When a motion passed to adjourn after a bare hour's session, the meet- ing did not seem inclined to disperse,. and stood around in little groups waiting for something to happen. . The first meeting ot, the Hydro Commission was held on Monday night. Mr. Jackson', the mew member of the board, was sworn into office. At a previous meeting the work of extensions had been discussed in or- der to utilize the full amount of POW-" er allowed by the Hydro Commission to the Etobicoke Commission. It was decided to go ahead and start work. on the following extensions. West-' mount to supply fifteen customers,,) The property of Mr. Charles Parker?" Queen Street, to supply fourteen cus-' tomers, and several smaller extensions . in the Long Branch district. The commission is waiting for the signing of contracts for Bloor Street district, - when that work will be started.

It is up to the people to co-operate in this matter, if they are going to get quick service.
