Vamey Red Cross Box Social an?" -- __..w Varney Red Cross Society had the dis- tinction of having the gala box social of the season when a packed house came their way The crowd came in sleighs from all directions and it is safe to say that the Orange Hall never had its capac- ity taxed so before. Mr Wm Irwin was chairman and was fully competent while Mr Duncan McLean, Aberdeen was a capable auctioneer. He had some 90 boxes to dispose of all shapes and sizes. plain and much be- decked and the maximum price paid for a box was $6.,50 it going to Mr Robt Wil- son and Miss Winnie Blythe's box. Sack: of Mur and spgar were donated by Messrsl J. W Blyth and Norman J. Kerr. The flour was tamed previous to the social and that night it was tound Mr Stanley Mead held the lucky ticket. He patriot- icaily turned it over for auction again, Mr Julius Keller this time securing it for $12. The sugar sack was the object ota friendly rivalry between Egremont and Normanby townships. Tickets were sold at 5c each in both townships. the town" I ship buying the most having the honor of selling it off. Normanby Tp. won out, having bought 711 tickets and they in turn sold it to Mr J. J. Wilton for $15 l Then a fruit cake was donated try the Circle and made by the competent Mrs. _ Wm Ritchie Sr. in which there was pieces of money varying from 5c to 50c. The cake was cut in it pieces and auc- tioned off, Mr Gordon Grant securing the Me section Altogether the cake realised 1 $12.05. . 1,,“ -“ no...“ The total proceeds from all sources amounted to $327.50 and is being emir-‘ ely used for work of the Vamey Red Cross branch, The program was not long but of good quality. Two dialogues were enjoyed. a recitation by Ruby Blyth. duett by Mis- ses Mead, solo by Miss Winnie. Blyth, and a chorus by the Varney Red Cross young people An amusing farce was put on at thel close when the young ladies of the section with their heads over the curtain recited the tollowing original poem ', "If the world was full of smiles It would be a world of bliss. But if the world was full oi frowns.

Pastor Whaley opened with devotional I exercises and presided during the Sessions. which proved to beharmonious. Many felt the absence of the late N. W Camp- bell, who ever took a prominent part in all that concerned the church and was a factor in its progress. His removal was fittingly referred to in the Session report which says "one of the most capable and useful members of the congregation was removed to higher and holier service.“ Mention was made also in the Report of the soldier losses of the year connected with the congregation, Ptes Coutts Warmington, Armstrong, McConnell, Lauder and Pinkerton, "who have paid the supreme sacrifice on the field of valor. The Session recognizes wi h chastened gratitude the splendid contribution of man-power already enlisted to fight tor the right. but it fears that at home, the dedication to and the sacrifice for, the principles for which the men are fighting at the front, are not commensurate to that made by the soldiers overseas." The statistics of the Report show 210 families contributing to General Fund and Missions, Members added during the year 3t, removed by death and otherwise 59, leaving a net membership of 4t2. The work among the young from the Cradle Roll, on up through the Primary classes, Bible classes, to the Adult Class conducted by the pastor, shows progress' and development of a missionary spirit.

Moffat, amonnt- ing to $541 and Dr. Jamietron's gift of $100. the rest being made up of teas, con- certs lectures and donations The contributions to the General fund of the Church amount to 82325, which is the largest in its history and the summary of net contributions for all purposes amounts to over 85600, just about 81000 ahead of 1916. I Messrs J. J. Smith, T. Turnbull, Dr. Pickering, Thos Bell, T. G. Lauder were elected Managers C Stewart McArthur, Oliver Hunter, Auditors ; J. s. Mcllraith John Snell, Ushers. The late Mr James Calvert made a be- quest of 8200 to the Mission funds of the church and a suitable appreciative record is to be made of it. A sum of 8100 was voted to the Ladies' Aid to assist in carrying on their import. ant Red Cross work. During the year they sent off 139 boxes to the boys over- seas, contributed about 3000 articles for soldiers comforts. the latter including 1031 pairs of socks. A feature of the afternoon was turning Mr Whaley out of the room and appoint- ing a new chairman, and the congregation proceeded to discuss stipend. A motion was made and seconded that the present stipend of 81300 be increased by 8100, which was declared unanimousy carried. 1he pastor was recalled and informed of the action and in warm and graceful terms _ 1 he thanked the congregation for their lib: erality. .

Mr Thos Jack, home from the west was called on and conveyed greetings from the west in a brief address, expressing his pleasure at the harmony and heartiness of the meeting. It January was trying to rival our IIS" ually cold Februarys, it will we fear have to take a back seat. The opening day or so of February was bearable but a cold dip began on Sunday, intensifying 6n Monday and Tuesday and beating all records this winter. Somebody got up‘ at the unearthly hour of 5 a. m. Monday and read the glass 40 degrees below zero, all glasses read in the 20's below at least and at no time during these two days was temperature above zero. What this means to places and persons shy of coal or wood may be imagined ( The movement for union of churches and ‘ other bodies has been greatly accelerated, ‘many schools have closed down and fam- ilies here and there are doubling up. The cities have sufferetrrnuch. A friend in Hamilton writes ; "We'll not soon for- get the rushing around to get coal this week. M any have been almost frozen, some had to borrow coal and old news- papers, boxes, charcoal, were all utilized to keep up heat. When coal did come it was baled out in half ton lots from the city hall. Hundredswere out at 7 o'clock I in front of the coal dealers offices and had l to wait an hour and a half or more to get an order in. There was danger of a riot sometimes. Women and kiddies can be seen hauling a bit oi coal in anything these days. Wood was offered as high as S20 a cord, coal $10.50, sometimes $11 50 and one firm charges 312.50 and haul itl yourself: AnotheWs $7 for half a ton of gas coke. A species of robbery right and left." There's surely need for a fuel controller there. The Fuel Controller has made a move and ordained that all manufacturing es- tablishments must close down Saturday, Sunday and Monday next. newspapers and food shops excepted. All theatres up l to March 27, must keep closed on Mon- days. These measures have a double value; they will actually save fuel and they will impress every one with the ne- cessity of conserving it at all points. The following accounts were passed ', l N. B.
