Ogden on Thursâ€" day afternoon last, and judging from the splendid response to the roll call ~there was definite reason for the tinge of “Ould Ireland” in the air as each member told her Irish joke in her own inimitable way, creating a fine atmosphere for the delightful program that followed. The speaker of the afternoon was Mrs. J. H. Chant who told of the in- teresting life of that patron Irish saint, St. Patrick, who, though born of Roman extraction, did so much for the Irish people, traversing the length and breadth of Ireland preaching and founding churches. He was made a Bishop and it is said spoke of the Shamrock leaf that afterwards be- came the emblem of \Ireland as sym4 bolic of the Holy Trinity. St. Patrick died March 17th 493 and was buried in Gall. A humorous reading entitled “Biddy’s Trials among the Yankees" and cleverly given by Mrs_ R. J. was a popular’MI‘S. W. J.

VOLLEY BALL NOTES Volley ball activities were resumed on Tuesday evening of this week All players were noticeably pleased to be back again, after an absence of two weeks. Practice matches ar- ranged for the evening were entered into with real zest. In, response to- an invitation to Elgin Mills, a team was available from that quarter. The Elgin boys enthusiastically entered into the spirit of the game, and after becomâ€" ing more familiar with rules during the first match, their able style of play was sufficient to demand unex- pected defence measures on the part of their opponents, and favorable comment from bystanders. It is ex- pected that this group will again be present this season. I Other groups are slated for intro- ductory matches before the close 01' the season. Volley ball helps to fill a need at this particular time of year when a between season period divides ice sports and outdoor recreation. Make your Canadian dollars have more cents.
