The usual large donation of gifts for the White Gift service was receiv- ed at the annual service held in Cen- tral United Church last' Sunday morn- ing with Rev. A. E. Owen officiating. During the service the story of “The Other Wise Man” was interpreted ’by the Pastor, a short sketch “The Candle” was given by Joan Sabiston, Evelyn Warne, Edna Rainey and Mar- jorie Sanderson, with Marjorie Wheat- ley’s class of fifteen girls With lighted LUI‘UHLU me Dasxet of groceries. The Rector, Rev. J. J. Robbins, and the congregation are to be congratu- lated upon this successful event. In spite of unfavorable weather con- ditions, the annual Bazaar and Supl ‘per under the auspices of St. Philip's Anglican Church was a decided suc- cess. The ladies of the congregation upheld their reputation for serving a splendid meal and the articles of- fered for sale were of high quality and many suggested appropriate Christmas gifts. The fish pond gave amusement to both young and old and the candy booth also an attraction. In the lucky number contests Mrs.‘ W. Hawkins drew the quilt, Mrs. John Dukes the ducks and Miss Arnold of‘ Toronto the basket of groceries. i â€"Selected. It was a merry party of W.I. mem- bers and their friends that assembled at the home of Mrs. J. A. Gibson, Main Street, on Thursday afternoon last for the annual Christmas party. The festive surroundings were in ac- cordance with the Christmas spirit that teemed throughout the evening’s activities, the roll call was responded to by an appropriate Christmas thought and a delightful item on the. program was the interpretation by Mrs. G. R. Whaley of the poem “The‘ Little Gray Lamb” that was written' by Arthur Sullivan and appeared in a Globe newspaper published many years ago. That Santa Claus had al- ready made a visit was evidenced by the array of gifts tht peeped out from i the huge stockings hung in front of; an improvised fire place. The grand. march around for inspection and then r for the distribution of the gifts was] not the least enjoyable activity of the afternoon either. The president, Mrs. E. E. Braithwaite, was in charge of the meeting, with Mrs. W. J. Perkin! and Mrs. N. Ogden assisting in the} gift distribution and Mrs. W. J. Rus- sell, Mrs. W. Nash and Mrs. A. K. Harrington leading in the Carol sing-| ing. Afternoon tea served at suit-E ably decorated small tables, centred with yellow Chrysanthemums conclud- ed a very happy event. Hostesses for the afternoon were Mrs. J. A. Gibson. Mrs. C. H. Stiver, Mrs. G. Court, Mrsi J. H. Chant and Miss E. Austin. That thirty-two interested young Jellows are all lined up and ready for action in the Bull Dog Boy Scout troup for 1936 was signified at the opening meeting held in the New- Market at Community Gardens recent- ly. A right good time is reported, lots of good games and plenty of eats to finish up on. The resignation of Scout Master G. G. Maynard was re- ceived at this meeting and sincerely regretted by the boys who appreciate the good leadership Mr. Maynard has always given and as a small token of this appreciation a desk set was presented along with a host of good wishes from the boys. Mr. Howard Stiver is the new Asst. Scout Master. Patrols have already been formed and keen competition is evident. The reward for the high score is a trip to the Maple Leaf Hockey Game. Shortly the boys will visit you look- ing for warm used childrens clothing so, bear this in mind when planning your relief contributions. The Ivisit of Field-Secty. Padden of Toronto to the troup last week gave the boys a thrill that made a good start for the winter’s activities. The leaders of the Patrols are as follows: Beavers, Ian Barron; Eagles, Reg. Perkin;' Swifts, Johnnie Coulson; Otters, Ron- ald Smalley. This worth while organization that means so much to the boys of the community should have the support of every citizen.
