The club feels, therefore, that if the parents wish this service to their children to continue, they should convey their appreciation, where it is financially possible, in some tang- ible way, or else by becoming a. mem- ber of the club and‘ helping to share with others the burden of raising money. For a good many years, it has been the custom of this organization to pay for the hot cocoa given those children who take their lunches to school. During the last year 01' two the work of the club has fallen on the shoulders of a very few, with the result that the club’s activities have necessarily been devoted to the raising of money (the amount of cocoa being consumed remaining the same) which as everyone knows should not be the chief aim of such an organization. Already it has: been necessary to omit the dispensing of cocoa during December.

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS Following our usual custom at this season; of the year, we draw atten- tion to the potential danger to life and property from Christmas Decorâ€" ations, such as combustible draperies, scenery. cotton to represent snow. etc. Discplays of this nature, and the lighting arrangements in connection therewith, add- very considerably to the ordinary risks of fire. The lineâ€"up for the boys‘ was as follows: C. Clav’con and J. Weblb. forwards: B. Plollard. centre; M. Sawâ€" chuk and J. Lem'v, defence: subs, W. Beresford. L. Doner. R. Russell, M. Cooper, W. Camp-bell. We would also point out that should a1. accident involving fire oc- cur in a crowded store or meeting. the rapid spread: of flame in such flammable material is almost certain to occasion a panic with attendant risks to life. A few simple precau- tions may reduce the danger to a minimum. and these should be conâ€" sidered essential where large numâ€" bers of people, particularly children are gathered.“ Boys’ Sports The Sr. Boys basketball team play- ed' an exhibition game with Earl Haig C. I. last Friday night. It was a hard fought game from start to fin- ish. It wasn’t until the last quarter that R.H.H.S. finally won out. At half time the score was 18-16 for R.H.H.S. and‘ at three quarter time it was 23-22 for R.H.H.S. and during the last quarter the R.H.H.S. snipers scored 16 points to win the game 36-25. Mike Sawchuk and Bill Pollâ€" ard were high scorers with 12 points each. The"e wasn’t a sinqle plaver for to go scoreless. Mr. Teal of R.H.H.S. refereed- the game withéut fault. See that flammable material is clear of and not hung over heating and lighting devices, steam pipes, stove’pines, electricilighrt bulbs etc. Seé that your eleéffic circuits are properly fused and not overlspaded by the addition of temporary_llgh_’c§._ Examine your fire extinguishing- awiiances and see that they are sufâ€" ficient. in good order, and readily accessible. Remember that nothing can render these displays absolutely safe, and that if accidents are not to mar the festive season, constant vigilance and care must be exercised. See that all exits are plainly mark- ed‘ and not obstructed. Have all temoorary decorations re- moved and safer diaposed. of as soon as they haversel'ved >thexr purpose.

Atkinâ€" son. a son. Irvin Hoffer, Elmira drayman, has constructed a contrivance which al- lows him to sleep a little longer and still have the satisfaction of know. ing that his horses will be fed and ready for work by the time he has had his breakfast. It consists of an alarm clock, a rat trap, a piece of string, a spring catch and a weight. After filling the bins and setting the rat trap and then the alarm clock at the desired feeding time, Mr. Hoffer can retire at night with the assurâ€" ance that when he awakens next morning his horses will be fed. For when the alarm clock goes off the gadget which usually strikes the bell, sets off the rat trap, that in turn pulls a string which releases a catch that drops a weight to turn an iron pipe that opens the feed bins. If. has only failed once in the past year and that when a spring broke in the alarm clock. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 23 COWIEâ€"To Mr. and Mrs. James Cowie. Acton, Ontario.
