THREE KINDS OF GIVING Someone has said that there are three kinds of givers: the flint, the sponge and the honeycomb. To get anything out of the flint you must hammer it, and you get chips and sparks. To get water out of a sponge you must squeeze it, and the more you squeeze it the more you get. But the honey comb just overflows with sweetness. At the Christmas meeting of the Evening Auxiliary of the United Church, held Tuesday, December 20, the following officers \xere elected for the coming year: President, Miss E.

Nomination meetings for Mark- ham and Vaughan Township will be held at Unionville and Vellore Mon- day afternoon, December 26th. Nom- inations for the various offices will be received from one until 2 o’clock after which the members of the 1938 council and any aspiring candidates will address the meeting. So far in- dications are that there will be acâ€" clamations in both townships, but op- position to the present members may develop before nomination day. As many people will be celebrating Christmas on Monday which is a legal holiday it is possible the atâ€" tendance at the nomination meetings may not be as large as usual. The scarcity of any opposition to the councils is also likely to decrease in- terest in the nomination proceedings. There’s nothing like the prospect of some fireâ€"works to bring out a large crowd. If there’s any fire-works In the offing it certainly has not been much in evidence throughout the townships. "In Essentials, Unity; In_Non-essentials.
