H. lNeil on Thursday, December 12. The ,president, Mrs. R. Holmes, presided land the roll call was answered by donations for the Xmas baskets. The speaker, Miss Marjorie Davis. dieti- tian from the Games and Fisheries Dept, gave valuable information re- garding the advisability of adding more fish to the household menu. She cooked and served filleted white fish with dressing. smoked fillet of fin and haddie, fish chowder and a de- lectable lobster salad. All those Who attended the meeting are to receive a book of lobster recipes and a sec- ond book containing 100 fish recipes. n r ' This week is indeed a busy one for the many young folks partici- pating in the various Xmas enter- tainments. On Wednesday evening a good crowd attended the United Church to hear the splendid pro- gram given by the members of the Sunday School. The program con- sisted of recitations, songs and gay little skits and the young ones cer- tainly deserve credit for the excell- ent evening’s fun provided by them. They were however well rewarded when the big moment came for which W WWWWOQW Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Jackson, Thornhill, were week-end guests at the Georgian Bay Country Club, Penetang. We are pleased to report that Miss Evelyn Dean is well again after sev- Ieral days sickness. It will be interesting to many in Thornhill to know that Dick Borth- wick, well known through“ his asso- ciation with the Thornhill golf club, leaves this week to take over the position of professional at the Santo Domingo Golf and Country Club at Cindad, Trujillo, Dominican Repub- lic, Haiti. It is a nine hole course and Dick will be the first profes- sional ever employed at the club. He has been operating a golf school in Toronto for the past nine winters but heads for the warm climate this winter. m; u) glVE donations are requested to send same to the above address not later than the above date. TWO beautiful and inspiring ser- vice-s were held at the United Church last Sunday. In the morn- ing the annual White Gift service was held when the members of the Sunday School entered the church each bearing a g1“; and were re- ceived by Misses Betty Bone and Marjory Jamieson who placed the gifts about the altar and the two illuminated Christmas trees. The gifts were later transpcrted to the Fred Victor Mission in Toronto to be distributed among the needy. In the evening the choir present- ed their annual Candlelight carol service. Tall flickering tapers in white standards which were placed in the aisles, and a profusion of candles on the Communinn +aHo wmve standards which were placed in the aisles, and a profusion of candles on the communion table, pulpit and organ console, cast a soft glow over the congregation as the choir entered, each member carrying a lighted candle and singing Christ- mas carols as they made their way about the church. They sang two Christmas numbers, “We have seen His Star" and “The Birthday of a King”. Rev. E. A. Currey delivâ€" ered very fitting messages on both occasions. a book of lobster recipes and a sec- ond book containing 100 fish recipes. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed Miss Davis’ lecture and delicious cooking and resolve to eat more fish and in fact the local butcher was completeâ€" ly sold out of a large stock of fish over the week-end.
