First Game of Series Apparently thieves were busy on the last day of Markham Fair as wires were removed from ex- hibits late in the afternoon. It might be as well to keep an eye out for some one who is en- tering churches with intent to rob. Last spring a man was ap- prehended on this count but was let go for lack of concrete evi- dence. Recently a church in Thornhlll was entered during the service, causing concern. Rob Fair Exhibits Browns’ Corners United Church was beautifully decorated for Sunday morning's Thanksgiving service by members of the Y.P.A. Rev. A. F.

Every effort is made to give the benefit of these classes to all children who will reach the age of five years by December 31 of this year. To meet the demand for/these classes it has been necessary, in some cases, to employ two instructors and, in other classes to reduce the num- ber of periods of instruction per week from five to four half-days.
