Work on the school near Clarke and Elgin streets is “well in hand" and Trustee Parker hopes it will be ready before Christmas. Chairman Bick and Trustee Parker were on a committee to recommend the naming of the new school and they suggested it be called the Clarke-Elgln SchOol until such time as the street in front of it is completed and named, then the name can be re- tained or changed as the incum- bent board sees fit.

Particularly well patronized was the rumpus room fair for the children, where the youngsters were entertained by a clown and magician, fished in the ever popular fish pond and gorged themselves at the refresh- ment bar. The co-ordinator of the rumpus room was Lorraine Denby and it looks as if she may have a permanent job on her hands, as anything so successful is certain to become an'annual feature of the fair. The men's baking contest cre- ated a great deal of interest. Roly Curtin carried off first prize for the most original cake with his entry â€" which bore legend in icing "Thornhill’s Last Well." There was the well, complete with horse and bucket on top of the well. It sold for $3.50 at the sub- sequent atiction sale. First prize in the Christmas decorated cake section went to Bill Lambert with a gorgeous cake almost a foot high in the shape of a Christmas tree, tinted green, and beautifully decorated. In the Party Cakesâ€"Irving Ford took first place with a birthday cake in the traditional white pink and green. All the cakes were made with Monarch cake mixes and the judging of 60 entries was done by Jane Adams of the Mon- arch Flour Company. Following the judging, the masterpieces were auctioned off â€"more or less riotously by Wil- lard Simpson: As expected, the Hat Boutique was very popular with the ladies and was pretty well sold out, realizing a profit of over $90.00. Mrs. J. J.. Buchanan, the conven- er of the Tea Room must have been well pleased at the rush of business done there, where so many people enjoyed the wel- come/afternoon tea with dainty sandwiches and cookies. Another unusual feature of the Holly Berry Fair was the County Store â€"stocked with just about any- thing you could imagineâ€"from groceries to dress goods, hand- woven ties to soft drinks. All the goods sold in the Country Store were new and had been donated. The Cookie Bar was very dec- orativeâ€"with the cookies done up in Holly Berry paper and ear- anwrap.

Money may have to be borrowed for November salaries pending the last installation of tax money due from Vaughan Township which is paid in De- cember. $85,000.00 had to be borrowed before the tax money arrived earlier this year. said Treasurer Ross Doan, necessitat- ing an outlay of $3,244.00 for bank interest.

It is a word, when written or spoken, that is weighted with meaning. Friend sug- gests personality and warmth. The quality of friend- liness is a living thing. The eyes speak of it. It is in the expression of the eyes where the warmth of friendly feeling is recognized. ‘ It is wonderful to watch the friendly people. They smile frequently. They look as though they love the world and everyone in it. If they receive a warm glance from someone, they return it wholeheartedly. It is dis- tressing for them when their friendly overtures are rewarded with stony or indifferent stares. Pity the ownâ€" ers of those stares for their barenness of soul! A smile or an interested look costs nothing except effort. Some- times the kindness of a friendly person can break through these hard shells of apathy and indifference, as the sun’s penetrating rays break through the clouds. It is like a miracle. In every hardened person, there is a seed of ten- derness and the longing to be liked. When that person realizes that people do care, something happens. The hard shell around the seed disappears. The warm feel- ing is released to grow and expand until the heart is pos- sessed by it. Another friendly person is born. A friendly person has certain qualities that makes him a good risk as a friend. He or she is one who re- joices at the accomplishments and good fortunes of oth- er people, and is ready to lend a sympathetic ear to those troubled by worry and frustration. A true friend is tolerant and would never thing of ridiculing the beliefs of others, and is human enough not to think any better of himself than he ought. He is not class-conscious or money-conscious to the extent that he is only friendly to those who can further his ambition or interest. Friendly people feel an inward glow of appreciation and good will to others. They cultivate an attitude of friendship to everybody and everything in the whole world. Friendly persons may have one of these qualities, perhaps two â€" or more â€"â€" but whoever they are, and wherever they are, I pay tribute to them. ‘ DOMESTIC .
