Our favorite OPP officer. Tommy Sanford, had the honor of drawing Dina Brewer's ticket for a prize. The branch's Abe Lincoln Viv Palmer drew the next number 776167. But the holder of this ticket was long gone. Marsh Tanner drew the next number. 776364. Again the holder was among the missing. Bob Walker then came up‘ with a big number and this was held by Edie Titshau. - , Between laughing at the in- sults that Ray and Jim kept handing to one another and scoring a few euchres it was a howling success. If any mem- bers get the chance to take on some of these fellows â€" well you will find the time well spent. Thanks chaps. HAPPY GANG “375". Friday evening members of 375 and their guests were treated to some very wonderful entertain- ment when members of the. ladies auxiliary presented their annual show. Although strictly amateurs, these girls put on a show of professional calibre. l Cole? 0: did the tunes played by Glenn Miller. Tommy Dorsey.

The other evening your re-'l‘c~lt~lze',; porter had the pleasure of sit-i. ting in on a game of euchre with: Ray Dennis. Jim MacDonald and'Yorl‘ George Morrison. Our part-. ner was George Morrison and we sort of won a few games. 4â€"H During the time of play what gion s) laughs Were had by all. Iqeptim The stripper -â€" now there was something that had every- one going. How about the two- headed monster. How on earth did they find a costume to fit those two chicks? Maybe poor Abbies' plight had you in stitches. Gosh girls, keep on like this and We will lose you to Broadway. It was that type of a show. These girls spent many a long'drun‘ practice period getting things kept to their satisfaction and their (ions only reward was the fact that They they gave an hour or two that keep will long be remembered. they We understand that there are C01?“ many bookings for this show and May would like to extend our heart-lCWEJ iest congratulations for a sup- mgr" berb effort. lbest What a night! Winners galorel‘ Yes. the branch members and their guests were sure win- ners but there were others even luckier. A basket of good-1 ics-ticket drawn by Joan Dick- son â€"- was won by Mrs. Jean Lancaster of Toronto. Gior- ia Sanford then had the pleasure of drawing Mrs. Alice, Shaw‘s ticket for the next prize.‘ Mrs. Shaw is also from Toronto. At which skit did you laugh hardest? There was so much material to bring back old mem- ories that one was hard put to find a spot that couldn't amuse. Following the show Cowie and Ken Birch market provided the music for our pleasure. One day last week yours truly was calmly walking along one‘ of the business thoroughfares minding her own business and happened to bump into the matron of Bedlam Abbey Wouldn't you know it. we got "joed" into joining the task force cleaning (Christmas time is on the way). Can some one please help a poor hard working reporter and tell me how we can get out. of these things? Oh well. we all pitched in and got the cleaning done and thought we had time to relax. Didn’t know that the "Abbey" had so many rooms! Finally staggered off home and to our trundle bed with more aches than Carter has liver pills. Did you sing along with the Ink Spots, Andrews Sisters_. Nag While at Bedlam Abbey wel were introduced to the newest! Inmate â€"- a white mouse no less. Let’s see what the score is now. One white mouse. a hamster. one silly cat. numerous pheasants lstill untamed), a raccoon named Peanuts and many different species of birds that are all named by the human inmates. Don‘t ask your reporter howl they know which bird is which â€" they all look alike to us. I Happened to hear of a few birthdays floating around. Sorry to say Color-Guard Sergeant Gard Kettridge was missed, but do hope that he had a very happy day. Big Bob Walker had himself a happy time November 27. He shared his day with a} crew from Branch 375 that turned up at 426 to celebrate St! Andrew‘s Night. To any of you‘ nice people that had something to celebrate over the past little' while. our sincere best wishes and may you all have many more. ’ Speaking of celebrating. those proud new grandparents â€"â€"- Ivor and Ethel Buck are still giving a very warm welcome to Master Kevin Richard who entered into this vale of woe November 22. Do hear that grandpa has out- fitted the newest arrival with football and hockey gear. What a Christmas Day Master Kevin is going to have!

He first asked the question, “What is a good citizen?” then went on to explain the rights of each Wednesday members of Branch 426 put in an appearance to get revenge for the beating they took last week in cribbage and euchre. They did. Others took on our lads at shuffleboard and darts. Don‘t know just how we made out in those two contests. Went home to lick our wounds. Next time around we sure are planning on clobbering them. Got to stop. the newest in- mate just nibbled the ribbon off the spool. Drat the beastie! Would you like to be a proud member of 1'78 Squadron of the 'Air Cadets? You can. To qualify you must be between the ages of 13 and 18. Once a member, you may participate in the many activities. You may have a flair for flying. or maybe you like guns. If you have no particular hobby, you will find something in the program you will like. Things were very quiet around the home branch on the night of November 27. So a few of us decided to make a social visit to Branch 426 in New. market and share in the fun of the St. Andrew's Dance put on by members of the pipe band. What a smashing success this was! Whatever the lads put their minds to is bound to be a suc- cess. Of course the highlight of the evening was the display put on by the pipe band itself. Their dressing was perfect and the music played as only they can play it. Seventeen pipers 12 drummers and one bass drum kept receiving standing ova- tions after each performance. They were well earned. If they keep up such performances. they are bound to sweep all competitions that they enter. Ma'y we extend our heartiest congratulations for a wonderful night and wish you the very best for the coming year. Lovely ladies in gorgeous gowns, good dancing music pro‘ vided by the George Cowie quartet and things were off and running.

But the majority are able to be with their families only during school vacation times, sum- mer. Christmas and Easter. ! Spokesman for the delegation was Richmond Hill Councillor Gordon‘Rowe whose 17-year-old daughter is a pupil in residence at the school. He brought the attention of the trustees to recent revisions in provincial legislature which authorizes boards to provide transportation {or resident pu- 'pils to and from various schools (or the handicapped. including Ontario schools for the deaf. NEED FAMILY LIFE "It would appear that the purpose of this legislature is to try to provide the means where- by these handicapped children may. by the weekly home visits, be integrated more closely to the family life rather than the institution," said Rowe. He said it is important to the emotional development of the child to have "education tem- pered with love." And this. he felt, could best be achieved through regular and frequent exposure to the normal atmos- phere of the home.

Aurora Trustee Keith Nisbet asked if the parents would be able to assemble the children at‘ a central pickâ€"up point if bus service to and from the school was provided. Rowe replied that a group taxi service might be arranged. At present. he said, there are some car peols operating at parent expense. The Mixed Blessings sang ‘some of their numbers and a group from St. Paul‘s. Newmar- kct. also contributed to the mu- sical Side of the program. A large delegation ,from the Church of the Transfiguration. Toronto, was present. A rehearsal for the pageant to be presented December 19 was held Sunday (a little earlier than usual so the men could be home in time for the televised Grey Cup game). The spiritual life fellowship at the deanery was scheduled to meet Monday and the ad- visory board on Tuesday. This makes it more difficult for those who are not, able to be with their families. They feel neglected, said Rowe. )NVOLVES 18 CHILDREN Sixteen York Region families have 18 children at the school. It is about 20 miles southeast of Brampton, said Rowe.
