These helped fill in what started out to be a dull evening. In the group were beau­ tiful pictures of Lake Louise and the West Coast, and skiing pictures in the Laufentians. These were followed by three pictures from the Dominion Government: “The Lion Has Wings”, “Australia Has Wings” and “Building a Bomber.” Prior to picture time, our good friend, Mr. Lloyd Hodgson, from Centralia, arrived at the “Y” office with three large hampers of delicious pears which were .distributed at the con­ clusion of the pictures. This gen­ erous donation on the part of Mr. Hodgson added greatly to the eve­ ning’s pleasure. The Station cer­ tainly is developing some wonder- ; ful friends. | The recreation hall was crowded • to capacity on Friday evening when ' we saw “Captain Fury”. This was i the most popular picture we have J shown. When the final curtain ! came down, people lingered on as if hoping there would be more to see. ■ Monday night we had the picture j “Lillian Russell”, a comedy drama1 starring Henry Fonda,. Alice Faye, Edward Arnold'and Warren William.

The* final score was t16-4 and best of all, the collection ' was forty-one dollars, which has been shared between the Red Cross 1 and the War Time Committee. It was great to see all of our village friends cheering for the Station. Games like that tend to build up a great spirit of fellowship between the Station ajnd the community. ;Hats off to our Station band!
