The show by a tiny girl who sang OC- Of- Alf the to was songs Tibbs most home stolen of the West accompanied by her two sisters, and she left, “The Sweetheart of Centralia." Dancing, novelty numbers, chorus and solos combined to make an excellent pro­ gram that was enjoyed by the Sta­ tion members and civilian friends. The Stage Show was followed by an All Ranks dance, for which our Station orchestra played. These short dances are always enthusias­ tically enjoyed. \ LAW, Chevarie, in a costume of black lace and crimson taffeta, in­ cluding a mantilla, typified every­ one's idea of a senorita from Sunny Spain. Canada was well represented by such beauties as LAW. Galland, from New Brunswick, wearing a. powder blue formal trimmed with black satin, And LAW. Sparrow, also from New Brunswick, wearing a dress of peach net ovei’ taffeta, of the same color,. The boys were representative of England, Scotland, Wales, U.S.A., and our not-to-be-forgotten lads from Australia, Dancing music was provided by our Station orchestra and was real­ ly in the groove. The lads have been cooking with gas of late. I mean the kind that isn’t rationed. Of course when, it came to costumes the orchestra walked away the first prize. Especially Godwin and Haskett. Prizes were given for spot cing, too and they really worth writing home about, if your reporter many use a touch of slang. Time now for all weary ghosts to retire to their shrouds and be­ have themselves for another year. And all fellows and gals, may this be one more pleasant memory in your book of Enjoyable Times. LAW.

We had a serum tious supper at the 'Central Hotel, Everyone was, in good spirits and there was much joking about the small sopranos eating more than the heavy base. One of the girls from, the Met Section was embarrassed when she dropped the sauce bottle in her tomato juice-- was her face red! After supper we went to the show as the guests of the manage­ ment, for which we say again, “Thank You.” Some kind soul should instruct our choir leader the proper time to laugh and also tell him the meaning of the term, “contempt of court." We had a dandy evening and are looking forward to many more Anyone on the Station who likes to sing/is invited to join us..

Brass Band Activities Here it is, almost Armistice Dayj again and Cpl. Frank Shortt and his musicians of the Station Brass Band are striving to perfect them­ selves in Parade in iasm runs so we know it will be a good show. And no more over-loaded music lyres! Through the generous per­ mission of our Commanding Officer, music pouches were manufactured They greatly simplify selecting the sheets of music, especially while on the march. A very warm invitation is ex­ tended to.any of the newer personel of the Station who at one time play­ ed any instruments pertaining to a brass band, because as the old saying goes, the more the merrier. Any potential musicians should con­ tact the bandmaster, Cpl. Shortt, or the secretary. Our recent Brass Band Banquet | was a very successful affair, with all members enjoying themselves immensely. The banquet adjourned with a happy sing-song and dance, Madame Andreva, the well-known opera singer, during her program here recently, Remarked that our Brass Baud is excellent. Her sing­ ing was so good that the feeling of the boys in the Band was to let her sing instead of our playing intermittently. She gave a splendid performance and so did the Brass Band. preparation for the big Exeter, Nov. 12. Enthus- liigli among the members, Sgt. Joe Swartz, Sec'y Station Brass Band.
