It is famous for its Sunday afternoon teas, informal chats and discussions, and friendly atmos­ phere, Mrs. Baraham, to the regret of her many friends, but with their blessings, left last Saturday, Dec. 15th, for her home and retirement. Many gathered the evening prior to her leaving to wish her well, Mrs, Baraham is to be succeeded by Mrs. Bobeau, who has been transferred from Rodkcliffe, and she will be assisted by Miss Henderson, who was transferred from Moncton.

The contest between the Senior N.C.O.’s and the Airmen will de­ termine who will meet the Main­ tenance team in the sudden death finals in the Station Floor Hockey League. The Maintenance team wound up as undisputed top rung leaders. From past performances, they have been picked as contending winners but anything can happen in Floor Hockey. As the Floor Hockey season draws to a close, the Basketball and Ice season rapidly approach. A group have already been drilling hard on the Basketball Court, in preparation for the picking of a Station ’Team. Rumor has it, that the Station are seriously thinking of forming a Hockey Team, and if the boys set the same pace on the frozen surface, as they did last year in the local Hockey O.H.A. League, the$ should again be con­ tenders of this districts title. With the weatherman putting on a rug­ ged but steady grip, rinks should be ready for icing and enable the Station to field an Inter-Station League, and permit everyone the pleasure of a twirl on silver blades. w w w Christmas this year will be cele­ brated by a dance in the 'Station Drill Hall. The orchestra, directed ■ by Merv. Himes, will play for the dancers. Christmas is being also well atoned in all of the messes as they are well decorated with greens, lights and Christmas trees. The carols jetsoned over the Chapel Public Address iSystem lends well i to the spirit of the season. Of course, turkey and cranberry sauce Will .go well for those who will be i staying on the Station for Christmas Day. A big New Year’s Hop has been planned to celebrate New Year’s Eve, with hats, horns and whistles. With the conclusion of this column the Centralia No. 1 Flying and Training School personnel wish everyone, a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
