Mr. Neil was on hand with his pictures, three being of national edu­ cation, and took all on pups through the Ca'nadian mountains, and too, along the rugged shores of the At­ lantic coast. The remaining two pic­ tures were comic and proved amusing to children young and old. The spirit of the .season was kept in mind by the slides which opened the show, when Rev. Ball, chairman, told the story of 'the Birth of Christ as it was flashed on the scene, afterwards leading in prayer. Christmas Carols were sung with Miss Bernice Day at the piano and the C.G.I.T. members assisting in the singing. Miss Mary Ritchie fav­ ored with the Highland Fling, and Max Hutcheson gave his recitation in which they got his idea of having to take castor oil. Then Santa “landed in” and gave them his own jolly mes­ sage and wished them a Merry Christ­ mas. At his request they sang his favorite carol “Silent Night” before they filed past him to receive their bag filled with oranges, nuts and can­ dy, which had been purchased and f ill--. ed by the local Women’s Institute, to whom we- extend our congratulations on another successful enterprise. GORRIE COUPLE 50 YEARS MARRIED Mr. and Mrs. Frank Cole Have Gold­ en Wedding Frank Cole and Miss Emma Grace Ashton, daughter of the late Mr, and Mrs. William Ashton, were married at the old Ashton Homestead on the 6th Con. of Howick, on Dec. 24th, I 1890, by Rev. Pring, of Fordwich. Fol-! lowing their marriage, they lived for a time near Belgrave, returning to this community, and 34 years Ugo moved into Gorrie, where they now reside. They have two daughters (Gertrude) Mrs. W. Schaefer of Fordwich, and (Cora) Mrs. Frank King, of Gorrie. One son. Nelson, died a number of years ago at the age of 14, We regret the fact that Mrs. Cole has been an invalid for the past three years, and her celebration will be cur­ tailed owing to this. However*, the bridesmaid of fifty years ago, Mrs. George Day, will be with her, Mrs. Day has been in constant attendance during the years of Mrs. Coles’ illness. To the already number of cards and congratulations, we too, add ours.

Mr. Ball, chairman, in his ad­ dress, reminded the audience how for­ tunate we are to have the children studying the music rather than the military tramp and all it stands for, The speaker’s words were brought out more clearly by*the numbers present­ ed by members of the Rhythm band, when Donald Irwin conducted the playing of “There’ll Always Be An England” “Silent Night” and “Away In A Manger”, and Bobbie Edgar con­ ducted “London Bridge” and “Twin­ kle, Twinkle”.
