P. Chaffee, sup­ erintendent, expressed deepest appre­ ciation for the many donations of Clothing, gifts, money, fowl and food parcels made to the Society for dis- tribution during the Christmas season. The Society's offices, located in Gode­ rich at 165A Lighthouse Street, be­ came a veritable Santa Claus work­ shop, as the staff, assisted by board members and volunteer helpers, soil­ ed, wrapped and delivered the parcels to all corners of the county. Many Mrt. Elizabeth Brawn jotted tfoie&JtateJ- It was early in the morning. Seeping coal gas fumes had all but overcome a little girl and two women in a suburban Toronto home. One of the women, Mrs. Mary Hague, struggled to the telephone and barely managed to dial “Operator” before collapsing. Unable to get any response, the night operator, Mrs. Elizabeth Brown, immediately notified the police. Within minutes the victims were reached and revived. Through her prompt action three lives were spared. Quick thinking in an emergency has made a heroine of many a Bell oper­ ator, for most people turn to the telephone for help in all kinds of trouble—often rely on the operator for assistance. There may never come a time when you need the fire department, police, or a doctor in a frantic hurry — but isn’t it a comfort to know that behind your telephone are people on wide-awake duty 24 hours a day ? -flash donations were also, received, and the money spent on special gifts, food baskets and other needed items.

A happy event again this year was th© RCAF party at the Radio School, children from different parts of the county were guests of the RCAF. They wore treated to a wonderful af­ ternoon, and were sent home beautiful gifts. Several organizations asked names of families or children would welcome gifts or food at Christ­ mas, and then delivered turkeys, blankets, groceries and boxes of gifts to these homes.
