The finishing touches have been put
on the set of the play “Alice-Sit-by-
tlie-Fire," which will be presented on
Wednesday and Thursday night of
this week. Dress rehearsal is usually
a hectic night at the best of times.
East Monday night was no exception
with a little hammering, sawing and
furniture moving going on at the
game time. This is the sort of thing
that is amusing to look back on, but
drives director^'frantic at the time.

Auxiliary Plans for
Hospital Opening
There was a very good attendance
at the December meeting of the
Ladies’ Auxiliary to Wingham Gen
eral Hospital, which was held in the
council chamber, with the president,
Mrs. R. E. McKinney, in the chair:
The attention was centred chiefly
around plans for the part which the
auxiliary would take in the open
ing of the new wing at the hospital
on Wednesday, December 7. New
drapes for the auxiliary sewing room
were in the process of being made and
arrangements for the preparation
and serving of refreshments were left
with the social committee.
The ladies in charge of the tuck
shop have received many volunteers
to assist in that project, the shop to
be open in the afternoons from 2
until 4, and in the evenings from 7
until 9. A schedule was being drawn
up to cover December and January
with one person in charge each day.
In addition to providing Christmas
decorations for the hospital, the
auxiliary decided to award prizes for
the window decorations. The New
Year babies are to 'be presented with
silver spoons, as is, also, any baby
born on the day of the opening of
the new wing. Authority was given
for the purchase of extra bedding
and towels. The d'ate of the annual
meeting was set for Friday, January
6, in the council chamber.

Council agreed with Mr. Alexander
on this matter, and it was decided to
write a letter to the service station
operators of town, asking them to push
the snow from their lots to some place
where it would not have to be removed
by the town.
Arena Needs Money
Reeve Roy Adair, chairman of the
arena commission, told council that
the arena commission needs money to
pay bills, and carry on for the winter
season. He said that at present the
British. Columbia spends more per
capita on. schools than any other Can
adian province. But it has the lowest
proportion of people who can. name
their Member of Parliament.
commisslori Is operating oil a hahd-td-
mouth basis, without sufficient funds
to pay its accounts as they come in,
and suggested that council advance
the commission $1,000 which, he esti
mated, would enable it to carry op
through the winter months. Council
agreed to advance this amount.
Mr. Adair also said that 'council
should Start thinking about building
a new front on the arena. He said that
the present front, which includes the
office and dressing rooms, is in a bad
state of repair, and that there is little
possibility of being able to fix it up
properly. He said that, because the
boiler at the nurses’ residence at the
hospital is not yet available, the com
mission has decided to postpone in
stalling it in the arena until spring,
and he suggested that at that time
work might be started on a new front.
Various estimates up to $50,000 were
made as to the cost of rebuilding the
arena front. No immediate action was
taken on the matter.
