'The president et that time, •Gordon Ford, made the donation to •Gerald Godbolt, chairman of the band committee, Mr. Ford said he was im- pressed with the progress made • by the band and the chorus was pleased to contribute because it had .always tried to .encourage young musicians. Mr. Godbolt said the money would be used to buy an instru- ment which would bear an in- aciiption acknowledging the gift. Conductor'John. Ford, London, led the band, which was assist- ed. by his twin sons, Bill and Bob, along with two other young London musicians.

Bells, Green Add Decor Ring in Christmas this year with, one of our oldest and hap- piest holiday traditions . , . dec- orating with bells and ever- greens. You can still find sleigh bells in old country shops or you .can buy colorful new ones in any five and dime. Florist shops have evergreens, or you can col- lect your own in the snowy woods. • White, red and Scotch pine, cedar and balsam boughs make good indoor decoratirins because they don't lose their 'needles quickly. On the other hand, hem- lock and spruce last much lon- ger outdoors, advises Canadian Homes and. Gardens. For instance, you can deco- rate the outside of your door with ,a spray of hemlock and spruce, sparkling with gold bells hung on a gold cord. Finish it off with -a wide plastic. (for longer out- door wear) red ribbon. On the inside of your door a chain of brass Indian temple bells can tinkle a gentle welcome to your guests. Bell trees are fun and easy to make. Take a red paper cone and fasten it to a knitting needle stem with plasticine-filled bell for the base, trim with gold braid and pin on sleigh bells. For your huffet, make a tree - shaped frame of chicken wire with a length of broom handle for a trunk. Stuff squares of. red and white tissue paper into the frame and fasten jingle bells through each one with wire. Wedge the trunk into a pot filled with plastic snow, And for a striking doorway decoration, cover a bent coat hanger- with cedar and red rib- bon and hang three bells with a green ribbon. For an inexpensive Christ- mat card wall display, decorate a length of burlap with gold tape and sew, single hells top and bottom like a fringe. For „a hall table, decorate a large candle with gold grapes and rest it in boughs of Scotch and white pine which are light- ly glued. and sprinkled with gold. Accent with gilded pine cones and set in front of a mirror for maximum nighttime effect, a EXETER LEGION ) Fowl Binga Exeter Legion Hall WED., DEC. 17 Doors Open 8 Games Start 9 IS REGULAR.

The same situation applies to a lesser extent in parts of North- ern Ontario. Export demands are expected to be about the same as in re- cent years, but there are indica- tions that competition is becom- ing more keen. Garry and Rod- ney are the most popular va- rieties of oats in all areas. Brant, York, and Herta varieties of bar- ley outyield all others.
