The feeling among the curlers is
increasingly in favor of brine rather
than direct expansion for their arti-
ficial ice installation. The brine system
will cost more but it will permit the
use of the curling ice for skating, and
the curlers are anxious that their ice
shall provide the children with oppor-
tunities for skating until such time as
artificial ice is installed in the Arena.
They have in mind an extended period
for skating at the beginning of the
season and during the season at least
two skating periods a week, and a per-
iod on Saturday morning for figure
skating.
They have learned that other curl-
ing clubs offer their artificial curling
ice for skating for the children and
that there is no difficulty in preparing
the ice for curling after a period of
skating. It is the hope of the curlers
that their artificial ice' will have a place
in the recreation program of the com-
munity.
It is a matter of encouragement to
the local curling executive that such
interest is ,being manifested by sur-
rounding communities in The artificial
curling projeet. The fellowship' of
curling will thus provide another bond
to consolidate our larger community.
So far the financial campaign has
gone surprisingly well. It may be that
Several non-curlers who are concerned
that the children shall have skating
will feel likesupporting the curlers'
ambitious undertaking, ,The campaign
will run only for another two weeks,

Two weeks ago the United Church
Missionary film, "The head of the
borne of Wang", had its first showing.,
before a crowded gathering in the
Metropolitan United Church, London,
Last Sunday evening the folk of the
United Chtirch, Win'ghani, enjoyed
this same privilege. l)r. Kenneth Beat-
on and Rev. Anson Moorehouse did
the photography for tins picture in
China a year ago, The script 'was
voiced by Dr. Williarci Brewing, mod-'
erator of the General Council of the
United Church. This picture answers
the question, how does an average
Chinese family come into the fellow-
ship of the Christian Church? It is
when the youngest son of the house
of Wang is injured- and is taken to a
Christian hospital that the was opens.
It is a matter of local interest that the

CURLERS COMMENT
OPEN NEW STORE
AT CHATHAM
The following item was taken from
the Chatham Daily News Feb. 25th,
and tells of the success of a former
Winghamite, Jack Herd, one of the
partners.
Kent County got its first peek to-
day at something radically even sur-
prisingly different in modern mer-
chandising, The official opening of
Boyes & Herd Men's Store at 143
King St., in Chatham was the occasion
for "Ohs and ahs."
No ordinary facelifting of an old
building, the presentation of Boyes
and Herd shop provided something to
talk about, and something to see.
For the first time, modern designing
and professional interior decorating
have been teamed to give atmosphere
that is bound to ring the bell with
men and the women who shop for
them."

Why does the Canadian Red Cross
need $5,000,000 in peacetime?
Today the Red Cross is working
just as hard to hold the peace as the
Society did to help win it.
There are many problems to be
worked out in any country after years
of -du and Canada is no exception.
There are problems of health; of
young people needing guidance; of
isolated families in need of medical
and dental care. New Canadians who
have arrived in our country and need
help in becoming citizens. There are
veterans who are still serving, lying
on hospital beds, who are blind or
crippled. There are the people of
Europe, people who have not only
lived through years of war and devas-
tation but are now living through
cold, hunger and privations.
These are just a few of the things
that are in need of your money to
carry on—these are a few of the needs
your dollar will fill.
The local campaign with John P.
McKibbon as chairman, will start this
week. When the canvasser calls on
you, make your donation as generous
as possible.
