Sporting Goods Give White Gifts Welcome Gifts To Victor Mission Once the tinsel, ribbon and wrappings have been cleared away, enthusiastic youngsters put their Christmas gifts to rug- ged use. Moderately priced gifts of sporting goods last long- er and mean more fun for act- ive, imaginative children all year -- long after expensive but fragile toys have been dis- carded. What more natural gift for a boy and girl at first frost line than ice skates with durable leather shoes? Slip a pair of windproof gloves into the pack age, and guarantee a warm child as well as a happy one. The young athlete in the family will loudly acclaim a gift of a softball, a baseball, or boxing gloves and punching bag. Each is a sure fire hit with a build -in bonus in plea- sure and health. When you buy your Little Leaguer a new baseball glove, don't forget one for his father who doubles as coach and catcher. For the younger boy there is a handsome jacket with fringed cuffs and waistband. BLUEVALE-Rev. 0, C, Mitchell conducted the White Gift service in the United Church on Sunday morning and spoke of the compelling words of the Biblical writers in their description of the life of the Christ Child, who was born in Bethlehem.

Senior classes had beautifully decorated the church with greenery, colored lights and Christmas trees. The setting, the children's singing and the minister's ad- dress made a memorable white gift service. The gifts will be sent to the Fred Victor Mission, Toronto. jmi. .10 (41 Angels S • IS Tit Rejoice, He is born in Bethlehem.
