Altogether 28 tables offered u wonderful variety pf crafts, baked goods, gifts and plants, as well as the intriguing selection available on the Lioriess White Elephant stall. The bake stall was amply supplied, and quickly sold out, as a result of the efforts of the -�Jnited ._._Cliurch ladies. The support of local merchants in providing stalls was much ap- preciated by the organizers. Mid-day visitors were able to stop for a snack and in the afternoon the 'visitors refreshed themselves with tea and cookies; In addition to the op- portunity of making purchases, there was always the chance of a lucky win on one of the many raffles and draws that went on throughout the day. The Targe. -attendance must certainly have satisfied the organizers and workers, whose tremendous efforts in setting things up and providing the refresh- ments were a wonderful example of co-operative effort. ACW see Holland lifestyles The St. Andrew's day service ' held on December 2 was well attended by members of Trinity Anglican Church ' ACW. A communion -service was held at which the Rev. Wm. Bennett officiated and Lillian Higgins read the epistle. -The ladies and their guests, Canon F. H. Paull, Mr. Bennett, Rev. D. pitts and Rev. G. Youatoff then enjoyed a pot luck lunch in the parish hall where the tempting dishes were enhanced by the cheerful Christmas table arrangements. N The speaker was Mrs. Jeanne Bennett and she gave an account of some of the highlights of a visit to Holland last summer. "These included a description. of the largest htiThour in the world at Rotterdam as well as cameos of this small but delightful country where a population of 14 million people exist in an area of 16,000 square acres. Much of this land has been reclaimed from the water and 20 percent of th-e_-area.--._is_cov-ered b_y lakes,°rivers and canals. Recalling first im- .essions, Mrs. Bennett mentioned the profusion of flowers which greeted them everywhere they went - in gardens, at windows andin the outdoor markets. Housing requirements are met by large apar- tment buildings with only a small ` proportion of single family houses. The old houses, some of which date back to medieval times, border the canals, narrow, tall and well proportioned' with magd'ificent windows which extend from floor to ceiling. Mrs. Bennett's family are fortunate to occupy one of these because accommodation is . a major problem, rents are prohibitive, many people being forced to resort to houseboats on the canals, often without service hook-ups. Discharge of sewage is a major, problem requiring frequent water renewal. Remarking on the three main characteristics, Mrs. Bennett said they had. been impressed by the strong family orientation in the lifestyle of the Dutch _people, the— tremendous popularity of the bicycle as a means of At the rink The Bayfield Mixed Curling League played their sixth round of regular season games last Sunday night • ' It was a night featuring the battle of the un- defeated rinks and a night that saw the remainder of the rinks bunch closer together indicating the equality of the competition among the club. In the early draw at 7 p.m. the 'Scotty' McVean Rink (2-4) slipped past the Alice Brandon Foursome (3-3), out - pointing them 161/ to 43/4. On the sot a surface, Joe Brandon (2-4) improved his record with a win over Joe Koene (3-3). The ice at centre featured the battle of the Telford brothers as Roy's Rink (2-4) scored 163/4 points against George's (3-3) 61/4 points. The highlight of the late draw at 9 p.m. was the battle of the only two undefeated rinks and when it was over, Morris Sauve (6-0) extended his streak and Matty Francis (5-1) went down to an 18-3 defeat. Jerry Uniac (3-3) jumped on Don Lindsay (3-3) by a 171/4 to 41/4 score and Bill Talbot (3-3) knocked off Bob Orr (2-4) in the other two contests. After six weeks of play the Morris Sauve Rink now leads the standings with 1041/4 points, followed by Matty Francis with 921/ and Bill Talbot with 64. Men's Curling The newly -formed Bayfield Men's Curling League was into its third week of play on Monday night with the single draw On the south surface, Bill McIIwain (241) defeated Bob Orr (0-3) by a 13-21/2 margin.

Memories of the war were undimmed, and the appreciation of the role which Canadians played in the liberation of their country was frequently reaffirmed._ Further evidence was witnessed on a visit to a beautifully maintained cemetery where: members , of the British and Polish Air- borne divisions, who had died at Arnhem were interred, many with a simple epitaph - "Known Only to God". Referring to the times of religious perseXution in the 17th century Mrs. Benet told of the churches 'in houses'. One in par- ticular, the `Church in the Attic' had been preserved and services were still held in the original building. Concluding her talk, Mrs. Bennett invited the members to look thr,pugh the comprehensive collection of pictures' which she had brought along with her. Miss Kay Reid ex- pressed the thanks of all those present -__for -thrs fascinating glimpse of contemporary life in Holland. Mrs. Higgins on behalf of the members also asked for a show of appreciation for the work - of the president, Mrs. Ev Earl, not only in organizing the day's proceedings, but also in undertaking the responsibility for the packing and despatch of the bale for the missions.
