ALONG with a large number
of 'townspeople, we thoroughly
enjoyed the RCAF Chorus, at, a
'concert held in the Town Hall
under the auspices of the Baptist
Church Thursday evening last...
Under, the leadershipof F/L C.
L. Harding, the group presented
a nicely balanced program of
folk song, negro spirituals, sacred
and popular songs .., . Intersper-
sed among these, were five vocal
solos by F/O W. J. P. Robertson
and F/L R. A. B. Ellis, and both
eiano and organ selections by,
gt. H. V. Boyes
;r. d, a
SINCE organizing early in the
year, the chorus has been most
generous with its time and talent
in assisting local groups .. . The
community should be very proud
and grateful that such fine young
men live within its midst and are
willing to devote so much time
,o such an enterprise . . To
odd' to the enjoyment of the
concert, the chorus brought along
a Hammond organ and also un-
usual lighting effects . .

THE CHORUS presented its
concert in Goderieh Sunday
evening in aid cf Manitoba Re-
lief Fund and again in Auburn
tonight and in Seaforth Sunday
for the same good cause . .

A BLOSSOM TEA . . T h e
very words spell an attraction
which is hard to resist on a lovely
May afternoon._ . . And judging
from the crowds that attended
the Blossom Tea, given by the
Friendship Club of St. Paul's

ladies in town could' resist it ...

THE 'tea and bazaar lived up
to its name . The Parish Hall
was banked with late spring flow-
ers of every type - blossoms,
tulips, narcissi and lilacs . . .
The bazaar table were attractiv-
ely arranged to sell their wares
and the candy table was espec-
ially beautiful, covered with a
white cloth and centred with
lighted candles around which
were individual sherbet cups
filled with lily -of -the -valley and
forget-me-nots
m >,, ',Y
THE tea tables were as dainty
as any we have seen at a church
tea -centred with sweet peas and
carnations . A card denoting
the price of the tea, had attach-
ed to it, a colored thimble • in
which was encased a small bou-
quet of forget-me-nots, which we
understand was the handicraft of
the club's capable •president
RECEIVING the many guests
were Mrs. R. M. P. Bulteel, smart
in a brown and beige jersey dress

hat, banded in brown, and Mrs.
