As we writing this, it looks as if ter has set in several weeks re expected . . And de - ding on your age, you are leased or otherwise.. . Bow- yer, the merchants should be ppy' about it, because it makes e shopper realize that Christmas '11 be here in a few short weeks nd now is the time to buy those Cifts-not a couple of days before hristmas , • HOSTESSES are always look- ing for new ways to entertain guests . . . Especially is this so when you have a large number and they do not all play cards... When Mrs. Bob Thorndycraft en terirained for Mrs. Ray Agnew, who left for Nova Scotia this past weekend, she had a pleasant evening's entertainment arrang- ed It was bingo—but with an angle , , . She had a number of inexpensive prizes, gaily wrapped, one for each guest . Bingo was played in the regular way until all the prizes were won ... Some of the guests won several prizes, ,others none 1. . Next, the prizes were opened, so all could see what they were... Then, the fun started . . . The winners from then on, could choose and take - away from the original winners whatever they Iiked best . . Thus, some prizes changed hands four or five times and it wsan't until the end of the game that the 'final winners of the prizes were known . . The game, played this way. created a lot of fun and suspense , . . Friday last was the night the girls came into their own . , .

It is now obtainable at the Public Library . . With "Mr. Ames," the author won his second Ryer- son Fiction Award for the best Canadian novel of the year The book is a story of dramatic suspense, centring around the character of an old man, Mr. Ames, who struggles to save the life of his son , who has been sentenced to hang for a murder he did not commit , . • * * A CUSTOM that has increased in popularity in Canadian schools I and colleges during the past few years is a Sadie Hawkins dance At which the gals, taking their lead from Daisy Mae in the 'Lit Abner comic strip, are the ones who go after the lads, in- stead of vice -versa . . 'Teen Town carries out this custom every fall in Clinton , . . And IT iS fascinating to observe the way in which Canadian authors—and Philip Child in par- ticular --have been developing their characters during the past few years "Mr. Ames" is a remarkable study of how courage and determination work in Mr. Ames, and how they fail to work in others . . The setting, in which the remarkable character of Mr. Ames is ,unfolded, deals with the seamy side of big city life with racketeers, dope fiends land, burlesque habituate . , . To a small town Canadian, this seems more like an American setting,, until we ponder over the crime news in the post-war daily press And then we realize that the characters in "Mr. Ames" are becoming unfortunately too prevalent on the Canadian scene CLINTON'S social season got away to a good start Thursday evening .last, when the local !
