Ford,' who died in London on Monday after an illness of several' years, took place from the home of her sister, Mrs. S, Lawrence, Princess street, yester- day afternoon. The service, which was private, was conducted by the 'Rev. K. Me- Goun V St. Paul's church, the pall- bearers being her four sons and two nephews, Fred and Harry Lawrence. The late Mrs. Ford was a daugh- ter of one of the early settlers hg,e. the late William Whittington, and was born in 1803 irk a house which eccupied the same lot as the one from which she was buried, that be- ing her girlhood 'home. She spent pratctically all ;her 'life here. In 1885 she was united in marriage to John Ford, who died in November, 1928. Four sons and one daughter survive: William of Glencoe; Ray, Fred and Ernest of Detroit and Elizabeth of Oshawa. A brother and a sister also survive; George Whit- tington of Sundridge and Mrs. Law- rence. All the members of the fancily, al- so Mrs. Frecl Ford of Detroit, Mess- rs. Fred and harry Lawrence of Hamilton and Mrs. Sutor of Cayuga were here for the funeral yesterday. Interment was made in the family plot in Clintnon cemetery. WOMEN'S INSTIUTE MEETING A MOTHER DIES Mrs. Tasker, who died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. James IiugiIt of HuEett, on Saturday, in her ninety-seventh year, was the mother of Mrs. Adam Scott of Clinton. The funeral took place on Monday after- noon, interment being made in Con- stance cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Scott were out to the funeral. FORTH7 KIDS • s Many kiddies will be made happy this Christmas through the Cana- dian Legion, who were winners in the , Buckingham Gift Contest which has just closed. The members of` the ILegion have worked intensively throughout the Fall and Winter months in this contest and their ef- forts have been rewarded by the fact 'that many kiddies in Clinton will be taken care of en Christmas morning: • The Legion is most appreciative to I smokers of Buckingham Cigarettes, who co-operated in the collection o' the wrappers which made these gifts ossible. CHOIR DNTDHTAINE.D The choir of Ontario street church ought to be mighty careful at this Christmas season or some fine Sun- ; day, we trust it will not be next Sunday, it will not be able to perform, its regular function. Last week. one Ievening the church officials treated the choir to a fowl supper, when there were good things to eat, sneeehes and song, a very pleasant; time. And then on Friday evening, Dr. F. G. Thompson, president if the choir, and Mrs. Thompson entertain - en the choir at their home to an ;love—ter supper. On this Iatter •occa ' sion, too, an enjoyable evening waet , spent. j Is it any wonder that we should ex- press concern? Have singers not always to go rather lightly at table, 'especially just before performing, and there's all this Christmas music in preparation? However, it is nice to make the leaders of song realize that their services are appreciated. CHRISTMAS ENTERTAINMENTS The regular monthly meeting of the Women's Institute was held in the firemen's hall last Thursday af- ternoon at 3 o'clock. The meeting was opened by singing the Institute Ode and repeating the Lord's pray- er, the president, Mrs. N. W. Tre- wartha, presiding. Some business matters were then conscdmed. It was deckled to hold a "Hard Time" Social on the evening of January the 26th, all the ladies being requested to bring with them their husbands or best friends and make this evening a joyful one. De- tails will be arranged at a later date. The roll ea1l, which was well ans- wered, was responded to by "My One Superstition." Mrs. McKinley then gave the remainder of her report on the Walkerton Convention, which was very interesting. A hearty vote of appreciation was tendered to Mrs, McKinley for her splendid report of Mrs. C. V. Cooke, seconded by 1V,Irsi Ed. Seruton. Mrs. McKinley brought back many new idea's which will be -put on the programs for next year. A decision was made to send flow- ers to the glint -ins as has been ens- toinary at Christmas time in preview' years. -Reports were then given by the different committees and a little bazaar and sale of Christen s' gifts was held. Miss Margaret Cudmore, of the Public .school staff, then ar- rived with twelve of her pupils, who very sweetly sang a number of Christmas Carals,'"-which were very pleasing to the audience. The chor- isters were: Celestine ,Shanahan, Margaret Fremlin, Mildred Lobb, Ruth.Hearn, Edith Leppington, And, rey Colquhoun, Lois Draper, Jack O'Brien, Jack 'Cook, Charlie Thomp- son and Billie •Seeley. Solo parts were sung by Jack O'Brien and Jack Cook and a quartette consisting 'of •Jack Cook, Jack O'Brien, Charlie Thompson and Billie' Seeley, also sang a number. While the kiddies were in the midst of their singing 010 Santa appeared greatly to their delight, and gave each of them a.bag •of candy, and also one to their teacher. A hearty vote of thanks to Miss Cudmore :for , having provided suoh• enjoyable en- tertainment- was moved by ••Mrs. Me: Kinsey and Seconded by. Mrs; Sturdy. Just before the meeting closed tasty refreshments were served by the hostesses. • This is Christmas Tree week and all about, in Sunday schools and day schools entertainments are being held and Christmas trees trimmed and stripped again. Santa Claus is having a very busy time. On Monday evening the Salvation Army Christmas tree entertainment was given. A good crowd filled the S. A. hall, children being excited to see what. was to come and parent; being almost as much so to see how their little ones would perform. An interesting program was given by the young folk and later the gifts from the tree were distribute., Santa CIans coming in for this in- teresting ceremony Reeve Elliott acted as chairman. On Tuesday evening Ontario street and Wesley -Willis each had their annual Sunday school enter» tainment, to which many carne, many other than the little ones, who nat- urally look forward . to such gather- ings. The programs were supplied by the pupils and in each ease Santa Claus came for the gift distribu, tion. Yesterday evening St. Paul's Sun- day School had its annual event, which was also a Children's Event, although enjoyed by many who are older. The program was enjoyed but, at least by the younger portion of the audience, the gift distribution was really the feature of the evening.

T. of Wesley -Willis church met on Monday evening and packed a box of toilet articles which the girls have been preparing to send to a young girl In India with a returning missionary.

Trewar- tha, who is as enthusiastic in the work as any of them, by presenting her with a pretty bonbon dish.

Mr. Taylor and his daughter seen to have mastered the art of bowling to a degree, Things seen so easy for them in Or- lando that they are going to the larger town of St. Petersburg to try their luck for a while. They manage to put in a pleasant winter in this way: "The Lawn Bowling club, Sun- shine park, Iooked on Monday after- noon while the Stevens and Taylor families played an exciting game.
