The Jubilee Singers are a company of six well -experienced eolored musi- cans,.who give a refined and varied program of the highest type, The colorful negro spirituals, and south. ern plantation ;melodies sung, as on- ly the colored people can sing their native music, more than delighted the audience. The old-fashioned steamd in- terpreted a characterize and i c p n terpreted by the male quartet proved a favorite and was encored repeated- ly. They also appeared at the Sunday morning service and sang two spir- ituals to a capacity congregation. The numbers chosen "There is a balm in Gilead," ,and "I'm on Illy way up there," fitted in well with the morn- ing theme and added the high note to a most impressive aervice, Many are looking forward to a re- turn engagement of these singers. rass VAT,. ifIrao.,,xpe,.•.

The Welfare committee of the Horne and School Club is asking for second-hand or new toys to include in Christmas baskets they are pre- paring. The same, in good repair, oe course, may be left at the relief headquarters, Albert street, between the hours of three and five on Friday or Saturday afternoons, preferably Friday, or can be left at any time at the office of the Chief of Police,. SUNDAY'S BAND CONCERT The Sunday evening band concert in the town hall was well -attended considering the very inclement wea- ther and the icy condition of the walks. And those present were well repaid by the excellent program giv- en. The band on this 'Occasion was as- sisted. by Miss Marion Gibbings, who contributed two vocal solos in her usu- al pleasing way: Other special tea - tures were a cornet solo by Mr. Ag- new and a saxophone solo by Jack Perdue. :Bandmaster Morgan Agnew and his organization spend much time praeticing and results are recognized in the finished style of their perfor- mances. •Clinton . can congratulate Itself upon having a band of which it may be proud. These annual concerts are given by the Band in support of the wel- fare fund, a silver collection being given and handed over by them to the, welfare committee of the Home. and School Club for their work. This generous support is .much appreciat- ed by the committee, the town and thosewho benefit. LET US HAVE NEWS PROMPTLY• • Next week and the following area short weeks, Monday • being a 'holi day each week, Christmas Day and New Year's Day, respectively. Cor respondents would confer a favor 'by - sending in their budgets early, as those two days, between the holiday . and publishing day, are going to be pretty strenuous ones in this office. THOSE CHRISTMAS TREES Clinton has two beautiful Corn- munity 'Christmas trees this year, one on the postoffice square and the - other just beside the town hall, on• Library 'Park. The trees have been lighted' by the Public Utilities Commission, and glow cheerily each evening watt.. their many -colored lights. They give. a decidedly Christmassy appearance to the streets and serve to make - more than children's eyes brighten- as rightenas they fall upon them. QUEER WEATHER The peculiarity of a thunderstorms• while the temperature was away below freezing point, while windows were covered with frost, was the ex- perience here early last Friday morn- ing. The temperature immediately be- gan to rise and by noon the snow was again reduced to slush, turning' cold- er again before night, But Saturday and Sunday were mild, rain falling heavily Sunday evening. Since then we've hada variety of weather. Monday was a lovely day, • sunny and bright, Tuesday not quite so pleasant and yesterday we were treated to a sleet storm, followed by snow in the evening, so we may have a white Christmas. Thunder storms late hi the season• are supposed to mean open weather, but we had them all along this sea- son, and it has not been particularly "open," with a couple of feet of snow on the ground the greater pave of November. But we shall see what we shall see. AUXILIARY MAKES GIFT Mine Host A. S. Inkley and Mrs. Inkley of the Clinton Inn invited the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Canadian- Legion anadianLegion to hold a social evening they- were heywere planning at the 'Inn on Friday- evening, ridayevening, when the members of the. Legion wore also guests and a pleas•r ant evening was spent together. Cardswere indulged in, Mrs. L. Gree and Mr. E. Snell being the win- ners, and community singing and social chat passed the hours away. During the evening Mrs. (Dr.) Thompson, on behalf of the Auxiliary presented Mr. H. S. Turner, secre- tary of the local branch of the Legs ion, and Mrs. Turner, who were mar» vied recently, with a table lamp. Mr. Turner replied in his usual ready. manner, thanking the -company for• the kind wishes expressed .and for• the handsome gift, which' be said he. and his wife would prize highly. AGROWING INDUSTRY One place, at least, in Clinton where Old Man Depression has not as yet set his foot is the plant of the Clin- ton Knitting Company, which is working night and day, and, ac- cording to the president, Col, H. B. Conroe, this will continue until next June. ; This company has been building up quite a trade with the .British West Indies, Bermuda, Central Am- erica and New Zealand during the past few years, and nosy has four• travellers operating in these fields.. A large ,order came in from New Zealand recently, which is only one of several such received in recent months. Although this trade is of growing- importance and is receiving, every - attention in order to increase it, Can- ada is not being neglected, twelve travellers being on the road all the - time. It is intended to have seven in Quebec alone after the new. year.. The company is always reaching out after new equipment, machinery, etc., and turns out a great variety of goods, from fine silk hose for women to heavy wool and silk and wool socks for men. The industry at the present time - is Clinton's most important one,. employing .the largest staff, paying out about $6000 per month in wages,. and it is hoped that it 'will continur to grow and expand. The company does not forget the - social side of life, either, in dealing- with ealingwith its employees, for on Friday - evening the fifteenth annual Christ - Inas treat, which has for some years taken the form of a •Christmas party - for 'the employees and their friends, will be held in the town hall, for • which a' couple of hundred invitations. have been sent out. This event is• always ldoked forward to by the em-• ployees. and it is expected a- verii• pleasant time; will be ,enjoyed;. • i Si.•: ,. ;il
