YOUNG FOLK .i IV4E PROGRAM Anopen meeting of the Wesley - Willis Mission Band League was held on Friday evening last, when quite a :nimber of the members of the congregation were ;present . to hear the young' people present their program of music, songs, recitations and Bible study drills and a pleasing pageant. Miss Norma Cook, presi- dent, presided and all the young Toro people took' their parts very well, of indeed. Oen LAYIVIENN'S BANQUET vth ely Deanery of Huroii Layman's Ban- der quet was held in St. Paul's Memorial H. hall on Tuesday evening, a very good for- attendance being present considering He that theweather was rather stormy. rlt A number were in 'attendance from oil diistant parts of the Deanery. Before the banquet a 'short ser- vice was held in 'the church, Arch- Deacon Jones -Bateman of Goderich being in charge. The banquet was laid in the hall, aid ladies of; the Guild doing the catering, and a very excellent meal was enjoyed and ample justice done to it. The special speaker was the Rev. Canon Wallace of London, who gave a tnost interesting, address. ' Inter- spersed with the.doings of the even- ing, some community singing was in- dulged in. Sheriff Middleton, chair. man of the Deanery, presided. AMONG TILE_CRUROHES AN AUTO ACCIDENT While returning from a business trip to (Kitchener on Thursday last Mr. D, Cantelon happened with an accident which.inight have been ser- ious. A woman coming in the op- posite direction slowed up and a ear immediately behind her turned out to avoid running into her and met the Cantelon car head-on. Both ap- plied the :brakes as soon as possible but the other car took to the ditch, while Mr. CanteIon's ran close to the edge but did not go over. The dri- ver of the .other car managed to op- en the door and get out and with the help of Mr. Cantelon and his driver the ear was righted and he drove away. Mr. Cantelon was shak- en up but not seriously injured. The woman drove •on as if nothing had happened, probably did not see the mix-up which her sudden desire for sane and safe driving caused. IIOW I'P WAS DONE The following appeared in the Leth- bridge Herald recently, in a series of articles from prominent citizens on "How I Earned my First Dollar." Mr. Jackson is a brother of Me. Fred Jackson of town: "Pieture a small' Ontario town, Clinton, by name, and one of its residents, a Tad of 12, who was ever so anxious to make some money. In those days pennies were hard to find, they didn't roll up hill or down unless they were earned. "I must have some moneyP" was the persistent thought that racer; through the ihead of Sydney Jackson, who in later years became one of the leading druggists of the thriving city of Lethbridge, Alberta. A happy thought took form. Mothers liked water -cress. There was a gurgling stream three miles front town and on its hanks nice, crisp watercress grew in abundance. The thought was turned tc action and af- ter a six nine walk a tired but eheer- fuI lad sold water cress from door to door in the home village for 10 cents a bunch and so -another first dollar was earned. Mr. Jackson graduated from the Ontario School of Pharmacy in 1895 and came to Lethbridge in 1904, be- ing a resident .of this city since that date." ASSIST WLLFARE FUND Although a letter received by The News -.Record and published in our issue of last weelt seemed to convey the idea that the •committee in charge of the Community Christmas Tree had decided not to do any col, letting for the welfare or Christmat) Cheer fund, it appears that the can- vassers are maldng such collections, Some of the citizens when visited ex, pressed a desire to donate part of their contribution to this fund, which will be used to provide Christmas baskets for some who need a bit of assistance in creaking 'Christmas a - happy. time, and perhaps si'so needed articles of clothing, etc., for children. So the eomrnittee is keeping this fund separate and will hand it over to the committee in charge of this work. The News -Record commends this action, which was what it suggested in the beginning, and trusts that the fund may be a generous one. The fund opened by The News -Record last week has not grown as fast as we. should like but there is still time. Any sum, no matter .how small, will be gratefuily received, No mat- ter how large, either, as this money will be expended wisely and well. Last year all the money .was not spent at the Christmas season, some being kept in shore and used as needed later -on to provide shoes, etc., for needy children. At tiro eouneil meeting on Mon- day evening members of the coun- cil spoke in high terms of the ex- cellent wotdt done by e the Home and School 'committee in charge of this fund last Year. It was a timely and. deservedtribute, e formal resolution from the council would not be nut of place for such service, Week of Prayer Program arrang- ed by the Ministerial Association at their meeting on Monday: 4 .
