Mr. Chant, who is a chartered accountant by profession, has tong followed am- ateur photography as a hobby and has done some wonderfully artistic work, as is evidenced by the fol- lowing: "F. H. Chant of 595 Tyler Street, has received from La Sociedad Pho- tc gra£ica de Zaragoza. Spain, a certificate for having been admitted to exhibition at the seventh inter- national salon, there. Mr. Chant exhibited a photograph entitled "Bubbles." This work was also ado mitred to the exhibition at Antwerp.

REMEMBERED POSTMASTERS The Postmaster General has grant- ed authority for all Post offices to be closed to the public on Christmas and New Year's days, the only duty requiredof postmasters on those days being the receiving and des: patching of mails.

Any Christauas.gift not received from the postoffice on Christmas Eve, will have to lie there until the following day. CHRISTMAS CHEER FUND The News -Record's Christmas Cheer fund is growing. The Ilouie and School committee whieli is ac - ministering it, is already carefully making outlays for things necessary to the comfort and help of those in need of such assistance. This fund will be most carefully handled Such. as is needed will be spent for Christmas Cheer and such as inay not be needed' will be held • in reserve for use as needed later on in the winter. The convenor of the Welfare Committee which handled the fund last year, also that raised by the Kiltie Band, told The News - Record just recently that it was a great convenience to have a fund to fall back upon when need arose de winter carne on again. Those who are in touch with these things see the need when others might not. In view of this any contributione to this fund win be gratefully re. teived. Contributions can be paid in at this office or to Chief Stong, who is. treasurer for the fund: Previously acknowledged $17.00 R. Walton . 1.00 H. R. Sharp 6.00 I. P. Sheppard & Co, .. ,.. , 2.09 L.

One is always assured of an en- tertaining evening at least when one attends the Collegiate Commence- ment, and this year's offering,, was no exception to the rule. On Thursday and Friday evenings the Collegiate students put on their annual program and, from the first chorus to the national anthem there was never a dull moment. The chor- uses, the songs, the drills, the gym - nestle exercises and final'y the play, were all presented with a vim and a skill that kept the audience on its toes each evening. As usual the Collegiate auditur- eiunt was filled to capacity each even- ing, the audiences showing their in- terest by close attention and frequent and enthusiastic applause. The opening number was a selec- tion by the Collegiate orchestra com- posed of W. Murdock and R. Thomp- son, violins; W. Draper and J. Sims, cornets; Jack Perdue, saxophone; K. Elliott, C. Jolinaon, G. Levis, N. Paterson and` R. Hale, clarinets; C. Cooper, H. Gibbs and II. Plumsteel, flutes; R. Allen, B.A., piano. Then followed a chorus "The Weather," by lower school students. The gymnas- tic stunts were well performed and as ever, represented a vast amount of training. The gym team is coin - posed of L. Stock, J. Gandier, A. Cook, H. Johnson, F. Weston, E. Campbell, E. Neilans, H. Plumsteel, K. Elliott, J. McGill, C. Helmes, G, Holmes, T. Ross, J. .Armstrong, J, Stirling, P. Hovey, H. Tyndall,- J. Murphy, and F. Moynes, The two midgets of this team, E. Neilans and Pete Cantelon, were made up as clowns and kept the audience am- used by imitating the difficult stunt% of the bigger boys« A dumb-bell drill by a class of girls was well performed. Theykept perfect tune to music furnished by their instruc- tor, Miss M. Depew. The Pirates Dance in characteristic and ceiorful .costume was done by Clara Ball, Harriet Gandier, Pearl Robinson, K. Walker, R. Pickett and F. 1VLossop, to piano music by M. Armstrong. , Dressed in black shorts, white middies, red caps with tassels, red scarfs and knee high black boots with bright red .tops, the, girls din) some very clever and well -tuned dancing and motion stunts imitative _af. ship practice. At the conclusion of this one of the "Pirates" asked `the members of the staff and the e• car t k e a t r to ecnneorwar f d to see the ;opening of the treasure chest, and each was made the recipient of a gift from the students. The secondpart of the program opened , with an orchestra selection, Then followed the play, "Her Honour The Mayor." The east included: Les- ter Parmenter, candidate for may- or, Edw, Rorke; Hon. Mike IVtcGoon, Political Boss, Relit. Hale; •Clarence; .Greeway; Eye's brother, S. Beattie; Eve Greenway, Lester's fiancee, who became mayor, V. Bozell; I'Xrs. Me - Nab, widow and suffragette; V« Mor- rison Dorisent ,D on,i a i athletic bud who beoame fire chief, D. Corless; Rosalie Myers, lien chum, who became a ' millionaire; M. Mason; Eliza Goo - combination of circumstances, revol- ved around a strange dream Eve Greenway had, in which she thinks she is mayor and has appointed all her friends to civic positions. The taking up of these positions by the women seemed to involve the taking over of an women's work by the sten and some very laughable scenes were presented as the men tried to ape women and the women to alae man. It must be confessed thee woman, as far at least as appear- ances went, hnd the best of it. But the man is not yet born who can look dignified in a boudior cap and a kitchen apron, still less, a bridal veil. The play was entirely humorous but it filled its task, it amused, and the parts were well taken, the young people enacting the different char- acters portraying them clearly—in some cases with rare talent. On Thursday evening the athlet- ic medals and prizes were distribut- ed, the Rev. Dr, C. E. Dougan pre- senting them as follows: Senior boys' champion, athletic cup and shield, J. Stirling; Sr. girls' champ. shields, Miss IIarriet Gaudier; inter- mediate boys' silver cup and shield, T. Ross; junior boys' medals, 11, Mc- Innis, C. Holmes (ties); junior girls' shield, Miss R. Pickett; midget girls' sliie?d, Miss L. Hilliker; juvenile boys' shield, L Adams. Huron County champions: Sr, boys, S. Sterling (tied with student at Goderich Collegiate); sr. girls, Miss Harriet Gandier; int, boys, T. Ross; jr. girls, Miss R. Piekett. Each of these received a handsome silver cup.
