Kelnier Dawson has bought the house just vacated by Melbourne Cox. The annual gathering of • Knox Presbyterian congregation and Sun- day School was held in the basement of the church with a good number pre- sent. Ganes and contests were car- ried through under the supervision of Misses Eleanor Wilson, Bernice Law- son and Edith Stoltz. Lunch was served at the close and gifts distri- buted to the children. The annual meeting of School Sec- tion No. 5 was held on Tuesday. Fred Plaetzer was the retiring trustee and the following trustees were elected: R. D. Munro, chairman; Earl Raithby, Secretary -treasurer, and 11. Yung- blutt. The contract for the year's wood was given to Harry Sturdy and Mrs. J. Miller was appointed care- taker. The question of hot lunches for the children during the winter months was left over to the trustees. Mrs, Archie Radford, Mr. and Mrs. Rob. Johnston of Blyth and Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Clark of Listowel spent New Year's at Stanley Jolmston's. A watch night service under the auspices of the Baptist Young People was held in the Baptist Church New Year's Eve with a splendid atten- dance. The early part of the even- ing was spent in progressive crokin- ole, Earl Raithby and Isabel Rollin- son being the winners. After lunch was served an hour's devotional per- iod was held covering the midnight hour. Favourite hymns were sung and passages of scripture repeated, and Rev. G. W. Sherman, the pastor, spoke on the New Year. The annual meeting of the Village was held in the Orange Hall on Mon- day. The following trustees were elected for the year 193'7: W. T. Rid- dell, James Medd and Edgar Lawson. The trustees were asked to interview the good roads commission re taking over King street as part of the Base Line instead of the Maitland Ter- race, This would make it less confus- ing to motorists going north.

They certainly don't mind asking for Mrs. R. H. F. Gairdner and Miss two or even three bags of candy, and Betty returned to London on Satur- sing. Say we couldn'thold them day after having spent the Christmas back from singing. They have all manner of singers good and bad (Mostly the latter), short and tall, male and female. Second Form is a very shy form; that is all except the teacher. Elle est tres gracievse. Santa thought she was too courteous to Mrs. Santa especially concerning embraces. Mrs. Santa Claus, so second formers ad- mit, seemed to display some male characteristics at times. Cameron who spent the vacation with We had always thought Mr.l their aunt. Mrs. Dement Haw, who spent the Christmas week with her mother, Mrs, Wm. Heard, returned to Proton Sta- tion on Friday with her husband who was here for New Year's. Mr. John W.

The chairman read the poem "My Creed" which was considered very suitable for remem- bering at this season when everyone is supposed to be resolving to better the 1936 habits throughout the year 1937. Rev. J. W. 'Herbert and Billy gave a beautiful violin :and' guitar selection. The Young People always enjoy to the utmost any music given by the Herbert Boys. We hope that when entering the basement of the church during the corning year we shall often see Mr. Herbert's violin and Billy's guitar sitting byi the pi- ano in readiness to take part in Y. P.U, programs. The young people felt themselves very fortunate in be- ing present when Miss Cora Trewar- tha was called upon to tell about her experiences in Northern Ontario, where she is teaching. She vividly portrayed the work, hobbies and spir- itual life of the people in the far north of our Province. This was very interesting. This is the week of prayer so on Friday evening all the parents and friends of the Y.P.U. are herewith given a pressing invitation to join with thein for a special meeting in the church at 8 o'clock. Miss Elizabeth Ford of Clinton is the guest of Mr. and . Mrs, Bert Trewartha. vacation at the old Gairdner resi- dence in the village. Miss A. M. Stirling left on Mon- day to visit in Hamilton. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Cameron and Win. Cameron of Detroit 'spent the week -end with their sister, Miss E. Cameron. Miss M. Cameron, who was in Detroit last week, returned to the village with them, and on their return to Detroit they were accom- panied by Masters John and Wm. Franks was a very retiring man who never believed in such humbug as Santa Claus. Our dreams were rude- ly shattered. Lo, before the door was open, he received us with out- stretched arms and wouldn't give Santa time to introduce the wife; in embracing the girls and rejecting the pretty boys. Fourth Form did not boast a very large representation, but it was a case of quality, not quantity. They are all such a warm-hearted, refined group, probably they get the inspira- tion for their warm-heartedness from their tutor's coiffure. One of the many things Mrs. Santa discovered during (his, her?) visit was that seats do not hol'd' two persons. It certainly whs a merry and val.- led welcome that greeted the two visitors in Upper School. Dougan and Filshie favoured with a tap dance Lo the accompaniment of Ayotte's yodelling and Johnston's whistling. Miss Beattie made her initial speech a la soap box method. "Morg." Ag- new, we noticed for once, prayed quite fervently that she would get a Ma -Ma doll. Everybody quite grac- iously allowed Mr. and Mrs. Santa to donate their gifts. All in all it was quite a time. Such is school life. Before we forget let us all wish our readers a most happy and sure• cessfttl New Year from teachers and pupils. We really hope we (your editors) would be favoured with such a year, but we know this to an' utter impossibility. Already we have broken our pencil. So there you are. What's the use of wishing any- way. You tell us. But talking of New Year, have you made any New Year's resolutions? We have. First --To have some oth- er persons write up this hallowed column. This action is prompted by the many Christmas cards we receiv- ed from everyone. This reason we raulc first and foremost. Don't you? A resolution fit to rest in the lap of the gods. Secondly—To ignore all persons boasting moustaches or even a semblance of. a moustache. Thirdly --To quit telling lies and not to be so shy. That's all. Most probably you noticed' that we fell down during the last two school weeps of 1936 by failing to record our newsy gleanings. We beg of you to accept our excuse that school busi- ness forced us to do,this. Some even failed to notice this. Probably just an example of Johnny not knowing the family had not a family cat, un- til it had disappeared. . To re -hash the subject of Santa Claus—Did you notice Mr. Fines as- sisting the dear old gentleman at the Community Christmas Tree? There he stood, handing out candy, as fast as his hands would move, and all the while, a perfectly esctatic smile light- ing' up his countenance. Did he ]snow of last week.
