FIVE HUNDRED KIDDIES AT COMMUNITY XMAS TREE • Old Saint Nicholos co-operated with the weather rnan in a friendly way on Thursday last, in serving a suit- able delightful night for the Commun- ity Christmas Tree, sponsored 1:ier the Lion's Club. Santa received a warm welcome from the kiddies 41,110 Were there in expected nurnbers from the tiny tot in a mother's arms or sleigh to the mischief -bent lives boy, whose restlessness only lent an added inter- est to the affair. But in all they re - fleeted the spirit of the day. A bright expectancy that even the wisdom of years could not allay, and for once all were young again in full faith that Santa Claus would come with his prancing steeds. Yes, here he comes, for the merry tinkle of the sleigh bells attracted the attention of all and when he passed down the street wav- ing a welcome to the crowd of young- sters, there were those who envied their innocence and would have gladly changed place for just once again. And what a miracle he wrought. Kid - "dies who were possibly a bit chilly and restless, fretful because their mo- thers had been lost in the crowd, for- got all when old Santa stopped at the corner and mingling among the little ones shook hands and wished them a Merry Christmas. Shining eyes of de- light brushed away the tears of a moment ago, while their voices told only too true their belief that Santa Claus was a real thing. Then the boys and girls, little tots in arms or shoul- der high on dad, marched by, receiv- ing a bag of candy, orange and nuts, and afterwards there were some left for those who could not be present. The Lions Club feel grateful to those who assisted in making this e- vent the success it preyed.

NEW MODEL FORD SHOWN HERE THURSDAY • Many Interested Prospects Visited • Wetherell and Greenwood's Garage to Get Their First Look at "The Mystery Car." "No prcduct ever placed upon the market was ever awaited with sttch eager interest as the new Ford car," said Mr. Greenwood, who introduced locally the first model of the new car a Touring, on December 2211d. "It was generally conceded that the public was keyed up to a high state of expectancy but from the number of visitors who came to our show- rooms, we know that public interest exceeded even our expectations. It was a regular invasion- and our e11 - $76.3o orgies were tasked to answer all ehe questions being asked about the new car. We learn from the Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited, that a similar condition exists throughout the Dominion. 'The interest is a reflection of pub - 76.5o lic confidence in Ford products Ever it.79 since they began business in 1904 the Ford Motor Company of Canada has held in mind the single objective of building a car of the highest quality to sell at the lowest price obtainable with quality and infinitely accurate workina.nshipThe result has been a ca of superio•r endurance a car that Kirby -Renck Nutitials • The marriage of Mrs, Stella Ren- wick of Wingham, and Mr. Jas Kir- by of Teeswater, wab,. solemnized at the United Church parsonage, Wing - ham, on Wednesday, December 14th, at 6.30 P. ne, by the Rev.
