VALENTINE SOCIAL
Last Monday evening time young
people of the United Church held a
very successful Valentine Darty. The
church parlors were srery tastefully
and becomingly decorated with a pro-
fusion of cupids, darts, hearts, strea-
mers and valentines, etc,, which lent
themselves to the charm and attrac-
tiveness of the rooms,
At the doors the guests were met
by two young ladies who presented
them with small strings of various
coloured hearts, each heart having
written on it souse part of the menu,
these hearts were afterwards "paid"
for lunch.
The program was a very splendid
one, consisting of piano solos by Miss
Edythe Lott and Miss Gertie Robert-
son; • guitar duets by Misses Evelyn
McKay and Velma Lennox; mixed
quartette, Rev. S. Davison, Mrs, S,
Davison, Miss Jean Christie, Mr. E,
Wilkinson; solos by Miss Gertrude
MacDonald and Mr. Phipps, Tees -
water, with Miss Norah Beattie ac-
companying. Readings by Miss M,.
Whittaker.
One of the comic numbers was a
group of three speeches given simul-
taneously'by Mrs. W. VanWyck, Mr.
A. Coutts and Mr. F. R. Howson.
This number was heaps of fun and
caused the audience roars of laughter.
Community singing led by Mr. F. R.
Howson was much enjoyed and Coo -
Coo; Orchestra which played and sang
several popular numbers were heart-
ily applauded. After the program a
Valentine contest was engaged in, af-
ter which lunch was served in Cafe-
teria style — the tables looked very
pretty in, their unique red and white
decoration.
After all had spent a social half
hour over the cups, we were dismiss-
ed by all joining. heartily in singing
the Nathional Anthem.
WEST WAWANOSH MAN IN-
JURED IN RUNAWAY
A serious accident befell Donald
1Vlurray and his son, Ross, as they
were returning from chuch Sunday af-
ternoon. A dog ran out and fright-
ened their horse, which kicked at it
and started to run away, throwing
the occupants of the cutter out. Mr.
Murray had his shoulder hurt quite
badly, some of the bones being bro-
ken, and he was otherwise pretty
bad-
ly shaken up, requiring the services
of a physician. He was taken to his
home on the eighth concession of
West Wawanosh.
His son, Ross Murray, while not so
seriously injured, is feeling the ef-
fects of the shock and is limping

This wonderful work was begun.
some fifty-three years ago by Sir
James Murray, when he was head-
master of Mill Hill School; when 71e
died it was the general opinion that
he had worked himself to death try-
ing to complete the labor to which
he had given practically his whole
life. But, fortunately, he had a wife
who was almost as Interested in the
progress of the dictionary as was Sir
James, and: it is partly owing to her
efforts that it Is now near to com-
pletion.
Something of the colossal magni-
tude of the task may be realized trona
the fact that, before any work was
done at all on the actual book, five
anillioii quotations were collected,
and a huge number of books had to
be read through, including many
published before A.D. 1600.
So many were the books that had
to be kept handy and the quantity
of correspondence that it was neces-
sary to file for reference, that Dr;
Murray had to erect a special build-
ing in the . grounds of his Oxford.
house.
It is aaid that the word "of" was.
one of the hardest words to deal'.
with, since no one has ever compiled
references to it before. Of those'
scholars who helped Sir James Mur-
ray in the earliest stages of the work,
