Thursday night under the direction of Sgt, Grudnutski, the staff of the hospi tal enjoyed a lovely party. A game of bingo started the evening; then a supper was served. The tables were decorated with a clever adapta tion of crepe paper and small Christ mas trees. Everyone cracked “Crackers” and wore paper hate. After feasting on all kinds of good things, including sandwiches mad© by the boys of the Ward Staff, every one opened a Christmas present, There was much fun and laughter when some of the mysterious par cels were unwrapped. After supper, the tables were cleared away and a dance brought the merry party to an end. would wait for a good while befoiw gedng on another, There were two sleighs full of well-bundled Airmen and Airwomen, but even with all their clothes on, and with blankets wrapped around them Indian style, most of the sleighers had to get off and run at intervals to ’ thaw out. About half way around, one sleigh picked up a farmer who was on his way to a “Chiverip” and he made the mistake of inviting the sleighers to go along, To his sur prise they snapped up the invitation and all joined in banging on pans and shouting outside the door of the newly married couple. After giving a few cheers for the groom and kiss ing the bride, the sleighers left and started on their North Arctic trek again. The wind was cold and by th© time the Hostess House was sighted nearly everyone agreed that Eskimos have a tough life.

POINTS TO PONDER Christinas Musical Hour A Sure-Fire Memory System Pat- first two Pat good the Command The in the was a nice large crowd, opened by the Band playing “God Save the King”, after which F/o Herbertson welcomed the guests ana the visiting boxers an’d expressed the hope that the evening’s events would be interesting. Boxers came from Fort Albert, Ipperwash and St. rick’s Club in London. The event was a bout between “Bantam weights” from the St. rick’s Club. They put on a show and are very promising lads. The next bout was won bv LAC. Clayton of Centralia, and the follow ing bout ended in a draw between Laveau of Centralia, and Cooper of London. Two lads from Centralia fought in the fourth bout and Body won over Ash in the 147 lb. class. A highlight of the evening was the exhibition bout between Pearson aud Grislaw, both from Port Albert. It was easy to see why Grislaw is the runner-up in Championship; he is really good, The 1701 lb. bout between Mahari of Ipperwash, and Day of Port Al bert, was won by Mahari of Ipper wash, and in the 145 lb. class Cpl. Dumas of Ipperwash, won a techni cal knock-out over Sgt. Farrel of No. 9. The Brass Band played during the intermission and the second half ot the show consisted of two wrestling bouts. Both of these ended in draws. F/Sgt. White and Pte. Jones of Ipperwash were the participants in the main bout, and-Kerrigan and Bourbeau wrestled in the other bout. The Commanding Officer, Group Captain Fullerton, presented the prizes and* thanked all the partici pants for taking part in the second show of the season. He also led a vote of appreciation to the boxing and wrestling committee consisting of F/O Herbertson, .F/O Henderson, Capt. McCall, F/Sgt. Wlhite, Sgt. Wright, and Gordon Pass, Y.M.C.A. The judges were S/Leader Williams and S/Leader Elwin while Capt. McCall and F/Lt. Partlett were the timekeepers. What started off to be a quiet musical hour on Sunday afternoon in the Recreation Hall turned out to be a minor “Amateur Hour.” Christ mas recordings were played for about half an hour and with the lights on the Christmas tree in the Rec Hall, and with the pine boughs on the stage, it really seemed pos sible to think “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.” Sgt. Harry Simpkins then led a Sing-song and LAC. Swift ac companied him. Every Christmas carol ever heard of was sung at least once and most of them twice. But the unscheduled part of the prog ram was the calling up on the stage of about a dozen people to sing in a group. They were all good sports though and even those who couldn’t sing tried anyway. Mrs. Chenoweth, wife of F/O Chenoweth, sang two solos and the consensus of opinion was that the more often she will come out the better everyone on the Station will like it. .Refreshments were served by Mrs. Fullerton as sisted by a number of the wives of all ranks of No. 9 S.F.T.S. on behalf of the Y.M.C.A. and everyone the afternoon a success. Betty Forget each kindness that you do, As soon as you have done it; Forget the praise that falls to you, The moment you have won it; Forget the slander that you hear, Before you can repeat it, Forget each slight, each spite, each sneer, Whenever you may meet it. Remember every kindness done To you, whate’er its measure; Remember praise by others won, And pass it on with pleasure; Remember every promise made And keep it to the letter; Remember those who lend you < And be a grateful debtor. aid, Remember all the happiness That comes your way jn living; Forget each worry and distress; Be hopeful and forgiving. Remember heaven’s above you, And you will find, thro’ age and youth, True joys and hearts to love you. Betty Blair.

Show, “All played here last week to the audience on record in our The Clear,” largest Drill Hall. It was a fast moving show and the quick tempo is a credit to F/O Marshall and F/O ’Fahrenholtz who shoulder the responsibility for the show. The cast of thirty-five includes the orchestra, the stage crew, the actors and dancers and the two officers. This show has been on tour since September of this year, and on tlieir tour they have played to almost every station in No. 1 Training Command, ahd to a few American Army posts around Wasli- IngtOii, D.C, The cast puts on about five shows a week, and they’ll be ready for theif leave which Will ex tend over Christmas and New Year’s. Only two of the cast, Sgt Slim Burgess, comedian, and AC1. Rex Slocum, magician, were on the pro- fessiohal stage before, and a lot of Credit goes to the girls and boys who hr© playing such a big part in enter taining “the troops?* A few more words about the members of our up and coming Brass Band, which is under the ex pert supervision Robert Moore, of LAC. Mutch, of ity just has to be column, Our Bandmaster says that his goodness comes out of his Eu phonium when he is playing it and is definitely a credit to any band. He is a Bagpipe player too in our Pipe Band but is always willing to help us out with his instrument. More power to you Mutchy. Sgt. J. G. Schwartz is also on his way to becoming a fair brass player. He toots away with many oompahs and according to Bandmaster Moore tries to drown out the rest of the Band. He plays a trumpet on occa sion also. On one recent engage ment his Eb bass horn threatened to straighten out as he was blowing it too hard. On Sunday evening, December 19, 1943, through kind permission of our Commanding Officer, Group Captain Fullerton, the band played at the service in Centralia United Church. Here are a few of the selctions play ed by the band: Good King Wence slas, Silent Night, Hark the Herald Angels Sing, First Noel and several other old time favorites. LAC. Hatch played a cornet solo, *r Bandmaster Robert Moore satisfied that the band is to the Station. We mustn’t forget the cooperation that the committee com posed of F/O B. D. Herbertson, F/L Bullen and WO2. J. M. Kinnon is giving us. They are doing a splendid job handling the adminstrative end of the Band. Th© lunch served by the Ladies of the church was “somepln* ” ac cording to reports from members of die Band, and Centralia’s hospital ity Is really exceptional, Sgt,. J. J. SchwdrU, When our friends pass on from this, life we remember only th© kind est and best we know. Why not remember the kindest and best now —while they live? “Give to me the roses while I’m living, And the knocking when I’m dead,” —is better truth than poetry. To say of a pal that he was a “Great Guy” is not nearly so important as to say he is a great guy. Life is too short to dwell in the shadows. Let's live with our friends on the sunny side of the street, and “Keep our sunny side up”. ‘ Padre Moynan. Then there’s the rookies who took the sergeant’s advice and put on a clean pair of socks every day. A week passed by “Where are your shoes?” snarled the sergeant “I can't get them on over seven pairs of socks,’ replied the rookie. Betty Blair.
