Stave 4: “Strike Up a Joyful Round­ elay.” Between Staves 1 and 2, 12 boys and girls from Mr. Brown’s room ap­ peared in an action song called "The Orchestra.” Ken Crawford, accompanied at the piano by Miss Cora Phair, gave a tap dancing number between Staves 2 and 3, and between 3 and 4, Mr. W. Booth and Mr. Anderton thanked all who had given their support and help­ ed make the concert a success. The opening scene of the play showed Scrooge’s office in which Scrooge is portrayed with all his mis­ erly mean characteristics. Here he came in contact with his clerk, Bob Cratchit, the office boy, Dick, 'and the Philanthropic gentleman. Marley’s Ghost appears and shows him the fate that awaits him if he persists in his present mode of liv­ ing. He also prophesied the visit of the three ghosts that would appear. In Stave 2 the Ghost of Chritsmas Past enters and shows Scrooge as in a dream two scenes from his school­ days and his apprenticeship days. This showed his happy youth before he became so miserable a person. In Stave 3 the ghost of Christmas Present shows him the happy home of his poor clerk Bob Cratchit, and the feeling the Cratchits have toward him. The Ghost of Christmas Future comes and shows ’Scrooge a neglect­ ed grave, the end of his life if 'he does not reform. Scrooge awakes on Christmas morning in Stave 4, and he is a chang­ ed man, as happy as an angel and ,sets about to do as much good as he can. He meets the office boy, the ne­ phew, the philanthropic gentleman, and treats all so kindly that they are astounded at the change in him. He sends’ for Bob Cratchit and all his family and the final scene shows the happy gathering as Tiny Tim observ- served “God Bless Us Every One.” The following is the cast of the play, all the characters took their parts well, particularly Scrooge, which was a very long and difficult role. .

A. was entertained last Monday evening by Miss Anne Irwin who gave a very graphic and interesting account of her trip to the A.Y.P.A, conference held at London. The theme of the conference was “Idealism”, and the speeches present­ ed by the various speakers—Bishop Scager, Dean Jeakins of London, R. S. Rider of Huron College, Rev. FI. R. Hunt of Toronto, Mrs. Reginald Green, Ken Cowan of Ottawa, Evel­ yn Holmes of Toronto and Beatrice Cooper of Windsor, were all based upon this theme. On the last night of the conference abanquet was held at Hotel London. Denton Massey M.P. and leader of the York Bible Class was the special speaker. Mr. Massey in his talk said ‘I care not what system of so call­ ed civilization there is, if the individ­ ual is not good in his heart, the sys­ tem will fail.’ He said that in the hearts of those who committ crimes there is one great thing lacking and that is Christ. He urged all to ish Christian ideals for without people only exist. A very enjoyeable hour was in games and community singing at the conclusion of which lunch was served by the Social committee. cher­ them spent Mistress: “Jane! Yesterday you broke two vases and today you’ve broken three plates and four cups. What will be broken tomorrow at this rate?” Maid: “Not so much, ma’am, my afternoon out.” It is News and Information For the Busy Farmer Get Rid of the Barnyard Boarders In preparing for housing the stock for winter, all surplus work horses finished beef cattle, boarder dairy cows or decidedly poor type heifers, old ewes and old sows should be cull­ ed out and disposed of to the best ad­ vantage. Rearing Winter Pigs The winter feeding of swine pre­ sents many problems that are not en­ countered in summer time, since pigs are forced to live under unnatural conditions in winter and without the variety of feeds, available in the earl­ ier part of the year. At the same time it has to be remembered that any at­ tempt at forcing winter pigs when ex­ ercise is limited is courting disaster. Good feed should be fed at a rate that the pigs can overtake’ and the pigs kept in dry, comfortable quarters with room- for exercise in the early stages of growth. By combining good feed­ ing anc] management, many of the common ailments of swine will be avoided, and the result will be healthy and thrifty market pigs. Successful winter pig production de­ pends largely upon three factors. These factors are: warm, dry steeping quarters, free from draughts; suitable feeds and care in feeding them, and exercise in the early stages of growth. Exercise for the growing animal is practically a necessity. This is particularly true of the pig in the early stages, and especially so if the pig is being forced by heavy feeding. Heavy feeding without exercise is conducive to crippling. It is wise, therefore, to allow the young pigs to run outdoors during the fine fall wea­ ther ,and when they must be kept in­ side due to bad'weather, they should J be allowed, sufficient pen space to ex-, | crcise freely. With regard to providing warm and dry sleeping quarters, if there are buildings available it would be unwise and not economical to build new pig quarters. Even old buildings should be remodelled only sufficiently to en­ sure comfortable feeding and sleeping accommodation. Sufficient trough should be provided so that each pig will have an opportunity to secure a fair share of the feed. If the build­ ing is draughty or likely to be cold, the construction of a covered sleeping berth will be well worth consideration* It can be constructed of any available lumber in a dry corner of the feeding pen. The sleeping berth should not be more than three feet high and cov­ ered with boards and straw and just large enough in area to house the pig's comfortably in a bed of dry, clean straw.
