Surprise Party Given Mr. and Mrs. James Douglas The 40th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. James Douglas was cele- brated on Wednesday of last week by a surprise party. During the after- noon guests numbering forty arrived, coming from Guelph, Vancouver, Elm- dad is is home a Christmas candles will burn brighter this year and Christmas turkeys have a new and special flavour for the thousands of Canadians who will be sitting down to their first Christmas dinner with the family circle complete. And many a childish face will glow in the candlelight because "dad" takes his place at the head of the table again — with his strange tales from Italy, from France, Germany or the Pacific.. But even as the candles are lit and the heaped plates go round, Canadians will pause and remember — remember those family groups that will never be complete—those thousands of desolate and homeless in Europe that great army of children who have been frightened and hurt and starved by a war not of their making. Let us therefore make a solemn resolve never again to allow the powers of .darkness — greed, selfishness and mistrust—to put' out the candles of Christmas, those brave lights that symbolize the warm love and kindness that came into the world two thousand years ago.

Howse Was the Guest Speaker to the ocean that spraY frequently drenched the windows of .his parents' home, He remained there until about 20 years of age when he came to Can- ada, returning only for occasional vis- its, until in 1925, he accepted a pastor- ate there for several years, The gen- eral conception is that Newfoundland is a., land of "fish and fog' but this is not literally so. On the Grand Banks, commonly called the Banks of New- fonndland, fog is frequent, but not on the Island generally. The area of Newfoundland is 42,7,00 square miles, larger by than Ireland, two-thirds the size of England and Wales, and nearly equal to the size of all the Maritime provinces together. The largest iron deposit in the Empire is on Belle Is- land,' where three large mines are in operation. Other valuable minerals have also been discovered. The forests are another source of national wealth, there are two large pulp and paper mills, the products being exported to Britain and U.S.A. Another asset is the ,persistent beauty of the scenery; tourists and sportsmen, before the war, flocked there' every summer, and sometimes in winter. There are about 200,000 acres of developed land. All kinds of wild fruits are plentiful. Each coMmunity has its own denominational school; and the Canadian school system prevails; the larger denominations have their own colleges. Newfoundland sent more men in defence of the Empire in 1914-18 per population, than any other country in the Empire; the same ap- plied in the recent war. The speaker 'described at sonic length the annual seal hunt on the ice flows north and east of Newfoundland. Time and. space will not permit detailed report of this feature, but to we inland dwellers many- traits. of these marnals were mos() interesting and educational, in some instances almost unbelievable. For in- stance, imagine 100,000 or more seals on one ice flow. Still more fantastic is the fact that the mother seal, having swain a long distance in search ,of food, will return to her own particular flow, which -has probably moved many -miles and changed position among the great ice field, and then, believe it or not, she will unerringly search out her own pup from among the thousands of identical 'White, coats", as Itthe baby Seals are called, • Mr. Howge aPologized for having in his estimation, given just d rambling presentation of his subject, -but Lion Hugh Moorhouse, in moving a vote of thanks assured him it was all most, enlightening and appreciated.
