funeral service for Mrs. Joseph

Four more new books have
been added to Belmore Public
Library. They include two
juvenile books, "Mystery
Boxes" by Susan Hale, and "The
Old Nurse's Stocking Basket" by
Eleanor Farjeon; one inspira-
tional book, "Africa at the
Crossroads" by James H. Robin-
son; and a biography "Gandhi"

ing for those after -Christmas
doldrums that may creep in be-
fore too long!
M:. and Mrs. Harvey Bal-
lagh and family are spending
the Christmas holiday in Flori-
da. How we envy them!
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Vogan
of Moncton, N.B., Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Doubledee and Mr.
and Mrs. Walter Woods were
Thursday evening guests of Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Mulvey.
Sympathy is extended to the
Wilfred Johann family on the
death of Mrs. Johann's uncle,
Mr. Frank Zurbrigg of Lis-
towel.
Her many friends are de-
lighted to see Mrs. Elmer Zinn
back home after a stay in Kit-
chener Hospital. We hope it
won't be long before she's feel-
ing chipper again.
Friends are also concemed
to know that Mrs. Richard Jef-
fray of Wingham, formerly of
this area, was taken to a Lon-
don Hospital on Sunday. We
hope that her stay there will be
brief.

McIntosh Hi -C Club ventured
on their Christmas Carol -sing
on Sunday evening. Beginning
from the Belmore Church they
visited homes of shut-ins of the

brought much joy to homes they
visited too. They will be out

raise their voices in song.
On Thursday afternoon, the
choir from the Presbyterian

District Hospital for some sing-
