near future in Canada's great winter
spurt, if the young fellows are not
given a chance to break into the
game while young ? Beyond a
doubt' it is the young boy breaking
into the gameeearly in;life who gets
there every, time:
Every young boy, who belongs to
this great country of ours, should be
` able to say his winter sports includes
skating and the glorious game' of.

have been made in regard to
for this affair, but it should be rce
membered that Inc every person en-
tering the Hall the executive have
this year to pay a tax, and also,' if we
are to have a Club, where is it an ad-
vantage to be'a member, then it
would not be fair that our members
should pay a fee anyways near as
much as that charged non-members.
The executive- have found it impos-
sible to go around soliciting members
this year, and cannot do so now 'be-
fore our Christmas Dance. They
would therefore appreciate those
wishing to join, securing their cards
this week from the Secretary,.or
Treasurer, or from the manager of
the Club, Mr, Grant Fraser, any even-
ing. Membership fee for the season

• HAY SHIPPED,
ti
1 A unusually large " quantity of hay
has'heen delivered at the station in
Seaforth during the past few weeks,
On Monday and Tuesday of this
105 tons were received. As hay : is
bringing a good price this , a great
convenience to the farmers,
waded with that quietness, and with
that air of seriousness which charac-
terizes all periods of examination
where the students feel that 'there is
something at stake. The stress.. and
strain, will, however, soon be relieved,
for a short time at least, as 'the Col-
legiate will close for the Christmas
recess, at moon on Friday, the 21st.
The following account of the last'
meeting of the Collegiate Literary So-
ciety was composed by a third -form
pupil: The Seaforth Collegiate In-
stitute Literary Society held its third
meeting in the -assembly room on
Thursday' evening, December 'the 13th.
The crowd gathered about half past
seven. About five minutes before the
president called the audience to ord-
er, fifteen or twenty of the higher
form boys marched in, very sober -
looking with their high 'collars and
bow ties. .Some of'thcm looked very
uncomfortable, but it - seemed to he
the style.
"Shortly after half -past seven the
president, Mr, John Archibald, called
the meeting to order and received a
good response. Each and every one
lvieted down at once; most of the
whispering and talking was stopped,
hut some continued to chew gum.
This was later dealt with by ;he
critic of course. Following 'the pres-

FIFTY YEARS OF SERVICE,
The 'following reference to the
work of the Very Rev.: Dean Downey,
Laken from the Border Cities Star of
December lith, will he react with in-
terest"by readers of the News. Dean
Downey is' himself well known, being
raised in the locality, and is a brother
of Mrs. William Devereaux, Sr., of
the Huron road.
'tThe • : Very Rev. Dean Downey
and his assistants and -parishioners
are to be sincerely congratulated on
the fact of St. Alphonsus church hav-
ing attained its fiftieth' anniversary.
Completely renovated and redecorat-
ed at a cost of more than $25,000, the
same church that opened its doors
halfa century ago, is 'holding special
services this week in honor of the
;golden.jubilee. Tonight, the people of
St. Alphonsus .parish will welcome
their bishop, the Right Rev. M. F.
Fallon, "D.D., who comes 'here ' es -

1
The little town of that
time has be-
come the great city of today. And all
through the years St, Alphonsus hiss,
kept step with the progress of events,
her priests ministering to the spiritual
needs of an ever-growing member-
ship, teaching the young, comforting
the sick and the aged, caring for the
poor and needy and in countless oth-
er ways carrying out the divine mis-
sion with which they were and are
entrusted.
St, Alphonsus 'has played a large
and important part in the life of
Windsor for half a century. In that
time many men and many institutions
have crumbled into dust and forot-
tenness, But St. Alphonsus moves
forward - stronger, greater, nobler,
more powerful today than ever be-
fore. Its work widens with the pass-
ing of the years. Its field of useful-
ness increases as the days speed by.
Its messages of hope and truth and
comfort 'multiply and become more
and more far-reaching as its circle of
influence takes 111 an ever -dowing
number of soul's,'
Protestants of the Border Cities
will be one with their Roman Catholic
brethren in congratulating Dear'
Downey and the parish of St Aiphone
sus on this itap'py occasion. For the
Dean the whole community has noth-
ing but the greatest admiration and
resliect. Able, forceful, sympathetic,
he is one of the outstanding priests of
the diocese, His friends are legion
'and his friendships know no religious
barriers,
