Social Evening Enjoyed at St. Coluniba Church The young people of St. Columba United Church, Priceville to the num- ber of 63, with a goodly number of visitors present, enjoyed a fine el- evating program given by the side capUined by Miss Marion Mnir; Af- ter the opening exercises the reading of a chapter by Mr. Elmer Hooper an explanatory paper on the chapter was given by Miss Annie Teeter. The topic "The place of pleasure in life" was taken by Miss Martha Watson in a fine written essay, followed by ^Mr. Leonard McArthnr with a reading on the same subject. A reading by Mr. Elmer Harrison on "Doing the thing worth while" was also a good selection. Current events was given by Mr. Donald Reily. To fill a vac- ancy on this side Miss Grace Ramage was borrowed from the Gold Group to give a couple of piano sjIos A short play was given by Messrs. Milton and Gordon Teeter, introducing humorous skits with local celebraties A Bibical contest were thereafter held by the four groups, naming the person from the happening or the deed performed as mentioned in the Bible., a splendid exercise.. The meet- ing closed by all repeating the Lord's Prayer in unison. In the meantime "hot dogs" were being dished up in the kitchen by that veteraft cook of the old brigade, Mr. C. S. Sheffel. These were handed 6ut by boy waitersâ€" this being the men's' treat all through â€" accompanied by a fine steaming cup of hot cocoa What if one did put in his cocoa a spoonful of onion salad, mistaking it for sugary if^only served literally, to add spice to the occasion. The social intercourse part of the meeting was closed by the usual circle of unity, and declaring musically. We'll drink a cup of cocoa yet for Auld .Lang Syne.

There is much conjecture as to the merits of the Proton Station hockey team and the Flesherton sextette with Dr. Lively off the line-up. Proton says they will win the next game and the locals state it is impossible. How- ever, the merits of both teams will be demonstrated in the rink he-e next Tuesday night, when the game will be called at 8 p.m. We understand that wagers are being placed ky the Proton supporters.

IN MEMORIAM Every four years Miss Lucy Mac- Donald has had a birthday annivers- ary on February 29th. This year she had a most enjoyable event, when she invited her school mates and little friends, about two dozen to help her celebrate the occasion of her 12th birthday. Mrs. Adam Smith took charge of the children, amusing them in games, etc.. After this came sum- ptuous supper. The table, which was laden with many good things was cen- tred by a three story birthday cake with its twelve candles. Mrs. Len Latimer lit the candles and Lucy had much pleasure in blowing them out. She received many pretty and use- ful gifts from the children and the grown ups. We join in wishing her many happy returns of the day. In the evening about 25 young people were entertained at the home of Mr. Jos. Sherwood in the honor of Mrs. Susan Doupe of Saugeen Juet. who has been visiting there.

May Shoot Dogs A reader handed in the follov " ig taken from the game laws, wh-h would seem to settle the question is to whether dogs found running " er during close season may be killod or not by anyone seeing them: Section 32â€" Sub-Sec, 1: No r -'ner of any dog shall permit such (' -g to run at large during the close sison for deer in a locality where deer usually inhabit or arc found.
