Free, The Colborne Express, Colborne, Ontario. Dear Mr. Free : I would appreciate the opportunity of expressing to you and the readers of the Colborne Express, the Compliments of the Season. I would particularly like to wish our children the Happiest Christmas ever because this day is largely centred around I am hopeful that all our underprivileged or less fortunate children will be remembered at Christmas through the fine work being carried out by our local citizens' organizations. The many persons who assist these organizations in the contributions they make at this season of the year cannot be too highly commended. Certainly, their efforts uould not be duplicated by any Government. I hope that each and every one of our people enjoy a Merry Christmas and Happy and Prosperous New Year. Yours sincerely, W. A. Goodfellow, Minister. CHRISTMAS BINGO VERY SUCCESSFUL The Christmas Bingo held on the 14th provided a grand evening of fun to one of the largest crowds ever to attend a Bingo game in Colborne. With chickens, geese and turkeys as the prizes and with the town hall decorated with spruce trees, the atmosphere was definitely one of Christmas time. Miss Cecily Scroggs won a radio as a Bingo prize and the larger radio was won by Mr. Ted Chandler on the draw. The Rotary Club wishes to thank the many good friends who bought tickets for the games and so made the evening a financial success and we all hope that you enjoyed yourselves playing the game as much as we did in operating it. Also a word of appreciation to the many kind friends who helped out by taking tickets and distributing cards.
