The opening chorus "O Canada" was sung in excellent style, followed by the newer patriotic number by Mr. R. L. Werry "England's Daughter". A motion song by five little gins - Hazel Werry, Geraldine Clemens, Dorothy Higgs, Lola Richards and wee Irene Morris--provoked much laughter, and in a Xmas chorus with Gladys Col- lacott, Aileen Higgs, Geraldine Clemens and Irene Werry, with Mane Werry in a duet, Marion Martin's exceptional vocal ability was enjoyed. Readings were given with good expression by Alma Cut- tell, Mary Higgs and Hazel Hodgson.

A dozen young men of the community appeared appeared in uniform round a tent and campfire campfire and were attended by Misses Vera Colwill and Clara Woodley representing Red Cross nurses. The scene was particularly particularly impressive when "Tenting to-night" was followed by the bringing in of a supposedly-wounded supposedly-wounded soldier by Mr. Bruce Honeywell as camp surgeon, and the last strains of "Dying to-night" proved even emotional. The closing chorus "The Land of the Maple" was inspiring, and the audience were impressed with the children's evident spirit of patriotism. The proceeds, $18.75, were devoted to the Red Cross Fu.id.
