Pleasant Banquet Monday Night Followed by Sccial Evenâ€" ing and Most En]oyable Programme Presentation Made to Mrs. Hemming, for Services as Secretary. The occasion was formally opened with the singing of "O Canada" and a toaséi to the King, which was followed by one minute of silence. During the banquet the following toasts were ofâ€" fered: "To the Ladies‘ Auxiliary" by the passâ€"president, Mrs. Price, reâ€" sponded to by Mrs. Shaw; ‘"To the Legion," by Mrs. Johnson, responded to by Mrs. Devine; ‘"To the Provincial Command" by Mrs. Finchon, responded to by Miss Mamie Borland. Following the entirely successful banquet, the Ladies‘ Auxiliary held social evening, to which they had inâ€" vited their husbands and friends. _A large and happy crowd were present for the event, which proved to be one of the most successful of its kind to be held by the Auxiliary this season. The annual banguet prize was won by Mrs. McGarry. Tommy Huntley, who is caretaker at the dam forty miles up the Mactagami river, and who makss a trip to town about twice a year, gave the firss numâ€" ber of the programme, singing "The End of the Road," in a very pleasing manner, and inviting his friends to join in the chorus, which they did in a very enthusiastic manner. As an encore he sang "The Laughing Song," which "brought the house down" in happy leughter. The audience were so pleased with the style in which the song was presented, that they wanted to bring ‘"Tommy‘" back for another selection. Alf Bel]émy sang two popular fayâ€" ourites "Smilin‘ Through" and ‘"The Oldâ€"fashioned House." A Paul Jones was then introduced to bring together old friends, and to make new ones. This was a happy getâ€"toâ€" gether dance, and even those who just sat and watched the dancers, took part in the gayety of the music and the shuffle of feet. Mrs. Hardy, president, then exâ€" pressed in a few wellâ€"chosen words (on behalf of the Auxiliary) the appreciaâ€" tion that the ladies felt toward Mrs. Hemming for her untiring helpfulness and her work as secretary tor the past two years, and presenied her with an aeropack on behalf of the members of the Auxiliary. Mrs. Hemming thanked hbher friends for their kindness. and mentioned the fact that she had alâ€" ways liked her work, and would wilâ€" ingly have carried on as secretary had wot her other duties, outside of the Auxiliary, been so numercus. ‘"‘Thildren‘s Hour," and "Rose of Tralee" were the selections rendered by Mr. Bert Bridgman, bringing loud applause from the audience. After the "breakdown" of the evenâ€" ing‘s square dance, spot waltz was introduced, the winners being Mrs. Creig, and her partner, Mr. Donald Allen. The lucky winner of the cushion was Mrs. George, the winning cticket drawn by little Miss Dorothy Devine, being No. 56. The programme for the evening was concluded with two comical selections by Fred Curtis, one of which was "Archibald, Certainly Nct," and both of which brought loud laughter, and sent home all those who had attended in very merry and carefree mood. The pianist Guring the evening was Walter Devine. Novelties, paper hats, and noisemakâ€" ers were Gistributed, and combined with a dainty lunch, added the finishâ€" ing touch to the occasion.

The meeting will also discuss plans for the organization of a juvenile section of the association, similar to that now in operation in Schumacher. Whitney Chen Quan, Sudbury lunch room proprietor last week tried an unâ€" usual way to collect some of the acâ€" counts owing him for lunches supplied. He put a card in the window of his cafe reading:â€"*"Mrs. Blank (giving the correct name) and her sister, of Blank (naming the address) street owe us $4.00." How did the scheme work? Did the ladies pay up? Well, not according to accounts from Sudbury. Indeed, the sign put up to shame the customers into paying seems to have injured business for the lunch room. Also, there is the danger that the ladies named may sue the cafe for libel ("holding them up to scorn or ridiâ€" cule">)>. In addition it must be noted that | busines at the lunch room seems 00‘ have fallen off since the card went up. ; "I know it is hurting business," the} Chinaman is quoted as saying, "and if ‘ I were doing a good business I wouldn‘t | have to put the sign up.
