Keep the date in mind ladies! During a cnat with Mrs. H. W. Brown, Chairman of Women‘s War Work, we learned that there is a dire need for Red Cross workers. In the sewing rooms at the Bardesâ€" sono home there are quotas to be tilled for civilian garments, Wi.nter underwear and babiecs‘ sleeping bags. Now don‘t think that you have to be an expert seamstress to go alcmg there and lend a welling hand to make some of these urgentâ€" ly needed clothes. There is always a supervisor and assistants to exâ€" plain what has to be done and in the Wool Room, located in the Municipal Building there is an ampie supply of wocl, easyâ€"toâ€"folâ€" low instructions, and a supervisor who is ever ready to explain anyâ€" thing about which you may be in doubnt. Turtleâ€"neck sweaters are among the urgently needed knitted garments. W.th the approach of winter it hardly seems necessary to stress the need of warm cothes fir civilians and service personncl, espccially just now when we are experiencing our first taste of coldâ€" er weather, but are fortunate enough to be able to go to a cedar chest or a store and furnish ourâ€" selves with extra warmth for the winter. So ladies, those of you, e.ther in groups or individually, who have the time to spare, will you please visit one of our Red Cross centres and help along this grand work? And to yeu ladiecs who are in the habit of going rcâ€" gularly please don‘t let your efforts slacken in the hurry and bustle of Christmas preparatipns, life still goes on for the less fortunate onts.

The booths were attractively decorâ€" ated with coloured tissue paper. Two novelty booths drew much atâ€" tention from the visitors; One was a Touchâ€"andâ€"Take booth, the . various ariicles on d‘splay being already pricâ€" ed and wrapped, and the Parcel Post Booth contained parcels which had been sent to different members of the association to be sold (unopened) at the Bazaar for twenty five cents.

Everybody Welcome. Bazaar and Afternoon Tea are holding their annua THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO from ASâ€"~ The spirit of Christmas and the thought of the gallant men and woâ€" men on service overseas are the two predominant ideas that seem to perâ€" meate the Christmas issue of The St. Matthew‘s Church News. The Christâ€" mas thought and thought for those overseas start with the title design on the cover of the little journal. The design is appropriate to Christmas time in this country, while the words, "A Sincere Wish from Home," sugâ€" gests that the men overseas were proâ€" minently in mind when the design was sketched. Containing items of general interest, as well as a large number of items of chureh news, The St. Matâ€" thew‘s Church News will find many eager and interested readers overseas, and so it is pleasing to be informed that a large number of copies of the paper have been mailed overseas, to reach there before Christmas. To very many the little paper will be a welâ€" come and treasured Christmas gift from â€" home, with its intimate and earnest friendliness. Rev. A. R. Childâ€" wick, the new rector, has a persional message in the issue, in which it is shown that the battie against greed and aggression and brutality and unâ€" fairness that is being waged so galâ€" lantly overseas has also to be waged on the home front against the forces of evil and injus ice, and the rector believes that the church should play 1ts full part in this battle, The Chriâ€" stmas editorial by Mrs. A. Gadsby is pleasantly along unusual lines, while the editorial by the coâ€"editor, Miss Audrey Paice, also has the spirit of Chr‘stmas for it pleads for that spirit working together that won ‘out in Britain‘s darkest days. A genâ€" uine gem in the line of humour is the ‘altlclc contributed by Mrs. Helen Crew Lake, "Married Men Make the Best Soldiers." Fifty Students in English Classes for Finnishâ€"Speaking Fifty students have enrolled thus far in the classes of the free. English Language Evening School for Finnishâ€" speaking adults conducted by the Revâ€" erend A. I.

Good Luck! Miss E. Cltawdrthy was the guest of St. Matthew‘s Brownie Pack last Friday evening. The Brownies thorâ€" oughly enjoyed their game "What time is it, Mrs. Fox?" WThe Tenderpads were taught the fundamentals of Browâ€" nie Work by Brown Owl Read. One group under Brown Wing Stickley learnt knots while another under Grey Wing Channon learnt the rules of the road. Part cX the meeting was spent learning three new songs for the com.â€" ing Guide and Brownie week. The Brownies then sang their "Good Night Song" and skipped home. Hall on Wednesday evening. The Golâ€" den Bar and Golden Hand Brownies are busily dressing dolls earning their sewing and knitting badges) While the Tweenies are making toys, Jeannic Smith and Catherine Burt were welâ€" ccmed to the pack.
