# THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 21, 1932 {Bowmanville Daily Times. €. K. BROWN, Office Telephone No. 744 POPP POP EU Representative: 1 matinee at the Royal ep on Tuesday afternoon in pid of the Women's Welfare Com- ittee, for which the admission new or d-hand clothing, : groceries or canned goods, was so well attended, every available seat in the theatre was occupied. e program of pictures, with ackie Cooper and Robert Coogan in "Sooky'"', and a film novelty, "The Magic City of Hollywood", was arranged through the kind- ness of Mr. C. T. Ross, manager of the theatre. Mrs. B. F. Henry and Mrs. Ned Bounsall, acting on behalf of the Women's Welfare Committee, welcomed the guests and "took charge of the parcels of clothing, canned goods or grocer-. ies, the total parcels numbering upwards of five hundred and fill- ed one side of the lobby. A truck was required to convey the '"'ad- missions" to the Welfare rooms, where they will be sorted and dis- tributed to the needy families, or given out as necessity demands. Mr. Ross is to be admired for his generosity in placing the theatre at the disposal of such a worthy cause. Other individuals or or- ganizations and societies, who have not already done their bit, may be expected to follow his ex- ample.

There is no use for colliding with a woman driver because you can tell them far enough ahead so that you can drive over in a field. and get entirely out of the way.

There aren't any bombshells to explode, in fact the municipal pot isn't hot enough to give off any odor, ob- noxious or otherwise, It looks as if the municipal nominations on Friday night are going to be a drab'affair, just one of those rou- tine, business-like, 'red tape, stiff-collar affairs, where every- body looks wise and says nothing. The names are readjoff, the old council gets a chancedto give au account of their stewardship, somebody asks a question or two about the treasurer's ¥ statement, but nearly everybody has the Christmas festivities in mind and as the fireworks are not in order, they want to get home. When the final hour arrives for withdraw- ing or standing for office . . weli, it looks like an acclamation; you know, cut out the expense. ST. PAUL'S W.M.S. OFFICERS ELECTED pray a, St. Paul's Auxiliary of the W. M.S. met in the school room on Tuesday afternoon with a good at- tendance. The president, Mrs. Kerr, was in the chair and con- ducted the meeting which was opened with the singing of a hymn followed by the Lord's Prayer repeated in unison. The devotional part of the meeting was taken by the president, who presented a seasonal subject, "Did the Angels Sing Too?" musical number by Mrs. C. F. Rice, who sang "Brightest and Best," was much appreciated. The entire slate of officers, who so ably performed their du- ties in 1932, were voted back to their respective offices for the coming year. For the first meet- ing in January, the president, Mrs. Kerr, kindly invited the Aux- iliary to meet at the manse, which was accepted. The meet- ing closed with the singing of a hymn and the Mizgpah benedic- tion, after which av social--half- | hour was spent. | ST. JOHN'S A.Y.P.A.
