The guest soloist in the evening was Mrs. Carl King, a former member of the choir, who sang ‘"The Gift." Rev. Griffith gave five sermonettes on five of the first carols, each one followed by wellâ€" known carols, sung by congregaâ€" tion and choir. After a sumptuous supper, servâ€" ed by the Ladies‘ Bible Class, carols were sung, then the first picture was shown on the new movie projector.

A lack of amuseâ€" ment in that country brought out the hunter in him and among his belongings is a tiger‘s skin and a mounted head. "That is a moment I will never forget" saidâ€" Albert Black proudly, "I waited for hours and at two o‘clock in the morning I got him." Mrs. Black just smiled ‘"If you could only see the three extra trunks it took to bring his collection of skins and mountsâ€" now he‘s planning to catch a bear." The Blacks are really looking forward to Christmasâ€"this will be the first real one they have known for a long, long time. During their years in India Christmas was just another dayâ€"‘"we usually had our Christmas dinner on the lawn the weather was so warm. We always tried to manage a Christmas cake and as festive a meal as possible, but in that country Christmas didn‘t mean much. Our last Christâ€" mas in England was in 1939. We spent the day in an air raid shelter. Enemy planes blitzed us continualâ€" ly. We weren‘t thinking of anyâ€" thing that day but how to keep alive. We are planning on a grand Canadian Christmas this year and we are going to have all the trimâ€" mings. FORMER BRITISH RED CROSS NURSE TO MAKE HOME IN CANADA When Mrs. A. Black arrived at the Red Cross Reception Centre in Toronto she was completely at home. The big Red Cross over the desk, the girls in uniform and the volunteers pouring tea â€"all of these were a familiar sight to this young woman who served with the British Red Cross since 1938. During the war years Mrs. Black spent six years in India as a Red Cross nurse where she was in charge of the Mobile Unit. This is an operating room on wheels in which emergency operations were performed and many a life saved. Before going :to India she was a nurge at the Red Cross County hosâ€" pital. Mrs. ‘Black: was enthusiastic about the assistance given the air borne immigrants by the Canadian Red Cross. "It seems to give our arrival a personal touch as though someone we know very well is waiting for us" she claimed. {It wasn‘t just the Red Cross that held out their arms to her, however, her husband, Albert Black, who arrived a week ago, was at the Centre waiting long before the plane had even landed at Malton. Mr. and Mrs. Black will live in Hamilton where Mrs. Black will continue as a nurse. The Ladies‘ Auxiliary, Canadian Legion, will meet at the Legion House, Depot St., Wednesday evenâ€" ing, January 7th, at 8 o‘clock.

There are so many little ways in which we can be considerate of others. Perhaps the following are the most common of the smaller mistakes we make in etiquette and each one of us will, no doubt, find several which we will resolve to correct in 1948 . We could all take a leaf from the Chinése who, at New Year‘s, give thought to improving life from every angle, including etiquette. Yearly they resolve and try to be kinder and more courteous to everyâ€" one. So should we all. The Chinese don‘t fool when it comes to turning over a new leaf at New Year‘s, They religiously pay up all their debts as the old year dies, they make up all quarrels and they mend hurt feelings by lookâ€" ing up anyone they have rebuffed and apologizing for rudeness or lack of courtesy. If possible, they buy new clothes. The Chinese idea is to start the New Year clean, freshly dressed and minus sins or debts. New Year‘s is the time when we all turn our thoughts to selfâ€" improvement, and good resolutions run rampant in every household. . . and often run right out of existence about a week later! f iNot to monopolize a telephone . . .
