WHERE BOATS GO IN THE WINTER TIME (Kingston Whig-Standard) The Tcronto Star has been boast- §ng that it has twenty-two freight- ers worth $5,000,000 wintering in Toronto harbor. The Goderich Signal states that Goderich has the same number of boats but that their value is three or four times that of the 'Toronto fleet, The Signal says thatg the vessels berth- ed at Toronto are of the size that they used to sec in Goderich 15 Years ago. Of course, if the Toronto and Goderich people really want to visit the place where the big boats do tie up for the winter they will take a trip down to Kington, where each winter they will find from fifty to one hundred boats. This happens cvery year in Kingston so we do not do any unnecessary boasting about it. The steamship companies like this city, Mr. and Mrs. Lefebvre Visit New Estate Mr. and Mrs, Gordon Lefebvre, of Pontiac, Michigan, formerly of Oshawa, who have purchased the "Holyrood" estate at Oakville, were in Toronto over the week-end and inspected their new property. It is the first time Mrs. Lefebvre has seen the place since the pur- chase and she was greatly pleased with it. It will be the Lefebvres' summer home. They will continue to live in Michigan during the winters, The Lefebvres have two children a boy and, a girl and Mrs, Lefebvre thinks the new property, seventeen acres of wooded land on the lake port, will be an ideal place for their children and their friends in the summer tinve, Mr. and Mrs. Lefebvre, on thelr visit during the week-end, inspected the historic house on the property, 70 years old, and decided they would fix it up and live in it for at least this summer. They plan a new house, but would prefer to live in the present one for at least one season so as to be akle to de- cide at leisure on their more per- manent plans, In carly snring, the present piers will be rebuilt to protect the shore- line and the underbrush will he cleared up throughout the property. Virginia II, the Lefebvres' pala tial cabin cruiser, will probably be anchored in the Sixteen Mile creek at Oakville during the summer, but during weekends and for other brief nerfods, it will be anchored off "Holyrood." which is only about half a mile west of the "eroel," YOUNG PEOPIF OF NORTH SIMCOF ST, ELECT OFFICERS Membership Campaign Be- gun By Teams of the Reds and Blues The Yourg People's League of North Simcoe United Church held its first meeting of the year last evening at 8 o'clock, The elec tion of officers for 1929 took place in which Mr. Alex.

The fines for failure to attend meetings during the year and the tees for 1929 were paid. Bassinetto Club Mre, McLaughlin, in presenting her president's report of the activi- ties of the organization in the past year, stated that the bassinette club, which is an active part of the Auxiliary, is elso doing fine work and is at present contem- plating the purchase of enzmsl bracelets or necklaces for the pur- pose of ascertaining the names of the habies born in the hospital, in- stead of the present method of the I=tring and tan. { President's Report : The followine revori was given: | "I bave much pleasure in sub- {mitting my report for the Year 11928, the banner vear of the Hos- pita] Auxiliary. In lookin: back [ am grieved over our lo:ses and happy over our gains. We have had eeyere losges in the personnel of the executive during the year. The removal of ony geeretery, Mrs Bull, to Dctroit, was 2a Joss that was greatly felt, The of Mrs. Millman was another blow to us, as well as to the bereaved fams fly. "Whether it month that lent Aenth wat the holiday us renewed inter- est in our work, or whether It was that we had a really interesting program of work, the fact remains that our total receipts are larcer than usual. The receipts from the Fair tent were above the average, owing. I think, to the extra effort made by ull the members to make a success of the venture. "The dance at St. Grecory's was also a success; and great credit is due to all the workers who contri- buted to the success of the Bridge at Parkwcod. "Our Hospital Sunday receints weré much below the average. This is one part of ovr work that could be increased. The Talent Dollar also fell unde- t"~ average this year, I regret to say. Seventy-two dollars was made from the Disappearing Bridge of last year. Follow-Up Service The donations received from Mr. Keller, Mr. Nathanson and the company of which he is President are most thankfully received and gratefully acknowledged. We ac- knowledge also with pride and gratitude the donation of $50, given us by cur newly affiliated Nurses' Alumnae. The work that they have done and are doing is most practical and useful. The thanks of the executive are extend- ed to each and every one of our members for their co-operation and loving service during the past year. Our Social Service Committee may spread its wings of service this year, knowing that they have the approval of the American Col- lege of Physicians and Surgeons who have shown their intention of meeting.

McLaughlin -- Officers for 1929 Elected -- Treasurer's Report is Gratifying -- Splendid Services of Miss Rans Appreciated incorporating a 'follow-up service" for all needy patients for at least six months, as a factor in Stan- dardization., We are proud that our Hospital ranks in Class A, in Standardization, Thanks are due to our Superintendent, Miss Mac- Williams, and her staff for that rank. The Christmas Cheer given by tha Social Service Committee also was another item of work deserv- ing of praise, and giving much pleasure to the donors &s well as the patients, Christmas seals, post cards, rummage sales, teas, fees and fines constitute the balance of our money-making plans, Sewing Committee Our Sewing Committee is uni- que in two respects, Firstly, no committee I ever heard of does so much work with so few members or helpers; secondly, no committee ever had such members as Mrs, Robson and Mrs. Lavis who Rive their time so generously and fre- auently, Each week sees the big nile of mending and sewing at- tacked and demolished, thanks to their busy fingers. The Easeinette Club, too, hag grown in interest a 4 prov Frown mn t and is proving a ; In looking forward to the New Year, may I bespeak the same in- terest and kindly helpfulness for our auxiliary as in the past?

In vear is one of four outstanding ycars in our work during the last cighteen years. A bridge held at Parkwood was a financial success, and our play, or musical revue, put on by Mr. Quarrington more than repaid the workers for their cfforts. Long Sleep Makes Baby Happy Again "Our baby kept waking us sever- al times a night, until we started giving him a little Castoria after his last nursing," says an lowa mother. "He slept soundly from the first night and it made him look and feel worlds better." Baby spec- ialists endorse Fletcher's Castoria; and millions of mothers know how this purely-vegetable, harmless pre- paration helps babies and children, with colic, constipation, cous, diarrhoea, etc. The Fletcher signa- ture is always on the wrapper of genuine Castoria.
