The audience expressed their great en- jJoyment by an especially hearty round of applause. The choir then £ang '"There'll Always Be An Eng- land," with the audience joining in the second chorus.

The idea for establishing the repair shops comes from Frederick George Philpott, former manager of a concern controlling £10,000,000 or $44,500,000 worth of real estate, who figures "this hobby" will help him pass his time and at the same time help innumerable women as well as giving employment to hundreds of others.

(CP) -- "Dear Madam," said the letter in which Patricia Dalton received congratu- lations for her work during air raids. They judged Patricia's age by her actions, apparently. She is only 12 years old. The congratulations came after neighbors told how Paddy ("if you please") scrambled through bomb wreckage to carry morphia syringes to her father, Dr. P. P. Dalton, min- istering to trapped victims. Paddy's mother prepared the syringes and was getting ready to carry them to her husband but the girl, clad only in pyjamas, insisted that because of her gize it would be an easier task for her than for her mother. Part of the wreckage was burn- ing and bombs were falling all around the neighborhood but Paddy completed her task and then went back to the shelter to comfort her six-year-old brother whom she had carried to a safe corner after the bomb demolished the building next door. Two nights later she discovered an incendiary bomb at her back door and ran for sand and water, at the same time calling to her father. The doctor extinguished it and Paddy refilled the pails in case of further emergency, "Afraid of bombs," she repeated after a reporter, roomy be silly.

Some mothers - will be them- selves out and robbing their chil. dren of happy companionship, at making Christmas presents. Some resourceful tecahers in- duce children at school to make presents for the mother or father. Vast are the moral and creative values from such procedure. Noth- ing a child can buy should mean so much to his parents as such a gift on which he has spent hours and hours at making, dreaming all the while of the joy he will have in presenting it on Christmas morn- ing. Then suppoze it is received with indifference! How could any parent crush the child's heart in this way! Consider also the moral value to the child from saving his own money to buy a gift for his father, mother, grandparent, brother sister, So used to receiving al- ways, the average child has little thought of giving to those dearest to him right at home. Let each or | parent, beginning with the young child, encourage gifts for the other parent.
