This lat- ter was most amusing, and all of the songs were very much enjoyed. iss Carol Smith, accompan- fed at the piano by Miss Ruth Mitchell, sang Christmas selec- tions, a most beautiful one being "Twas the Birthday of a King'. The blending of Miss Smith's clear, pure tones with the fine performance of the accompanist marked a very finished. per- formance and one which was enthusiastically received. The classes for the Club Show were judged by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ing, and they were as fol- lows: Class 1. Winter Bouquet: Mrs. James Crawforth, Mrs. 0. J. joore. : Class 2. Door decoration: Mrs. J. S.

At the November meeting of the Club, Gerald Cowan was the speaker. He showed many of his own beautiful colored slides and commented on them. Pic- tures of flowers and flower 'gar- dens in many places, held the interest of the audience. These ranged geographically from Kew Gardens in England, lovely spots in Scotland and Ireland, to the Royal Botanical Gardens at Hamilton, Ontario, and then south to Florida.

A CANNON ? a | uttered by a disgruntled King- ston Frontenac coach echoed off the prominent walls of Whitby's Community Arena, yesterday. According to Bob Senior. Frontenac bench boss, the local sporting paladium is a 'match box arena'. Senior directed the comment to a Kingston Whig-Standard sport news jockey after the pelea trom.

Another group of factors that could have prompted Senior to make his statement were 2 number of injuries his studies suffered in the contest.

A fully-loaded shell weighed 118:pounds and up to 30 pounds of explosive could be used. A saluting blast required a paltry 10 pounds to make the neces- saty "bang." The report closes on this note of pride: "While the expense of load- ing, freighting and unloading has been a considerable sum, the County possesses two of the largest cannon between Halifax and Vancouver." Although 1963 estimates for transporting the guns will doubt- less show an increase from the 1902 figure, the difficulties in- volved in moving them to a new vantage point will be lessened by technological advances, But. until their fate. is. decid- ed, the., cannons: will remain pointing. their muzzles across Centre street as they have done for the past 51 years; a histori- cal fxture of Ontario County Whitby lawyer Hugh T.
