Gracie has the luck to be different in her ability . . . she is talented and gay in a manner that makes all who hear or see her feel that they, too, are like this lassie from Lancashire . .. on Sunday, although she said that the strain of nightly concerts and constant travel had made her quite tired, she looked as bright and wideâ€"awake as anyone else would look after twelve hours sleep . .. she wore a forest green tweed suit, with silken blouse, and black accessories, and later, when she left the bungalow to tramp through the surrounding woods and enjoy the Canadian snow, she donned brown velâ€" vet cossack boots, a small calot cap (which, by the way, seems to be her favourite headgear), and to top it all off, a mink coat . . . she wrapped the coat firmly about her, snuggled her chin into its collar the way a little girl: might do, and vanished around the back of the bungalow. PAGE FOUR We could never get through all these days, If i; weren‘t for the folk with their kindly ways, Who carry cour burdens and help us along And cheer the dark places with If it weren‘t for the people who lighten the gloom. And it‘s now we have learned what a great deal depends On having staunch, loyal, and lovâ€" able friends. wWe‘d never be brave when the frightening things loom, . one of the things she especially enjoyed during her Porcupine visit was the serving of homeâ€"cooked meals and the opportunity to rest in a home inâ€" stead of the usual hotel . . . yes, she enjoyed her visit here, and certainly, thousands of folk from this district enjoyed having her here. While sitting and talking to Ann, Gracie Fields gwirled hornâ€"rimmed glasses, occasionally picked up a newspaper or a magazine on homes . .. these magazines, she said, were her favourite pastime . . . while away from home on tours like those she has made during the past few years in aid of the British governâ€" ment, she has studied many of these magazines, and has made many, many plans for her home when she once got back to it . . . but the intervals at home were so short that there just wasn‘t time for anything but just the enjoyâ€" ment of being at home . . . but, said Gracie, it was worth being away from home to know that her performances like the one she gave here, were sending back idollars that would help to win this war . _ and when it‘s all over, she‘ll relax and do all the things that she has planned while away. One of the special treats at the concert before CGracie appeared, was a little girl who, at an age of not more than four yvears, seemed to know all about music . .. and so she appointed herself as assitantâ€" ecanductorto Mr. Lomas with the lit lir laughter and song nductor ‘to Mr. elntyre band .. sved before the tle lady directed 1€68s ... .. hner . a1l elntvre band . . . while the band sved before the programme, this tle lady directed i; from the side» ies . . . her arms would keep aceful time to the measures of 18 Pimne st.

Flink, whose marriage took place quietly on Sunâ€" day at the home of the bride‘s parâ€" ents, the Rev. and Mrs. A. I. Heinonen, 534 Rea street south . . . Mrs. Flink is the former Miss Gertrude V. K. Heinâ€" onen, and both bride and groom Aare wellâ€"known and popular in this district . . . they‘ll take up residence in Torâ€" onto Good luck to Ruby, Linda and George . . . Ruby and George are Mr. and Mrs. Essery, while Linda is their infant daughter, and the family is leaving Timmins on Saturday . . . Mrs. Essery will go to the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Binkley in New Liskeard, while George has joined the Ordnance Corps of Canada‘s active forces . you‘ll remember George as the male vocalist with the Henry Kelneck orchâ€" estra . . . the couple became a mother and father last summer, and their dainty little girl was only three pounds when she was born . . . there will be many who will miss them, and especiâ€" ally, miss the part George played in adding to the music at many dances. The MciIintyre Concert Band, directed by Lieut. J. W. S. Lomas is winning more "fans‘"‘ with each appearance . . . on Sunday, once again, they pleased a large audience that was present at the McIntyre for another in the series of concerts sponsored by the Schumacher Lions‘ Club in aid of the Bombed Vicâ€" tims‘ Fund . . . soloists included Sergt.
