This plan is undoubtedly the life bilond of the whole building prospect. With the beginning of buildâ€" ing operations only two months distant, it, is supremely important that every assurance be gven by those on the plan of their continued support, and their endeavours to increase the efficiency of the plan. A lovely gesture. . . .is the placing of memorial flowers on God‘s altars in memory of thoae we hold dear and who have just gone on ahead. . . .especially was this true last Sunday in St. Matthew‘s when the altar flowers placed there were in memory of the memhbers of the Algonquin Regiment who laid down their lives in the battle of the Hochwald Forest, Germany, in February 19465. . . .especially reâ€" membered were Captain John Jewell, Lieut.

It is, of course, undarstood that this applies only to those who by reason of si¢kness or infirmity are unable to attend church at that time. The principals in the love story we are going to tell you about is one William Foster, 32 year old exâ€"corporal of the British Army, now in Capetown and Miss Lucy Fisher, 26 year old city shop assistâ€" ant. It seems that a clear voice singing an old Irish love ballad started the romance that will shortly result in marriage. Bill, alone and lonely was sitting on the verandah of the city hotel with thoughts thousands of miles away in England when he suddenly heard a woman sing.. It was so lovely he later explained that I could only sit and hope it would go on forever. Then I looked over to where the voice came from and I saw her, I wanted to go and speak to her but I was too shy, however when she looked at me I knew I would never rest until we were married Unfortunately for Bll the young woman left the hotel shortly afterwards but not being of faint heart he wrote several letters to her, gave them to the hotel manager, the waiters and other members of the staff, in the hope she would return sooner or later. Just when things seemed darkest and he began to despair of seeing her again he received a letter from her tellingâ€"him that she felt the same way as he did. Their engagement followed and they hope to marry early next year. "Yes", it sounds like a story book romance Miss Fisher said, "Odd isn‘t it when I saw Bill I instinctively knew I loved him Fun, laughter and gaiety was the order of the day at Broadway Theatre, Saturday, when hundreds of children members‘ of the Movie Club Broadcast for Bucovetsky‘s gathered. for their: weekly Sn h o d e 1 2 s V A C .._._ of SA PP _ dimg] ts NWP M ues ut 62M C M i. s MWPE W s O en Mc C13 C e e 0 oo jamboree. . After the familiar "hello mom" from the assembled memâ€" bers, attractions on stage, screen and radio held full sway.

Barbara Merci and Barbara Price were next and they sang with plenty of verve "Zip Ah Dee Doo Dah‘"‘. Morris Drouin then played the piano, giving a very fine rendition of."The Wind". Gerry Drouin and his brother Morris rendered "Sue City Sue". Julie Anglehart and Mrs. Wilkins at the guitar and piano respectively accompanied Anita Dubeau as she sang "I Want To Be A Coawboy‘s Sweetheart". We thoroughly enjoyed the jamboree, we loved the ringing voicâ€" es of the children as they spontaneously took part in the program and loads of fun was the doughnut game:.. We know it would be utterly impossible for anyone to keat Art Laing at doughnut dunking and eating up doughnuts by the two‘s and three‘s, but the kiddies made a good try and were awarded lovely prizes forâ€"their efforts.> A large aeroplane was given Rossie Clausi, and Phillip Sinardi won a pistol; these were donated. by Bucovetsky‘s Limited.â€" Kathleen Hunt and Anita Dubeau were given theatre® tickets, the gift of Mr. Harvey. | â€" B ' ; a .. i) 24 5‘ * «t Pnd 4 _ After the show, with fitting ceremony, we were presented with a Radge, whereby we became a member of the Famous Players Movie Club.

Sweet as daffodils and bearing a promise of spring were the refreshing flower hats shown. They seemed to be created especially to drive February from your heart. One chapeau we simply loved was an upâ€"surging model with a great big single rose posed dramatically. Another was the tricorne with mohair ruffles worn by Mrs. J. Hope and still another was the hat made of flowers poised like an earâ€"muff, the pink one especially was really cute. Of course veils are still with us, as they have évery reaâ€" son to be, flatterers that they are. Beautxful also were the evening gowns, and the debutante frock of white, complete with white ostrich plume and a second one of ice blue satin and net with blue plume. These represented all the ‘elegance bf a by gone éra with their glitter, glow and glamor. The suits . . .. without stretching the sober truth one scrap were wonderful. There was a suit for every possible taste in style, line color and material. . . there were gabardines, hounds tooth check, and importéd tweed.

The veil worn over the face was of Swiss tulle and her coronet was of starched net. The bridal attendants dresses were also of brocaded faille, one in blue and one in pink and a shirred halo of the same material fashioned their headdress. The effect was scintillating, flattering, gorgeous and "something out of this world." Mamie Shaheen was the sponsorer of all this.. | ' 5 i; To our good friends of many years standing, Mrs. A.
