0V0! sixty dance lovers were pre- sent st the social time held by St. John's Social Club in the com- munity hall on the eve of St. vai- entixies Day. Mr. Adrian Rogerson, banjoist, Mr. Hilliard Francis, vio- linist, and Mrs. Leroy I-loivat-t, pianist, moved the dancers to dis- plsy their best in old-time and modern dance routines. The pro- gramme was impromptu and the musicians responded to s. variety of requests from their active ad- mirers. Mrs. CYOOYZE Wren and Mrs. Leroy Hoivatt revived an Iihiglish dance creation of the last war by demonstrating the "Boomps-a- Daisy" and its American counter- part. the "Kolil-Oiki", all 0i which spurred the laughing nrnud on to nmke the effm-i llll'll‘.\t‘i\9\.

"Just s touch oonspicious."

‘That. should worry her! Have you seen her dodging any spot. lights. Look at her now with that Aymon bird. Ho won't do her any good."

The two outsiders retired to the rail to smoke. The music died away and the girl, coming to the win. dow for air and catching sight of them, shook off several swalns and came out. "Oh, here you are!" she greeted them.

“Mr. Aymon?" Her expression was innocence itself. "He's offered me a joh. Better than secretary- ing, he says."

"Lay off it." earnestly counseled the manager. "I got to hand it to you that you make a hot dancing team. But. he's a bad actor. You might better pal up with Wally. It's only for nine days."

Mziida exhibited symptoms of contribution. "Am I being s. poor sport? I don't mean to be. Can't you be nice and sympathetic and understand my situation?"

"Nobody had to ask me twice to cooperate," stated Mr. Metzlger.

A small smile was hesitant on her lips. "Not entirely."

"OK. Just. toss us a. kind word now and then, and we'll promise not to interfere with your holiday pastimes. Here comes one of ‘em now."

Avmon was approaching with his consciously graceful lope. "I've been looking everywhere for you," he reaproached her.

“Did I miss a number? Sorry. I've been busy." She introduced the men.

Aymon subjected the others to a covert. scutiny. "I'd like to have a little talk with you, Mr. Metziger," said he.

"Yeah? What about."

"Oh, nothing special."

"It'll keep then. I'm turning in now.’ As t/he couple withdrew he said to Wallis. "Keep an eye on that girlie of yours, boy. Something tells me her middle name is trouble."

' Marshfield Budget‘

Are we better, are ws wiser. than we were s yes-r sgo? Turn the pages that are written, Does the record tell us so’! .

We ask ourselves this question as we stand on the threshhoid of s. new year. Our answer will be in parliamentary language. Let us bring down the Budget.

Much has trsnsplred in this thriving little community in the year '49. Life-long resident: have been called to higher service. number of new residents have been carried over the threshhold to begin s new life.

Wee balms have been flown hither and yon by Mr. Stork, glad- dening many homes. The whole world loves s baby.

Education is s much discussed subject these days. We are pleased to relate. that during the Year just past, the little school house on the hill was removed to s new site, which afforded more adequate play ground. A redecorating Job has been done on the interior and exterior, adding much to the gen- eral appearance.

Many scholars have come forth from her walls. The year '49 was no exception, when four of her pupils matriculated in to Prince o: Wales College, one of these being chossn ss the most. popular student s!

War on another front, thmight Wallis. This kid is certainly the original casus beili. What'll I do about that? Considering his recent. acceptance of responsibility there seemed to be only one course. He stepped through the opening, His charge stood. on defense, her shoulders against the bulge of a. lifeboat, holding of! a tall and boyish person whose visage, in the moonlight, struck the observer as suggestively pallid.

“Be reasonable," expostulated the youth. "What did we come out here for?"

"Not for that," she assured him. Catching sight of the white figure in the rear, She added an "Oh"! of relief.

"No," replied Wallis soothingly. "But that's all right."

"Whatcha. rigged up that. for?"

"I'm the assistant medical offic- er."

"Is he?‘ The request for confir- mation was addressed to Maids.

"He must be. Look at his uni- form."

Blessed are those who never gol- sip about. the faults of the church but work to make it better! Judg- ing from the report of the annual meeting of the Central United Church here, this class must be in the majority. Late in the year, Pastor MacCallum tendered his re- signation to accept a call to Cape Breton, N. S. I-Ils farewell message was very impressive as he told his large congregation that his great- est joy was Iminisfcring to the sick and consoling the bereaved. At the close of the service the different branches of the church veny kind- ly remembered their pastor and his good wife. We wish them the best of luck in their new field of labour.

Another organization which has been doing a Rood work in the community is the Marshfield branch of the Woman's Institute. Their monthly meetings are held regularly with a large attendance. When this eneigetlc group of women are let loose once a month it is equal to the atomic bomb.

During the late fall s Hallowden party was staged by the W. I. Many weird costumes and sounds were heard as the witches, ghosts and goblins of Marshfield and sur- rounding countryside stalked through the darkened rooms and halls at. Craggan. The judges had a spanky time deciding the winners. Lunch was served.

The funds of the organization were further augmented when s
