What was formerly the Hyde dis
triCt school in the town OF Canterbury

hH enjoyed by those who are connect
III the project and by their

Following a custom of several years
| there was a Christmas eve service at
Mr.. and Mrs. Victor Smiths Allen Hill
farm in Brooklyn. This yearly ser
vice on the eve of Christmas is held
in the stables and is always impress
sive. Following the service there was
an entertainment in the Neighborhood
house OH the farm and an exchange
of the greetings Of the season.
Christmas eve services were held
in the Methodist church at Attawau-
gan. The church interior was very
prettily decorated for the occasion.
The exercises were under the direc-
ton Of E. c. Woods class of the Sun
day school. Gifts were distributed
from a Christmas tree.

Liberal Giving.
Those in charge of the work of the
Danielson Benevolent society in Dan
ielson this Christmas season were
well pleased over the generous man
ner in which the appeal for gifts for
| Christmas dinners for the needy OF
Danielson was responded to. There
was also satisfaction in the discovery
| that the needy were less numerous
| this year than usual.
| Quit of the rs families remembered
with Christmas baskets were about
eight consisting of one person only
and in these cases old, i'll, infirTn anC
lonely. The Christmas gifts came a:
a great boon to them.
The donations of vegetables this
year were generous and of splendid
quality, better, on the whole, than tn,
purchasable offerings Of potatoes
onions, carrots and apples in market
The committee received all that wa!
needed for distribution.
| The Benevolent society is delighted
with the action of the DanieIson Fire
mems association in voting from tn
treasury of the organization $50 t,
be turned over to the Benevolent so
ciety for use in relieving cases o
need during the winter season. Hov
much money has been deposited il
Jars about town put out early in tn
month for donations to the Christ
mas dinner fund for the poor will no
be collected until after today. 1t
believed, however, that the sum is no
so great as last year, so the gen
erously inclined will have their op
portunity to make up the shortage to
day.
