reports OF the secretary and treas
urer were most gratifying although
inc year has been a very quiet one
owing to the war conditions and The
giving up OF all social affairs. The
annual Christmas sale was also CIV
en- up and in every possible manner
the members of the alliance have de-
voted their time to Holk for REQ
Cross. Mrs. Wilson gave most in
tereSting report OF her work with
the Campfire and Blue Birds and q
rising vote of thanks was extended
to her by the Alliance for the splen-
did work she has done with the
girls OF the parish.
The last meeting of the season was
booked for April 4th, wnen the
Campfire and Blue Birds are to en-
terrain. This meeting has been post
poned for time, however, and the
date will be announced later. 1t win
close the season for the summer va

Browns Corner but on the return

and Camden Is Is miles and thes,
young misses have undoubtedly es.

when walking is anything but easy
for the country roads are sloppy, ic.
and muddy in places.
