Gray, unable to return and the attendance in the various classes too short to make efficient work possible, All classes on the upper floor of the building were therefore dismissed until after the holidays in the hope that the epidemic of flu and colds will have spent itself by then as far as attendance in these grades is concerned.
 Miss Hagerty was the only mem- Der of the faculty in the lower grades to succumb to the prevalent illness, her absence dating from Tuesday morning. With Mrs. John Campbell as substitute, the work in these grades continued until Thursday afternoon when they were dismissed as a mark of appreciation for their continued work while the rest of the school was closed. The two rooms which had suffered the most from broken attendance were Miss Eide's and Mrs. McDade's.
 The entire lower floor of the school was very festive Thursday with Christmas trees and seasonal decorations. Small hands had been busy making gifts for parents and

Salvation Army to
 Open Soup Kitchen

In view of existing financial dif- faculties, Staff-Captain Acton of the Salvation Army is arranging that commencing on January hot food will be served to those desiring it.
 The present plan is that all chill dren whose parents find it a strug- gle to provide nourishing food, will be served with a hot meal at noon time each school day. The meals, which will be served in the Rev. Corsers rooms at the rear of St. Philips gymnasium. will probably consist of hot vegetable soup with bread one day, stew the next and occasionally fish.
 Adults who are in need of help af this kind, may bring a pail or other utensil at the noon hour and receive portion to consume at home. Mrs. Acton will prepare these meals in her home.
 This is not charity, declares the Staff-Captain, but simply a little lift over the road during these days, when so many find it impos- sible to earn lifes necessities. The meals will be continued only as long as needed.
 Through the kindness of the man ager of the Coliseum Theatre, a benefit show will be given at an carry date to assist in making this much needed assistance assured, Gifts of vegetables or food of any kind, no matter how small the quantity will be appreciated and called for if those wishing to give will call the Salvation Army.
 To date the following has been re- ceived for Christmas cheer and win ter relief:
