Anna) Eotertainmeit St. John's United church auditor- ium was well filled at the annual Sunday school entertainment held on Friday night last.

A bountiful suppei was provided by the ladies of the church and plenty of eatables . were left over. The program given by the young people, was the best one presented for some years and in places brought roars of laughter from an appreci- ative audience. A cantata was giv- en by the junior department of the school and comprised solos, duets recitations and choruses. Piano | solos were given by the Misses Bessie Cairns and Alice Heard. Russeli Johnson gave a humorous recitation on the philosophy of hard times, giv- ing as an illustration the story of the two frogs in a can of cream- one gave up very soon and the other kept on kicking, churning the cream and finally making a pad of butter to sit on. The moral was to keep on struggling when times are hard in order to come out on top. Misses Lois and Phyllis Wilson of Durham rendered a lovely duet. Other good items was a drill by several boys that appeared as though the lads were walking on their' hands they had shoes and stockings on their arms and hands and walked on their knees. One forgot himself for a moment and appeared over tne low curtain with his head and supposed feet above the curtain at one time. This act brought forth howls of laugh- ter. A star drill by seven girk was a very pretty event, as also was tht lapt number on the program, an "Indian drill"" by six young ladies.

NEW COINS IN CIKCULATION NOTICE TO CREDITORS Some are wondering why all this new Canadian coinage in circulation during the past two weeks or so. A ' local bank explains that most Yankee coinage of all denominations has been ' kept by the banks and returned to the ! United States. In order to replace the commodity, it was necessary toj issue large qualtities of new coinage, fresh from the vaults and the stamp- ' ing machines of the mint at Ottawa. ' It is apparent comparatively little coinage has left the mint during the past seven or eight years, since un- used coinage has been ksued by the mint which dates back to 1923. How- J ever much of the silver now being : put in circulation is of 1931 vintage i Detroit policeman who said women did not know how to play checkers intelligently finds himself in hot wat- er. Several of the ladies want to crown him. All persons having any claims or demands against the Estate of FLORA CAMPBELL, lat of the Township of Osprey, County of Grey, Spinster, deceased, who died on or about the 14th day of November, A.D 1931, are required to forward their claims duly proved to the undersign- ed Solicitor of the Executor on or before the 30th day of January, 1932. AND FURTHER TAKE NOTICE that after such mentioned date ther" Executor will proceed to distribute the money amongst the parties entitl- ed thereto, having regard only to such claims as they will then have notice of.
