There was considerable exr citement among the children when it was learned that "Uncle Campbell," of 2YA, was present, and was to entertain them for the afternoon. All the children formed themselves into a circle, where they played games and sang many popular songs. Mr. Ron Meek kept his audience in wonderment at the magic he performed with his conjuring tricks, when he brought balls from nowhere and "swallowed" all kinds of extraordinary things. Valeric McMillan gave a delightful jockey dance, Joan McDougal and. Phoebe Lawson performed skipping dances, and Meta McKenna gave an Irish jig. Elocutionary items were given by Miss M. Burkett, and Miss Ena McLean. An energetic committee provided an enjoyable afternoon tea, this being followed by a "lucky fish pond." "Uncle" Campbell presented Miss Burns to the children, the "Queen" being received with loud applause. The singing of .„ "Auld Lang Syne" and of the National % Anthem brought' a very happy party to a close. Among those present were Misses E. Maloney, P. Tunley, J. .Sage, D. Barber, J. Lilburn, M. Poole, M. Croft, J. McGee, M. Cole, R. Ingham, M. Scones, E. Downing, A. Raper, P. Palmer, J. Bond, E. Kindall, J. Smith, D. Lambourne, D. Packwood, J. Skerry, J. and T. Chapman, J. Rowe, F.
