Hullo Kids! Last Saturday morning I promised you that this week I would g've you the biggest treat yet given to. the Gang! iSipanky and I have planned all the week just what sort of a programme we would have and afte r n. let of thought we came to the c.onclu."•'on that we could not put on a better programme than Tim McCoy in “Rusty Rules Again.” Our Gang in “Second Childhood'.” Laurel 'and Hardy in “Midnight Patrol/’ a Coloured Musical Revue, a Pete Smith Novelty, and the last chapter of “Call of the Savage.” Then of course we simply must hove our usual gift to members, and whnt could be better than a slap of chocolate, which has the face of your favourite screen star stam'ped on it. Remember' how you enjoyed the community singing last time. Well what say we try it again next Saturday. You just learn “Covered Waggon” and

“Home on The Range," and we'll see how it goes at the matinee. Well Kids. 1 think that is about all for the present. 1 have lots more ‘to tell you but that can -wait until I see you all on Saturday.—UNCLE TOM.
