The guests were seated around tables decorated with flags and flowers and a program of entertainment was introduced by the master of ceremonies, M. Nord-gaard. Ingvald Fenness was the first speaker. In a thoughtful speech he outlined the history of the choir which in reality was organized in 1930. The problems of keeping a choral independent organization together were not easily solved, the speaker stated and he attributed, the success of the choir largely pj the painstaking work of Peter Lien. Mr. Lien expressed his satisfaction at having had good cooperation from the choir members during these years. Entertainment of the lighter kind was presented by the master of ceremonies who gave humorous stories to fill In the gaps. Nels Gundersen sang a special review song dealing with the charac teristics of all the singers. This review drew great applause and Mr. Gundersen had to sing another of his popular songs. Mel Skalmerud sang two songs to his own guitar accompaniment. They were well received by the audience. B. Petersen recited verses which he had written in the form of a review dating back to the year 1930. Rudolph Olsen the present president of the ciioir, spoke 'on the aims of the Varden Choir, pointing out that the word "Varden" meant "Beacon" and the choir was In a sense a beacon, he said. A very Impressive ceremony took place when H. Olsen called up the charter members, eight in number, and invested each with a badge of honor.

U tanJ u m r. 3 ' i m -' a ir K C " I.., L- ml ' MM inpif COTTON is not grown in Canada our climate is too cold. Very little Nickel is mined in the United States most deposits so far covered th.ere cannot be mined at a profit. So Canada imports American cotton. The United States imports Canadian Nickel. Each product helps to pay for the other. Canada produces 90 per cent of the world's Nickel, but uses less than three per cent. So we must continue to export Canadian Nickel if we are to continue to employ thousands of Canadians in the Nickel mines, smelters and refineries, and other thousands who produce the lumber, power, steel, explosives, machinery and supplies used by the Canadian Nickel industry. Canada cannot keep on importing from other lands unless she exports Canadian goods. By constantly seeking to expand .he uses 'of, Nickel at home and abroad. the Canadian Nickel industry brings additional benefits to Canada. LIMITED, 25 KING ST, WEST.
