This year the Christmas party took a different form to other years when last Sunday night the members of the Sunday School and their teachers met in the church to enjoy a turkey dinner. This was -£oilowed by a lovely Candlelight and White Gift Ser- vice in the church proper. The members of the Sunday School participated in the service with their parents and friends in at- tendance. On Sunday eveningv December 27, the York Caroleers will pres- ent 3 Carol Service at St. An- drew's Church. Rev. B. F. An- drew is the minister. Maple United Church Christmas Church Services Sometimes the commercial side of this seaspn seems to take over with its hustle and bustle, but may we not forget the true meaning of Christmas. The churches in Maple are planning special services so take time out from your busy day to remember and give thanks for the "Christ" in Christmas. St. Andrew’s Preghyterian Last Friday evening. the Sen- ior and Intermediate Sunday School Dtvlslon met in the Edu- cational Centre for their annual Christmas Party. Beautiful film- ed travelogues of Western Can- ada were shown followed by some lively cartoons. Gifts were ex- changed and an abundant repast was enjoyed by all. The younger members take ov- TU. 4-1361 Maple Notes er this Saturday. December 19, at 4 pm. for their Sunday School Christmas Party. Rev. Herold Davies of Maple United Church sent out printed "good wishes of the church at this season for a meaningful re- membrance of the Birth of the Master." Sunday, December 18, the theme ofjhe morning service was “Giving” and the White Gifts brought to the service were sent to the Fred Victor Mission and the gifts of money are to he used in the church’s program of over- seas relief through the M & M Fund's Christmas Appeal. In the evening the annual C. G.I.T. Candlelight Service was held. Canadian Girls in Training under the Canadian Council of Churches, is an interdenominat- ional movement and its aim is to present the Christian way of life to teen-age girls. The program consisted of the singing of Christ- mas carols by the girls, dressed in their uniforms of navy skirts with white middies, along with their families and friends in the audience. They led in prayers and appropriate readings for this sea. SOIL The service came to s wonder- fully simple and beautiful close with the lighting of candles to symbolize the meaning of the C. G.I.T. purpose as the girls form- ed a recessions! by candlelight. Sunday. Decembtel' 20, 11-30 a. m., the United Church will pre- sent a special Family Service with Christmas music and a children's story. Members and friends are invited to attend as a complete family. Christmas Eve, December 24, at 7.30 p.m., you with your fam- ily are again invited to. attend the service of the Nine Lessons with Christmas carols. St. Stephen’s Anglia-n For the past several years St. Stephen‘s has held a Christmas Eve midnight service with the hope that you will realize more fully the meaning of Christmas and set aside this hour to remem- ber the Birth of the Christ Child. So again this year, Christmas Eve Holy Communion Service will be held in St. Stephen's at 11.30 pm. Friends and members are invited to attend. If you have just recently moved to our com- munity, Dr. R. Armitage will make you most welcome at this service. When the Holy Trinity Church, Trinity Square, Toronto. recent- ly presented the Christmas Story. for the 22nd year, many big and little, young and older members of St. Stephen’s Sunday School travelled by chartered bus to sit entranced through the old but ever new story of Chrlstmas. The presentation was beauti- fully done â€" the costumes were colourful and the music by the choir and organ wonderfully and vividly combined to bring this old, old story of Christmas, so often told through the ages. to an ever new and wondrous fresh- ness for the audience. Christmas morning, Holy Com- munion Service will again be held at 11 mm. in this Angllcan Church. St. Stephen's Sundayr Bchqml This Sunday, December 20, will be the White Gift Sunday. with the children taking an active part in the service at St. Ste- phen’s Church. Sometimes good things come in bunches and then have a way of stopping rather abruptly. The children of St. Stephen’s Sunday School are spreading out their holiday fun and plan to attend their S. S. Christmas Party on Tuesday, December 29. The time wasn’t given but no doubt all members know and plan to turn out en force to enjoy their very own party. Pat Found Time Most folk at thls time are in a dither of last few days scramble to do their shopping and prepare for the few hours of excitement on Christmas morning. (Frankly, I can't stand those few who snap their fingers and say they are all shopped. wrapped and in control â€" only because it could never happen to me!) “A” cub pack, the other night got caught up in the Christmas decorating excitement when Pat Davis somehow found time to‘ attend their meeting and help to guide these eager beavers in mak- ing all manner of decorations. Pat found it most interesting to watch the enthusiasm and pre- cision shown. when first they started to string cranberries and popcorn. What started out to be so many red, then so many white, ended up in the red almost com- pletely. After all a cub gets hun- gry even when he is on an ar- tistic kickl! The boys' imagina- tion, by trial and error, produc- ed some interesteding asbestos candle holders, ash trays, sparkle covered candles with sequins yet and seasonal window decorations. On behalf of the parents of the Cubs, we'd like to take this spot to thank Pat for this interest as well as the many other times she has gone up to read to the boys about the jungle lore that is the basis for their cub movement. Thanks, too. to the leaders of both cub packs and scout troop for their interest in our boys and Scouting at large. Sometimes coping week after week with such active and exuberant boys it must truly seem a thankless task. It is also very often taken for granted by the parents that a leader just naturally goes with a pack or troop but we neglect to realize and appreciate the fact that these leaders freely give of their time and effort each week and in return receive only the satisfaction of a job well done and the respect and loyalty of the boys who through them. en- joy scouting .and retain a healthy respect for all that scouting stands for. Many, many thanks. Maple Women's Institute Members and friends of Maple W.I. had a very enjoyable even- ing at the home of Mrs. Gordon Watson. Wednesday evening, December 9.

A few weeks ago in order to? buoy up a new member in our community by name of Barb Downey â€" and make her feel more one of us â€" we very mag- nanimously (ouch) allowed a brief 'yay’ to be raised in support of a hockey team, other than our own favourite choice. You see Bfrb's brother-in-law plays on that team -- well he's Dean Prentice and the team is the New York Rangers. Previous to our press release, the Rangers were sort of low man on the totem pole andâ€"wellâ€"since appearing in this column with only one mild ‘yay', that Dean boy has been knocking goals of! one by one and in groups of two. It only goes to show you. Speaking of “It Pays to Adver- tise" â€"- (were we?) Greg Shore received 22 calls after placing an ad in “The Liberal" for the sell- ing of his train. He didn’t sell it mind you, BUT it sure proved that people read the ads in “The Liberal"! Which all reminds me, it you haven’t called Michael Weir at AL. 7-1513 â€" you should. That’s the only way he has of knowing you’d like to have “The Liberal" delivered to your door each and every Thursday. Turkey! Did Anyone? If you‘can't read it here. it’s our turn to. ask â€" who won the birds at the Maple Lions Club Turkey Shoot last Saturday? So sorry the weather was unco-op- eratlve.

Now. him? about that“ Cubs and;Scouts At least eighty adults and children attended the annual Cub Scout Christmas party held on December 10 at. Edgeley Hall. Each Cub and Scout received a T-shlrt bearing the Boy Scout or Wolf Cub emblem as a gift from the Mothers’ Auxiliary. The boys bought gifts for their leaders. Karen Whatley received a utility bag and each of the men Scout- ers received a heavy cotton sweat shirt. Over sixty bags were given out to the children and a de- licious lunch was servec too. Carols were sung and Mr. Gor- don Woods played the piano in accompqnlmrenrt to some of them. The day before the party. the executive of the Mothers’ Aux- iliary met at the home of Mrs. Fred Orr and it was due to the effort of these kind souls that the gifts Were so nicely wrap- pil. They deserve a very large thank you for seeing that the whole affair went so well. Home and School Monday evening the Home and School held its December meet- ing at the school. Mr. Amos Baker gave a short report on the new school board and said that the present board of School Section seven intends to meet with the new board. Mrs. Mc- Lean gave a report on the last meeting of the York Simcoe Council of Home and School Associations. Their discussion was based on the topic “Why Ontario has thir- teen grades as opposed to twelve in the other provinces; Although no real conclusion was reached, it seemed that; the gen- eral opinion was that the thir- tâ€"en grades are ngcepsary: ‘ To replace the “Battered Ban- ner" for attendance. Mr. McLean donated a painting of a local scene. The painting will help to beautify Mr. Henry's class- room {or the following month. The rest of the programme consisted of carol singing led by Mr. Wrigler who had the group singing “Silent Night" in four parts very effectively. A: one member said it made the other carols sound rather gmpty. _ Two films were shown, "The Littlest Angel,” in 'lovely little Christmas story, ’and a travel- ogue on Quetico Provincial Park on Lake Superior. The latter film was very scenic and at times breathtaking and made the viewers wonder now and then whether we really have taken over the country from the In- dians even yet. The next meeting will be “January” and the guest speaker will be Mrs. John Martin, Maple, who. is chairman of the York Comty. Mental Health Associa- tion. Her topic will of course be Mental Health.
