December 17th. The children and most of the guests had just finished a very scrumptuous and plenteous pot luck supper when the arrival of dear Old St. Nick was announced. Thejingling of sleigh bells was heard and sure enough Santa quietly entered the crowded Sun- day School rooms. Oh. how de- lighted were the children. As Santa approached the Christmas tree and was seated near the hap- py little faces with big eyes full of wonder watched 'his every movement. Then the big moment arrived, each child was given the opportunity of sitting on Santa’s knee and telling him what they would like for Christmas. “At Thy Craale I Stand” on séii yrday evening, December 24, at An evening White Gift" Service was held in St. Andrew‘s Presby- terian Church on Sunday, Decem- ber 11. Prior to the service a light supper was served to the children of the Sunday School and their parents by the W.A. and W.M.S. of the church. The children participated in the ser- vice by singing Christmas car- ols. Jon McGinnis read the scrip- ture from Isaiah; Allan Cameron read "Peace on Earth"; Isobel MacDonald recited “While Stars of Christmas Shine"; Joe Scott read “Along the Bethlehem Way". Janet Scott“, John Magee and David Cooper took part in the presentation of white gifts. Mr. David Sinclair spoke on the meaning of the Christmas tree and the gifts. The story “If I Had Not Come" and the carol, “O Come All Ye Faithful" com- pleted the service. Zion Lutheran Church News Zion Lutheran Church Sdnday School are holding their Christ- mas Worship (Service entitled. As the parents watched it was a beautiful sight and one which will remain in our thoughts as a highlight of our children’s child- hood. The gifts were then given. Santa left behind contentment and, happiness which comes only from sharing. Simple as Temper- anceville Sunday School party was. it proved to be one of the happiest we have ever had. Mrs. A. E. Snyder and Mrs. J. McBratney told of how, with the birth of Christ, love. peace, joy and faith came into the world. Mrs. J. Cooper gave an inspiring reading of “The Black Madonna” and Mrs. R‘ Thompson’s piano solo delighted everyone. Members and guests enjoyed the singing of Christmas carols. Refresh- ments completed a delightful evening. White Gift Service God bless youral‘l'vaindmtgve a very Merry Christmas. Sunday School On Sunday, December 18. the whole 'Sunday School met togeth- er to enjoy an informal Sunday School session. The four Mitchell children, Janet. Karen. Hughie and Marlene. favoured with a Dutch song. Little Robby Prentice and Glennie Kilcup sang. The beautiful Christmas film. “The Littlest Camel Knelt" with com- mentary and music by repord was then shown the children. This is a very sweet Christmas story and was greatly enjoyed by all. The class awards were given out by the teachers. The junior begin- ners class with Roberta Wilson as teacher, were won by Chris Jennings. Senior beginners winners (tea- cher Audrey Herrema) were Jim- my Paxton and Kenny Lloyd. jun- ior primary (teacher Judith Pax- The children were asked to make a special effort to come to church on Christmas Day as there will be junior congregation but no Sunday School.

As we enjoy festivities with our families and friends, let us take a moment to greet a new neighbour who may as yet feel a stranger in our town, or let those who are remembering a happier Christmas of another year, know we are sharing in their thoughts too. So here’s to all of you â€"- and yours â€"â€" may you have a “SPONTANEOUS MERRY CHRISTMAS”! I almost found myself wonderâ€" ing why I never wanted a girl particularily, - while watching two such nicely poised young daughters Diane and Debbie a- round and almost anticipating their Mom's thoughts and wishes before she could put them into words. It was rather noticeable how HughMcConkey never stayed in one spot for long - a little ex- cited - maybe? Helen McDer- mott. who had worked so un- tiringly for Ruth on the phone and with letters, etc, wore her “Go Go Go" pin for Ruth. Pat- rick Salmon who was a nominee for the school board, kept look- ing at his watch. He had kept us informed as to when the polls were almost closing. about to close, closed. so many minutes then since they had closed and finally it was eight O’clock. Olive Seed just then showed me the wish bone she had been carry- ing around in her pocket for days -- and all of a sudden I realized I really was excited! By Toby Shore Around 6 pm. on Saturday. December 10. 1960, we visited Pine Hill Farm Maple and join- a lively group around a crackling open fire place. In that delight- fully appointed living room of that gracious old house. Hugh and Ruth McConkey were host- ing a buffet supper for some of their friends who were perhaps more than “a little” interested in the outcome of the days' elâ€" ection. On the whole our nominee for council seemed most unperturb- ed as we sat side by side, each in a wonderful old granny rockâ€" ing chair before the 'fire, gabâ€" bing away and enjoying to the full the huge array of a vaSt var~ iety of delicious food on our first round of the buffet board. I tried to listen in on the many conversations from interior dec- crating. old furniture and houses, new subdivision types along with the headaches that go along with first possession, horses and a higher keyed voice as Judy, preening in her lovely dress assured me, “that was the one she said she would wear to the party’ and young Peter resplendant in bright plaid waistâ€" coat and bow tie, overcoming his shyness to let me lift him up, - then lift him down etc, from the high spot he had chosen. John- nie was quite the quiet gentle- man Ior the most part but did mention that he’d forgotten to take home his tonsils following his recent hospital stay. 1 Seasonal Thoughts The specifications are that they, the Cubans, will send the air cargo ships for transporting and that the turkeys are to be complete with their feathers! Now normally the turkeys would be dead, plucked and in storage. You can imagine the “slight’ confusion at the turkey farm section of Shur Gain when, so far, because of the very small air craft made available for trans- porting. only about 2000 turkeys have departed and the remain- ing ones are adding pound after Hugh had taken some Pol- aroid pictures so while they were being viewed, Pat and young Diane and I decided we had to be where the action was! We took off for the Township offices and from there on in you know the story. Ruth’s family hung in there right to the end - keeping tab on it all. making sure the count was right etc.. until finally it was all over and Diane and Debbie joined in the shout- ing (or perhaps led it) as their mom was named the "First Lady o£~Vaughan Township.” Then it was back to Pine Hill Farm and the popping of that enormous bottle of champagne while toasts and more toasts were raised to Councillor elect Ruth McConkey. her co-horts. her wonderful family and to all the success and prosperity that Vaughan Township can hold. Perhaps there was a sizable degree of dissappointment we all shared with Pat Salmon but con- sidering his final count we all felt proud of his showing and knew that the next time elections rolled around he‘d be right in there pitching. The press had come along to help wind up the evening in the persons of Alex Sjoberg of the ‘Liberal’. Gerry Huntley of the Globe and Mail and Gerry Barker of the Star. The Cuban government has or- dered 21,000 turkeys from Shur Gain. (These transactions both took place between these two governments and Shurâ€"Gain div rect - not through the Canad- ian government in any way.)

Shur-Ga'in Cattle T0 Czechoslovakia Last Thursday, December 15, George Robson of Shur- Gain Farm, Maple took off for Czechoslovakia in a D.L.M. air cargo ship as a guest of that government. In the cargo' ship were 28 "high grade, disease free" holstein cattle that the Czechoslovak- ian government had bought from Shur Gain‘Farm and George Robson was setting out with them in his care.
