There are delight- ful verses inside some of the cards. Some of them are by well known authors. These can bring pleasure to the lovers of poetry, so why not make a picture â€" verse â€" autograph book of them? The brightly colored foil used on some of the cards make excellent candy wrap- pings at bazaar time. The backs of Christmas cards are very useful. As these are usualb’ plain, they become useful memo cards, score cards and telephone message cards. Next time you housewives encounter a few nicked glass jar tops in the canning season, don’t throw them away.

Following the game, unneces- sary time was wasted when some players failed to notify the driver they had come with, that they had gone home with their parent. Thus a needless wait and search for original passengers ensued. ‘ However, this proved a minor deal as compared to the Bolton “hospitality” via police department, that greeted the holiday weary coaches. Each one of their cars was non-festiver de- corated with a parking ticket! The added irony of the whole thing was that their engines must have been still warm as the time marked was 6:25 pm!

Never have we receiv- ed so many “gold” cards; from a silhouette of the nativity scene in gold on cobalt-blue background to a colorful creche on gold background. We were impressed too with a card sent from Norm Middleton who is in Germany teaching school. Norm planned to be in Nairobi, Kenya, for Christmas and for Kenya’s Independence Day celebrations. While history is being made everywhere every day, we still ‘felt that Norm was fortunate to be "on the scene” for this ev- ‘ent. Christmas Cards By actual count, Mr. and Mrs. Don Bagg‘ had 32 (count ’em, 32) guests for dinner on the Sun- day before Christmas. Aside from Joan's mother, Mrs. Milâ€" roy, of Weston, all were “Grand- ma Bagg’s” family and their families. Only absentees were Patricia and myself. Patricia having been under the weather with. ear trouble. We didn’t miss the turkey altogether though â€"â€" Joan sent us two home-made TV-type turkey din- ners which were delicious. Christmas Guests The ribbon bows on Christmas cards will delight little girls if you attach them to bobby pins or allow daughter to make her own wee headdresses. The little creations will look charming in dolly's hair. Save the cellophane sec- tions on your cards. These pieces can be used to make a stained-glass effect on nicely shaped bottles to create a pretty vase. You can even get a "leaded" effect with black felt-tipped ink marker. Then shellac the jar. Here is a very good use for old Christmas cards -- one which we have used for years. Paste a folded cleans- ing tissue on the back of the design you wish to use and then cut out a suitable circle to place under a cup in the saucer. It will keep the cup dry and beverage stains off the clothes. the parcel with a fancy de- sign tape or glue it on. The plain backs of the fir- mer cards when all cut the same size, make useful ad- ditions to your recipe file box. Then there are jig-saw puzzles which you make out of the cards with bolder de« signs.

Mr. Atkinson welcomed the guests and Mr. Roy Witty was master of ceremonies for the evening. The Sunday school classes each sang carols and the grown ups joined in. Two films were shown, “The Cana- dian," and “The Littlest Angel". The children received prizes for Sunday school attendance and everyone adjourned to the church basement for a delicious as well as attractive lunch. themselves with these on stormy days. They even en- joy making their own puzzl- es out of cards of their own choice. - Children also enjoy mak- ing pictures for their room out of used cards. Figures are cut out and pasted on construction paper to create the picture. The construction paper is then mounted on cardboard or glass and bound around with colored tape.

Skaters And Birds Are Feature 0f Winter At The Pioneer Village Home for Christmas Val arrived home late in the? afternoon before Christmas Day and ensconced on the chester- field. she was queen for a day of all she surveyed.

If you receive quite a number of cards each year, you might find keeping them all rather a cumbersome pur- suit. Then it is better to save only about a dozen cards each year and to do this involves a great deal of soul searching, as it is most difficult to decide where to draw the line in making the selection. You will have to set your own strict standard for this and once you have made it, it is best to stick with the same system of se- lection through the years. I have been keeping mine since 1924 and I decided years ago to keep only those of my relatives and a few closest friends. Occasionally another card which is parti- cularly indicative of the style of our times, is pre- served. The changing style in cards through the years can thus be compared. names begin to drop from that particular family as the children marry until one day only Harry and Gladys re- main.

Dorothy and Ken of Don Mills. With the day’s festivities over and the short but wonderful to- getherness of the family azain, Val is back again at T.G.H. looking for visits and mail from her friends. When Lori Wells read via “Maple Notes" we were look- ing for junior cub reporters on holiday doings, she thoughtful- ly picked up the phone to tell of a most delightful way of combining the fun and pleasure of door to door caroling and sharing with those of their own age group who may be unable, through illness, to enjoy the holiday time. Christmas Caroling The Brouwers family, who came from Holland. enjoyed the special carols sung in Dutch by the de Groot sisters also from Holland. Winding up at Shelley James’ Naylon Street home, for re- freshments, it was decided to present the $21.66 they had re- ceived f r o m neighbourhood listeners to the mental health association. holiday time. So it was that Glenallee Mc- Kee, Jane McKay, Diane Cameâ€" ron, June McBrien, Hanna and Leta de Groot joined her in the subdivision. Warming up over hot chocolJ ate and refreshments at Lori’s home, 42 Keele St. South, after their tour, they counted out the $10.08 to be given to the child- ren’s ward at the York Central Hospital.
