S. Steiner. We feel our readers are for­ tunate too. She brings with her three years’ experience as one of the best correspondents with the London Free Press as well as experience gained through at tive living in this community. Civic Pride To quote the Free Press, Mrs. Steiner is “the woman who got her job through civic pride”. Just about this time three years ago, ■ she decided that somethin^ should be done to see that Exe­ ter was represented properly in the above-mentioned paper. Her efforts turned into a small boomerang and she found herself faced with a request to write community news herself. Thus her first story, of the hob­ bies of three neighbors, and a continuation of stories about the town she felt deserved more mention. Sound Philosophy As our women’s editor, she has taken another step toward realization of her sound philoso­ phy that one can’t just sit back Please turn to Page 11 Features Santa When Santa opened the doors of W.

Afternoon tea was served to round out a very complete and interesting Christmas fair. Christmas Theme At James St. WA Christmas was the theme of the James Street W.A. meeting held in the church on Thursday afternoon. Mrs. D. A. Anderson conducted the devotional period. She read the Christmas story from Luke and based her remarks on tht meaning of Christmas. The guest speaker, Mrs. Don­ ald Sinclair, took as her topic, “The Things ' that Belong to Christmas,” the busyness, the happiness and the gifts. Christ­ mas is the climax of the joy of the Christian year when we rejoice in the birth of Christ. “The greatest gift we can re­ ceive is the gift of God’s son, and the greatest gift we»can give is our lives for Him,” Mrs. Sinclair said. Junior Choir Six members of the junior choir, Pat Cann, Jeanette Tay­ lor, Marlene McBride, Helen Jones, Nancy Boyle and Jane Farrow, sang Christmas carols.
