ed rpmmage with the rest of
us top,
I asked 'Esther Makins. and
Helen Cobb tp wrap all the par-
cels, knowing they could mot go
put in such a. crowd, but dp like
to help, This way Agnes Cam
eron and her helpers were hap
py, not- .having a. due, which
parcels contained what, What
a mob that was!
Ann Tillmann and Marilyn
Gregory coped With the "next
to new” and Elva Metcalfe.and
Edith Smith arranged the com
mission table. Nobody could fail
to recognize Flonrie’s fine hand
on the decorations. I lpved the
stockings so much. She macje
most of the aprons, too, Lola
Cook made some, and the little
girls’ kerchiefs.
Miss Macdbnald and. Mrs'. Or
mond had the treasure table,
they always make it look so
swank, and Jack Cook was the
furniture fellow, pricing and
moving things for three days.
George Bellchamber and Mor
gan Smith kept the cash rolling,
Dorothy Hovey is treasurer, you
know, and she really has a tire
some job, not only this, but she
and Ernie play host to Rex
Rummage and endure all kinds
of messages and what not, be
cause we agree with Morgan
Smith and only post signs in
the notice board at the Post-
Office to prevent littering our
lovely village.
We couldn’t possibly mention
all the seventy-five to a hun
dred people who help us so
valiantly but we know who to
ask each year you may be sure.
The day after as really what
separates the men from the
boys however, and this year we
had really superior help.
Well the rest is legend,
thanks to the wonderful cover
age your paper gave us, and
the notice on the movie pro
grams, Gordan Galbraith don
ates each year, we had a fan
tastic crowd. The “take” to
date is $565.99 but our good
sport of a Reeve "Mac” McFad
den, says it’s only a by-product
really. The fun tve all had was
the real • "pay off.” '
Once again thank you, thank
you one and all.
Most Sincerely,
