Many visit in village A large crowd was in attendance on Friday evening in the Women's Institute Hall for the annual Sunday school concert sponsored by Knox United Church, Belgrave. Rev. John G. Roberts acted as master of ceremonies. The Junior Sunday School choir opened the program with two songs. Each class from beginners to seniors presented either skits or songs describing the Christmas stories. Jayne Vincent gave a recitation. Ian Morton sang a solo and Ross Procter read a poem A piano prelude of Christmas music presented by Miss Sheila Anderson, candelabra with glow- ing tapers, poinsettias and a tree with its many colour lights and shiny baubles revived the Christ- mas spirit in the large congrega- tion which attended the Carol service in Knox United Church, Belgrave, December 24. The opening sentences and prayer were by Rev. John G. Roberts. The processional hymn, "0 Come All Ye Faithful" was Continued from page 3 a drainage law has increased so much. He wonders if people realize how much freedom they have lost in the last 30 years. "This worries me more than anything". We no longer know when somebody is doing something to us, such as assessing. Back in the 1950's when we had our own assessor he came right in the house and had a chat with that farmer. Of course he knew from the year before if the farmer had done, any fixing and generally the farmer would tell him 'I did this or that'. When the assessor left, generally he was happy. He reported back to council and said what was going on. He'd been in every home and he knew if a person had a dog."

The Senior Sunday School Choir closed the program with three Christmas carols. George Cull led in a short sing-song and Santa arrived and passed out bags of candy and gifts to all members of the Sunday School. sung. Scripture lessons were read from Isaah 40: 1-11; Luke 2:1.16; and John 3: 10-21. Mrs. George Procter, organist, accompanied the senior choir for their anthem: "Shepherds Shake of your Drowsy Sleep" and the junior choir as they sang "welcome the Babe". The combined choirs sang "Carol Sweetly Carol." Rev. Roberts spoke briefly on each of three characteristics of Christmas: "The Promise", "The Fulfillment" and "The New Way". count the dogs today as it was to do the assessing 20 years ago." With all the money spent on assessing, he says, there were more mistakes on the voters list at the last election that weren't there in the days when a local assessor handled the job. He doesn't blame the people doing the job today but blames the system and thinks many of the assessors themselves may be frustrated by that system. The present assessing system depends on building permits to alert assessors that changes have been made in a property but Morris hasn't gone to building permits because that would also mean a building inspector who has to be more and more qualified these days to be able to interpret the building codes.
