And where was George? At that very moment, he was strol- ling indolently down the hill in Palma de Mallorca, on his way to the bakeshop to buy some of those crusty little rolls, hot from the oven, and take them back to the apartment where he and Elda would sit on their balcony, in their shorts, and have breakfast, looking at that same old monotonous scene-- the Mediterranean sparkling in the sun, And as I thought of this, I was so overcome by pity for them that I started to cry. At least, I think that's what made me commence weeping. At any rate, Iwas still sobbing when I got into the car and found it wouldn't start, Think of what they miss! There's the happy family jaunt to the Christmas tree lot, and the delightful, democratic choosing of the tree; "That one's scraggly. This one's bushy at the bottom but skinny at the top. I like spruce. No, we're getting a Scotch pine. Too big. Too small. Too much money," And who'd want to be in Mallorca on Christmas Day?

Mrs. Clarence Hardy accom- panied the children in a sing- song of Christmas songs and carols. Then the smaller chil- dren went downstairs for their games and the older ones had theirs in the parish hall. Superintendent Wm. Lit tl e has been transferred from the Bank of Montreal here to Stir- ling, so he was presented with a gift by Miss Mary Mathers, one of the teachers. HAPPY REUNION Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Birtch of Lucan, parents of Mrs. Clayton Abbott, arrived at Lynwood, Cal. by train last Friday and will- be living six doors from the Abbotts. Mrs. Clara Abbott of Centralia (formerly of Lucan), who spends each winter in Cali- fornia, is at. South L aguno Beach. The Abbotts are planning a get-together in the near fu- ture. The first Christmas program staged by the teachers and pu- pils of the new Biddulph Central School was outstanding last Tuesday evening. The children had been given a preview on Monday but even with their remaining in their classrooms the auditorium would not accommodate the number of parents who turned out, so some had to be seated in the hall. Ron Crozier, chair- man of the trustee board, was MC for the program. Jr and sr mixed choirs and boy and girl choirs were really a credit to the music teacher, Mrs. Clarence Hardy (Lucan) and her accompanist, Gay 1 e Mardlin (Gr. 7 pupil). The rhy- thm band and "Frosty the Snow- man" by Gr. 1 and 2 drew a big hand of applause. Grade 3 staged the Christmas Story while grade 4 chose "Christmas at G r and m a' s". Grade 5 square danced in a number "Biddulph Hoe-down". An amusing take-off on the visit of the trustees to the school in "Official Visit" by grade 6 was enjoyed by all. Grade 7 chose a choral reading of "San- ta went Modern" and grade 8 an amusing play "Here Comes the Bride" (with Irwin Gabel dres- sed up as the bride.) A recitation by Jane Crozier, an accordian number by Brenda Wallas, (with her brother at the piano), and a mouth organ selection by Roy Willis com- pleted what one mother reported was, "One of the very best Christmas concerts I've ever seen". LUCAN SCHOOL NEWS Inspector H. G. Schlotzhauer visited the school Dec. 13, 16, and 17. Friday' morning, Dec. 20, at a Hall Assembly all the children joined in a Christmas carol sing-song and in the afternoon each room had their own pro- grams. The nurse reports there is comparatively little sickness In the school at present. A Christmas Resolution Lions club hears UWO Pakistani At the Lions Club's dinner meeting in the Anglican Church basement last Monday evening, Anees Fheikh of Pakistan, an exchange student at the Univer- sity of Western Ontario, was the guest speaker. He was introduced by the program chairman, Kenneth McNamee, and later thanked by Alex Young. Mr. Fheikh spoke of the cus- toms and culture of Pakistan, its struggle for independence and its thirst for knowledge. He intends to go back as a teacher. Plans for the second bingo on Wednesday Dec. 18 were dis- cussed. Mrs. Herman Young's group of the Ladies Guild catered for the dinner. CGIT PARTY The CGIT Christmas party was held in the UC schoolroom Friday Dec. 21, beginning with a box lunch supper. Marilyn Hearn, Nancy Park, Norma Davis and Roberta Coch- rane were in charge of recrea- tion. Wendy Cronkite led in a vesper service and Louise Cochrane in a sing-song. Following an exchange of gifts the group was divided with Mar- garet Such taking charge of the north group and the leader, Mrs. Murray, the south group as they went carol singing to the homes of "shut-ins" where they left a small remembrance for each. Former resident given memorial A memorial service was held in Pickering High School for teachers, students, friends and the family of the late Richard Sutton Hodgins, a former Lucan resident. A government bond was purchased from donations from the staff, pupil s and friends in the Pickering district and the interest on the bond is to be given each year as aprize to the student with the highest mark in grade 13 English. A memorial plaque is to be placed permanently in the school with the students' name inscribed thereon each year. Urge caution for holidays Trees and toys, two delights for children at Christmas, can be turned into hazards through thoughtlessness and careless- ness on the part of the parents, warns the National Safety League of Canada. Parents, over-anxious to please the kid- dies, too frequently overlook the dangers they create. The league advises special care in decorating and lighting the Christmas tree so the happy holiday will not turn into a time of tragedy. "Use lighting sets approved by the Canadian Standards As- sociation (CSA)," said P. G. McLaren, general manager of NSL. "Check old sets for frayed or bare wires, always discon- nect the lights before retiring or leaving the house, Keep com- bustible decorations away from lights, candles, fireplaces, te- levision sets, radiators." The wise toy buyer, said NSL, will avoid toys with sharp or pointed edges. He will also avoid toys small enough to be swal- lowed or too large for the young- sters to handle. "Match toys to the child's age and abilities," said Mr. McLaren. "Extra care," he said, "can mean extra fun and happiness at Christmas."

From the Busy banker gets transfer William Little, an employee at the Lucan Montreal Bank, has been transferred to the Stirling branch as an accountant. Though only in Lucan for the past three years he has been very active in various organiza- tions. He is going to be greatly missed in Holy Trinity Church, for he was superintendent of the Sunday School and a most regu- lar and faithful choir member. In the Lions Club he was second vice-president and as- sistant secretary-treasurer. He was interested in boys' work and was secretary-trea- surer of the Lucan Boy Scouts Group committee. In sports he was secretary-treasurer of the Lucan-Ilderton Combines. BANK PARTY After banking hours last Thursday the staff of the Bank of Montreal met at the home of the Manager, Jack Steacy, for the annual Christmas party and exchange of gifts. This year there was a touch of sadness for they were saying "farewell" to William Little, an employee for the past three years. He was presented with a TV table and lighter. LUCAN LANES The report cards went out last Friday and Principal Jen- kins was pleased at the number of parents who, Monday evening, availed themselves of the op- portunity to consult with the teachers as to the progress of their children and how they could best assist them to secure better marks for the Easter exams.
