At ten o'clock he appeared at our door in a police car with the siren and red flashing light announcing his arrival. We had his rocking chair ready for him beside the tree which was brought back to the classroom (the tree had been on loan to the McCurdy School during their Christmas assemblies) and Santa read 'the Christmas Story to the children. Mr. Stuckless who has been Santa's helper for many years now, helped to give out the gifts. The girls received dolls and the boys Tonka trucks or bulldozers. Santa certainly had chosen the gifts carefully as each child was so pleased with his or her gift. The Luc an Legion once again was most generous in their selection of gifts. A bag of candy also went home with each child. Our group of noon hour helpers from grades 6, 7 and 8 thought- fully presented their Huron Hope friends with a candy cane and a Christmas card. Now that the excitement of the Christmas Season is behind us we are hoping for clear weather so that our taxis will be able to bring all our children in every day. Because the children are brought in from distances such, as Brucefield and Thedford and because the weather can be quite poor in one location and not in the other, our drivers do appreciate a phone call from parents when you know your own roads are not fit to drive on. It is often easier for you to make the decision about sending your child and we respect your decision. Best Wishes from the staff for a Happy 1977! Year end activities at Huron Hope school By MANUEL CURTS GREENWAY The Greenway United Church Women held their January meeting Wednesday afternoon in the church, The devotional service was led by Mrs. Ross Brown who chose as her theme "What makes a new year." She emphasized that Christ's life on earth was to be a life that would change mankind, so we, as we enter a new year, if we have Him as our example, can enrich our own lives as well as those around us. The president, Mrs. Jacob Lagerwerf led in the business session. One project just recently completed was the installation of Lake Huron water in the Church. The budget for 1977 was given by Mrs. Lawrence Curts, Dates were tenatively set for the variety supper, strawberry and ham supper and the chicken barbecue, Lunch was served by Mrs. James Eagleson and Mrs. Carman Woodburn.

Consider the grocer who last week advertised for a boy and the very next day his wife had twins — both boys. . Plan annual at Centralia By MRS. FRED BOWDEN CENTRALIA Visitors at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Tom Kooy on Tuesday evening of last week were Mr. & Mrs. Chas. Fisher, Mr. & Mrs. Jack Dickins of Exeter and Mr. & Mrs. Maurice MacDonald of Grand Bend. Miss Marikay Hodgins and Mr. Jim Files of London were weekend visitors with the for- mer's parents, Mr. & Mrs. Kenneth Hodgins. The Centralia United Church annual congregational meeting will be held in the schoolroom of the church on Sunday following the morning service and will be preceded by a pot luck luncheon. Mr. & Mrs. Ray Paynter, Kirkton, Mr. & Mrs. Wm Allison, Ailsa Craig were Sunday af- ternoon visitors with Mr. & Mrs. Fred Bowden. Senior Citizens are reminded of the meeting in the Community Centre on Monday afternoon. All five members of Tucker- smith Township Council have been appointed to the township's recreation board, once dominated by Vanastra residents. "I may get my face slapped, (for giving the township greater control in matters of recreation), but I'm prepared for that and I think you boys, (councillors), are prepared to back ine up," Reeve Ervin Sillery said at Tuesday night's inaugural council meeting. Mr. Sillery also said that names from non-councillors, (up to four) would be added to the recreation board as the council saw fit, in the near future. A decision was made to tour the Vanastra Recreation complex this afternoon, (Thursday af- ternoon), to give council mem- bers a better idea of the complex they will be administering. A report by Clerk Jim McIntosh revealed that the complex operated only $1,100 in the red in the last quarter of the year. He said the figure com- pared with $27,000 and $48,000 in prior years, costs and included final construction of the complex. Mr. McIntosh said the deficit would continue in a downward trend now that construction costs had been eliminated. "We need a good manager and the interest of the people in the area to make the complex operate efficiently," he said. Mr. McIntosh also said that the $80,000 deficit acquired by the recreation centre over the last two years, "so far it's really not a bad venture," Mr. Sillery said, considering the complex's estimated worth stood at $450,000. Up until now, the Vanastra' Recreation Centre has been treated as a special recreation area and its financial burden borne by Vanastra residents who pay an extra recreation rate of 16 mills to maintain the complex. Reeve Sillery said residents of Tuckersmith Township were contributing nothing towards the complex's niaintenance other than what they paid individually for the use of its facilities. The whole of Tuckersmith township farm and residential,. pays a rate of 20 mills, towards recreation in the township. Vanastra residents pay an ad- ditional 16 mills on . top of that figure to support the Recreation Centre. 'Maybe the recreation board could look into the possibility of "Pooling our money together and figure out how much is needed to operate the Vanastra pool (at By ELEANOR SCOTT The last week of school before the holidays was filled with many pre Christmas activities. We joined with the children from the McCurdy School to watch a presentation by the South Huron and District High School Theatre Arts class, They en- tertained us with several plays including the Shoemaker and the Elves ancrother fairy tales. Their plays were complete with green elves, scary witches and even a live dog. Our children had been preparing a short rhythm band concert for several weeks and Mr. Haugh from the Exeter. Times Advocate took a picture of the group in their red capes and hats which appeared in the Christmas edition of the paper. Our pupils delivered invitations to the five classrooms in the Primary Wing and they were a most responsive and attentive audience. All our children marched into the auditorium with Debbie leading the parade in her gold cape. Then ten of the children with their instruments went up on to the stage where they presented a variety .of five numbers. Susan announced each selection for us and she and Jeffrey also per- formed a duet on the triangle and wood block. All of the children did a marvellous job and we received lots of compliments from the audience. The day before Santa was to arrive was a particularly stormy one and although school remained open, only a few children were able to be brought in. However, Wednesday mor- ning was clear and nothing was By MRS. RENA CALDWELL KIPPEN The centre group of Kippen East Wt. met at the home of the leader Mrs. Robert Kinsman to finalize plans for a euchre to be held on January 25 in the Legion Hall, Hensall.

Clerk Jim McIntosh said Vanastra's mill rate would have to be doubled from 16 mills for five years to cover the centre's deficit.

The interviews are being held today, Thursday. Council appointed Frank Falconer and Bob Fotheringham to serve on the Vanastra Day Care Centre Committee, joining Diane Black, Doris Cantelon and Margaret Rogerson, who remain from last year. Two positions from out of council remain.
