I’m spending the week
between Christmas and New
Years the same way I spend
it every year — rolling from
one meal to the next and
from one box of goodies to
another. When I use the
word roll, I’m serious; I feel
almost as stuffed as the
turkey, but that doesn’t stop
me from eating more.
It’s easy to forget last
year’s resolution about not
eating so much this Christ
mas. and I try not to think
about the pounds I’ll have to
lose in the New Year. Will
power is not in my make-up
at this time of year.
__ I might take a little time
out for travelling, visiting,
entertaining, giving and
receiving gifts and maybe
even working, but the main
emphasis is on food.
Gift giving is another im
portant part of the holiday in
our family, and it requires
weeks of hinting and shop
ping.
In early December, I
suggested that the family
could pool their resources
and give me an unforget
table Christmas present — a
round-trip all-expense-paid
visit to Hawaii to commence
January 1, 1979 and to con
tinue for the duration of the
Canadian winter.
None of the family seemed
to think it was a good idea,
but one of them offered a
compromise — a one-way
ticket to Timbuktu.
I took my plea to a higher
court, but I guess even Santa
has to tighten his purse
strings now and again. Oh,
well, I’ll try again next year.
My six-year-old nephew
gave me the next best thing
to a trip — a Road Runner
air freshener to hang in my
car.
A few weeks ago, when I
asked him what he wanted
for Christmas, I was sur
prised to learn how quickly
he was growing up. He
wanted a record, but not one

I tried to surprise people
with my gifts this year, but
my teen-aged nephew
wouldn’t believe his parcel
was a stiffly starched shirt
instead of a record.
Even though I packed my
niece’s earrings in a large
box and added extra weight,
she still guessed correctly.
Maybe it’s because for the
last three months she’s been
telling me to give her
nothing but silver earrings
for Christmas.
I shocked my brother-in-
law by not giving him socks.
Buying for him took a com-
bined effort this time. He
wanted a tall plant for his of
fice, and my sister and I
decided Mom was the
logical one to give it to him,
because she was the only
one who could keep it alive
until Christmas.
I gave him a planter to
hold his plant. Logical,
right? Unfortunately ’

My sister wouldn’t let me
see my present before
Christmas Day. I have this
habit of shaking and
weighing the parpel and
thinking about it, until I
figure out what’s inside.
My family and friends
gave me lovely gifts ag^in
this year. (I forgive them
for not coming up with the
ticket tOvHawaii, and I’ll
give them another chance
next year.)
Meanwhile I’m spending
this week between Christ
mas and New Years amid
discarded wrapping paper
and too much food but also
many wishes for a

PLOUGHING MATCH THANKS STUDENTS — Thanks to the assistance of many groups and
individuals the international Plowing Match held near Wingham in September proved to be a
big success. Jack Underwood accepted a trophy on behalf of the Centralia College of
Agricultural Technology students who worked at the ploughing match from Mr. and Mrs. Don
Young of the ploughing match committee. T-A photo

The staff and children of
East Williams Public School
proved courageous Thur-,
sday morning.
The annual Christmas
program had to be cancelled
the evening before due to icy
roads and bad driving
conditions. Thursday
morning found the school
buses still not operating and
almost half of the children
absent from classes.
Nevertheless, at zero hour
the general feeling was that
the show must go on and
parents were quickly
notified by telephone that the
program would be held that
morning. A good number of
parents and neighbours
dropped whatever they
happened to be doing and
came out to hear their
children.
Unfortunately with
many children filling in

program did not hold up to
its usual high standards, but,
solists Lois McCallum and
Donna McLaughlin with the
junior choir gave out
standing performances.
Janyce McGregor of the
kindergarten class was the
hit of the morning as she
performed a lively tap dance
in the kindergarten toy shop
skit.
Friday morning, January
5, has "been scheduled for a i
special performance by the I
grade one class which was
missing a high ratio of
pupils. It is hoped that
parents and friends will
again take time out in the
morning to hear their
children who have put many
hours of work into the I
preparation of their per

Half of the participants in
the relay games at the Ailsa
Craig Explorer Christmas
party were a bit bigger and a
little older th^n usual. As a
Christmas treat each of the
young Explorer girls invited
their moms to their annual
Christmas party
December 19.
The evening- got off to a
friendly start as both
mothers and daughters
participated in a number of
relay races. Passing the
orange under the chin took
on additional difficulties
when a tall mom found
herself next to a tiny
daughter.
The devotions were led by
leader Ellen Whitmore with
explorer Carrie Keith
reading the scripture
passage.
Each of the girls ex
changed Christmas gifts
with mothers also being
invited to share in gift
giving. To complete the
evening the girls then served
refreshments to their guests,
and to each other.
