I. would like to take this opportu-

pccially to those who faithfully
contributc material for the Grand
Bend news cach week.•Compiling a
small weekly paper involves the ef-
forts of many people who serve as
sources of information, yet never
sec their name in print. We couldn't
do it without you.•
May all of you have a Blessed
Christmas and a happy, healthy
New Ycar.
Onc of the highlights of Christ-
mas is the school concerts, and this
year we saw two, at McCurdy pub-
lic and Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
The sweet innocence of thc tiny
kindergarten children and the lovely
carols all stem to conspire to bring
a tear to the eye and a song in the
heart. There were concerts all last
wcck and Christmas came closer to
all who attended them.
The power of His love
is everlasting.
As we reflect and
remember, Christ's
message is forever.
We take this joyous
occasion to express our
thanks to all of you.
