As soon as Papa and Bob finished the chores, they hitched old Polly to the cutter and headed to the bush with a sharp axe. This was the first year Edward was allowed to go with them. Papa said he was old enough. Emily thought she should be able to go, too. After all. she was only a year younger than Edward. Mother said it wasn't a job for girls, anyway. but Papa winked. Emily knew she'd be going next year. She imagined how exciting it would be to search through the woods for the perfect tree for their house, but for the time being. she was busy helping the younger children make decorations. First, she threaded string through popped corn and cranberries. Little Theresa handed her first a white pop- corn ball and then a cranberry. and soon they had yards and yards of red and white rope to drape over the tree branches. Next she took out the box of pine cones that she and MR. AND MRS. WAYNE HAMILTON Ruth Magdalena Martin and Wayne Allan Hamilton were un- ited in marriage November 7 at the Zurich Mennonite Church by Rev. Clayton Kuepfer. The bride's parents are Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Martin, Zurich, and the groom's parents are Mr. and Mrs Jack Hamilton, Varna. The matron of honour was Ann McBride. Zurich.

She threaded a piece of string through the top of each and knotted the string tacked above the arch between the parlour and the dining room. The best bough was hung on the front door Odds 'n ends By Elaine Townshend leaving a loop large enough to fit over the end of a tree branch. Then she dipped the tip of each cone into paint - some were red; others blue, and a few were white. Mother helped her form an angel from cotton fluff and add tiny tinsel wings. Ben and Theresa were busy colouring with their crayons. They had pictures of Christ- mas trees, stars, bells and colourful balls. Ben could cut out his own shapes, but Theresa needed a little help. Ben also cut bright strips pi of paper from last year's Is catalogue. Then he wound the strips into rings. Once he disappeared into the kitchen, where Mother was baking, and came back with a warm gingerbread cookie for each of them - a reward for all their hard work. They were so busy they didn't hear the cutter pull up outside. Suddenly the door burst open, and there stood Papa. Bob and Edward holding the most beautiful' pine tree Emily had ever seen. The tree stood almost eight feet tall and filled a whole corner of the parlour. Papa anchored the tree securely in a large bucket filled with gravel and damp sand. Mother draped a green cloth around the bucket. The extra boughs that Papa had trimmed off were with a red ribbon and an arrangement of pretty pine cones_ Emily twined the red and white rope through the branches of the tree, and Bob and Edward helped Theresa and Ben hang their pictures and the pine cones on the boughs. Because she was the youngest, Theresa got the honour of being lifted on Papa's shoulders to place the angel at the very top of the tree. Seniors enjoy festive party The Exeter senior citizens' banquet was held in the Legion Hall December 7 with a very good at- tendance. A donation to Children's and Family Services was made. The program was con- vened by Mr. and Mrs. Walter McBride and Mr. and Mrs. Tom Smith and was well received. Bob Heywood played several selections on his piano accordion, Mrs. Marjorie Arthur gave a reading, and a sing song was much enjoyed by everyone. Clinton woman heads auxiliary For the next 12 tnonths.

Parcels in all sizes and shapes were pulled from hiding places in the woodshed, the attic, the pan- try shelves, bureau drawers and under beds. Soon the presents were pil- ed under the free, and four red stockings, that Mother had made, were hung above the fireplace. Each stocking had a child's name on it. Bob was too old for Santa Claus. Edward said he was, too, but he decided to leave his stock- ing anyway. The logs in the hearth had burned to a rosy glow. Mother lit two green candles in her best brass holders and*' placed one in each of the parlour windows. The whole family stood back to admire their crea- tion - the Christmas tree, the whole room, was a work of MR. AND MRS.
