To alleviate the burden which falls on your family. 2. To.insure that your wishes will be followed exactly. 3. To avoid the risk of wasteful, unnecessary over -spending. But there is another, very important reason for pre -planning a funeral --one which affects a great many persons. Not everyone has "family" in town. We a -e a nation of travelers. And, although long- distance, out-of-town funeral arrangements are not uncommon, they tend to be morn costly. If you do not have "kin" close by, it may be a good idea to consider a pre -planned or pr paid funeral now. Many provinces hove strict laws concerning pre -paid funeral services and burial expenses. We know what is involved and can handle the details for you. We'd be glad to discuss them with you.

During the singing of many Christmas carols, Mrs. Don Clark's senior class beautiful- ly decorated the auditorium of the church. Pastor Ash told the origin of the poinsettia. tree and candle. While the congregation sang "Silent Night", the class lit the candles. Mr. and Mrs. Dick Parkin- son greeted friends and Sun- day School children who at- tended. Barry Craven and Murray Sutherland assisted by Robert Rees and Robert Whiteford received the offer- ing as the senior choir sang. Boys and girls decorated the "bare" Christmas tree with homemade decorations brought by all who came and in no time the tree glowed. White Gifts of toys, food. and money were placed at the foot of the tree for the Salvation Army of London. Following this with Superintendent Bill Sutherland presiding, four short stories were ably presented. "The Advent Apple" with Mrs. Bill Sutherland slowly and carefully prepared a special apple for Ian Macgregor. Ian's long waiting for the treat is like the preparation for and expecta- tion of Advent as the world waits for the birth of Christ. Dennis Craven told us of the "Greedy Family" and we learned how greedy sounds. "The Gift Tree" presented by Bruce Karr showed us sharing brings joys and contentment. Giving willingly to the less fortunate was the thought from the last story, "The Free Gift" read by Faye Ash. In closing Pastor Bea Ash thanked all who took part in the service making it a suc- cessful family service.
