No request was made to the village for permission to erect such a sign and it was generally agreed by Council that it is not only illegal but not in keeping with the general ap- pearance which main street property owners are endeavouring to maintain. Iri other business, the Council has signed a new agreement with Bud Chamney of Auburn to provide garbage collection service for the village for two years on the same terms as in the former agreement of December 1976, with one exception ie. that pay for his services will be $12,000.

Christmas parties held The village is beautiful these days -in the daytime sun, and clouds above, and the usual breath- taking sunsets, At night a full moon and bright stars above, the occasional light skim of snow and Christmas lights every where: -perfect settings for fortunate children! Holidays have not even begun for the younger set but the number of parties is impossible to keep track of by a correspondent. A Sunday School party was held by Trinity Anglican after the ser- vice on Sunday when Carols were sung led by Lillian Higgins, and dear old Santa arrived in time to distribute gifts to the children. Lunch was provided by the Guild and adults were welcome so they stayed to enjoy the good time. Tom Penhale took Sunday School children from St. Andrews lor a wagon -ride -no snow for the promised sleigh -ride - and the party continued at the church one day last week. I haven't heard but I bet old Santa got to that party too! He gets around a lot faster than I can! The Scout groups have had their parties, assisted by their Ladies' Auxiliary and planned by their leaders. A happy Christmas for them all, Scouts, Cubs, Guides, Brownies and Beavers!

Vera Turner gave her treasurer's report. The bazaar was a great success and donations are still coming in. It was reported that in the penny collection the blues are riding high with the pinks trying to catch up. By mutual agreement, it was decided to hold the pot luck supper with our September meeting, but to keep the pennies coming for next year. .- The pennies from the blue and pink competition are given to the Sunday school and our birthday bank money goes to the new Rectory building fund. Eighteen memorial cards were sent out during the year. Many of these brought back sad memories of "'lends, close and dear to us. As the officers for 1978 have done a wonderful job they voted them all back again to their offices to do their usual good work. How about it girls? Everyone happy? • Our thoughts and prayers are with Ruth and Ken Mutzelburg.

(News -Record photo) Candlelight service enjoyed The choir at St. Andrew's United Church has been preparing for the Candlelight Carol Service for weeks. On Sunday night the congregation enjoyed the results. Candle -light from the window -wells flickered over the crowded pews. Accompanied by the Processional Hymn '0 Come All Ye Faithful', the candle -bearing choir members moved down the aisles of the darkened nave to fill the choir loft. As the rf r,::servic'e progressed, the musical numbers evoked the true spirit of Christmas in the special way that beautiful music has the power to do. The piano, played by Ruth Andrew, with the organ music of Molly Cox provided a joyous ac- companiment to the choir. A special delight was the duet sung by Jean Milne and Molly with Ruth at the piano.
