• I hope— and I feel sure — you
ati enjoyed the Santa Parade. We
PrOtised that gach year it
should be bigger and better and I
honestly feel that it IS — don't
you?
Special thanks ' to those
tuaters • Ewan Ross, Earl
Ken Boyce, Wilf
Chapman and all their large
'grOup — I haven't all the names
but Olive Brindley is still
laughing. I guess they had most
of the fun, and just shared some
of it. with us. Thanks again
Folks!
I also feel the teachers
had tospend so much time and
effort with the children to create
their entries also deserve a big
:vote of thanks.
These people who
participated, I especially want to
know that we appreciate their
work and fine floats. Making a
fine showing for our town, we
are credited with getting other
,small towns on their toes and
creating 'more "' and more
enjoyment for the young and
younger all over the country.
Now 'with the beautiful
colored lite arrangements
appearing all over -the town
people are getting the lift they
need- to get the "feeling" of
Christmas. I believe the lights are
the leading factor towards the
true .feeling of Christmas —
friendliness — helpfulness — and
love thy neighbor feelings —
whether they live next door or
in a faraway country. The.
average use ofextra lights is
almost sure to NOT add to your
hydro bill. We all pay for more
than we use so g� ahead and
brighten up the darkness,
° The' next thing' tol worry
about is the Christmas shopping.
I am one of those people who
think about it all year but when
it comes to the time I have
forgotten what it was I had
thought would be just right for
this one and that one.
Consequently Christmas eve I
am wildly dashing about trying
to find that gift I've missed —
and Christmas morning when the
kids want you up early so they
can see their gifts I arn
bleary-eyed from the wrapping I
had done far, far into the night
— and so it goes!
This is the. time of the
when you: are either in the
doldrums with d tag let -down or
you are terribly excited and
miming around like mad.
That's me — running around
like mad. I want to do s� many
things that I don't know ,where
to begin.Shopping ' is just
hopeless for me — I like looking
but hate shopping. So you see
I'm having troubles!
' Sunday at the arena with
hundreds and hundreds of
,children was, agiin, quite an
experience. Just watching the
little ones talking to Santa made
you feel that the otd world may
not be too badly off after all.
Some of the children were
really excited .but most of them
were quite serious and
shiny -eyed and it was wonderful
to see.,
I thought the clowns Were a
real asset in entertaining the
youngsters out on the" ice and
everyone enjoyed a few df the
local Skating Club who were
good enough to do some of their
skating for us. Our "Thanks" to
all of them. Here •is something
interesting put on by the Young
People of Knox Church,, this
Sunday at 8 p.m.
This is the English version of
"Christmas in the Market Place"
the Nativity story presented
by a band of strolling gypsy
players which has become one of
the most popular of all the
Nativity plays.
First performed by the
Pilgrim Players of Canterbury in
'1943, it has been staged twice in
the Crypt of St. PAI's
Cathedral. It has had thousands
of productions, both amateur
and professional, in churches,
church halLs, theatres, schools,
etc., etc.
It brings the story of the
Nativity alive in all its majesty,
and contrasts the simple
humours of the gYpsy family
with their devout interpretation
of the greatest of 'subjects — a
story two thousand years old.
A well known American
writer on the theatre has written
of it: "The tone is a superb
mixture the secular and the
• reverential, _nevertheless it has a
contemporary flavour that can
only be applauded.
So with two people such as
• Gail Sully and 'Virginia Lodge
supervising, it is sure to be a fine
play and you should try to see
:it. .
Martha'
