in by bagpipes and accompanied.
by four clowns, much to the de-
light of the. youngsters. Santa,

served to the children and their
parents.
,The feeling of gaiety and hap-
piness that prevailed was echoed
by a large banner at the back
of the stage, saying "Merry
Christmas to All."
The party was a complete suc-
cess if the happy smiles and
twinkling eyes of 500 kiddies
were any criterion.

affair was the responsibility of
