Approval for the creation of the village of Seaforth by the Legislature' was given that year with effect from January 1, 1868.

Walton Resident Plays Santa Claus in LOndoiro Two young women, one of them a Walton resident, now in London, gave themselves the "best -Christmas present we ever had'? Saturday when they played Santa for 29 children at the Protestant Orphans' Home in London. Shirley Snell, 20,', and her friend June Higginbotham, 21, both single, sold Christmas cards to friends and used the profits, to buy .gifts for children they had befriended during the year. Both young women had been visiting the orphans, taking them to shows, on sleigh -rides and other pleasure trips. Mrs. Ma'deline Gillespie, ma- tron of the orphans' honie, said last night: "They certainly gave- the children a bang-up party for Christmas," 1So successful were their ef- forts that every orphan re- ceived two presents, a toy and a gift of clothing, plus candies. Miss Higgin6thani. said she and her friend were "acting like a couple of mothers" be- cause they both came from nice homes and wanted • to do some- thing for children who were less fortunate. Neither had .`a denomination- al motivation for the Christmas - spirited idea, sinee both attend- ed different churches, Miss' Higginbotham Metropolitan Un- ited Church and Miss Snell Cen- tral Baptist Church. ' "We were :getting so much our,elves at. Christmas time that we. were forgetting tq give.
