lined main Street last
Saturday for the brief visit of

the scene a bit more like

and current cruiser and set
the pace with lively music
and familiar carols. Many
floats tossed peanuts and
candles to the children in the

Denfield and Hokannson

taking third.

recently with the members.

meeting and read a poem
entitled, "Christmas Mor-
ning". A reading "Memories
of Christmas" was also
shared by Mrs. Don Hughes.
As the members entered
the hall they were greeted
with sounds of familiar
Christmas music, and Mrs.
Hughes, convener of Family
& Consumer Affairs led the
members in singing a few
Christmas carols. The
Motto, "I saw Christmas, I
heard Christmas, I felt
Christmas" was given by
Ms. Ruby McLean who read
the Christmas story from
Luke.
A. number of tips on con-
sumerism was prepared by
Mrs. Hilda Morton and read
on her behalf by Mrs.
Hughes.
Members were en-•
couraged to take a day
course on "Common Sense

of $10. was sent to the War
