Pine Program at United
Church Xmas Concert
A large gathering of parents and
children crowded the Sunday School
room of Wingham United Church for
the Christmas concert on Friday eve-
ning. Lloyd Hutton, the superinten-
dent, presided, assisted by Frank
Howson. The meeting was opened
with prayer by Dr. W. A. Beecroft,
An address of welcome was given by
Wayne Caslick,
The Beginners' class, of 50 voices,
under the leadership of Mrs. Albert
Rintoul, sang "The First Christmas",
while the Primary class sang the
chorus, "Little Children, Can You
Tell!" The wedding of Jack and Jill,
which was attended by Mother Goose
characters, all in costume, provided
much amusement. The parts of Jack
and Jill were taken by Douglas Ham-
ilton and Lynn Stuckey. Christmas
symbols were explained by Grace
Campbell's class, while Mrs. Lunn's
class told of Christmas by means of
letters. Each member of Mildred
Thornton's class was dressed to repre-
sent a country and showed the Christ-
mas customs of each land.
An amusing Christmas play was
given by two senior classes under the
leadership of Mrs. Hodgins and Jack
Currie. A very well-executed star
drill was given by the sixteen mem-
bers. of Miss Murray's class. The
girls were dressed in white and sil-
ver and carried large silver stars, An
amusing pantomine was put on by the
boys from Roy Bonner's class, This
showed a surgical operation being per-
formed on a patient in a manner
much different from today's methods.
Recitations were given by Bobby
Brooks, Bobby Lunn, Cheryl Row-
land, Jane Salter, John Strong, Esth-
er Kerr; a vocal solo by Helen Haines;
piano solo by Dorothy Chamney; a
song by Harold Wild's class and a
chorus by Mrs. Hodgins' class. The
program closed with the story of the
Nativity, told in words and song bby
the girls of Miss Johns' class, all
dressed in white robes.
Then came the event for which all
had waited. Santa arrived with- his
bag of gifts for all. The children
crowded around him and each re-
ceived a package of candies and fruit
with promises to be fulfilled on
Christmas day.
THE VOICE OF TEMPERANCE
Of Christmas office parties the
London Free Press in its editorial
column says. "All in all this is a
tradition we might do without. It
isn't even funny any more." Is this
the first gleam of a returning san-
ity? Is the liquor myth beginning to
crack? Is it getting through that
men cannot drink their way into a
good time? If it has been admitted
that Christmas office parties are not
funny any more ,how long will it be
before it is discovered that cocktail
parties are not funny any more
either? It would be strange if the
excesses that go with the use of in-
toxicating liquor did not compel men
to realize the truth.
