WROXE-ITR-,, The ,Friend- ship Unit of the Wroiteter U.C. W. held its Christmas meeting in the church basement, with an attendance of fifteen. Pas- sages from the ,Bible, read by Miss Elsie Gibson and Mrs. Harold Ridley traced the story of the life of Jesus. It was an all members Meeting and each one respond- ed to the roll call with a Christ- mas poem or message. Mrs. Stan Lockwood conducted a Christmas contest. The president, Mrs. Archie Miller, took charge of the business and closed the meeting with prayer. A delicious Christmas sup- per was served by the hostesses, Miss Gibson, Mrs. Ridley and Mrs. Miller. At its close Mrs. Howard Wylie, on behalf of the members, expressed regret that Mrs. Harvey Timm will be leaving and presented her with a gift. For the first time in its 35- year history, the world-famous Radio City Music Hall in New York opened its doors and bared its majestic stage to the cam- eras of the television world for their Christmas Show. An annual highlight, parts of last year's Christmas show were seen last Sunday night in the usual 'Bonanza' time slot. It was truly a fabulous show, and must have been magnificent in color. Synonymous with Radio City Music Hall are the Rock- ettes, a group of charming girls who are trained in the finest precision dancing; their kick line is famous throughout the world. The show. alp presented the, RCMH Ballet Company and Symphony Orchestra, the Doodletown Pipers who are be- coming so popular these days and are such talented kids, the Cadet Glee Club of the United States Military Academy, and a number of specialty acts. In addition to the Rockettes, one would have to say that the high lights of the show were the pro- duction number featuring these specialty acts in their 'jack-in- the-box' three-ring circus per- formance; and the marionette number danced by the Ballet Company, to the music of 'Tis Show Biz By Vonni Lee Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite". The most moving portion of the show was the annual yule pageant "The Nativity", which has been produced in the thea- tre since 1933. The story of The First Christmas, it came to life before your eyes. It featured a cast of more than 100, accompanied by the Sym- phony Orchestra and the Grand Organ. More than 20,000,000 people have see the production in Radio City Music Hall; no doubt millions more have now been added to the list, thanks to the magic of television. It was indeed a privilege! The same evening, on "O'Keefe Presents". Al Hirt die played his talent on the trum- pet. Once only a small part of the bands of Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Ray McKinley and Horace Heidt, he is now very much a star on his own. His guests were English gal Shirley Bassey, who is always in fine voice, and Canada's Rich Little, whom I have seen perform better. Good news for you Carol Burnett fans -- her U.S. series will be coming our way in the New Year, beginning as a matter of fact, on January 1st at 9;30 p.m. Her series will attempt to prove Carol's versa- tility, which is great. Starring with her will be Harvey Kor- man, who was so funny as Danny Kaye's right hand man on that show. Lyle Waggoner will be the master of ceremon- ies. Each week her show will feature guests - people like Lucille Ball (and they should be something to see together), Phyllis Diller (another winning team), Robert Goulet (Yick!), Peter Falk, Lynn Redgrave (Georgy Girl), and Richard (Dr. Kildare) Chamberlain. The show is produced by Carol's husband, Joe Hamilton. We don't have the name of her writers, but let's hope they are good. She has done some mighty trashy stuff on TV shows and used many scripts that are an insult to her ability. We'll be looking forward to seeing her series; how be you watch it too?

Special thanks to the Cub Mothers for the delicious lunch they provided. Presents were exchanged and the boys had a good time opening their gifts. One of the Cub promises is "Help one another". The Cubs carried out their motto by each taking some canned goods for the Salvation Army to be given at Christmas to families who are not as fortunate. Most of the Cubs are really working hard to further their knowledge and earn badges. The following badges were awarded; Team player, Woods- man badge and Black Star to Keith Robinson; house orderly to Keith Nethery and Tim Gray; collector to Richard Har- court; Green Star to Bobby and Ricky Williams; Tawny Star and carpenter badge to Peter Hilbert, Earl Thompson, Law- rence Norman and Michael Vinneau and athlete's badge to John Kennedy.
