Many of the local group's contacts- have been made by way of the mother calling the local volunteer leader. Information is sent to anyone even if they do not at- tend monthly meetings. At this Christmastime La Leche League would like to receive a special. present from all of the mothers who have received support from the local group. It would be a special way of saying thank you by giving a photo of all. their children to add to La Leche League's scrap book.

Huron County, 46 Gloucester Terrace, Goderich, Ontario. Reg. No. 018.4192-01.05 1 fast year. 1 ve even surprised myself . 1 bought a new winter coat before the nasty weather began. but I'm still putting off replacjng those boots that didn't seem warm enough last year. A quick check of Christmas. cards and wrapping paper left from last year show I'll probably have enough, to do this yeal. If someone receives a present with no wrapping paper covering the bottom of the box. they'll just. have to realize it's what's inside that's important. Over the past few weeks. I developed a list of gift ideas by simply listening to the hints that_ people dropped: Some people give hints ac- cidentally; others drop them intentionally. I began picking up a gift now and again way back in November. (For me, that's extremely early), they have been ordered c.o.d., which_ means .the crunch is yet to come. ' Oh well. complain though I do; I can tolerate winter. ( I don't have much choice). And, I always look forward to Christmas - a very, special time of year. -Being prepared ahead of time makes the season even more enjoyable. But I haven't changed that much in a year.` I know I'll. leave plenty t� do at the last minute. 1- wouldn't want to miss the excitement of that madcap • last _minute Christmas rush. • NEW PLEDGES - Alph Pi chapter of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority held a pledge ritua for three new members at the home of v/p Shoron Lynn.
