The fantasy story nentred around the fate of Christmas cards which had been used. The old cards came to life one night after discovering they would be burned - Just watching the play was enough to get one in the Christ- mas spirit, as carols were sung, children danced and gifts were wrapped. Applause was sea ttered throughout the performance as the 23 area children reminded the hristmos' play use, full house audience of the Spirit of Christmas. There were a lot. of children at the WAY Ped0Vinanee and they seemed to enjoy seeing their friends dressed up as Christmas cards, Christmas sprites and as children wlio become excited about Christmas. The Christmas cards, delivered one year ago from across Canada, were to be destroyed because they were old_ While the children slept, the cards discussed their fate and called on an elf -like creature, the Christmas Spirit, to help them.

The dream taught them not to be selfish and after waking the children decided to donate a scrapbook filled with their old cards to children in hospital. After that decision and some carolling beside an open fire, the children get in the spirit of Christmas and decide it is going to be a good Christmas after all. The Christmas cards also taught the audience to think of others at this time of year when they meet up with a lost Cluistinas card which has no message and no address oh it. To give it a home, they address it to a lady who doesn't get many cards. Sandra Lee, who directed the play, said the children put in a lot of work to present the play for just one night. The youngsters had been meeting since Sep- temberpractising to put on the play. Along with the children, members of the Wingham Towne Players helped present the play, using their expertise in lighting and other areas. When the presentation was over and the audience had gone home the child actors and ac- tresses and their parents and the others who helped with the presentation talked about it all over donuts and chocolate milk. Though the play was popular with the capacity crowd, Wingham people probably won't get a chance to see another children's play until next fall, Miss Lee said, because Towne Players will be too busy with their centennial production to help with a children's play. Branch enjoys annual banquet The Wingham branch of the Women's Institute enjoyed the Christmas banquet at St. Paul's Anglican Church on Thursday of last week. After the dinner, president Mrs. Powell welcomed all the members and the roll call was answered by each member sharing a Christmas experience. A short business period followed.
