of Varna United Church last
Sunday, They are Mrs. Dave

The White Gift service last

tendents, Sharon Chuter and Bob
Webster. Scripture passages
were read by Lori Consitt, Julie
Webster and Sherri Chuter,
Brenda Dowson read the story of
the beginning of homes for
abandoned children in England in
the 1800's, and Dale Stephenson
read about the Luyendyk family
of Cremona, Alberta, who for a
number of years have provided a
good home for many orphaned
children.
Christmas Concert
The annual Christmas Concert
was held on Friday eyening with
the children performing before a
full house in the Township Hall.
Jeanette Keys gave the opening
recitation. The programme was
interspersed with recitations by
Stephen Taylor - "What Grandpa
Said", Julie Webster - "Plump
Santa Claus", Laura Roy -
"Helping Santa", and George
Whittaker - "A Christmas
Telephone". The Nursery Class
did two numbers, "Christmas
Toys" and a cute skit, "Mexican
Jumping Beans". The Primary
and Junior classes did "Santa's
New Look" and "I'm a Little
Pine Tree". Rev. Alex Taylor,
master of ceremonies, en-
tertained with stories during set
changes. Wat Webster was
surprised to find that "Freddie
the Flea" was hiding on his head,
except when "Sandy" looked
more closely, it wasn't Freddie
he found there.
Mrs. Bonnie Roy was the
narrator for the nativity scene "A
Child is Born". Jim Hill, Scott
Kirton and Tom Whittaker gave
the closing recitation, and with
everyone on stage singing "Here
Comes Santa Claus", the jolly old
fellow arrived to pass out the
gifts. The Sunday School teachers
arranged the programme, with
Dianne Kirton as co-ordinator.
Mildred McAsh was the pianist.

Mrs. Claws?
BY BETH SWEENEY
St. Boniface
Dear Santa,
How is Mrs, Claws? I've been a
good girl. My Dad said that he
saw you when he was a boy. I
want a record and a record
player and my birthstone if it not
too much. My sister gave me four
gifts. My grandmother is coming
up from Windsor. Thankyou for
the records last year.
Love
Beth Sweeney.
