The
Church
was
decorated
with
evergreen
and
flowers
for
the
Christmas
Service
on
Sunday
morning,
and
extra
benches
had
to
be
brought
across
from
the
hall
as
there
was
such
a
large
congregation.
Rev.
A.
Atkinson
preached
an

sermon
and

Joined
heartily
in
the
singing
of
the
old
favorite
carols.
."The
Community
Hall
was
never
more
beautiful
than
on
Friday
night
when
it
was
decorated
with
evergreens,
balloons
and
red
and
green
streamers
for
the
childrens
Christmas
concert
and
party.
The
school
children
"the
majority
of
them
beginners)
gave
a
thirty-item
programme
to
a
crowded
audience.
There
were
three
plays,
various
recitations,
carols,
song
and
dancing.
After
the
singing
of
O'Canada
excitement
ran
high
as
Santa's
btlLs
could
be
clearly
heard
outside
and
soon
he
came
bounding
In
to
receive
a
hilarious
welcome.
He
presented
each
youngster
with
a
gift,
also
a
bag
of
canay
and
nuts:
teen-agers
also
received
a
bag.
Benches
were
pushed
back
and
the
hall
cleared.
The
children
were
called
to
the
centre
of
the;
Hall
and
placed
in
four
groups,
j
and
over
each
group
high
up!
was
r
bundle
of
colored
ballosn.
'
At
a
signal
a
string
was
pul'.ed
:
and
down
floated
the
balloons
I
which
the
children
reached
for
and
caught.
