The card party will be held at
the Community House on Saturday
night Of this week. Twenty tables
have been already engaged and 1t
has been decided to confine the
number to twenty, due to the fact
that there is not enough room to
accommodate more.
On Christmas eve the annual
Christmas tree celebration will be
held. AS usual, residents Of the
community will gather around the
tree for the singing of carols. They
will also move about the streets
and will entertain the shutins
throughout the district. After the
singing of the carols the group will
repair to the Community House,
WHERE refreshments will be served.
The coasting party scheduled for
January will be something new on
the program. A coasting space will
be made in back of the Community
house, where advantage will be
taken of the steep grade. This slide
will extend into the lots west of the
house. The purpose of this slide
will be to keep the youngsters out
Of the streets, but on one evening In
January the older people will use
it and it is expected that a great
deal of Interest will be manifested
in the event.
Another event Of interest will be
the skating carnival in February.
This affair will take place on the
community skating rink.
Community Day in May will
serve to unite the districts Of Ber-
lin, East Berlin and Kensngton,
the other two districts having been
invited to participate in the field
day exercises. Athletic events,
among them the deciding horse
shoe pitching match for the cham
pionship of the town, will be
prominent on the days program. 1t
is expected that this affair will
serve to bring residents of the
town closer together.
In July the entire community
will 60 on a picnic TO some place
out of town, the location as yet un-
decided. An afternoon will he
nickcd when the greater share OF
the residents will be free TO attend
the outing.
