The heart Of the three Los

Surrounding the tubes are
giant electrical devices capable
Of delivering short but ire

the tube. The bursts measure
up to a million amperes at

enthusiastically. First prize was
won by Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Hal
lock; second, by Mr.. and Mrs.
Earl Nicholson and third, by Mr..

of Mr.. and Mrs. James Spring
also had an unusual decoration of
a manger scene, the figures being
life-sized and handmade although
it did not win a prize.
One unfortunate incident took
place some time late on Christ
mas Eve after the carolers had
left, when nearly all the lights on
the tree erected on the church
lawn were either stolen or broken
by some wandering vandals. They
also stole lights on another tree
nearby. This sort of vandalism IS
new in this community.
Several family gatherings were
held on or near Christmas Day,
one being held at the home of
