ters and their families come
for a Christmas party, which
was held this year on Sunday.
Thirty-nine members were
present, which included chill

change of gifts makes a merry
time and the television brought
fun, too, when the male sec

loud applause or groans, as
the case might be. Absent were
the families of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jay Manlove and Mr.. and Mrs.
Ben Manlove. Mr.. and Mrs.
Manlove are leaving on Tues

have a nice Christ

the same answer came back in
the affirmative. 1t was a good
Christmas, not a white one,
as many desired, but there was
a friendly air and many visit
ors came to help make the holi-
days more pleasant. Coming so
close to the weekend, the hol-
iday afforded extra time for
those who were far away or
employed at distance, and the
gathering of families was more
general than usual. There are
always exceptions to that but
the dependable tele p h on e
brought the voices of loved
ones nearer and. the holiday
was a pleasant one. So many
have spoken of the Lions Club
dance on Monday and how en-
joyable it was. The limited
tickets avoided over-crowding
and the dancing went on from
eight-thirty until one-thirty,
with most of the couples stay
ing the entire time, enjoying
the fun of the evening as they
partook of the good food that
was provided for the whole of
the time. Holiday decorations
gave the festive air for such
nice affair.
