This year the Maintenance Department sponsored a
Christmas Tree Contest for children up to age 12. The
children were to count or guess how many lights were on
the tree on the corner of Connell Drive and Creery Street.

Approximately 46 children of all ages entered this contest,
and Mrs. Laura Akey and Mr. Archie Campbell were judges.

The entries were collected at the Christmas party which
was held for the children on the afternoon of December 20th.
After all the entries were sorted the judges found three
children who had the correct answer, 350 bulbs. To choose
the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize winners of these three, these
entries were placed in a hat and little Donna Giachino drew
the entries out one at a time.

The first name of the three winners drawn was:

Paul Caron — first prize — $5.00 Age 12
The second name of the three winners drawn was:

Kathy Johnston — second prize — $3.00 Age 6
The third name of the three winners drawn was:

Hans Tischler — third prize — $2.00 Age 10

The convenors, Mr. G. Edwards and Mrs. R. Ebbinghoff,
would like to congratulate the winners and thank all the
other children for participating. Thank you also to the
judges and Donna for their help.

This Festive Season, the tiny tots had a chance to be in
the limelight at a Christmas Concert, held at the Cassiar
School on December 18th, under the direction of their
teacher, Mrs. Margurite Kovacs.

The parents and friends of the children were invited to
be entertained by them, and we are sure they enjoyed the
entertainment as much as the children enjoyed entertaining
them.

The concert consisted of dancing, singing and the playing
of musical instruments. The picture is one of the ‘‘Band in
Action” led by Paul Veltmeyer, one of the more gifted children
in music. Keep it up Paul, perhaps in 20 years we will be
watching you on T.V. leading an orchestra all of your own,
and perhaps some of your classmates will be led by you again!

The children all did a wonderful job and everyone enjoyed
themselves tremendously. Thank you Mrs. Kovacs and
Children — Hope there’s another one next Christmas.

We certainly can’t forget to mention that Santa Claus made
it safely and on time for the gift giving after the children’s
movie on December 20th. The children were very happy to
see him and enjoyed their candy and gifts.

When will the Cocktail Lounge be ready??? | think we
said last time, but word now is that it should be ready by the
time we go to press, (Don’t think they made it!) or very soon
afterward. It will be called the Trophy Room, and everyone _
is reminded that casual dress is a must. NO work clothes witi 4“
be permitted. Your co-operation is requested, infractions of
the rules will cause the cocktail lounge to be closed down!!!
We have waited so long for this event that people causing
disturbances and breaking the rules will most likely’be rail- _
roaded, or at least very severely reprimanded by their friends.

If anyone has any trophies that they wouldn't mind
putting on display in the Trophy Room, please contact Bill
Corrigan by phone or in person.
