2 x n 5 en v LT MRS. ARCH AUSTIN, Beaumont @ Oak Hill ' ~ Season’s Greetings, friends! It is with some alarm that we note the - nearness of Christmas. This year, .as in the immediate past years, we have promised ourselves, “this year no last-minute shopping—every- one’s gifts bought in October, ‘(Christmas cards ordered and ad- dressed early, house cleaned, gifts wrapped and cookies made, all by ‘at least a week before Christmas.” . And here we are, still in the same old rut with practically everything to do. But, as usual, we'll have fun . doing it, along with a family trip to see the Christmas lighting and various other seasonal projects. It is gratifying to see the decora- tions that have already been put up and to note others in the pro- cess. It won't be long before Oak Hill is lighted like a Christmas tree, ~ with the developments we have seen taking place to date. - We were privileged last week to hear the Choral Group of Harveys Lake Women’s Service Club present its first public concert, and were more than pleased to note the won- derful progress which these women have made since they first organ- “ized a few short months ago. They gave a Christmas Cantata which was very splightly and lilting, and also ‘other Christmas selections in which the audience joined. Marie Ritts has done an admirable job and the women, with their cooperation, have formed a singing group which will be a pleasure to listen to at any gathering. To return to the topic of Christ- mas, our trip to see Santa Claus was very successful. Our little one, with no sign of fear, scampered into Santa’s lap, held up two fingers to denote his age, and went throuch of ordering his bowling set. Since he’s been a pretty good boy, we're sure Santa Here’s hoping we see a lot more Christmas decorations in Oak Hill within the near future.
