MRS. ARCH AUSTIN,

@
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.
