And all through the house livery creature was stirring Yes even the mouse No stockings were hung In the chimney with care For we knew old St Nicholas Wouldnt be there The children werent nestled All snug in their beds They were all out of doors With their skates and their Jl-ii- sleds I Mama with her knitting And with my book Had just settled down In the warm Inglenook When out on the lawn There arose such a flutter sprang from my chair And threw open the the great moon was shining As brightly as day And there stood an angel In shining array V Right through the great window So softly it came Then hovered and watched us With eyes like aflame Saying What have you done With the presents gave The silver wrapped courage love all men crave for these are the traits That count up above Faith courage and love Then he swept through the win dow Out into the night And we heard his sweet yoke As he floated from sight Peace on earth is the message I leave you again Give glory to God And good will to SCOUTGUIDE MOTHERS The ScoutGuide Mothers aux iliary Newmarket will hold Its annual meeting election and In stallation of officers In the Scout Hall on Monday Jan 8 pm All mothers of scouts

stocky buxom but coy Widow v Lovely costumes col orful settings music song and dance routines combined with new lighting effects to make it an evening of ton tot actors and audience Casting was ably handled with possibly one exception One character- Odorous Egg the bailiffs sister was supposed to- be a scrawny unattractive fe male who was having difficulty in interesting man in matrimony Cast in that role wa3 fern Even when acting as a shrew she looked charming More than one male in the was heard to comment Cafet see why any of them would need to be coaxed to- her or Where are your eyes boy But how can we talk about Jack the Beanstalk wilh- mentioning For those who unfortunately missed the pantomime presentation wo add that Clarabelle was the cow Remember the one he sold for a bag of beans Nov may not have won any awards at the Royal Winter Fair but for our money she was ex cellent Two lightfooted young danc ers and Wan da Hill as delighted the audience vith a comic tap routine Even in making her exit drew applause She must have taken a few lessons while attending Hetty Gordons dancing classes There could be no other explan ation for those rhythmic shakes as she retreated behind the cur tain Another animal in the cost which deserves mention was the Hen that laid the golden egg It cackled with infinite satisfac tion and rightly so for not since Easier time have seen such an egg It must have been a connoisseur of chicks who creat ed such a fine bird And the beanstalk have mentioned it y With the of a telephone pole bora the weight of various mem bers of the cast

cast her spell of hap piness over everyone And so the curtain came down on the first pantomime presenta tion by our local drama club There were a few rough spots the pace of the first act was a rifle slow and We felt a certain of her lines in those opening scenes by the Widow But they were small faults Credit lines are due the stage manager- Ken- Learning who was assisted by Bob Chad wick Jack Fisher and- other members of the club for the excellent backdrops and stage settings The new lighting effects added to the production as did the cos tumes makeup and properties The thunder and
