Nearer a Timmins Kiwanis Club Enjoys Another Happy Annual Christmas Party Monday‘s luncheon of the ‘Tiunmins Kiwanis Club at the Empire Hotel was the annual Christmas party of the club, and as usual it was a humorous and a happy occasion. This form of a Christmas party has been an annual eventâ€"and event is rightâ€"at the Timâ€" mins Kiwanis. Unter the rules of this party every member present at the party is to receive a present, accomâ€" panied by appropriate message. Usually the message takes the form of verse, or worse, blank verse, or blankityâ€" blank verse. Always there is the humâ€" orous touch. No member knows the donor of the gift, and this fact gives the humorist full scope to draw on his knowledge or his imagination in the message. The presents usually are of the toy type, but invariably selected for their suitability for the donee and for the cccasion. The recipient of each gift has to read the message to the gathering, and usually this is embarâ€" rasing, but as all the victims as well as the perpetrators, and as all the humor is of the kindly type, friendly, though free, everybody has a happy time. Imâ€" agine combining the spirit of April First, Hallowe‘en and all in one event, and you have an idea of what a Kiwanis Christmas party is like.
