mm WHITBY AND DISTRICT NEWS ron THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Monday, December 21, 1953 A LITTLE GIRL ASKS SANTA AT BROOKLIN The village of Brooklin held its first Christmas Community Gath- ering last Saturday. Nothing was stinted to make this a banner oec- casion and young and old alike turned out by the hundreds to see Santa and share in the good- fes which were passed around. The scene was the village park, right on the main street, where a tree had been decorated. Santa arrived via tractor this year and spent a busy -hour listening to hundreds of requests for Christ- mas. Later toys, popcorn, or- anges, balloons and lollypops were given out to all the kiddies. In the height of festivities, Santa At the annual Christmas enter- tainment given by the Whitby branch of the Women's Institute at Fairview Lodge on Friday af- ternoon, a feature was the visit of Santa Claus who was given "Claus is shown above listening to the requests of little Barbara Kennedy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Kennedy, of Brooklin. Barbara's wants proved to be small in number -- a doll house and a tricycle. Santa assured her they would be filled. (Daddy has a store.) Photo by Scott's Studio, Whitby.

It was the largest num- ber on record, for the list of em- ployees is growing and for the most art they are family men. It took nta and his helpers the best part of two hours to hand out all the gifts. . Dr. D. R. Fletcher, superintend- ent, at the opening of proceedings, extended a warm welcome to the children and their parents and con- gratulated those who had made this annual party possible: He had a word or two to say about the Christ- mas festival and its meaning, and to all he expressed his sincere wishes for a most joyous Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year. , ' Christmas . carols were sung by all. It was like one grand chorus as all, inspired by the Christmas spirit, time honored carols like "0 Come, All Ye Faithful", and "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing". Then two popular movies were shown in the screen -- the kind that children like, followed by more Staff, Children Have Happy Christmas Party At Hospital carols and then down to the chief business of the evening, the dis- tribution of gifts. As one heard the names of the children read out the international aspect 'of the gathering became very apparent. In recent years the Hospital has given employment to men from Malta and Holland, and another country or two and it was a pleasure to see the happy and well dressed children of these new citizens walking up to pay their respects to St. Nichglas and receive their gift at his hands. Not one child was overlooked -- an efficient committee saw to that, and it was, indeed, a happy time for all.' A word about the hall decora- tions. They were superb, yes, that is the word for them. They were made under the supervision of the occupational theraphy department and for the most part by the pat- ients. The very beautiful and ap- ropriate stage decorations also re- Bected their handiwork and skill. With pride these were drawn to the attention of the Times-Gazette scribe by Superintendent Dr. Flet- cher. Before the gathering broke up the culinary department stepped in to serve sandwiches, cake, ice cream and soft drinks. MRS. M. DYER Correspondent BROOKLIN -- When Santa Claus on Saturday afternoon rode into Brooklin in a tractor-drawn trailer, an explanation was sure in order-- and Santa had the answer. His story was that when comifg through Manchester one of his rein- deer slipped and injured his leg, and, of course, the other reindeer could not alone 'haul the load of good things that he was bringing 3-3591 3-3542 3-3446 2-326" 1-3141 0-3386 3-3604 1-3412 1-3168 0-308¢ 2-3197 2-3490 2-3078 0-3165 County Bowl A BOs * Rablers Whitby Electric Gilberts Cobblers Bell Telephone Fittings Ltd.

The occasion for Santa's visit was the first annual outdoors Christmas celebration sponsored by the Brook- lin Community Club, when hund- reds of children and adults from the village and countryside gather- ed in Grass Park -- that lovely open space both winter and sum- mer in the centre of the village purchased a few years ago by the villagers. A tall tree, gaily lighted with red and green lights, and a lone yellow one on top, had been erected in the park and it was very beautiful. It will be lighted until after Christmas, by the way. The junior choir of the United | Church, under the direction of Mrs. | Ken. Holliday, led in the singing | of age-old Christmas carols. It was one of the largest community gath- erings in Brooklin for years. Santa shook hands with each child and inquired what he or she wanted for Christmas. Several com- munities were represented in the | gathering and the chiddren from | an orange and a prize on the out- side of the package. Those participating in the ar- rangements for the event included Dr. Grant, Dr. Stocks, Ray Hall, Ray Kennedy, R. Mowbray, John Mitchell, Bill Heron and Ken Greer. Officers of the Association are: L. McCoy, president; Murray Rob- inson, 1sf vice-president; Sam Stu- art, 2nd vice; Dr. Grant, secretary.
