A Mexican ver- andah for the band, a large Mexican Christmas tree gaily decorated and a cart pulled by a donkey were all part of the decorations. The cart was filled with about one hundred and seventy-five gifts of all shapes and sizes. These presents were taken to Simcoe Hall for dis- tribution among the needy chil- dren in the Oshawa area.

A Gift of Joy by Helen Hayes: Few performers have been held in greater esteem and affection than the highly respected actress Helen Hayes. n the 1930's when radio was in its prime I recall our antici- pation whenever Helen Hayes was to appear in one of her many dramatic performances. Since that time millions have seen and heard her in summer theatres, on Broadway, in mov- ing pictures, and more recent- ly on television. Now she has disclosed another facet of her active life by writing this slight- ly biographical book which gives the reader examples of the many pleasures life has be- stowed upon her. She reminisces about her hus- band Charles MacArthur who died in 1956 and her beloved daughter Mary who died of polio. She freely discusses her | likes and dislikes and her opin- | ions on all sorts of subjects -- | faith, fame, Shakespeare, old | age, parents and gardening. | Anyone who enjoys walking for | relaxation will appreciate the) delightful chapter on this sub- | ject and will agree, I'm sure, | with her witty comments. Her Shangri-la or Casa Serena (Ser- | ene House) is located at Cuer- navaca, an hour's drive from | Mexico City. Here she finds the | gift of joy provided by solitude | which she believes is essential | for everyone. Selected passages from her favorite books, plays, | and poetry as well as sixteen | pages of photographs are in- | cluded in this unique book. | Other books written by well- | known personalities in show | business have been recently | added to our collection.
