They owned and operated Morris Phar- macy on Concession St. in Hamilton before they purchased Coopers Drug Store in Acton and the fam- ily moved here. Their four children and families came to the an- niversary celebrations including the eldest Sher- ry McNabb of Acton, Dr. Trudy McNabb of Wood- bridge, Nancy of Barrie and Gord of Edmonton. Two great grandchildren also attended, so there were four generations present.

Last Saturday night down at your Branch, Santa Claus made two appearances to the delight of all the party ani- mals celebrating Christmas in July. Summer Santa with his little elf made a grand entrance and placed the prizes under the Christmas tree, and then winter Santa rode his motorized sleigh into the games room. A special thank you goes out to Comrades George Derabbie, Tammy Whyte and J.J. Jordan for these special appearances.
