White man behind the scenes by Jennifer Not many people are thinking about Christmas this early in the year Visions of sunshine and summer vacations rather than sugar plums are dancing in most peoples heads However White is planning ahead as he does every year so St Josephs Catholic church will be ready with its Christmas decorations Mr White has been looking after the Christ mas display for some years Mr White remembers building the first Christmas for St Josephs in 1930 when Father MeBridc was the residing priest Mr White says that he and Theo worked together to build the nativity crib that would be used for about ten years until Father J Morgan came to St Josephs When Father Morgan came to Acton the inn needed replacing in order to commodate larger figurines for the Christmas display Mr White once again con new inn which was in use over years when it was replaced by another White production in 1971 The inn Mr White made in 1971 is the present one in use but it will be replaced this year with a larger addition to house the new figurines the church has purchased The new Christmas figurines are larger and beautifully detailed giving Mr White all sorts of different ideas for creating a nativity scene this year For the past few years he has had the help of grandsons Paul and John Tyers and other volunteers Peter and Gary Milton John Tyers Sr and Charlie Bennett Many people admire the beauty and artistic display in the Christmas scene however few realize the work and dedication of the man who makes it possible 100 grant to Brigden memorial If Halton Hills council accepts
