Yes, it was the most wonderful Christmas yours truly has ever experienced. Not just because old Saint Nick was more than gen- erous, but because I was lucky enough to celebrate this Christ- mas with the most wonderful group of people I have ever known . . . the Oakville Teen-Agers! As in years past, the Christmas tree was loaded with gifts of clothing and useful items too numerous to mention. All these played second fiddle, however, to a little blue box and a sparkling gold crown which sat resolute and glowing in the corner. Inside the box shone a gold identifica- tion bracelet bearing the crest of Teen Town of Oakville, symbolic of all the wonderful moments I have spent with this grand or- ganization. Yes, I have been chosen King, winner of the popu- larity poll, and the lucky fellow to share the spotlight with the lovely Queen, Beverley Hills. Amazing, perhaps, but true. It is with great pride that I join with Bey in saying "Thanks A Million" and wishing all our friends "A very Happy New Year!" CR Getting down to business, I am lost for words to describe Friday evenings Formal. 'Sensational, ex- traordinary, dtupendoud, terrifc, and many others come to mind, but none seem to truly express the great success of the affair. It could best be expressed by the words of Jom Murray Anderson of the Brant Inn who dropped by to give a listen to Johnny Bren- an and the band. "Never before have I seen so many beautiful dresses, or such a wonderful crowd," said Mr. Anderson, and 'he added. "I only wish that we could have a crowd such as this every evening at the Brant, then I wouldn't have a worry in the world. The decorations are beau- [tiful, the music is good, and you serve eats.

Passes 85th Milestone One of Oakyille's growing num- ber of octogenarians, James H. Elliott, will celebrate his 85th birthday tomorrow. And the oc- casion finds him in much better health than for: the past several months. For awhile he was under the, doctor's care, but now he's his old self once more. "I'm in fine shape now," he asserted vigor- ously in the course of a brief in Lanark county, and spent his youth "and early manhood on a farm. Going west in the eighties, he worked as a carpenter in Win- nipeg in the days of the big build- ing boom. Later he went into the milk business, and achieved the distinction of being the first dairyman in Winnipeg to sell ® bottled milk. For several years he served on the council of Assina- boine, a municipality west of Winnipeg, being the only tom- pletely white man on thaf body at the time, all his fellow-council- lors having some Indian blood. 1t was early in 1918 that Mr. Elliott came to Oakville to make his home. For a short time He was in business as a building contractor. He served short terms on the council and board of ed- ucation. A member of St. John's United Church, he staunchly de- clares "I've been a Methodist for eighty years.) There will be a small family gathering at the Biliott home on Douglas Ave. tomorrow. Among the guests will be Mrs. Elliott's sister, Mrs. Charles H. Lusk of _ AND DEALER COLBORNE ST. W.

Coming from a man who has spent most of his life in the en- tertainment world, and has en- tertained some of Americas top members of Teen TownfhING, personalities, -this is a real com- pliment. We only hope that mem- bers of Teen Town fully appre- ciate just what they have got when they journey to Victoria Hall every Friday night. As an added note of interest we might say that Mr. Anderson was so impressed by the band that he had them play an audition in the Brant Inn following the Peggy Robinson, Pete Smith and yours along and enjoyed dancing on the spacious dance floor of the Brant while the au- dition was played, and were ser- ved sandwiches and coffee in the penthouse atop the Inn with the band later.
