GRAHAM, FLORIST ENNYSKILLEN PHONE 419 Merry Christmas one and ail! Everything looks bright and new and everyone looks happy and gay. It's Christmas! We believe the origin of this greeting stem- med from the land so long known as Merry England, wh ose people naturally celebrated a Merry Christias. The Scots and French tend to reserve their excitement for New Years. Probably we owe much of the tradition to such writ- ers as Herrick, Dickens and Shakespeare and to aIl those sing- ers and players who have per- formed their works through the centuries.

Seymour, as chairman, ex- pressed the views of everyone present when -he cor-hplimented the teacher, Mrs. W. Ashton, on the excellent training the children gave evidence of and the fact that the program was neither too long non too short, something difficult ta contrai in this type of enter- tainment. With no eighth graders and an unusually large percent- age of beginners it was no easy task to arrange such a fine con- cert.
