Kendal1 News Our minister said wben be was a boy tbere was no sucb r thing as visitîng Santa Claus and telling bim wbat you wanted for Cbristmas. So no matter what you got for Cbristmas it was a surprise. At our Women's Institute meeting we played a game entitled, "Wbat I want 'for Cbristmas!" OrIy we bad to act it out and were not to speak. Tbe other members were to guess wbat it was. One lady wanted snow, and lots of it because ber guests were coming witb skis and sleigbs and skidoos. Wben we wxent to bed Christmas Eve tbe fields were bare. On Christmas morning tbere was a foot of snow on top tbe car and everywhere. What a surprise! We didn't bave to "dream of a wbite Cbrist- mas", we bad one. Tbe temperature is still above normal. On Christmas Day it was zero celcius at Alert Bay in tbe Eastern Artic. The Kendal neigbbourbood was shocked to hear of the sudden deatb of Mr. John Tbompson of tbis village. He bad gone up to the county barns nortb of Orono wbere be was foreman to tbe Department of Higbways on Saturday morning to wasb bis car and take the rest of tbe day off wben tbe end came. He was fifty-seven years of age. His father was Mr. Harvey Thompson of Newton- ville and bis mother Elsie Mercer of Kendal, a sister of Roy and Harry. Sympatby is extended to bis wife and family. On Sunday morning Miss Pamela Frank sang a beauti- ful Christmias solo accomnpan- ied b)y Mrs. A%. Foster and at the close of the service MNrs. A.1Tizzard sagas a solo, the pocms composed by her husband on their personal greeting card to each of us. She was accompanied by Mrs. K. Wood on the piano. This was a fine Christmas service with a beautiful closing number. Kendal United Churcb Women visited Nel'Gor Rest Home in Newcastle on Tues- day afternoon, Dec. l9th. They sang carols with the assembled senior citizens which they enjoyed. Then tbey served tbemn Dixie cups of ice cream and cookies. Even those unable to leave their rooms enjoyed the treats. One mani this writer talked to told me he had been a coal miner on Cape Breton Island near Sidney, Nova Scotia. He had worked down in the mine. 1 told him that coal was now one hundred dollarsa ton. He could bardly believe it. Then you must buy three tons or they will not deliver it. I told him that my neighbour had paid $300.OO-for tbree tons yesterday. He said he missed the ocean. He used to go fisbing in the ocean when be had a few days off.. A fine erect lady told me when I asked ber if she had a family, tbat she had neyer married and bad nursed others all ber life. She said she had worked bard and was now seventy- seven. Eacb inmate's life story would make quite a book. We ail agreed tbat we should visit the Rest Homes more of ten. Our sympathy is extended to Mr. Norman Alger of this village wbo bas lost bis aunt of Stratford wbo was in ber bundredtb year.
