XMAS PARTY Excitement shone in the eyes of the children at the Christmas party sponsored by the Catholic Daughters of America Sunday afternon at K.

The children's party is an annual affair, sponsored by members of Court Joyce Kilmer at the Christmas tide, when members bring their own children or little invited guests to enjoy the good time arranged for them. The enthusiastic youngsters put on an impromptu program, each contributing a song, recitation, dance or any specialty they could do best and seemed to enjoy it as much or more than their elders. The Sisters of St. Marys were also guests at the party and the children of the three lower grades at St. Mary's school sang Christmas songs and cards. • • • MOTHERS CLUB PARTY Perhaps the most 'enjoyable meeting of the Mothers C|ub for the entire year took place Friday afternoon at Legion hall when members and guests participated in the annual Christmas party.

"»• tun je»r ai{ uie 1U covered with ice and anew and cok£ weather has prevailed for •some time, although winter did not officially arrive untl Dec. 22 at 12:22. The first day of winter is also the shortest day of the year and this year the daylight period on Tuesday and Wednesday was almost identical in length. People will welcome the. fact that from now on the days will gradually become longer. The period is denoted by the movement of the earth to the maximum in its orbit around the sun, at which time the sunlight is ""coming from a point farthest away from the north pole. The present siege of ioe is regarded unusual for this time of year and together with its present covering of snow continues to make walking and motoring hazardous.
