A beautiful custom we might say. One never knows from year to year where this congregation has its begining. like a rolled snowball it usually starts off with two couples arid gains in size and momentum as the evening goes on. Last Thursday it had its beginning at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George IBeumbeck, from there to the Pvritz's, then to Jensen's, Thomsen's Ronjstands, the Harold Vycitals, Ames, Wetle's. On and on they traveled, spreading the j Christmas spirit and absorbing a j lot of the same stuff in the plural at i every stop. By the time the forty! manpower avalanche . of yodlers i reached the home of the Rourke's I on' the east end their tonsils were | in a bad shape. Frank Rourke, being j a true desciple of^ Margaret Truman,! suffered a strain on his sensative j ears after the first few notes and | invited the gang to the Howard i cowbarn, where they all enjoyed a j thorough lubrication job on their | vocal cords. • "Twenty Grand's" forty-eight | wives furnished the lubricant. After j this unusual treat the boys gave; out with "Jingle Bells," which caused | their audience of bovine quadrupeds j to go into a shimmy, with the result that the next day Manager Leo | Smith had twenty cans of butter- j milk on his hands. Thus the bearers of goodwill and peace at McCuullom ! Lake wound up their day's activities. That new arrival at the- home of Mr. and Mra/Brerttt fttfttaol just before Christmas will be rem* by them as their most joydtw Equally happy were Mr. and Mrs. their Billy Beid, who too have blessed with an addition to twosome. Flaying the rote of _ parents is a new and thrilling exrience for "Senator" and Mrs. ave Reid. Weeks of practice before this happy event took place should make them model sitters in the future, a task they both eagerly look forward to. • yJ The best of has to offer durin is our wish to 1948. everything this world ring our snort journey » all our readers for AJOTOS.
