Residents of Raspberry Lodge

Fourteen members of the
Ladics Auxiliary to the Royal
Canadian}‘Legion Branch 170
visited at’ Raspberry, Lodge on
Wednesday of Inst week to
entertain the residents there,

The Ladies Auxiliary sang
several Christmas carols with
some of lodge residents joining
in, Terry really enjoyed ringing
the sleigh bells’ ‘during the
singing of Jingle Bells, This
was greatly enjoyed by all,

The highlight of the even-
ing was the singing of “Happy
Birthday” to Joe Desrochers
who was 90-years-old Monday.
Mrs. J...Walker, a. long time
friend ‘of Joe and his family,
presented him with a personal

gift’ from herself ond her
husband, along with a. beauti-
fully decorated birthday cake,
The honoree was very thrilled
and had his picture taken with
Mrs, Walker as he held his cake
and gift. Mr. Desrochers, who
is blind, felt his gift and cake
sala they were lovely, He said
he was so pleased to have so
many girl friends visit him.

The auxillary members
served refreshments to all
present. A large box of
Christmas Chocolates was
passed around several times,

The evening was a very
delightful event and enjoyed
both by those at Raspberry
Lodge and: the L.A.

Heavy Holiday Calling
Expected by B.C. Tel

The B.C. Telephone Co.
expects more than 545,000
attempts by subscribers to
place long distance and over-
seas calls during the Christmas
Day holiday period.

Vice-president of opera-
tions for B.C, Tel, T. F. Heenan,
urges those planning Christmas
calls to space them over a day
or’ two prior to Dec. 25 or
within a day or two after the
holiday rush. ‘

Mr. Heenan said Canadian
telephone companies no longer
take reservations for overseas
long distance calls to be made
at a specific time. “Additional
circuits put into service over
the past few years, should help
to ease the load, however, there
may still be some delays

Local Men
Total Cars
In Accident.

Two vehicles were totalled
following an accident last
Saturday one mile north of
China-Creek Shell on Highway

jo. 3,
. Driver.of the vehicles were
identified as Walter Leiten-
berger, 23, and Johnbridge, 43,
both of Castlegar.

The Leitenberger vehicle
was north bound and the
Mansbridge vehicle — south
bound when the Leitenberger
vehcile skidded on a curve
hitting head on with the
Mansbridge vehicle.

No injuries were reported.

Total damages have been
estimated at $1,200.

Road conditions
described as very poor.

No charges were laid.

were

getting through” he said.

A total of about 393,000
calls were handled by the
company on Christmas Day last
year—while another 81,000
calls were attempted but not
completed. “But many of those
were repeat trys on calls
attempted earlier," he added.

B.C. Tel’s interior division
manager, Gordon Stenner, said
that in Nelson, an estimated
28,000 direct dialed calls and
3,900 operator-handled calls
will be attempted during the
24-hour period of Christmas
Day this year. Mr. Stenner said
that this will be a i

Tomorrow is Christmas

A Child's View

Tomorrow it is Christmas Day,

A time when children play all day
With brand new games and toys and such;
The day that we all love so much.

I wish I could stay up all night

And watch for Santa...What a sight
‘Twould be to see him and his sleigh
Sliding down from the Milky Way
Right on to our roof, and watch him
Squeeze into our chimney, as slim
As a boy! How does he manage?

By a wriggle and a scrimmage,

Or becoming invisible?
It all seems so impossible!

To sce it happen would be nice!

To watch him slide down slick as ice

Right onto our living room rug,

Without a speck of soot to shrug

From of his red and white fur,
And without a sound or a stir

To trim our tree, the stockings fill...

It would be such a lovely thrill!

But I must stay in bed until

Mr. Sun peeks up above the hill,
Then Mom says I can run to.see
What Santa Claus has left for me.

—Lucy Ellen Eaton

Former Resident Receives Top
Marks in Accountants’ Exam

A Grand Forks man,
formerly a student of both
Stanley Humphries Secondary
School and Selkirk College, has
been named: top student in
British Columbia among those
who wrote final uniform exam-
inations ducted by the

increase over 1972 attempted
Christmas calls,

“We are suggesting this
year that. persons planning
holiday calls act now to obtain
telephone numbers and area
code numbers, thus cutting
down on possible delays during
the Yuletide rush hours,” said
Mr.. Heenan.

He also pointed out that
many long distance calls cost
less if they are dialed directly—
and many cost even less if they
are placed after 6 p.m. on
weekdays or any time on a
Sunday.

Mr. Heenan noted that
because Christmas Day falls on
a’ Tuesday this year, the
preceding weekend—Dec. 22
and 23—might be a good time
for subscribers to place some
planned holiday calls.

“This would ease. the
pressure on the Vancouver toll

centre,” he explained, “which, .

in addition to handling calls
throughout the province, also
takes care of calls to Pacific rim
countries such as Japan, Aus-
tralia and New Zealand—and
calls to and from other parts of
Canada.”

Christmas tree has an interest-
ing origin according to the
latest research as put forward
by local resident Jim Chapman
of Kinnaird. :

It seems that Santa Claus
had the flu, his wife had been
nagging him, Donner and
Blitzen had had an argument
and were not pulling together
and the elves were threatening
to strike and refused to fix a
loose runner on the sleigh.

And then, right after he
learned that Mrs. Claus’ mother
was coming to visit them, there
came a knock at the door.

When the old gent opened
it, he saw a little angel standing
outside.

“Hi Santa,” piped the
visitor cheerfully, “I've brought
your Christmas tree, C.0.D.—
where should I put it?”

Members of New Denver Women's Institute
Enjoy Annual Christmas Dinner and Party

“New Denver Women's
Institute held their annual
meeting and dinner party on
Wednesday of last week in the
Legion. The hall was beauti-
fully decorated with a shining
Christmas tree in silver and
rose,

The thought for the day
was “Grudges”, with everyone
enjoying the home cooked meal
provided by members.

“Vice-president Mrs. -‘T.
Steenhoff chaired the meeting
in the absence of Mrs. Austin
who now makes her home at
Langford, B.C.

Reports under agriculture,
citizenship, cultural, home ec-
onomics, -social welfare .and
United Nations were given by

each convener, showing the
effort put forward in making
New Denver a better place in
which to live.

The WI supported finan-
cially grades & and 6 ‘travel
fund; the arena fund; New
Denver-Silverton bursary; Luc-
erne annual and the Legion
poppy fund.

Members worked in the
Victoria Day celebration booths
with the cemetery and Bigelow
Bay receiving quite a lot of
work. The local library is
staffed and run by
members, New Books . have
been added to the shelves. The
Conquer Cancer Campaign and

the. CNIB drive for funds are...

also WI sponsored.

For a money-raising pro-
ject, an annual tea and sale was
held this year and” members
entertained at an open tea for a
member's golden wedding an-
niversary. Flowers were sent

to the Pavilion for elderly ~

citizens.

The group studied food,
had speakers, saw slides on
local wild flowers and had
singing.and games.

Following the annual meet-
ing reports, WI members sang
carols and had some lively
contests with prizes going to
several ladies,

A march past the Christ-
mas tree for an exchange of
gifts followed by coffee brought
the very.pleasant evening to a
close.
