John Filip Receives Citation A community Christmas tree and entertainment waa held at Kinton Grnnge Hall, Monday eve ning at 8:00 o’clock. Candy, nuts and popcorn balls were distributed to all the young sters present. Various organizations of the community were asked to contri bute a few numbers each, which piovided varied types of entertain ment. The prophecy and its fulfillment was read from the Bible by Gold en Kobul and Roberta Pomeroy, followed by "O Little Town of Bethlehem,’’ sung by Mrs. Robert Pomeroy and Mrs. Wilbur Elliott. Several numbers were offered by the primary room, including a pantomine enacting the story of the Nativity. A Christmas story. "The Other Wise Man" was told by Mrs. Floy Collins and a reading, "How Come Christmas” , by Louise Jones, read in Negro dialect, proved to be quite humorous. Two accordian numbers, "Silent Night" and “Joy To The World" were played by Willis Elliott. A play by the upper grades, “ Wild Cat Willie", was very well presented and received a round of applause. Those organizations taking part In the entertainment were: the Kinton School and P.T.A., the Lad les Aid and Evangelical Church. Also the Kinton Grange No. 562. A large turnout rewarded those who worked on the programme: Mrs. Ray Kulken and Mrs. H. Dooher .teachers, of Kinton school were highly complimented on their well trained pupils.
