The arrival of that old fellow
with the fat tummy and a red
nose Jike a cherry was the high
light of the Rhea Creek Grange
Christmas party Friday evening.
He cou id nt find the chimney so
he used the door much to the
delight of everyone. He gave all
those present oranges and pop
corn balls. 1
The evening started with a
pot luck supper followed by the
program. I he program
by Airs. KImcr Palmer featured
talent by both adult members
and children. A trio with Craig
Cutting at the piano, flrace and
Owen Drake on alto and so
prano melodicas played Little
Town of Bethlehem. The audi-
nee joined in singing with
hem. Johnnv Stevens master
fully and nonchalantly sang
Jolly Old St. .Nicholas", ac
companied by his sister JoJean.
Later JoJean played as a piano
solo. "Wo Three Kings" and a-
gain later .she ushered in Santa

piano arranged his music and
then "played" his piano accom
paniment while he sang "Santa
