John Runstadler PHONE 55 FLESHERTON, ONT. I Santa Claus Will Have Big Day December 17tli Santa is again coming to Flesher- ton and would like to meet all the children. It's expected that he will' arrive about two o'clock in the after- noon with his usual supply of nuts and candies and will give each child a bag. Besides the candy there will be 100 Special Prizes and 100 chil- dren will find a slip of paper in their bag of candy, wliich will entitle them to a special prize. In order to show that the event is run fair and square we must state that out of 75 porizes given last year only 11 of them stay- ed in the village each child has an equal chance to secure a special prize. There were six hundred youngsters attended on Santa Claus day last year and the promoters-^are looking for eight hundred on his vis- it this year. Haw Bros.' pipe band of Swinton Park has been invited to attend and if the weather is favor- able will supply music that afternoon. In addition to the above T. W. Find- lay is offering prizes for sleigh dogs and all the different kinds of cats for the children. Prizes for the dogs will be $2 and $1 and for the cats $1.50 and $1. All cats are to be enclosed in boxes and the exhibit will be held in the rear of the Clay- ton Block, where a nice warm fire will be kept on. Entries for the cat show will close at 1.30 o'clock.
