The Christmas festive season was ushered into this district on Wednesday evening when the Haysville Hall was wellâ€"filled for the annual Christmas concert of S.S. No. 6, Haysville. An added feature at this event was the draw for a twentyâ€"pound turkey which was won by Mr. Waiter Borst. The draw was made by Miss Ruth Ann Brenneman. Tickâ€" ets had been sold by the pupils of the school in an effort to raise money for the purchasing of dark blinds for the school windows in order that visual aid programs might be carried on. Mr. Bruce Graham was the chairman for a splendid variety program presentâ€" ed by the pupils and the teacher, Miss Thelma Fee, consisting of choruses, plays, recitations, drills, and pantomine. Little Miss Ruth Ann Brenneman opened with a recitation, "Scared" and two plays worthy of note were entitled, "Housekeeper Wanted" and "Uncle Hiram‘s Cold," this Haysville School Concert. Remember when you are buying gifts. The person receiving them is going to appreciate them regardless of what they are. They are going to treasure them for a great many years if you have used some thought before you bought. * S..W. Wilmot : Most teen agers are like most adults. They have their likes and dislikes, their hobbies and their work. When it comes to receiving gifts, the large majority of them are also like the adults, they like something they would not buy themseives unless they had some extra money . . . and who does these days. Some parents and relatives seem to think that as long as a child is in the early stages, toys and the like are the proper things to give. When the same child graduates to a teen ager, the giving usually changes to clothing of some kind or another, with little or no thought behind them. The days of having pop open his Christmas package hoping for a new fishing reel and discovering a flashy tie instead, are as dead as the dodo bird. Mother is starting to use a little more thought and originality, in picking his gift, and those women who are not, should be. _ With the exception of the teenâ€"age girl and some women who do not care for anything in particular except clothes, we are inclined to believe that the gift most appreciated is one that a person would not buy himself unless he was well supplied with funds. In this day and age, even those having a fair amount of money think twice before investing it in anything other than essentials The logical answer then to a gift is something that the individual you are giving to would not put out money for, but would appreciate very much if given it. Regardless of conditions in the stores, we have decided this year to give only gifts we would like to receive ourself, taking into consideration the fact that we are not always right, we will probably end up by giving some presents which will be consigned to the drawer and never taken out until that particular person runs short of presents to give to someone else. With Christmas nearly here, it behooves those of us who have lagged behind in the rush to purchase gifts for those we love, to get a move on. Probably the things we have thought we would like to give, have by now been purchased by someone a little faster with their shopping or with a little less work to do.
