NEW YEAR SOCIAL HOUR At 7:30 p.m. Sunday, January one, the church vestry Is opening its doors for a social gathering ot its people and community sing, together with a feature, the story I of the Birth ot Christ in flannel- graph. This will be given by Mrs. j James B. Wilkinson of Camp Good ' News at Forestdale. Mrs. Wilkinson will be giving. this story for the twelfth time this Christmas season, having already presented It In several places on ! Cape Cod to very appreciative and : good-sized audiences. Those who , have seen It call It moBt unusual : in its appeal and call attention , specially to the beautiful material Mrs. Wilkinson uses for the story. Prior to coming to Cape Cod, Mrs. Wilkinson worked among the . schools In Detroit for 15 years, I telling Bible stories by means of tlannelgraph. She did this In 160 schools. The Pastoral Committee and the Board of Education are sponsor- ing this evening in the church ves- trv and invite both adults and children of the Community to come. TWELFTH NIGHT CELEBRATION To remind the village and friends nearby that the Library will cele- brate this ancient festival as is its custom , on Friday afternoon, Jan- uary 6, at 4 o'clock, on the Library hill. If you have not found a per- manent place for your Christmas trees and greens, bring them to the hill on that afternoon , that they may be a part of this age-old cus- tom of burning greens on Twelfth Night. BUY THE PATRIOT FOR HOMI TOWN NEWS LIBRARY CHRISTMAS STORY HOUR It seems to be a permanent part of the village's celebration ot Christmas to have a story-hour at the Library, Therefore on Thurs- day evening. December 22, the books were hung with bay and pine, the candles were lighted to wel- come the village children and their parents for this magic hour. MIBS Marlon Sawyer ot Oster- ville read the lovely "Dulce Do- mum" from Kenneth Grahame's Immortal "Wind In the Willows"| which relates so charmingly the i Christmas-eve adventures of Water- j Rat and Mole, as Mole rediscovers , the precious call ot his old home. At once there was established that delightful and subtle relationship between story-teller and audience which makes for perfect under- , standing. So that once again we all made friends with the river , bank folk, as if this story told long ago for his little son by the au- | thor were being read for 'the first time to us. "Villagers all, this frosty tide, Let your doors swing open wide, Though wind may follow, and snow beside Yet draw us In by your lire to bide, Joy shall be yours in the morning!" , The Roving Reader writes,— "Very much of what we are asked to consider funny and ' amusing seems to some of us rather broad and salacious. However, there Is a lot of clean and real humor In the Book of the Month Club choice of "Cheaper by the Dozen," which I am told is having quite a run at the Library and I would like to ! suggest . The 'Dozen,' as you may 1 know, are children and not the least interesting thing about them is that It concerns the Galbraiths of Montclair. We are not sure il i this family ever summered on the ! Cape but very many of their friends ' and neighbors have done so and , the name Is a familiar one among i them, where their adventures are a source of amusement and much more of pride. The book is written with a loving and sure touch by two of the Dozen and made its firs t appearance as a condensation in The Ladies' Home Journal for Jan- j uary, 1949, where will be found some illustrations, Including one 1 full two-page 'spread.' Please do not miss it." PERSONALS Of the many family parties which were happily enjoyed at the Christmas season was that at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Buckler where the entire family gathered.

Jackson Butler, former pastor of the Community Church. ¦ It will be of interest to so many of his friends In Osterville that your reporter asked the Patriot to pub- lish it: Cresent City Cal. Christmas 1949 ' Dear Friends, Holly and red ribbons are ap- I pearing on front doors, wreaths in , windows—colored lights and gift suggestions in the stores—carols j are being sung by groups preparing their annual Christmas Program— ' and since this is happening all over 1 our land , and in lesser degree all over our world—we cannot escape knowing that Christmas is near. I think that men of sensitive spirit would know it in their hearts, as well, for we rejoice to remember that all our hope and confidence is in God—and to remember, too, that this is so' because God sent His Son to dwell among us. And Christmas is His birthday ! We have been trying to keep I this fact before our people. Every- , thing else that has come to be associated with Christmas so eas- ily buries God's Son beneath the piles of tissue and ribbon and |opened gifts. We have been trying 1 to impress our people with the fact that Christmas on _Sunday Is not an I inconvenience, interfering with ] family Christinas celebrations, but a I rare privilege. Christmas and Sun- day falling on the same day can ; add up to an unforgettable experi- ence of God's love for us all. Our Christmas wish for all of you ls that your Christmas may be that kind of unforgettable spiritual ex- perience after which we are never the same again! We are so eager to know how It is with all of you out there, and I we are ready to trade news about our family. This year, like every |year, has been the "best yet." We , worked like trojans to get our new church ready for the first service, a Consecration Service, on February 1 20th. BlBhop Tlppett and our Dis- ' trlct Superintendent were here, and 1 It waB an hour of victory and [ achievement for us. At last we I were worshipping In the church |which had been our dream for so I long. Afterward we had a buffet dinner for our distinguished guests and our building committee meiii- , hers and their wives. Another day to remember always. Then came a |series of "firsts"—the flm wed- , ding, the first communion , the first Easter.- On Palm Sunday we dedi- cated our beautiful stained-glass 1 chancel windows. In June our pipe , organ arrived and was installed. It was dedicated In September with an organ recital that thrilled us all. I Our chancel furniture is here and • installed , and these blessed people here, who have made our living l here so happy, did one more thing —they presented the new pulpit in Jack's honor. It will beer a brass plate telling of his leadership in i the building of the church. Was ' there ever a more fitting thing to give In honor of a minister? | Vacation time was memorable I for us, too ,in that It brough t vis- itors. In July Jack's father and ' mother and sister Kathryn from Oklahoma arrived. Two weeks la- ' ter we started south with them. Gave them our San Francisco tour, then on to wonderful Yosemlte (pleasurable overnight stop with the Baldwins in Merced). Stopped I with an aunt and uncle at North I Fork , and then on to LOB Angeles where the rest of the Butlers could be -together. Two days before the Oklahoma visitors left for home, Muriel's mother and Mrs. Meyers I ,from Hinghsm) arrived. There was more visiting and sight-seeing, re- peat In San Francisco for the new visitors, nnd return to Crescent City where we had a month before ' the easterners had to return. We have so much to show our visitors —redwoods, mountains, streams, I flowers. We enjoy showing off our wonderful advantages—and are eager for more visitors. So many of you who promised to come to • California haven 't knocked on our : front door yet«-and we are wait- I ing with our heartiest welcome out, Jack was able to attend a con- I feronce at Asllomsr during the year and of course there was the Annual Conference In June. Muriel / had her vacation from home du- 1 ties when she attended the annual , WSCS house party. We were both away together at anniversary time (May 1st) when Portland, Oregon, was the place of interest. As usual, Jack was the real traveler this year. In September he flew east to Randolph-Macon College, Lynch- burg, Virginia, where he attended the flrBt Conference on the Town |Church, and was chairman of the section on Fishing and Shipping towns. It was a wonderful experi- ence, of course. Washington, D. C, was his base of operations while j in the east, again doing some lobby- !ing for the local chamber of com- merce and our Dutch girl refugee, all of which waB vastly Interesting. Washington also brought the cher- ished opportunity to see some old fr/ends. There was a day in Phila- delphia divided between the Bruce McCullough s and the Board of Missions, a brief experience at La- Guardia Field in New York—and all too soon (except for eagerness to see and be with the family again) it was good-bye to the east again. I By train to Detroit and then Lan- sing, Michigan, where he picked up ¦our new Oldsmoblle at the factory and drove home all alone. Califor- nia never looked better! Highlight |of the drive home was an overnight stop with the Paine's at Grand j Island , Nebraska. We have both spent a great deal | of time ori Ye Olde Tyme Syngge 1 given last week for our building fund. Our closing scene was a beautifully lighted and costumed nativity scene, accompanied by the loveliest music we could And from all the very lovely Christmas mu- sic. It was our attempt to take Christmas out of the commercial and material. The rest of the show was just good home-talent and we had many compliments on It. It was fun to do—and piles of work, as moBt anyone knows. Muriel divides her time between the inside and the outside (garden- ing) of the house, besides keeping . a finger on our WSCS end belonging |to all the groups—plus keeping us all fed and clothed. Life in the par- sonage 1B strenuous—and reward- j ing, aB many of you who read this , know from first hand experience. i Galle 1B as busy as any 8th grader with music and Scouts and other outside interests. She must make a 170-mile trip by bus every two week s for the Btralghtenlng of her teeth (coming along fine , but how lt lightens the family purse), und now is wearing glasses for reading. Her latest sport Is bowl- ing, at which she is quite good. She belongs to a grade school league and her team "is in the lead, Roberta and Paul are growing tall and wise for their years. Rob- erta missed going to school this year by 18 days. We were disap- pointed but feel lt is not a major tragedy. They were both In our "Syngge," as last year, and def- initely know how to mug a scene. They always score a hit Just by being on stage. They are very In- terested In Christmas and Santa Claus this year and the grapevine tells us they will not be disap- pointed. For Thanksgiving we had the Baldwins from Mereed and the Ry- ders from Coblesklll, New York, for a few days. We had a wonder- ful time together, marred only by tho fact that none of us caught any fish (salmon) and Jack was sick on Thanksgiving day and could neither preach nor eat turkey, Don did both for him. This Is how It is with us, now tell UB how it Is with you. We think of all of you so often , remembering our cherished associations in the past, and hoping that you will give j us opportunity to personally renew our friendship bonds by coming to I see us, In the new year, soon to . begin, may God richly bless you I one and all.
