With a great blast and rousing cheers, Santa Claus arrived and presented gifts fro pi the tree laden with toys and festooned with fairy lights and tinsel. When the toys, sweets and balloons had been distributed Father Christmas made a happy little speech to the children, telling them how grateful they should be to all those responsible for such a happy party, especially the committee, Mesdames Alilligen, Davis, Dane, Garry and Alartin.
