Edington School Trustee May Peace and Happiness be yours this Christmastide and may the year 1929 be the most prosperous and successful you have yet experienced. This is my ardent wish for the people of )Vest Vancouver, young and old. Christmas is a time of partic- ular joy to the youngsters and their happrness is reflected in the parents. The welfare and progress of the school age child is a very important part of our civic activities, and the privilege I have had of acting as School Trustee for several years is one I have greatly appreciated. Councillor O'. Blair It is my earnest wish that every residerrt in our municipal- ity will have the best Christmas they ever had; and that on this festive occasion, there will be ev- ident in our midst a spirit of co- operation, in thought and action, for the welfare and happiness of all residents of our District. I sincerely wish you a Happy Christmas and a Prosperous and Progressive New Year. J. H. Leyland School Trustee Christmas is obviously the children's season of happiness and jollity. It is a time of the year when the whole civilised world turns back the pages of history to reflect for a moment on the birth of a Little Child in a manger at Bethlehem, and the l:sson which it teaches. Just as the Angels welcomed this event nineteen centuries ago with songs of "Peace on earth, and Good»ill towards men", so may the hearts of our citizens join in the spirit of gladness and fellowship, and may the children especially, r&ot only enjoy the festive season in health and mer- riment, but share with others less fortunately situated some of the blessings and happiness Christmas brings. The time-honored wish of "A Happy Christmas and a Prosper- ous New Year to Alias is one which I sincerely hope»ill be enjoyed by all citizens of ~Vest Vancouver. ~ ~ WO W4 W4 &8 &0 W WO ~ ~ ~ ~ W+ WS ~ W WS P~~ ~ WO ~ ~~i~-.=~~=-.=.=.=.~e~~~ =~~e~~=.~-.-- --. -- -- -.-q, lg "(6l~risimas J&ng" tt There is Christmas Joy in my heart today, pt As I turn from the things of the world away, )l.
