The Christmas Party was made possible through a joint effort of the Madison County Day Care Center, Madison County Dept. of Social Ser vices, and Land-of-Sky Council on Aging. Those present enjoyed a plate of holiday fruit, nuts, candy, cookies, and ice cream. Several women were heard to remark that even though the greats were goiiyf to absoutely ruin their school-girl figures, they were too superbly delicious to turn down. Credit for the palatable treats goes to Ms. Maria Cox. Ms. Cox was assisted by her children, David and Rosi, who helped with serving. The participants were surprised with a gift students living on the west side of the River were still travelling the long detour route through Marshall. I understand all the Madison County High School students are using the "walking" plan. We all regret the in convenience to all of these students and, of course, we will do our best to provide a prompt solution. If we may be of any further assistance, please let me know.
