Happenings The high school chorus and bands will perform at the high school on December 17 at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 18 is the citrus sale pick-up and delivery. On a bright sunny day, Marion merchants, businesses and organizations presented Christmas in Marion. Lots of folks saw the Museum collection of 'old toys and games' - remembering times past. A collection of blown glass, antique style, Santas from around the world were hung on a tree sprinkled with colored lights. Guests sampled the cookies, with the recipes of the countries of the elegantly dressed Santas. There was banket from the Netherlands, baklava from Greece, Mexican wedding cakes, fruit cake bars from England, and pfeffernusse from Germany. The tiny felt angels from Monica Churchill of Walworth were hung on the mantle of the fireplace in the Heritage Room. Remember when we made snowflakes and colored chains in the country school? Well, all was repeated in the country schoolroom at Marion Museum. 'Merry Christmas!' Missionary Brian Renes preached the sermon at the worship service at the Second Reformed Church on December 8. Word has been received of the death of Ronald Witter, of Marion and Princeton, NJ. He was predeceased by his wife, Maurel K. Witter. He is survived by two daughters, Janet and Barbara, and brothers Richard Witter of Aiken, SC, and Robert Witter of California. A memorial service will be held in January in Princeton. Pearl Dey is receiving therapy on her broken ankle at the DeMay Center in Newark. Tom and Joanne Porter have returned to their Philadelphia home following a stay with their daughter and family, Pastor Donald and Judy White and girls. Jake Haak returned home last week, following a hospital stay. Remember: If you are looking for the 'perfect' gift, there are lovely things at the Marion Museum, like two different coverlets, Christmas bells, note paper, replicas of early churches and businesses. 'Kids hang up their stockings at Christmas - then it's a full year before they hang up anything again!' Roast Beef Supper this evening at the Marion Legion Home. December 4, 1915: The Bashford Vinegar Works which has done a large business the past season, has now finished taking in apples and grinding and will now barrel the vinegar. Thanks to Linda Roeland and Barb DeWandel who scoured their closets for 'toys of yesteryear' which helped to make the display at the Marion Museum so complete for our holiday open house. December 19 - Marion 5th and 6th Grade Chorus Concert at 7 p.m. Elementary Auditorium. December 20, Penny Fund Assembly. 'Seconds count, especially when dieting.' A heartfelt thank you to the Marion Ambulance and firemen, our neighbors and friends. Everyone was so kind and helpful when Doug and Allen were injured in the accident. The cards, prayers and inquiries are deeply appreciated. - The Douglas Doyle Family
