In November 1950, while the austerity of the war years was still being felt, three Kennoway neighbours, – Mrs Harper, Mrs Baillie, and Mrs Cunningham, all of Myreside Avenue – came up with the idea of a Christmas party for all the youngsters in their neighbourhood.
But with 200 children in Myreside alone, that was a bit ambitious so, instead, they settled on an area around their own doors, enlisting the support of 18 other families to entertain around 50 boys and girls.
Each week in the build-up to Christmas, two shillings was donated by the households for food and presents.
The local fruit merchant, Mr Taylor, sold 50 oranges and apples for ten shillings; the baker, Mr Tullis, provided the catering; and the Temperance Hall was booked as the venue.
Mrs Harper's brother-in-law apparently had a direct link to Santa who turned up to distribute the gift for every child.
Such was the success of the party and the example of community spirit, the Leven Mail sent out a photographer to take the picture shown here.
