REFLECTIONS,.
(By'. George Newbold)'..
Christmas," time has come - and gone'
Y
et another year. For many it is' the first
realization of . the significance .Of, the binth-
day we f celebrate at • this, . season . o f the
'year. For many more it is a. time of, re=
joicing in God's>gift to' men; It is also a
time of '.reflection reflection 'on . :earlier
Christmases 'celebrated . in 'many : different
Ways. !. , 5 ...
s
It i • a time to reflect on : childhood
family Christmases;' the 'carol singing, 'the
snow, -, buying •or cutting, the' Christmas
tree, and best of all, decorating of the'ptree
by all, the members .of 'the. family. The
hanging of :stockings produces • the great-
• est': of excitement and anticipation among
the children; ' climaxed ` by' Santa's- :visit -'
'while they sleep: It is ' also a time to re..
fleet.back on the visiting of 'friends and
family on the day .and. night before Christ
• rotas,• .exchanging gifts; ,the gifts.��ree1 ,gin
en .to less fortunate members of 'our 'com
inunity. to try 'to' -snake their Christmastime •
a little more /bright, 'and' cheerful' and to.
dim•
their' misfortune: Christmas;' day; :is
highlighted by the: opening of gifts,_ topped
off . bythat never-to-be4orgotten turkey
dinner.
• Qhe•, reflects,' too;'. on.. the . ple�a►sure . •
reiceived in '-ivin� '' to others.', Part of this
Pleasure of , giving comes from the, joyous,
Christmas atmosphere,_given out during the'+
P)t� g
slop in season' In most' centres, "large—or- ;
small, one • of the , greatest .single factors',
leading. -to this ` spirit of Christmas •is the
'beautifully attractive lights and: decorations
'that, each community.unfolds at :this .season.
of the y04'. i':. as a : community •effort ySoiyie
times :a service •club'. will be responsible for •
the decorations, sometimes,. businessmen's
s so etimes a citizens group .Or
the
, m
perhaps the . municipal :council " itself.: 'But
whoever` takes the, responsibility: for, inject •
ing a little of the joyous. spirit.,nto; our
Christmastime, iii, every : case it , is the re-
sult ,r
e-sult:,° of civicp ride on • the .'.part' .'of the' •
citizens.'"
On. o nhighlight .'
I 'can reflect . one of the
Christmas, season in, the cit 'of. Toronto . .
Y.
We,::'like,.'many Hundreds,. `even thousands,
y
alwa s' .. looked forward. to ' a drive up ' and.
., .
down, in, through' , and; .around a whole
residential section -of the west, end of the
city:. There, • practically every 'resident in
• the area .ex et,Lliis_divic
Christmasation of . his own home.
' Some :had \spent. many °hundreds of dollars
lin `displays,.. some of them even : animated..
The. Attracted.
ythousands .of.' viewers,- .to
the. .oint 'where traffic was coin 1etety
P p.•.,
,blockin ': almost the entire area: • The
effect was •magnificent, ,and sen'tyou,' away.
with a .much' improved•'''inner feeling ..for
having;. seen all. this beauty.,
Reflection 'continues as one. passes
through most.• of the surrounding• commun-
ities,
/seeingall the 'attractive streets, with
their h his ,decorations, Christ
°g mss trees
etc. One is satisfied that Christmas is truly
Christmas, •that everyone h'as the spirit ' of
the season; and that'city this lou.tward s
'of ,an inner spirit, they are :asking that you
might stop even •for, just .a little .and spend'...
a- short:time in their community Their bus-
inessmen; by their ..individual efforts in
• spreading the spirit ' of C} ristnias• through-
their- gaily decorated stores ..seem. to: be
inviiting you'to get • your gifts. for others
fromthem.

But, . this inner satisfaction • with the '
. presence' of the s irit ' Christmas P of Christmas lis •.

the' other 3.64 ' days of ' The year, except
for the change made by the decorations

VIEWS ON • ARE.NA MAINTENANCE
(The :.Paisley Advocate)
If .attendance at games here •is any
indication; the 'outlook for' hockey clubs
.in smaller towns an'd•'villages is. not, bright.,
. A • few years ago, the intermediate, club'
Was attracting crowds •of 700 to 2,000.
This, winter, to • date, the.', largest. gate has .I
been $52:50. . After the, split , of the ..gate,
the. hockey". 'club gets little more than
:'enough to paythe: referees. Minor: teams,
which 'have; been providing some spark-
the
for 'sport :t -fans ' in ,
lin � entertainmentp
g
past few years, and have brought several
championships, including an all -Ontario
title, to the: village, are playing -to only a
handful of ..:supporters.
Tara, which' in , the past had devel-:
oped many 'strong 'minor teams, this , yeaar
is without . a hockey club of any classifica=;.
tion: Port Elgin`' clubs,. in that town's new
quarter -.million : dollar arena, are -playing to
fair crowds, we' are told,. ;but..unle'ss''.they •'
have championship bontenders it is` unlikely.
'the gate receipts will even begin to pay
a the. heavy `carrying charges on the • arena.
,Southampton and ' Lucknow have new
artificial ice plants, • and 'Chesley will' join.
them 'next' .winter: These places may. `en-
'joy.' increased • attendance for a year or two,
until the new enthusi s of e` i

wears off.

glx
with the, .bush-league, style of game But
few, if any,. of the small centres can''afford
to reinforce- their clubs; with ' imports to ,

A ;BIT• ;.QF *PHILOSOPHY'
Sooner or later a man, if • he is wise,
><iscoyers . that life . is a mixture of .goo'd
days and: bad, 'victory 'and defeat,. give and
•
take,- 4 ,
He 'learns that it doesn't pay to be'
a sensitive soul,. that he should • let ;things; '
go' ..over his •head :like water.. off• ,a' duck's:
• He learns. that he who loses ' `his tern=
per, usually:loses out..' •
He learns-.: that' carrying a chip. .on 'iris
shoulder is a ,belligerent attitude •and. the'
easiest way to get into a fight, that solves.
nothing.
e-=learns-•�that a zlui k `way'' : to • e-
• ,come urlpopular, and mistrusted ' is . to

He ,comes to realize that •the business
