Jolly Santa, once' &rams- ported only. by reincteer- drawn sleigh, may 'now ar- rive by helicopter or jet plane. But in spite of changes. the • .essence of the season, the basic spirit of Christmas. stays the same. Christmastide is, above all, a time for togetherness and rejoicing. And a modern Christmas, just like an old- fashioned Christmas, calls for gatherings of family and friends, with much merri- ment, fun and feasting, Right, now in this commu- nity, families are celebrating the holiday with just Such gatherings, such merriment, fun and feasting. . Like families of yesteryear. they celebrate with gifts and :greens, with the warad h of a glowing , he arth und the gleam of it -lighted tree, wit hi stockings hung by the - ney care and even \\Atli, candles, though these beckon brightly from candleholders rather than from the Iree All these days of celeb,rat - ing are part of the legend .and lore of Christ nuts.

ThOugh Santa is more bountiful nowadays,' t he gifts he brings are like those of yesteryear in at least one way.

Decorating the 'Tree Many ancient legends as- sociate trees with Christmas. One is, that on the first Holy Night, all the trees of the forest, blossomed and bore fruit. The idea of adorning 'the Christmas tree with orna- ments may have started with an attempt to create 'the ef- fect of snow on the _branches, Strings of popcorn and tufts, of cotton were used.

The opportunity exists for most of the people to he In- volved more of the time; un- fortunately, the Perth County board of education has not ex- ploited this opportunity. We refer to the -opportunity for the - public to be involved through the free disclosure of information by the board. The most prevalent questions, about education today begin milt 'the word ',W1,,y -- does education cost si3 much?" and ,Why does one 'area of the county have facilities that' others do not have?" an i"Why is one business peoreclure approved . in pre - inexenee to another?" Tlie real answers to q•iest- ions lose these are not simple. Often. they can be answered only' by knowing all the questions. the politics and the .Philosopnies involved. Unfortunately for the public, the answers are made evident, only at committee - meetings which are closed to • the public, father than at regular board meetings, which are public.
