A candle in the window can light the Christ Chilli on his way, says Irish legend. Nativity scenes in homes and churches ,depict the ani- mals of the Manger-ancLon Christmas Eve, the cattle, the sheep and all the animals pre- sent at the Nativity are given the gift of speech. So says the lore of Christ- mas. Blossonling on the holiday scene, greens and flowers spread their beauty and fra- grance, reminding all of the living wonder of Christmas. In legend, all flowers bloom at midnight on Christmas Eve, just as they did more than 2,000 years ago. The legend and lore of Christmas expresses the sim- ple faith that lies at the heart of this happy, holy time. Some of the most delightful of legends are told in carols. From France comes the "Carol of the Birds." Its words recount how the birds flew to Bethlehem tq behold the Christ Child. Each bird, as it flew, sang a special song of praise and rejoicing. There's a "Carol of the Flowers," too. Sumnaonecrto the presence of the newborn King, every flower blossom- ed, and each blossom was a symbol of the . Little One's virtues. Students of Mrs. Ken Bochert who teaches room 4 in Seaforth Public School recently took a trip to McKillop and Susan Smith aged 9, recalls the experience. , We went on a trip to Vincent's new farm machinery building. We went by school bus. WE went in I t's Entertainment That carols have always been popular music, in the modern sense, -is illustrated by the mystery plays of medieval England, say the editors of the New Book of Knowledge. At first, carols were sung between the acts, just .as music might be,provitled dur- ing intermission, at a play or movie. Soon, people demanded more. In r-esponse to their • • enthusiasm, carols were sung on stage, as part of the entertainment. The leader had a portable organ and led the singers in a procession across the stage. Swept away by the spirit of the carols, the audience some- times joined in, and the pro- cession moved into the streets, singing. And today, that same en- thusiasm leads people every- where-to join in the singing of beloved carols. CAREFUL WITHCOMMA! That old carol really isn't "God Rest You, Merry Gentle- men," but "God Rest (Keep) You Merry, Gentlemen," twos, but we had to go in single file to go across .a narrow piece of plywood which led into the building. There we met MR. Vincent, the owner of the build- ing.. He called the contractor who helped him to answer some Mr. Vincent asked him when they planned to be finished. He figured it would be completed in a couple of months. The building is about 60 ft. wide and 144 ft. long. The floor is going to be 5 inches thick, and made of cement. The inside walls of the large building will be lin- ed with insulation and covered with plastic. Then' they will put on steel sheeting. There is a well 90 ft. deep and this Will be used for the water. supply. They are going to have three offices, a place for-the 'men to fix farm equipment and also a place for the new machinery. There wil 1 be an upstairs for the men, and a bathroom with big laundry tubs so the men can get%themselves clean. We all enjoyed the trip to Vincents new building. "Liability insurance' com- panies are Ignoring their res- ponsibilities to rural mun i cipali- ties," Ontario Federation of Agriculture president Gordon Hill charged In Markdale re- cently. They're apparently hid- ing behind farmers' natural re- luctance to make a fuss. Munici- palities should change insurers if they find they don't provide protection." Mr. Hill was referring to the problem of farm fences damaged. last winter by snowplows. "Farmers suffered thousand% of dollars damage," he said, "and very few of them received any compensation at all." The September, 1970, issue of Municipal World magazine - the councilman's bible - laid responsibility for fence damage by snowplows firmly with the municipalities. "The real prOblem though is that companies providing lia- bility insurance are extremely reluctant to pay claims unless, the farmer sues the municipality in cettrir° Ur, 0,010.11:44!FS071- erS aTe pot keen *Age PP/1141, Men - whe'may 410 •49, neighbotira and Pe as a gener#4' rule, the insurance COMPP40e get away scOt"free." Mr, Hill noted that the whole' community benefits from POPYir plowing operations, and that the. whole conimenity should,there- fore, share the cost of damage resulting from these operations, cOr oleo "ca5 sitYfi eAVart.; ,--•:Vrar: Ere, - .49,softf rN otUf LL AN& .9 Irklo I S r.tr r,fn aor.,,, 1.11.11.40.1.0.0 Packages from 59c to $1.98 Nationally known , Rustcraft and Coutts-Hallmark Cards and Wrapping Gay, Colorful Wrapping Paper, Tape and Stickers FOLDS 15c .and 25c • W1NCHELSEA Correspondent. 54rs.
