Robert Roberts Egmondville United Church There is an old tradition in the old countries which tells• us that during the Season of Advent when Man' remembers the birth, of its Lord a Certain angel is sent from heaven to earth disguised as a man to spread the message of Christmas. The angel is -not a minister nor a priest; he does not preach the message of "... peace on earth good Will to men"; rather, this messenger from heaven lives the good news that God is very much, among . us, The angel-visits the shut-ins; he shows warmth and compassion to those who know only seeks support as late as April makes it very hard for local couccils to do' their own budgeting. "With the' amount of help they've got up •there, they could at least get an' appoximate figure to us," he said. Mayor Betty Cardno and councillor Wayne Ellis suggested that deputy reeve Dale and reeve John Flannery 'could bring the' request, up at County Council. "Others may feel the same way," councillor Ellis said. On a 'recommendation from deputy reeve Dale, council .decided to write a the other municipalities, seeking support for the wqtiest to the boards, and to send the replies to County Council.

I, didn't make ChriStM4 cake this y' ear so that theoretically gave me lots of time to do other things. EVery year for• the past five or' six I've made this , Christmas cake but I have trouble getting past the first step. The fruit and raisins would get put in a bowl and doused with rum. They're supposed to stay that way overnight and the next day you make the batter and put the eake together. But that day in the rum usually stretched to several weeks because I never seemed to get time to get back to the fruit and • make the cake. The fruit would dry out and I'd have to add more rum. Anyway, for several years I had either the rummiest or the dryest fruitcake around. So this year I gave that up for a lost cause. I decided to Make gingerbread people (no sexism in this column) instead. 1 don't have one of ttiose pastry decoiating tubes so I used little silver and ulticoloured dots for —eyes and our God - Divinity Itself revealed.

It was probably a mistake, but we decided to get away from it all and take a day off last weekend.

"Saturday night we arrived, home exhausted with tons of things' yet, to be done for Christmas. Given the condition of our house, getting , ready for Christmas involves a whole lot more than putting up a tree and a few wreaths. This .year it meant sanding and refinishing all the downstairs floors except the kitchen's. My Scrooge like husband, who caught my column about carols last week, says he's too bloody busy working on the floors to sing anything. But he was serenaded several times over the weekend by friends who took my message to heart. One friend even played her Autry no .less, for me at a Christmas.party. It's all m usic to my ears and he's coming around (or getting worn down). The floors looked so bright and- shiny on Stmday that we were inspired to move some furniture into the living room.

Six of us sat around in the newly furnished living room, looking at the tree which' seems right at home, despite the fact that it's the first Christmas tree in at least 20 years to stand in the room, eating home made mince pie. The moral is, relax, and enjoy the holiday season. No matter how much rushing-around we do, there comes a point when you have to 'Say woaa, what is this all about anyway?

It's been hectic for all of us at the Expositor this week, mating last minute preparations for our big Christmas and New 'Years issue But we've had a lot of fun too, especially with this week's ,centerfold photos of the Expositor staff. Now most of us, maybe Dave Robb is the exception, never dreamed we would ever make it to a centerfold anywhere. But Dave came up with the layout of the bells and as there was no way we'd atl fit on , one it was centerfold for all of us. Dave set up an assembly line to take everyone's photo' last week but there ' was a lot' of grouching about "my hair looks horrible" and "I always take a bad picture" so we gave all the grouchers a choice.
