of the BACK SHOP.
We skipped down the .alley; and
we sped through the snow; we
slipped taro' the slush. We .sent
with firm resolve to see this very
Christmassy Clinton, and we were
not .disappointed with what we
saw.
We saw the wreaths, the
streamers and bells; we saw
the trees and the imitation
holly; we saw the toys, the
dolls and the drums; we saw
objects for work, and some
others for fun; we visited
stores, and we stepped into
shops; we were quite satisfied
with the look 6f the stock,
ElLr7
We thought of the Back Shop,
which, though inky and dusty, has
a bit of an aura rk cheer round
about. For the world of Decem-
ber is more in our Canada, than
a world of work, and of toil and
of Gare. By tradition December is
brim £u11 of promise, By practice
December is chock full of pleasure.
For certain December is just what
we make it: a barrel of fun, or a
bundle of worry,
• D D D•
And somehow this Christrtias
in a world -full of plenty,
means more to us this year
than ever before. We're glad
to be living in Clinton, in
Huron, in Ontario, Canada,
this great wide sweet land.
We're thankful we live where a
man •may feel ;free; to laugh, or to
ponder; to smile .gr to frown.
We're ever so glad to be living in
freedom, though the world may
be fraught with fears and with
greed,
Q Q Q
We're glad t.Jiere are
churches. In. Clinton, the ten
different creeds exist side by
side. The folk who believe
and the folk who are dubious,
all work together, eat togeth-
er, laugh, talk and sing. Our
people in Canada, just as in
Clinton, are a unit, an entity,
a growing, live thing, We're
Canadians, proud of our herit-
age, here. We're proud of our
being, and ,proud of our land.
'DDD
And now, as we" sit 'neath the
tree of December, and think once
again of our blessings, and all;
may we never forget the One
who came to us; the One who
was given that°alI might be saved.
The Baby that lay in the manger
of Bethlehem, came to make
wonderful, earth's many people,
Let us give thanks for the Babe
and His kindliness. Let us give
thanks for that great Prince of
Peace.
Best Wishes
for Christmas

The National Council of Women
of Canada representing 605,000
women across the country, has
presented the Cabinet with a
"strong protest" over the proposed
increased postal rates,
A five -woman delegation, pre-
senting their annual brief to the
Government, said the new pro- a
posed postal rates were exhorbit 4
ant "and out of line with the rea-
sons given" for the increase. The
regular rates are to be increased
by one cent next April 1.
Postal rates are to be increased
to five cents for out of town and
four cents local delivery. This is
to pay wages to hire extra employ-
ees which will make it possible
for postal employees to work a 40 -
hour week,
Their objections were presented
to Prime Minister St. Laurent and
six other members of the Cabinet,
including Finance Minister Abbott.
Asked what Mr, Abbott's reac-
tion was to' a suggestion the dele-
gation made that the postal rates
issue be debated in the Commons,
a spokesman quoted the finance
minister saying:
"Undoubtedly it will be debated
—loud and long."
