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.

A Nickel Each er 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."
