OF BELLS TILE WFIATHER. has not been of the best to ensure the "Christmas Spirit". But, wherever you go these last few days before the big day, there is the seundof bells around about us. Sometimes /it is inmusic coming from a radio; sometimes from the loud- speaker in front of a store; sometimes from a TV set; sometimes from the :glorious music of the church; 'Sometimes through an open window of a home where a piano is playing, Everyivehere is the joyous sound of great happiness .at the coming of Christ. In the present day when automation and machines of all kinds have placed a great em- phasis upon the value of things, it appears at first thought that the possession of objects is the main wish of people at Christmas time,. • But 'we know different. There is.the music of the bells', and they tell Us ;that as. the times change, ,and the possession ofexpensive items is becoming commonplace among even: the least of us, that it is the true spirit of Christmas Which speaks when families set out to give gifts to each other, and to their friends, . We are not more worldly than .our ancestors were. They gave- -what they had and could obtain to give. We are able to give more be- cause more is available.

The loss of many newspapers of independent voice has been missed from the Canadian scene. The growth of chain newspapers, has not fulfilled the function. . The Dominion 'government could help the sma11 weeklies carry an in these daya of high production costs by such measures as removing, the 10 percent government tax on pinting:. Most small newspapers havejob printing de- partments and such action would be an encour- agement. Furthermore, the government practice of doing its own printing in competition with its• own taxpayers, who pay heavily in taxesfdr the privilege of carrying on business should be elim- inated. If this form of socialism were followed its logical on'elu i to gical c � ss on and the government operated all' classes of business for its own buy- ing, private business would receive a serious blow and tax revenues would be greatly affeoted, Prime Minister John Diefenba'ker expressed concern about the plight of small business dur- ing his election campaign.

You hear so many young- ish married people, mostly women, say: "Christmas comes but once a year thank goodness!" And the sad 'part is that they mean it. :u s * * Simple truth is that Christmas has almost got out of hand, econ- omically and socially. The,.Fam- ily Provider watches with grow- ing uneasiness the piling up of ex- penses, and knows he won't be out of debt until next June. The harrassed matron, trying to cope with children's concerts, and ever- seeeiling list of gifts and cards, an ever-increasing round of pre - Christmas entertainments, along with all the extra cleaning and baking before the big day, becom- es a study in exhausted asperity. * But it's all our awn faiult, and there's no need to feel sorry for us.

Despite' all teie high-pressure salesmanship, which reaches the height of absurdity when we see a brewery advertising Christmas carols; despite the seasonal scram- ble' that leaves us feeling like the outside leaf on a midwinter head of lettuce, I think it CAN be a good and happy time, with a little effort, a little thought andea lot of tolerance. * ** Here's my formula far spending the' happiest, most rewarding Christmas you've ever spent. Just a few simple do's and don'ts. I pass it along,. as my Christmas' gift to the readers of this column, along with my. appreciation for all their kind and encouraging re- marks. 5 :( * * DON'T win a 25 -pound turkey at a pre -Christmas raffle, totter up the stairs under its weight at 3 a.m. and throw it triumphantly on the bed just as your epouse is sit - ;tine up in it toe blast you. I `did, the bed collapsed, and the Old Lady wound up on the floor in the embrace of acold and very dead turkey . This.: is conducive to neither peace en earth nor good will toward men. .5 5 * 5 DO be a helpful, tolerant and incanspicious as possible around the house during those' trying prre- Christmas, days. Your wife is not really going through change of life. Those screams at the child•• rein, snarls at, you, and general maniac depresive symptoms mer- ely mean that: (a) she has lost her Christmas card list from last year; (b) Aunt Sadie and Uncle George have just written to say they'll be here for Christmas, with the five kids; or (0) she has found the present you hid so carefully, and is not too happy about that lovely pair of kneeling pads you're giving her. • * '' DON'T leave all your Christmas shopping until, the last day, then get a few hookers under your belt and sally forth to clean it all up in one merry excursion. Fellow I know did' that Iast year. It'' prov- ed that he was a generous sort at heart. But he had a devil of a time getting the fellow who sold him the pony for his two-year-old daughter to take it back.on Boxing Day, And he spent all spring try- ing to get back the down payment he had given the airline company on one of those "Fly Now -:-Pay Later" trips to South America, for two. * 5 * 5 DO' teach your children the cor- rect words of their Christmas carols. Suriday night we were having a practise session for young Hugh, in preparation for the Christmas concert, and were sent into a mild state of shock when one line came out ins. his high, clear soprano thus: "Where shep- herds washed their Socks• by night." You. wouldn't mind some shepherd's pie made out of such sanitary types, but it does sound a bit blasphemous, * * DON'T take the family out hi the woods to get a Christines tree, You windup with wet feet, head colds, 'torn, clothing, your ear all scratched and a tree that bears a striltirig resemblance to the aid rugged cross. Buy one at the. corner. DOI hake up_ a big basket and take It yourself to the poorest family In town, on Christmas Eve.
