The Christmas Concert and Tree. New Year’s festivities. Two Community nights. The very latest in choirs and orchestras just now sprouting. The worst snow­ storm in twelve years. A record low temperature. Frozen noses and ears, innumerable. Edmonton House was finished far enough to -occupy at Christmas. I am living, eating, sleeping, working and entertaining in the one big room 14 by 16 ft. and using the other two. as storage space for the present. And what with its curtains, rugs on the floor and bright Indian blanket on the couch it looks just what it is— tone of the cosiest rooms north of the Peace River. My bachelor neighbors think it just a little bit of Paradise, anyhow, and when combined with scalloped potatoes, roast pork* pump­ kin pie and tea out of dainty China cups, their conquest is complete. The Christmas Tree and Concert were a wonderful success. The lo­ cal school teacher here took charge of the program and although prepar­ ed in a hurry, it was a most credit­ able performance. The schoolhouse was jammed to the doors. People came by the sleighload for miles over the rough trails. It was the first Christmas trees some of the children had ever seen—and their eyes were like saucers. When old -Santa ar­ rived and began to distribute the gifts the children swarmed up onto ,the platform and would not be shoo­ ed away. Sio. we laughingly gave up and waded around as best we could. I don’t think a single child was for­ gotten. Each one received at one gift and a sack .of candy. Four Children Outfitted. Just before the concert a brought his four children into the doctor’s house in a jumper. They were snug and warm under a feather tick, but the'two little girls hadn’t a stitch of clothing except a thin little flanneltte dress apiece and old worn-out mocassins on their feet. Did I have any clothes to spare. I certainly did. We soon had them out­ fitted so that the father changed his mind about taking them straight back home. I persuaded them all to stay for the concert and the poor little mites sat up there close to the tree, almost too awed by all the won­ derful proceedings to move -or say a word. They are Poles and couldn’t understand much of the.program but I know it will be a long day before they forget their first Christmas Tree. I am so sorry but the bale- of White Gifts did not arrive in time for the tree. It was held up in the freight somewhere. It didn’t come till after New Year’s. -However, we had enough gifts for tho tree and I’m going to make those White Gifts serve a greater purpose. I’m taking them with me, piece by piece, as I ride up and down the trails, making a sort of perpetual Christmas, last­ ing all winter. And the folks, little, and big, who receive them certainly hear about where they come from. One and all, they send to you their grateful thanks. crisp air. comes the |Mr, Dixon Down the for medical supplies for the district, many people cannot afford to buy even a bottle of 'medicine. The con­ cert was all local talent, choruses, solos, quartettes and original one- act comedies. We did enjoy the prac­ tices,! Nobody guessed that there was so much talent in Dixonville be- fore it came to light in this concert. And now that it’s discovered we’re certainly not going to let it get rusty, Drove 18 Miles, 08 Below Population increased, by One Two weeks ago the Peace River country saw the bitterest weather in many years, .The thermometer -wont down to 68 below, and of all nights in the winter, I was called out that night to a settler’s home, 18 miles to the west. They came in for me in. a jumper, which is simply a box built on the front bob of a sleigh, Horseback was out of the question. Phew, bqt it was cold! so cold that my exceedingly , brief “whiskers” froze to the handkerchief covering my face with every breath. How­ ever, we landed without any serious frostbites and before morning the population of the Peace River had been increased by one, a fine baby boy. I came home the next day, a Sunday with the thermometer still below the 4Q mark, word came out to the little baby had denly and would I hold a . funeral service. There isn’t an ordained minister within sixty miles/ nor a graveyard of any description, so we buried that much-wanted and sadly-grieved-for baby on a little knoll overlooking the valley of the Whitemud River. The -parents are very fine people held in (high regard by their neigh­ bors and they are most anxious to have church services started in their district They have been there four years without a church of any kina.

More than seventy boys from Ottawa and Ottawa Valley^ points competed for the Chateau Laurier cup and twenty- five other prizes. All dogs were owned And driven by boys or girls under sixteen years of age. Dog lights and excitement^ runaways and blanket finishes were plentiful as the dogs swept along over the half-mile track to tho cheers of old and young specta* < tors in the grand stand within sight of which every foot of the races were run. To nine-year-old Teddy Turgeon, of Ottawa arid his almost-police dog Don, went premier honors, the final being decided in & neck and neck finish between Don and Lloyd Jenkins’ black Collie. The dogs swept down the stretch nose to nose, but the police dog had the longer nose and got the judges' call and the championship of the annual half-pint derby . . .

You remember White Gift Sunday in Ca­ ven Church when the children brought their gifts to- the tree, and after they were all iaid about its foot Mr. Rhodes offered up a prayer for the missionary in far-off Dixon­ ville? Tabling into account the dif­ ference in time, at that same hour I was on horseback riding over to Boe- ton Creek school for the morning service. * I had been extremely busy and up most of tho night before. 1 had a treat but didn’t know what 1 was going to say by way of a ser­ mon. While Duke twisted and turn­ ed, following the curves in the trail, I was asking, and asking, and ask­ ing for inspiration and before I reached the school the inspiration came. It was one of the best ser­ vices we have had. Nobody can make me believe but that the pray­ ers going up ih Caven Church, hun­ dreds of miles atvay that morning, were swiftly answered. And many other times, too. I have no doubt. On January 6tli, we had our first Community night in Dixonville.

We had a midnight operation. One of my bachelor neighbors 'has been suffer­ ing for weeks wtli a most abominable tooth ache. Last night in despera­ tion his heart going about one hun­ dred and twenty per, he took, his nerve in both hands and hustled along the trail to “Doc's House.” It required an anaesthetic, a stout pair .of forceps, all t’he muscle I had and another bachelor to hold the light., but we got the tooth, ache and all! Then we celebrated the occasion with a good cup of tea, and reminis­ cences of other operations of various kinds. The patient is much con­ cerned as to whether he talked while under the anaesthetic. Surely he wasn't crazy enough to repeat any of last Sunday night’s conversation with the lady of his choice??!!?!! The doctor’s neighbors look after lie-r woodpile.

Tho Chautauqua season has become a factor-, in the aesthetic life of the community and one that is.prized highly by those who in the past have availed themselves of these ■outstanding opportunities for enjoy­ ment of musical and dramatic art and for the stimulation of their minds and hearts- by listening to ad­ dresses replete with logic, lofty sen­ timent and inspiration. Chautauqua brings to. a commun­ ity something that is uniquely help­ ful. It acts on the communal sys­ tem like a tonic, reviving enthus­ iasm and spreading abroad the gos­ pel of optimism and good cheer. Chautauqua never is pessimistic and never looks on the dark side of things. Tho keynote of Chautauqua is that men and women and boys and girls have a right to be happy, healthy and prosperous and that it is tho duty of all to help others'. Lec­ turers On the Chautauqua circuit all are working to inspire their hearers to do their part in making the com­ munity healthier, wiser and happier and more ready for service in the interests In their fellowmen, Year by year the tonic value of Chautauqua has been felt in community and, perhaps, there or lias been a greater need for a stimulant than at present. As in the past Chautauqua year will present a varied bill of faro for patrons.. There will be pure, sparkling, elevating drama, goms of1 music and notable lectures of great practical values. The ef­ fort distinctly is worth while and the local committee doubtless will receive widespread co-operation from the public.
