Journey From Nazareth, Birth of Christ Child A LMOST two thousand years ago ** the great emperor, Caesar Angus tus, sent out a decree that the whole world should be enrolled. Each one was to go to his own city: to the place of his fathers. None were exempt from the decree. From the hill town of Nazareth two people set out in answer to the sum mons. One, a tall, bearded figure, his shoulders sagging under the weight <>f years, and from the continued stoop Ing that his trade as a carpenter n« cessitated. The other, a young ami beautiful woman, tier face aglow will- a strange, sweet serenity. Their immes> were Joseph and Mary, and going to the distant town hem. because they were of of David. The man walked patiently plodding donkey on which the woman was seated, They showed no inipa tlence as -others passed them by; nor did they join with any travelers in venting Caesar for taking them and tiresome journey. Perhaps because of Joseph’s age. or of Mary’s delicate condition, they were among and to seek a shelter at the inn. were them made night guests were crowding the doors. Disappointed and fearful, they sought further. But they could find no place. Some one spoke of a cave out side the town. Joseph looked at Mary and his eyes filled with tears. But she nodded assent . , .

Giuseppe’s Christmas Was a Grand Revelation CHRISTMAS was approaching and Giuseppe was lonesome. There were others in the school from foreign lands but no one spoke Giuseppe’s lan guage. Christmas had been so much fun In Italy. In the province where Giuseppe lived, a tree decked with oranges was the center of their Christmas festivi ties. All the relatives came to a big feast on Christmas day, and afterwards old and young danced around the or ange tree, and, of course, some folks had a miniature manger with St. Jo seph and other figures. “I don’t see how I am ever going to stand It.” Giuseppe told his mother. But she had smiled and said, “It will be all right, son. You’ll see." Then Christmas preparations began at school. There were carols to be sung—carols in five languages, and Giuseppe was to sing the carols of his country, all by himself. Giuseppe was very proud. There was a play with the manger and the wise men, shepherds, angels and Mary the Vir gin, and Joseph. Giuseppe could hard ly believe his earB when he found he was to be Jo.seph. And after the pro gram there was the tree. “It was grand, wasn’t it?" Giuseppe said to his mother and father as they walked home together, and mother and father agreed.—Florence Harris Wells.

Robinson, teacher Jeanette Kirby, hurriedly finished dressing and proceeded to tap .on the bathroom door and inform her hus band, Edwin Kirby, that if he didn’t hurry, they’d be late for the Christ mas party. Edwin- didn’t want go, she knew, but she had as he asquiesced. •On the other side of the rather in the other half house dear little Mrs. Whitley pa-ced the floor gowned in a quaint old dress of other days, and a modest little bonnet topped her silver locks. The Union Church had promised to call for her by motor to carry her to their annual holiday party and she was very happy as a result. Thus it was, when the clock struck eight, tears flooded the eyes of both women—one because she had been forgotten and the -other because her spouse wouldn’t hurry. Both iWomen had opened the front doors -of their apartments and had stepped out upon the porch. A beau tiful snow had begun to 'cover the ground and Jeanette knew Edwin hated tramping through a snow storm, while she, herself, loved it. »Mrs. Whitley concluded that the young folks .of Union church had de cided she shouldn’t venture out in- a snowstorm. Neither woman noticed the other until a low sob escaped the lips -of the elder one. It was but a few moments until the two women -had sobbed out their own selfish griefs and had decided to .have a Christmas party all their own. Edwin Kiriby joined heartily in their plans and made merous trips to the basemen-t canned fruit and -potatoes and to attic where he found the folded tent Christinas tree, some candles, some .red bells and roping an-d a huge sack of dry pop corn, What a party! The Kirby’s forgot their differences in making dear Mrs Whitley happy and, in turn, Mrs Whitley loved the company of young folks. "Never since pa died, have I had such a wonderful Christ inas party,” declared Mrs. Whitley, when she bade the happy child-like couple good morning at her door a number of hours afterward, "Some good must come out of every misunderstanding," thought both women as they closed theh’ eyes in sleep at the end of such- a happy Christmas eve.—(L.

Crude Toys for Children Simplefor crude toys like box blocks, nested cans, floor boats, stick horses, and sand, often give a child more chance to use his imagination than de more elaborate, complex, and expen sive toys. Roy Patterson, county announced t-hat lack of funds permitted very little work on -coun ty roads of a permanent nature in 1936 and had also caused restrictions in maintenance. One crusher had been in operation and five of the plants were idle. A bridge painting gang had been organized composed principally“ of machinery workers who -would otherwise be employed elsewhere or out of work, and eleven bridges -painted; many bridges are in need of painting. Ten miles of road were stablized this year, and treated with common salt which appears to have, a chem ical effect on the clay -which restricts volume change. A salt treated read dries very quickly after rain. So far as the use of salt and calci um chloride on gravel roads is con cerned, a big improvement is secur ed through their use, but the roads are still gravel .roads and have many of the deficiencies associated with them. Mr, Patterson believed that the use of salt, however, will be of much more general benefit on roads of lighter traffic and its use in that field greatly extended. About 20,000 in a nursery are Mr. Patterson Poles “Poles are a hazard and a contin ued nuisance on the road allowance, and the only fatal accident on roads this year resulted from a lision with a pole. The Public vice Works on Highways Act’ forth that road authorities shall pay at least one half of the cost of mov ing Hydro and Telephone poles when such is required by reason of work on the road. These ‘Corporations were allowed to use the highways for their pole lines without charge as a convenience to them. Why should rate-payers, who use no hydro or telephone, be required to help -pay tor moving hydro and telephone -poles? Hydro charges its users plenty to meet its legitimate costs; the shares of the Bell Telephone Co. are selling at $158.00, and if a local telephone company needs charity, municipal councils do not require such legislation to’meet the situation It would appear that council should take some action to have this act re moved from the Statutes, and such charges could be .placed against services to which they rightfully long. "I have been requested by County Treasurer for an estimate of our expenditure in 1937. At the end of 1920, when prices were at a peak and labor scarce, I advised that road work be curtailed until the prices were lower and labor more plentiful, which was done during the following years. In 19 32 I advised that, as there was much work needed -on the roads and many in the county were in need of the work and prices were low, money be borrowed, and a lar-ge amount of work done, but no action was taken. “There appears to be an idea pre valent that a debt on a municipality is a disgrace and that a municipality free from debt is one financing is perfect. I with any such idea, of any magnitude is without the necessity debt, and the advisability of making an investment is not dependent upon whether a debt is created or not, but upon the soundness of the in vestment. Had the Province of On tario in 1920 instituted an intelli gent maintenance program and pro ceeded slowly with construction work for a few years, we would have had better service from the roads; a better system of pavements and many millions of dollars ahead the position today. Spending Less "The County of Huron has pended less per mile upon its roads than any other County in the Prov ince, and -while the condition of our roads has been equal to that of any other County, we are falling behind in the mattej* of permanent im provements, and there is a lot of work needed on our roads. At pre sent money may be secured at a low rate of interest, but commodity [prices are rising and in a few years costs of making road improvements will be greatly increased, and the people of the county will be little interested in the work as there will be much activity in other lines. It is not yet too- late to take ad vantage of low interest rates. I am still of the opinion County should borrow a able sum of money,—say —for road purposes. This, subsidy, would place an all-year sur face on a considerable mileage of our country roads; rebuild several W our old bridges that are falling ®wn-; and pay for other improve ments that have been postponed dfoni year to .year. w It was moved by Reeves Grain and Bryans, that since Hydro has free permission to- place poles along roadways, that the municipalities should not be required to pay half the costs when, poles have to be moved; that the Ontario govern- most nu- for the pa- Everyone knows about diseases that at one time caused great loss of life and that have been brought under control in the last thirty or forty years as a result of modern public health methods. Ty phoid fever is one illustration. Twenty- five or thirty years ago, it was not uncommon for cities to havo death rates from typhoid ranging as high as 60 or 75 < deaths out of every 100,000 living persons; to-day, it is almost a disgrace for a city to have a doath rate of more than one or two per 100.000, and in many cities rates for typhoid for the last year were less than one. Yellow fever is another plague of a. generation or two ago when whole cities were quarantined becauso of it.Diphtheria, the killer of children a few years ago, is to-day becoming a rare chseaso.
