The increase, according to W.

trend towards tilling over
greater distances, At one time,
the long distance ,call-was scars
cely contemplated other than in
emergencies or big business. But
recent improvements in tele-
phoning facilities and — per-
haps more important — the
actual experience of speaking
to friends and reiptives)buodreclo
and emit thousands of miles a-
way, have 'made long 'distance
calling more and more ,a fam-
iliar activity. •
Statiola-tc-atatiaa callis, ac-
cording to Miss MeQueen are-
your best bet on Christmas Day,
and in both stationto-station
and person-to-person calling,
knowing the number is of great
assistance, "In calling by num-
ber," she says, "you eliminate
the time required to 'contact
formation lit the city or comm-
unity you are calling, and un-
necessary delays are avoided."
Miss McQueen also advises
Christmas callers to call again
therriselves an the first at-
tempt circuits are busy or the
call is not answered, rather than'
ask the operator to check at
intervals.
And what about the operat-
ors? For about 18 of them here,
Christmas! Day will lie not only
merriest but the busiest day of
the' year.

Why PIP"- on Santa?
One hazard a columnist has
to cope with often is the temp-.
tation to become nostalgic, At ,
this One of year I relneMber,
how rafted my feathers be-
came when a prominent Cana-
dian came out with his famous
pronouncement that children
should be told. there really isn't
any Santa Claus,
I would not, if I could,
change for sterile realism, the
years of my childhood when
Christmas had a magic promise,
a fairy-like aura 'nothing since
has ever equalled in complete
emotional satisfaction.
When my youngsters came
along they were subjected to
the same make-believe treat-
ment. They survived, seem
perfectly well-adjusted grown
men in spite of the fact they
gave each other knowing looks
when we, their parents, asked
them what they wanted Santa
to bring them for Christmas..
They didn't want us is‘ know
they had been "enlightened";
it might spoil our fun and cut
down considerably on their
prospects for loot.
I cannot remember any
spasms of grief ,of Shock at
the eventual realization my
own toys were not brought
down the chimney by a fat
little man in a red suit. As
for my sons, I remember the
youngest one remarking one
Christmas eve when he was
about seven, "I guess we don't
need to Put a lunch on the
mantle for Santa this year",
and that was that.
I have been wondering?, as
the season again gets into full
swing if those who deplore the
commercialism of Christmas
realize what :t safety valve the
custom of gift giving is hi tim-
es of tension and political mis-
trust, It is the holiday spirit
that often means local shops
end their year in the black in-
stead of red. It warms the
heart of Scrooges in our so-
ciety and is after the means
of reuniting 'those who have
experienced a rift in their
family relationships. The rush
and spending for weeks before
the big day provides jobs for
the seasonally unemployed and
stimulates• the ability of those
entrusted with creating new
ideas.
A Sure Thins
Every year we wonder how
any one can come up with
something new. Last year for
the first time the CN offered
its SANTAGRAM service.
Thousands of youngsters (con-
ditioned to this modern age al-
most as soon as they can talk)
composed their lists of requests
to Santa on these special forms.
In their childish wisdom they
had the assurance there is no
fooling with a telegram. No
one could get away with the
excuse their letter might have
been lost in the mail.
The age-old reasoning „par-
'
Kits have been using for gen-
erations still works, When
children count their gifts before
dawn op Christmas day, sleepy
papas and mammas can still
say, "Santa has all the good
little boys and girls in the
world to remember and there
is only so much room in his
sleigh." '
Thousands more kiddies will
again this year lick their stub-
by pencils and laboriously print
in big letters on a Santagram
form a message to Santa some-
thing like this one phonetically
written in 1961. by a six-year-
old boy:
"Plez sent by rudolf one bi-
sickle to me also a wetums dol
for my sister who does to any
Mother sez we are good kids
love Johnny."

Face it,some things have to be imported!
But would a buffalo do as well? The trouble is that we Canadians import
too much for our own good. We are, in fact, the world's greatest importers of
manufactured goods.
Look at these figures which show the average yearly expenditure on imported
manufactured goods for the people of four nations:
Canadians— $235 per person, Americans— $35 per person. British —$75 Per
person. West Germans—$60 per person.
If each of us reduced our import buying by just $100 and diverted that
money to the purchase of Canadian products, the province of Ontario would
gain 600,000,000 vital dollars which would help provide 60,000 new jobs !
Every consumer should satisfy himself that there iS no Canadian equivalent
before he reaches out his hand for an imported product. By becoming "label
conscious,'' he will probablyfincl that often habit hat led him to the imported
product. The Canadian product, alongside, May be just as good. Buy that, and
help create the 60,000 jobs that Ontario neet16 for the prosperity of all its people.
