” How can one get the Christmas
spirit when the air is soft and

the first snowdrops instead of

by legitimate callers either. Fast-

| they are very effective. The shops
have such intriguing decorations
, . . . the little churches, and
Santa and his reindeer, the
Christmas angels. You. could
spend a mint of money on de
corations alone. t
We deplore the fact that Christ

Our minister’s wife was speaking
of it in a group of women the
other day.' She was completely
horrified at. her small daughter’s
attitude to Christmas . ... she
had written to Santa a list of her

Will Johnson Be Baek?
Although Tom Sims claims to ■]
know nothing of it, the Meaford'
Express-reports-thattheKnightsS
are quietly discussing the ques-
tion whether or not to trim their
financial sails next season. That'-
trimming chiefly centres around
Russ Johnson who cost the Mea-
$2000 this past season. The
Knights, twice-crownedz fastball"
champions, were in the red this
set the pattern for our children’s
outlook, .unless we could keep
them isolated- from other child
ren, scrap our radios . . /. and
all their friend’s radios, rather
a large order-. The huge .Santa
parades, the Santas in the shops,
and the promises he makes on
the radio. .. He is not. the same

, Nostalgia 'again,. I suppose, (a
sure sign of approaching age) for
thd simple by-gone Christmases,

ourselves, and the star or the
angel that.hung from the top of
the tree for years and years.
I still contend it is fun to make
some decorations yourself, Last
year we had a “bee” and had
loads of fun, gathered in friend
