Frank Falconer 11%ads Shorthorn club
BY WILMA OKE
Frank Falconer, R R 5, Clinton, was
elected president of the Huron-Perth
Shorthorn club at the annual meeting and
beef banquet held in the lEgmondville United
Church, Thursday evening,
Other officers are: past president, James
Smith, Brussels; vice-presidents are Elvey
Brodhagen, R R 1, Brunner; and Ross
Procter, R. R 5, Brussels; secretary-treasurer,
Gerald Smith,R R 2, Brussels.
Mr, FalcOner was named provincial
director.
Bert Pepper, Neustadt, a Canadian
Director of the Shorthorn Association of
Canada spoke to the 100 guests on "What is
the Future of Shorthorns'?"
Expressing pleasure at seeing the 4-H
members of the Beef calf clubs with
shorthorns at the meeting Mr. Pepper said:
"The future must belong to the young and
our Shorthorn breeders must have the
participation and interest of the 4-H
members and young breeders." He suggested
that each Shorthorn Club should have two
or three junior directors, with voting rights.
Mr, Pepper urged the clubs to have more
meetings, every two or three months, so that
new ideas can be discussed and tried,
Speaking of Shorthorns, he said there is a
good chance that the grading system is going
to be changed in the near future so that the
farmer will be paid for the number of
pounds of lean meat on the carcass, in other
words, cutability. Mr. Pepper said he was
convinced that growthier, larger framed
cattle must be produced, that weight and fat
are deceiving but body frame measurements
could be used- to more advantage to improve
the breed, The record of performance is the
greatest yardstick but Mr, Pepper said he
would rather use the yardstick itself in
buying breeding cattle,
Mr. Pepper believes the show ring is one
of the quickest ways to have people change
their thinking in regards to type and
conditioning of breeding cattle. He said
through bone structure the added size can be
gained,
In his concluding remarks Mr. Pepper said
he believes the Canadian Association should
,accept and recognize Shorthorns from all.
Shorthorn herd Books, He said that the
young Shorthorn breeders in Canada should
have the opportunity of using Shorthorn
bloodlines from anywhere in the world.
William Elliott, Guelph,
secretary-treasurer of the Ontario Shorthorn
Club, spoke as well.
Entertainment was provided by George
Procter, R R 5, Brussels; dressed in his kilt,
sang several Scottish songs accompanied by
his wife; George Coultes, Belgrave, gave
three humorous readings; and Senkia
Yamasak from Syowa, Japan, an agricultural
trainee in Canada for one year, sang in
Japanese, accompanying himself on the
guitar.

A magical season full of
dreams come true ... that's what
Christmas is. We wish you much joy.
Piiiata Fun
Gets Break
A joyous Christmas
mas tradition for Mex- •
ican boys and girls is
the breaking of the
piñata, a decorated
earthen jar.
Soinetimes, the piñ-
ata may be a caricature
of people or animals.
The piñata is sus-
pended by a rope that
can raise or lower it.
Each child is blind-
folded and usually giv-
en three chances to
poke at the piñata with
a stick. 0
When it's broken,
the piñata releases a
bounty of delicious
fruits, sweets, nuts and
toys.
The children scrab-
ble to claim as many
goodies as possible.
Wreaths Got
Pagan Start
During this holiday season,
a wide variety of colorful
wreaths deck the doorways
of homes in this community.
The' use of wreaths at holi-
day time stems from the cus-
toms of Advent season — the
four Sundays before Christ-
mas. Traditionally, Advent
wreaths are made of ever-
greens, trimmed with rib-
bons, and hold four candles
to be lit during the Sundays
of Advent.
The wreath, which has no
beginning or end, represents
eternity, and the evergreens
symbolize growth and life,
according to the editors of
the New Book of Knowledge.
Like many other Christian
holiday customs, the Advent
Witath originated in pagan
rpreiliOniPS.
During the dark days of
the winter solstice, the sun-
worshippers of northern Bu-
rope sought to please their
absent god, the sun, and per-
suade him to return, by using
a wheel trimmed with green-
ery,
The Wreath Was made of
an actual wheel, taken from
a cart and wrapped in greens,
Lights, too, Were added.

The oldest of these church
buildings is Westminster Ab-
bey, a national shrine and
the Mother Church of the
Commonwealth of Great
Britain.
In 1966 the Abbey cele-
brated its 900th anniversary,
and thousands of people from
all over the world visited the
church where both common-
ers and royalty have wor-
shipped for centuries.
In commemoration of the
event, Westminster under-
went a 10-year program of
cleaning and repairs that
cost 51,120,000.
It was on Christmas day
that William the Conqueror
was crowned at Westminster,
and buried there are Newton,
Darwin, Keats, Tennyson,
Browning, and royal person-
ages such as Queen Elizabeth
I and her rival for the throne,
Mary Queen of Scots, Rich-
ard II, Henry VII and St.
Edward, whose shrine is the
most, sacred spot in the
Abbey.
In September 1965, a tablet
was added in memory of
Winston Churchill,

As jubilant bells ring out
the good news of Christmas,
churches of this community
stand as symbols of the true
spirit of the season.
Landmarks in the history of
Christendom, these churches
are the living center of cur-
rent activities, especially at
Christmas, when choral pro-
grams, pageants and other
special services express holi-
day joy.
Across the country, and in
other lands, soaring steeples
and ringing bells beckon wor-
shipers to "Come to Church
on Christmas."
Small wonder, then, that
churches are a favorite sub-
ject for Christmas greeting
cards, This year, the 95th an-
niversary of Christmas cards
in the United States, is no
exception.
A look into the past shows
three well-known churches
which were favorite Christ-
mas card features. The Little
Church around the Corner
and Trinity Church, both in
New York City, and West-
minster Abbey in London are
pictured on cards dated
around 1925 and now in the
Norcross historical collection.
