Keep Christmas Speaker Urges Mrs. H. J. Snell, guest speaker at the Hoine and -School Associa­ tion meeting Tuesday night, took as her theme, “Keeping Christ­ mas". Few changes have been made in our preparation for Christmas; we still carry out the traditions of our forefathers. Many of these came to us from Other countries — the traditional Christmas tree from Germany, the Yule log from France, while many of our carols originated in England. Mrs, Snell asked the question: "Will we emerge from the Christ­ mas season exhausted or uplifted with the miracle of it still in our hearts?" “If we prepare ourselves for Christmas, keeping uppermost in our minds, the occasion it com­ memorates, we will emerge from it agreeing with Dickens, that ‘Christmas is a miracle to be kept in the heart forever.'" Mrs. Snell concluded her talk with a story, "The Clean Hay," in which a Polish family discovered the true meaning of Christmas lies in giving rather than receiving. Rev. A. E. Holley, conducted the opening worship period, read­ ing the Christmas story from the Bible. Guitar duets were played by Doug Jermyn and Jim Tomlinson and a guitar solo by Jim Scott. Mr, Douglas Insley played a med­ ley of carols on the auto harp. A boys’ barbershop quartette, Bob McKerral, Jim Russell, Paul Wilson and Bob Skinner, sang Christmas numbers directed by Miss Kay McGill. Mrs. L. Porter­ field led grade 1 and 2 pupils in a group of songs with Mrs. W. Mickle accompanying at the piano. Miss D. Robinson's Mrs. H. Pym’s and Mrs. W. Mickle's rooms were tied in the number of parents present for the meeting. Miss Robinson won the tie-break­ ing contest and was awarded a cash prize to be used to purchase a book for her grade. Mrs. John Schroeder presided for the meeting which brought out many parents and friends of public school pupils. Behind Times! Let's stop for a minute to catch our breath before it’s Christmas day. Let’s at least take a peek out from our own commercial Iron Curtain, brpsh aside the dema­ gogue that would dictate the rate at which we must move and think. Let’s try analysis against the occasion towards which we rush, look for a source. There was such humble simplicity surround­ ing its beginning. Are we ?really celebrating the event of 1953 years ago? Perhaps its an assumption that we are. Perhaps the world is far ahead of such an idea and “all that" is just past business. It would be nice to find that, with the world, it really wasn’t so.* * * * In A "Meas’* It seems every parent may look forward with certainty to measles and now is measle time in Exeter. One mother remarked recently, “Well, don’t count Qn me for that day, the first measles are here and I expect to be at home with the second ones by then."* * * * Age TellsAgain and again we hear about the gross misconduct of this gen­ eration of children as compared to the last and the one before He’s creeping. For one thing, it means that the exponents of such theories are later than they think. It gets harder and harder as they grow older to remember when they were children and the many things they did to gain disfavor in the eyes of the elders at that time.* * * * This Is Life I Finds some dust “Where no dust was", A crumb or two He eats, because He’s creeping. Pulls the lamp cords, Black cat’s tail; Morning snack— The Globe and Mail, He’s creeping. Bars behind him He’s scot-free. The world’s his playpen, ’Cause you see He’s creeping!
