SEASON’S GREETINGS AND BEST WISHES FROM H. J. Cornish & Co Certified Public Accountants London, Ontario 'aFiiFsl 5 GIFT Huron County Crop Report By G. W. MONTGOMERY Thirty applications have gone in from the county for the Winter Short Courses at the O.A.C. An­ nual meetings and banquets of of farm organizations have been well attended. Christmas concerts and parties are now the order of the day in the rural communities, Christmas turkeys are in plentiful supply. A Blyth grower this week shipped 3,600 birds to Northern Ontario. Public School Students Hear Of Yule Customs The Rev. A. E. Holley told the pupils of Exeter Public School at their Christmas assembly on Fri­ day morning the different ways in which Christmas is celebrated across Canada. Ontario's favorite Christmas food is turkey, while in the Mari­ times, fish is used for the Christ­ mas meal. In the prairie pro­ vinces, the Ukrainians decorate their homes with sheaves of wheat. Christmas is a church celebra­ tion, Mr. Holley emphasized, and he urged the children to remem­ ber it is Jesus’ birthday we cele­ brate. We can give Him a birth­ day gift by remembering those who are less fortunate. Brenda Dinney introduced Rev. Holley and Linda Wells thanked him. Both are kindergarten pupils of Mrs. Howard Pym. Other mem­ bers of the class in the opening Judy Dyke, numbers on Braithwaite, and Douglas Dinney, who flag. The kindergarten class re­ cited a Christmas poem in chorus to open the program and Mrs. Pym led in carol singing accom­ panied by Miss Doris Robinson. Members of the school board who attended assembly were Claude Farrow, Wallace Seldon, and the two newly-elected mem­ bers, Robert Reilly and Warren May, who were introduced by Mr. Seldon. The principal, Mr, Arthur Idle, spoke to the pupils briefly on be­ ing safety conscious and avoid­ ing accidents during the holiday season. A lighted Christmas tree in the entrance, symbols of the season on the walls of the auditorium, gaily decorated class rooms and the eager, smiling faces of the pupils contributed to the Christ­ mas spirit which prevails in the school.
