Just in time for the Christ­ mas season is the beloved story of the birth of Christ told simp­ ly and reverently by Norman Vincent Peale for children and all who have kept a youthful heart in a book entitled The Coming of the King Inspired by a visit to the land where Jesus lived and taught almost 2,oqo years ago, Dr. Peale has captured tile wonder and drama of the event so great that it began a new era and changed the entire coure of human his­ tory. The pilgrimage of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem, the scene in the stable on the night when Christ was born, the rapture of the shepherds as the news of the Saviour’s arrival is revealed to them, the coming of the wise meh to worship at the manger- all are portrayed, Norman Vincent Peale, pastor of New York’s famous Marble Collegiate Church, is known tq millions through his best selling books, his radio and television programs, his printed sermons and his newspaper and maga­ zine articles. Dr. Peale is the father of three children, t two girls and a- boy, Contributing much to the book are the illustrations by William Moyers who is the distinguished illustrator of. more than 40 books for children and young people. Memory's Wall Memory’s Wall is the autobi­ ography of Flora McCrea Eaton illustrated with 16 pages of photo­ graphs. Toronto was still a small town and the Eaton organization a local store when Flora McCrea from the village of Omemee in Ontario first met young John Craig Eaton. Flora McCrea had come to Toronto to learn to be a nurse. Her marriage to John Eaton changed that plan and when her husband became presi­ dent of The T. Eaton Company she was brought into close as­ sociation with an organization that was soon to become national in its scope. In her autobiography Lady Eaton has much to say of the Company of which she was for years an active director. Tim­ othy Eaton, the founder’ of the business, was at one time store­ keeper at Kirkton and later es­ tablished the mail order busi­ ness that made Eaton’s cata­ logue the most widely -read vol­ ume in the, isolated homesteads of a country whose sparse set­ tlements were rapidly being filled in the boom years before 1914. She accompanied her husband to the West to inspect possible sites for an Eaton’s store in Win­ nipeg some fifty years ago. She has recorded the growth of the country as she saw it at first hand in many journeys across it from coast to coast. Memory’s Wall is an intensely human document.

Mrs, William Edmonds o f Flint, Mich., whom many of ns remember as Verda Rowcliffe, sent us. a Christmas cake recipe which originated in Mexico. The fruit and nuts are left in rather large pieces which gives the cake a beautiful appearance, al­ most like a stained glass win­ dow, Verda says. She recalls how she loved to go calling with her mother at Christmas time when she was a little girl for she liked sampling all the good fruit cake which was served, * Fruit Cake (Mrs. W.

Watch Tree For Hazards The gaily decorated Christmas tree — traditional symbol of happiness in many parts .of the world —■ can cause tragic death and injury unless careful precau­ tions are made, warns the All Canada Insurance Federation. Officials of the federation, which represents more than 200 fire, automobile and casualty insurance companies in Canada, said’ Christmas trees and decora­ tions were potential fire hazards and should be chosen with extreme caution. Children’s toys, too, should be chosen with care. Chemistry sets, firearms and toys requiring kero­ sene and other inflammable liquids should not be given to young .children. In addition, the use of such toys should be supervised by adults. To help minimize the danger of fire and accidents during the holiday season, safety experts recommended the following pre­ cautions: 1. Choose a small tree rather than a large one. 2. Keep Christmas trees and boughs outside as long as pos­ sible; remove them from the house as soon as needles begin to fall. 3. Never place trees oy other decorations in front of doorways, staircases or near fireplaces, 4. Whenever possible, use a pot of water as foundation for tree. " 0 5. Christmas presents should not be placed under trees until Christmas Eve; elaborate wrap- pings should be removed and dis­ posed of as soon as possible. 6. Never use candles as tree decorations. 7. Keep burning cigarettes, cigars and portable heaters away frbrii trees. 8. Re-arrange electric tree lights when they start to dry but the tree needles, 9. Check to see that electrical decorations. do not overload circuits. * 10. Decorative lights should be turhed off when house is un­ occupied, 11. Keep children away from open fireplaces and stoves, 12.
