'CHRISTMAS TREE FUND Once again December has arrived and in a very short time Christmas Will have became a memory. Each year at this season the Chamber of Commerce sponsors an activity that has always received the hearty co­ operation of the citizens of the town, the Christmas Tree and Santa Claus Fund. Again this year the public will be given an opportunity to subscribe to this fund, It is the spirit of Christmas that counts and this gives all a chance to' help along this spirit. The fund is kept in a separate account at the bank and is used to supply baskets where necessary and also to make the kid­ dies happy, each one of them being presented with a bag of goodies, -The free concert held in connection with this activity is a delight to the child­ ren, also the grown-ups/ It is at this concert that the goodies are distribut­ ed, The subscription list is open at both banks, call in as soon as possible and make your subscription. * * * * CIVIL MARRIAGES A movement is on foot to institute civil marriages in Ontario. A section of the Presbyterian Church, has ’en­ dorsed such a move, so has the Bap­ tist Church. We understand that a great many of the United Church min­ isters are in favor of this being done, but Hon, Harry Nixon, Ontario pro- 'vincial secretary, says that the pres­ ent Government will not authorize any such change in the Ontario Mar­ riage Act. The resolution of the Tor­ onto Presbyterian Church stressed the problem faced by ministers of giving church sanction to the marriage of di­ vorced persons and others antagonis­ tic in attitude and beliefs to the Chris- tion church. It does seem that there should be some other way of people getting married in such cases as noted above but again there are dangers in the chaning of a marriage act that up un­ til recently has operated apparently well. A careful study of the matter should be given so that the ministers will not be responsible for marrying peolpe that they feel they should not marry, but at the same time, if -in the eyes of the law, these people may marry, arrangements should be made for such cases. * * * * A WORTHWHILE SHOWING At the recent Chicago Agricultural Exposition the entries from Canada made a very excellent showing. In al­ most every class the Canadian entries were in the prize list and in many cas­ es topped the others. It is noted also that in many cases where the Canad­ ians won it was the ordinary farmer who took the prizes. This is as it should be and those who exhibited from this section of Ontario did well. We are an agricultural country and it should be with pride we note that our agriculturists are upholding their re­ putations of producing superior goods. « __ _________ TESTED RECIPES /• ~—”\ A ‘d^is Suqeaq ' SJIOIr >°lwfW » f w •• W sdpq siqj, ‘Sui r. -qjvaiq qrnoiu dois or spuaj ‘saSus “ -sed jjb smpp ‘uopmp-q saAaqaj ‘iu3a[qd suasooi uopov JodeA-puu -aaiqnod yiA\s s.qnyode^ -aoni -paq ip quyodeX sijefA J° Xiuafa miA\ jsaip pup jEoiqj siq Suiqqni Xq pmuoAaid aq uayo ueo—ppo v m ‘Suiipuaiq qmoiu ‘uopmp jo «opp!3„ 4?ojqi Xq pasneo —jqgiu m SuiqSnoa s(pjnp mo^ aiiNiAnid 3S N3U0 NV3 9NIH9m, 11H9IN>U weather is essential in developing the finest flavor in turkey meat.

CAMABIAN pacific I .'■WXESb£p.T'id The last day before Christmas va­ cation. Miss Tudor, teacher of the sixth grade, said to her pupils: “As you. know, we are about to have a happy vacation, a time of joy and good cheer, Now I want you all to have the happiest time it is poss­ ible to have, and it would give me much pleasure to know just how much pleasure each of you gets out of Christmas. Suppose you all keep a record of the way you spend Christ­ mas day, and when school reopens* tell me about it, To the one whom I think had the best time I will give a little present,1 “Oh, what will it be?” cried several of the children, excitedly. “.I shall not tell you now, but it will be something the winner will like, whether boy or girl.” When school had dismissed and the pupils had wished Miss Tudor a Mer­ ry Christmas and had received similar wishes in return, there was much dis­ cussion among them as to the nature of the prize, as to who would win and as to various plans for spending the glorious day. Said Frank Bates: “I sure am going to win that prize, for I always have a wagon load of fun on Christmas.” “You can’t .win it, Frank,” said Walter Grimes, “cause I’m going to.” “You’re both wrong,” spoke up Jen­ nie Morse. “I’m sure I’ll win, for my uncle is coming to visit us and we’re going to have turkey for dinner and I’m going to get lots of presents.” i The discussion was still in progress while Ann Peterson gathered up her books and walked home, thinking of the prize and who would get the most pleasure. Ann woke up early Christmas morning. She had admired the tree/ She had emptied her stocking, exam­ ined her presents and read the first chapter in her new story book when she happened to think of the prize to be given by Miss Tudor. She reflect­ ed that she was certainly having pleasure but that others probably were having pleasure, too, maybe more, and that she really couldn't hope to win the prize. Presently she had an idea. — “Grandmother,” she asked, “what’s the best way to have fun at Christ­ mas ?” “Well, dear,” replied Grandmother, “there are many ways. Why Ho you ask?” Ann told her of Miss' Tudor’s offer. “I see,” said Grandmother. “Did you ever think of giving Christmas roses?” “Christmas roses?” asked Ann, in surprise. “Yes.” “Why, I didn’t think there'were any roses at Christmas time, except in hot-houses, and they are so expens­ ive.” “I don’t mean real roses;,”'- said Grandmother. "I will tell you my plain if you wish.” “Do, please do, Grandmother.” “Suppose we put a pot of coffee on the stove. The milkman is due in about fifteen minutes. I’m sure, lin’d, like a steaming cUp of coffee.” "Oh—I see what you mean,” said; Ann. “I believe you got an orange.' in your stocking.” ; “Yes” > “How would it do to give it to* the paper boy when he comes, that iS> un­ less you want the orange very badly.” “Oh, goody, goody!” Andi Attn clapped her hands in approval ©f her Grandmother’s scheme. Between the two a huge bunch of such Christmas “roses” was planned and Amt set about with the greatest enthusiasm to prepare them for giv­ ing. It took some time aftd trouble to get them ready, but Ann was* so excited with the novelty of the idea that she didn’t mind in the least the inconvenience and the sacrifices she made in gathering together “roses”. The milkman got his coffee, right, and the paper boy got his ange; and the way their faces lit up with gratitude produced a strange feeling within Ann that made grow happier with each “rose” gave away. Her mother had been over to neighbor’s. Upon her return Ann had a eup of tea and a piece of buttered toast for her. * s •<F •1 / c SERE'S HOW THEY VOTED IN PRIVATE POEEj :l“"l "" QVEST1ONNAIRE I Comparing ««» n.ewdoline |l io’the premium-priced gasolin 4 you have been using: In knoddess performance A, good?

SMITH BLUEVALE, ONT. /. When the postman came, for there was a morning delivery of mail, he re­ ceived a-* cup of coffee. He said it made him warm clear to- his toes and that he could deliver mail all day long, if necessary. After dinner a tramp knocked at the door and* again it gave Ann pleasure to give him. a nice lunch. It seemed to Ann as. if. there was something special making opportun­ ities for her to give away her “roses”; or perhaps it was because* she hacWt noticed the opportunities before. She fixed up a little* bag of .rmts> fruit and candy for the- errand boys .from the stores, to give them the next At last the day came to go back to school. The morning passed slowly for the children were anxious to know who won the prize offered by Miss Tudor; An hour or so before closing time Miss Tudor had each pupil tell about the good times they had had on Christmas Day. ; Jennie Morse told about the pres­ ents and. the fun she had while I$er uncle was visiting her. Walter Gritties told about going skating. Frank Bates, about the new bicycle he -re­ ceived ahd each pupil had something to tell concerning- the pleasure they had on the happiest of occasions. When Ann’s name was called, she read from a slip of paper: “1 gave away a bunch ,of Christmas ‘roses.’ Here is my itemized account: To the milkman, one cup of hot cof­ fee; to the paper boy, one orange; to mother, one cup. of tea and toast; to •the postman, one cup of coffee; to a tramp, one lunch. Two bags of candy, nuts and fruits for the delivery boys from the grocery which I gave away the next day. Each ‘rose’ I gave away made me feel happier than the one before. So I, call this the happiest Christmas Day I ever speht.” When she down there was a buzz of whispered comment and some gigg­ ling. After the remaining pupils had told about their Christmas pleasure. Miss Tudor pulled a long, mysterious box from her desk and said: “I am sure you all had a happy Christmas and you told about it welt But I have no doubt as to the pupil who had the happiest Christmas of all. Ann Peterson will come forward and receive the prize.” It may have been because the box was large and contained a good deal of candy; or it may have been that Ann didn’t know Christmas was over, but at any rate, she- gave away right then and there more candy than she ate herself.
