TWO SIDES TO THE QUESTION
Since the celebrated crack about the town dump
made, a number of people have rushed to the dolence
the present system of garbage disposal, and at the council
meeting last week it was unanimously decided to continue
the use' of the dump during the winter months. In fair
ness to all it might be a good idea to state both sides of
the story.
Th\' anti dumpers claim that the place is an eyesore,
that the stench of burning garbage pervades the whole
south end of town, that the place attracts rats from a wide
area and (hat it is general!) unhealthx to have a dumping
ground so clo^i' to town.
Tlu' dumpers don’t say much about all that. They
do say, howexer, that it would cost the town extra
to haul garbage out to the' regular town dump during the
winter, that tin' dump has not been condemned by the
officer of health, and that what is now valueless land wall
be made valuable some dav by dumping town garbage
in that place.
Both sides have an argument, apparently, and you
can take \our choice,

SUSPENSE THRILLER
The term, “suspense thriller” could
well be used to describe the story of
the recent translating of the Bible
into the Hankul script for Korea.
About the turn of the century a
missionary had literally worn out his
eyes putting the Bible into the Kor
ean script. Few people could read
this, however. As the new, simpler
script was developed and novels and
newspapers were printed in it, the
decision was made to print the Bible
in it also, •
After years of painstaking effort the
manuscript was completed and the
first 400 pages were set up in the
press in the Bible House at Seoul.
Then war broke out. The Bible House
was bombed and almost everything
destroyed.
The remainder of the precious hand
written manuscript, however, was (
smuggled out by the wife of Rev.
Young- Bin Un, the master-mind be
hind this translation. She hid it in
a pickle jar in, • the cellar of their
home and hid her husband in a wood
pile.
i s I
As expeeted, the Communists
searched the place but miracuously
missed the manuscript and the man.
Knowing they would return again
she smuggled it away over miles of
guerrilla infested fields to a farm
owned by a friend,

Louis Kraemer, North Kinloss, had
the misfortune to have his fine barn
burned on Thursday last. The blaze
was started by cattle upsetting the
lantern while the evening chores were
being done. Fortunately all the live
stock was saved by the help of neigh
bors who rushed to Mr. Kraemer’s
assistance.
Rain and light snow over the Week
end did much to take away the deep
snow and at the same time replenish

the process, especially when it concerns the comparatively
harmless animals of this country.
In Darkest Africa, where to a certain extent you can
pit your life against the animal, we would imagine it takes
a fair amount of courage to face up to a charging tiger
or rhinoceros. That can hardly apply however, to the
shooting of an inoffensive deer, no larger than a good-1
sized calf.

LIVELIER POLITICS
ccruinh has been the wood of Canadian
polices for sente >ears?‘ says Bruce Hutchison in The
Financial Ve.s:. bu: he predicts a change coming soon.
'^Throughout the whole farm community the yawns
have changed to articulate sounds of anger. Businessmen
■are talking earnestly again about the tariff. The Federal
and Provincial Governments are arguing about taxes. Mr.
Gardiner has made a piquant contribution to the current
menu by selling butter cheap la the Communists, at the
taxpax’cris expense, while selling it dear to the same tax
payer whose menu is usually confined to margarine?'
Just sixty years later a Danish
postal clerk, who matched Dickens in
his belief about what the Christmas
spirit could do, conceived a plan for
patting the generosity and mercy
which blesses this season to work.
He thought of the Christmas Seal
Sale. Dickens had called on fantasy.
Bihar Holboell put his faith in the
matter-of-fact forces of kindly com
mon sense, and it turned out that
such forces were equal to a world
wide, sustained, therapeutic effort, a
war on tuberculosis. In the years be
tween on every continent and in more
than throe score countries the Christ
mas Seal 'Sale has furnished a muster

men and women who. though not

There Was No Room
In the Inn . . .
"T am sorry, Mary. They tell
they have no room?’
And so it was that Joseph,
humble Galilean, carpenter and
queenly young wife Mary, took
fuge fft a stable near the edge of
town. Fbr them, there had been no
room.
The population of Bethlehem was
more than double, the descendants of
David having come to register as
ordered by Herod. The journey had
been a particularly tiresome one for
Mars’*. The quietness of the stable and
the small amount of warmth it pro
vided was indeed welcomed by both
she and Joseph.
Near the hour of midnight, the
darkened sky came to life with a
light of others! beauty and above the
stable a bright new star shone with
the brilliance of a million candles.
In the distance angels were heard in
a great psalm;
“Glory in the highest,
And on, earth, peace to men of
good will.” -
The quietness of the stable gives
way to the sounds of camels and
voices of mon, and there appears a
group of Magi, wise men of Persia.
They have followed the brightness of
i the star in search of a new-born king.
They bring gifts of precious gold.
There in the stable, wrapped in
swaddling clothes, a manger for his
throne, they find the Christ Child.
