Culbert. He was assisted by Wendy Cronkite and Bert Walker who read the les- sons. The following children pre- sented the well filled baskets of white gifts, David Carpenter, Sandra McLellan, Kenneth Latta and Wendy Bowerman. The ju- nior choir led in the music and sang two anthems. The pastor, the Rev. G. W. Sach gave the address. The White Gifts will be sent to Indian friends on the Sau- geen Reserve near Southamp- ton, where the need is great. All envelope offering will again go to the Missionary and Main- tenance (Disaster and Refugee Fund). Two things combined to arouse me this week to one of my sporadic defences of Can- ada. One was the fact that I have been teaching an essay by Bruce Hutchison called. The Canadian Personality. It's a good essay, one which makes the kids study- ing it think about themselves and their country. The other is that my kid brother arrived home the other day after four years in Europe. He's a good kid, but his mis- conceptions about this country are deplorable. Hutchison, in his essay, sug- gests some of the characterist- ics common to Canadians. They are poetic, but pure poppycock. He speaks first of the "most obvious", our "national humil- ity." This is most obviously a figment of the author's imagina- tion. While most Canadians will grudgingly admit that there's an occasional Limey or Yank who is not devoid of common sense, you'd have a formidable job on your hands to find half Friends shower. bride with gifts Miss Rose Marie Revington of London, (formerly of Lucan) whose marriage is scheduled for Saturday, Dec, 12, was ho- nored with a number of pre- nuptial showers and dinner par- ties. Shower hostesses included, Miss Barbara Marshall and Mrs. Murray Maguire, London, Mrs. Sheridan Revington and Miss Marlene Revington, Lu-. can, Mrs. Harold Hodgins, Mrs. Don Ankers and Mrs. Jack Gil- mour, Lucan, Mrs. Frank Ulas- schaert, Blenheim, Mrs. Wes- ley Revington, Mrs. Dick Wise, London. Dinner party hostesses were Mrs. Fred Revington, Lucan, Mrs. Vern Evans Brantford and Mrs. John Kriter, Hamilton. our spirit." Awed be hanged, I. Went out Sunday Morning', It had spewed. My picnic table lopked like a pregnant hippp, PPtanailS; lying on her back. 1 tuck a yardstick clown, Twepty- OM inches, overnight, But I wasn't awed. I swore tor ten minutes, and started shovelling, The kid brother was just as wrong-headed about Canada as Hutchison. Vexpected some lu- cid comments on the Canadian Scene, for someone who had been exposed to European eel- ture for four years, the last two in Paris. Do you know what he com- plained of? The fact that Baro, peans, who don't have any snow, to speak of, have no cuffs on their trousers, while Canadi- ans, who wade through the stuff for five months, have cuffs. He doesn't realize that we like it net way, that we like to walk into somebody's house, stamp our boots off in their hallway, and turn about four pounds of snow out of our cuffs onto their fresh-waxed hard- wood floors. Keeps them from getting house-proud. Do you know what he talked about? Not the impressive view from the Eiffel Tower, but the annual number of suicides who had leaped from it. Not the glories of the Louvre, but the horrors of Paris traffic. He spoke with rapture about his meals in Paris, with scorn about Canadian cooking. And left never a morsel of the latter, even though there wasn't a single snail or single songbird among it, on his plate. He scoffed at Canadiaes' en- grossment with money and. sta- a dozen Canadians who felt: humble in the presence of either. Next, he says we are, "A' conservative and steady peo- ple." Oh, yes. Yes, incleedy. We are the conservative and steady people who have an elec- tion every couple of years, who swing wildly from one political party to another, who riot over a hockey game, who have fami- lies coming to blows over aflag design, who blow up mailboxes. And, he says, our politicians reflect us in ..."their positive terror of color and flair," I guess he's right. John Diefen- baker, a politician to whom we gave the greatest majority in our history, whom we elected twice as Prime Minister, has no more color than a purple dragon breathing crimson flames. "And we are a lonely people", says Hutchison. Well, speak for yourself, old boy. Personally, I'd prefer to be about three times as lonely as I am. You should try, sometime, getting into the bathroom at our place. He says we are, "awed . . . by the fierce northern climate, which colors and toughens . . . mail early for Christmas the last date for local delivery is Clandeboye groups help many causes LOB EUCHRE The LOB held the first euchre of the season in the lodge room last Wednesday evening with four tables present.

Mrs. Dave Egan won the mystery prize. By GORDON MORLEY BRINSLEY The legacy of $1,000 which the late Mrs. Gertrude Harris left to the church has been applied to the purchase of a Hammond organ. This will be dedicated some time after Christmas, and it is felt that it will be a fitting memorial to Mrs. Harris, who was organist at the church for so many years and gave such long and devoted Christian ser- vice. Next Sunday morning, De- cember 13, there will be a special service of Christmas hymns and carols at the church at 11:30; and this will give an excellent opportunity for people to listen to the new organ.
