If you
have any
of these
heating
problems:
not enough heat
uneven distribution of heat
grimy registers
cold radiators
costly fuel bills
constant service calls
faulty burner ignition
there's a place for your outmoded heating
system. But it's not in your home!
Replace with a modern Esso
Oil Furnace. You'll enjoy the carefree
comfort and extra economy.
That old furnace in your home could be the cause of many of your heating
Problems, It's not only eating up your fuel bill and involving extra ex-
penses, but failing to heat your home comfortably. Even a ten-year-old
furnace can be "obsolete" by today's modern standards and teenage
furnaces can be troublemakers. Go modern with a compact modern Esso
Furnace replacement. It will give you abundant heat all through your
home with budget-pleasing economy. Why put up with insufficient heat,
noisy combustion and grimy air? A smooth-operating, fully automatic
Esso Oil Furnace gives you carefree, clean home heating. Why tolerate
costly repair bills? For just pennies a day you can enjoy all the advan-
tages of a trouble-free modern heating system. Best of all you'll enjoy
such economical operation that you'll probably see your way to trans-
forming that basement into a bright recreation room. Oil is the modern
home heating fuel — clean, safe and so economical, A new Esso Oil
Furnace will make the most of it, too, There's a big difference between
today's trim new furnaces and the Inefficient heating systems of
yesteryear. See for yourself,

DECEMBER 1972
IF SANTA HAD GONE TO SCHOOL
Of course, there is no time up at the North
Pole for getting a formal education. The en-
tire year is taken up with getting ready for
that momentous December journey. However,
if Santa had gone to school we think he might
have been a member of the Health Team.
SANTA CLAUS, M.D. (Pediatrician)
It would certainly have been in keeping with
his nature for Santa to have been a children's
doctor. Bringing that most precious gift of
all "Good Health" to all those with whom he
came in contact. For to be a doctor, it takes
hard work and a love of people and these two
traits are Santa's strong points.
SANTA CLAUS, D.D.S. (Dentist)
An important part of being a dentist is the
ability to reassure an anxious boy or girl that
everything is going to be all right and that
it isn't really going to hurt. Santa can prob-
ably handle this job as well as anyone we
can think of and he also has the twin quality
of patience and gentleness so necessary to
the dental profession.
SANTA CLAUS, R PH. (Pharmacist)
Santa won" Aso have made an excellent
pharmacist. Because to be a pharmacist you
must be willing to dedicate yourself to long
hours, night work and most important you
must have a genuine desire to help people
who are ill. Also Santa would feel right at
home since we probably stock as many pack-
ages (of medicines) as he does toys.
TEAMWORK IS IMPORTANT
Santa Claus knows what teamwork is, for
without it his Christmas-time task would be
impossible. Doctors, dentists, nurses, pharma-
cists, and all the many others associated with
the community health team must work closely
together so that you and your family can en-
joy better health.

BLUE SPRUCE
Couple to reside in London
The house-lights dim. The
chatter of the audience stops, and
the curtain rises to reveal a small
and very nervous master (or
mistress) of ceremonies. "Ladies
and gentlemen, boys and girls,"
he begins. "The students of S.S.
No. 3, Mulmur public school
would like to welcome you to our
annual Christmas concert". And
as he stepped back, the group of
30 or so students behind him
would break into a chorus of
Jingle Bells or some other light
and lively Christmas song.
It started the same way every
year, but the people used to pack
the community hall to see our
Christmas concert. For about two
hours, the grade I to VIII
students of our one-room school
would enter the world of
showbusiness and try our darn-
dest to entertain mothers, fathers
and friends waiting so ex-
pectantly in the audience to see
their child prodigy on stage,

ticed so much at home that they

knew just exactly what was
coming anyway. But this was the
real thing!)
I haven't been to a Christmas
concert like that for years,
mainly because schools have
stopped having them. "They take
too much time away from
classroom work", the principals
said, Then of course, once the
little red school houses closed
down. there were too many
students in the central schools to
have a Christmas concert. If
there is anything, it is a "Variety
night" or a "Family night".
But it always saddens me to
think that the tradition of
Christmas concerts stopped. For
'one thing, it was the one big
contribution the school gave to
our community; the one time,
(besides church) when everyone
gathered to mark the biggest
festivity of the year. It was also
one of the few times throughout
the year that all the students in
the school had an opportunity to
make a joint, concentrated effort
on a big project.
I feel sorry for the kids now,
many of whom have probably
never even attended, let alone
participated in a school concert,
For me, this was the way I
knew Christmas was coming. It
wasn't when they started running
Christmas advertisements on
television, or when the Christmas
television "specials" begin, but
when the music teacher, who
came to our school once a week,
on Friday afternoons, would
announce, sometime in late
November that it was time to
start practicing for the concert.
From that time on, we all knew
Christmas was coming.
Once the practicing had started
in earnest, most of our activities,
in one way or another, were
aimed at getting ready for the big
night. In art class, we would
make posters announcing the
time and place. I remember the
favorite headline, for those of us
without too much imagination
was "Come One, Come All, to
Mansfield Hall . . ."
Furniture, lamps and other
sundries would be salvaged from
various homes' basements to
form the settings for our plays.
Costumes, where necessary,
would be comprised of made-over
outfits, or perhaps designed
especially for the occasion out of
crepe paper.
Special afternoons would be set
aside; all the desks re-arranged
in the room; and script in hand,
we would practice the songs, and
plays in preparation.
The afternoon before the
concert was always looked for-
ward to with much anticipation,
because more often than not,
school was cancelled, and
everyone trouped down to the
community hall, to set up ben-
ches for the audience, decorate,
and of course, have the final
dress rehearsal.
By the time six or seven o'clock
rolled around, things were
usually in an uproar, at least
around my house. I would be
yelling at everyone to hurry up,
because I was sure I wasn'tgoing
to get there in time (I always
did). Mother would be yelling at
me to be quiet and practice some
more, Dad would be yelling at
everyone, wondering who had his
socks last,
I'm surewhen I :las in grade one
and two, I must have participated
in rhythm bands, or said a
recitation or something, but they
don't stand out in my mind. The
first thing I really remember was
when I was in grade three, and
my cousin and I had to sing a
duet, "I don't wanna play in your
yard , .." There we were, dressed
in our blue crepe paper skirts and
white blouses, and as nervous as
anything, but we got through it
without too many problems,
much to the relief of our parents,
whose nerves, by this time, were
completely frazzled.
A few other things stand out in
my mind too. Like the time I was
on stage for one number, had to
rush off, change costumes, and
be back on stage for the next one,
The only thing separating our
dressing room from the boys was
a curtain, and I was so nervous
that I rushed right into the boy's
side and had my skirt half off
before I realized what I was
doing. If nothing else, it got
everyone laughing so hard at my
