Secretary-Treasurer, Alberta Smith gave and New history A new and exciting history of the Canada Company which is being published Dintly by the County of Perth nd Cumming Publishing, S ratford, will be available in wary 1979. rhis covers the early story of Guelph and Guelph Town- ship, The Huron Tract and scattered Crown Land lots across Southern Ontario from Windsor to Ottawa. The book tells mainly the founding of the Company in 1824, establishment of early settlements, building The Huron Road and the gradual introduction of self govern- ment which reduced the ( authority of Cr:.nada Com- pany officials posted either in Goderich or Toronto. The troubles of commis- sioners and likewise those . of ,thei settlers which were omplicated by poor com- munications are set out. In spite of complaints by, certain settlers, The Canada Companiy was one of the Most succesSful Settlement companies to operate in Canada and was, largely it reponsible for the dramatic increase in immigration fol- lowing the Rebellion of 1837. The story of the Canada Company was written by' Thelma Coleman, a freelance author, who lives in Strat- ford.

Change with every century, But still we keep the festival of Nativity. Nothing dims the. Christmas glory, as in days of old The some great words are spoken, • and the same sweet story told. ****** In this festival season of family gatherings, partying, and all the hustle and bustle, of Christmas, we sometimes lose sight of the true origin of Christmas joy. It is not the happy family reunions or the children's Santa Claus. It is the birth of the Babe of Bethlehem. "Joy to the World, the Lord has come!" ****** In this time of happiness spare a thought and a greeting for those not as fortunate as we. Remember the lonely ones who have no family of their own. ****** This year I am off for a week to spend Christmas with 'my son David and his wife Louise and sons Michael and Mark in ,Mississauga. It 'takes young children around you to enjoy the excitement of Christmas. To see their eyes sparkle with expectation as they early tumble from. bed to gaze, with eager delight, at the gaily wrapped gifts under the tree, will help to dispel the shadow of loneliness for the family member who is no longer with us. Son Robert and his family of Ottawa will join us later in the week. With my family . around me I look forward to a happy holiday. * * ** * * It takes the opportunity' to enjoy a bountiful, dinner and the pleasure of a dance to bring out a crowd. The B.B.A. Christmas Dinner and Dance did just that. It kept the ladies of the Brussels Legion Auxiliary jumping to serve the 160 plates of the excellent meal, they provided. * * * * * * Do not yourself, or have your guests, end up in hospital or funeral home, this festive season, TheThntario Safety League offers these suggestions to escape such a fate in the wake of holiday partying: It takes the body about one hour to eliminate the alcohol in one drink, the, one-for-one rule works—one drink an hour, or one hour before driving for each dring. An ounce per drink—ho doubles. Stop serving drinks one hour before guests are expected to leave. Have coffee ready, not because it will sober anyone up, but because it will hold guests a little longer. Time is the only factor in getting rid of alcohol. If a guest drinks too much see that someone else does the driving. If you are a guest and have had too much get someone else to drive you home. results of the bazaar and the quilt draW were given in the Treasurers report. A motion was passed to send in a petition from the W.I. to have a rabies inoculation in Huron County.
