One of the real pleasures of Christmas is the
genuine joy of wishing happiness and
good health to our many friends.
DECEMBER is here and with it lurks the "common cold"! Ontario citizens
are reminded now of a few simple helpful rules to safeguard their
health, and that of others.
Prevention of the common cold is the responsibility of all, and if everyone
plays his part much unnecessary illness, expense and discomfort may be avoided.
With the holiday season looming ahead, when so much happiness depends on
everyone feeling fit; why run the risk of " catching cold''-'—or letting members
of your family face that danger ?
In the interest of parents, and families, the Ontario Department of Health
recommends every Ontario citizen to study the common-sense precautions
suggested below and act upon them.

Abbreviation, Xmas
Of Greek Origin
There has been much unfavorable
comment on the abbreviated form for
ChriStmas that is commonly used.
Many think it inappropriate an& un-
dignified to use the shortened form,
Xmas.
The explanation of its origin is that
the initial letter of the Greek name
for Christ is X and the coincidence
of its cruciform shape led to an early
adoption of this letter as the figure
and symbol of Christ. X is frequently
found on walls of the catacombs.
When the early Christians 'wished to
make a representation of the Trinity,
they would place either a cross or an
X beside the names of the Father
and the Holy Ghost, From this tame
the shortened form Xmas, instead of
Christmas.
