Share of the wintry weather.
Poring the storm on 1SlOndaY,
streets in Iffingham were almost im-
passable in many places, with motor-
ists abandoning their cars an the
side of the roads and continuing their
journey on foot, Slippery roads caus-
ed poor traction on the hills, and
Many ear owners had to be pushed
by one Means or another, Driveways
choked with snow prevented many
front even getting started, and pedes-
trian traffic in town was heavy as
disgusted Motorists gave up driving
in favor of shanks' mares.
By Monday evening most of the
traffic was moving a bit easier, but
streets of town had been plowed and
on nnsanded streets motorists had
difficulty in getting up hills and
keeping from skidding into the ditch-
es.
On highways in the district many
cars were unable to keep on the road,
due to the slippery conditions, and
many motorists were thankful for
help received in ,betting them out of
the ditch,

Marked by 21 penalties, including two
majors, the contest ,was hectic, par-
ticularly in the first period, when no
less than twelve penalties were hand-

Granville from Berger and Bourne
counted for London in the first min-

scored for the Lou Balls by Quirie
from D. Beattie and Pigeon, a scant
minute later. The Towne Hailers got

The Legends
Of Christmas
There are almost as many Christ-
mas legends and superstitions as there
have been Christmases. Countless cus-
toms from the Old World have been
absorbed through the centuries into
the celebrations that we participate
in today. A few, howe
k
ver, have bees
passed down from one generation to
another, remaining always the same.
The Indians of Canada, for example,
believe that the deer kneel in prayer
each Christmas Eve. An early mission-
ary probably is responisble for the
idea, but ft still lingers and wily In-
dians have already attempted to catch
the deer in the act,
In England, it is believed that the
bees express veneration for the na-
tivity by singing in their hives at mid-
night. The bee hives are always adorn-
ed with holly sprigs for the Yuletide
season.
NIn Europe it was custom for a young
girl to creep to the family woodpile
on Christmas Eve and pull out the
first stick that her hand touched. It
the stick was a straight one, with no
knots, tradition said that she would
have a good husband.
Farmers in Europe also gave torch-
es to their children and sent them
singing into the apple orchards and
the fields. The mice, caterpillars and
moths were said to flee, before the
approaching songsters.
In early Germany it was a belief
that water turned into wind during
the hour before midnight on Christ-
mas Eve.

And ears no longer hear the sounds

IF you Feel
A LL-I N
These days mod people work under
pressure, worry more, sleep less. This
drain on body and brain makes physical
fitness easier to lose—harder to regain.
Today's tense living, lowered resistance,
overwork, worry—any of these may affect
normal kidney action. When kidneys get
out of order, excess acids and wastes
remain in the system. Then backache,
disturbed rest, that "tired-out" heavy-
headed feeling often follow. That's the
time to take Dodd's Kidney Pills. Dodd's
stimulate the kidneys to normal action.
Then you feel better—sleep better—work
better. Ask for Dodd's Kidney Pills at
any drug counter. 53
