ENGLAND ONCE FORBADE CHRISTMAS OBSERVANCE Did you know that the observance of Christmas was once forbidden in England—the home of the Yule Lag, the Carol-singer and the wassailers, During the Reformation many be- lieved the undue jollity of Christmas day was sacriligious. Parliament, on December 24, 1652, ordered that "no observance shall be held at the five and twentieth day of December, com- monly called Christmas day; nor any solemnity used or exercised in church- es upon that day in respect therof." This edict proved to be very un- popular with the masses of the people. It was not until many years later, however, that Christmas was once again regarded as a holiday.

CHRISTMAS GREENS BRIGHTEN HOME A few well placed Christmas greens can do much to brighten a house at Christmas time. Properly clipped, the branches will never be missed, and might improve the looks of the tree from which they 'are cut. In pruning, however, keep In mind the natural appearance of the tree from which you ellp the branches, A Walk Through Town Walking thrreuub:hc :o:billet:I be a haz- ardous busineas Woe days, judging from the complaints that are register- ed with the town council, And if you fall in one of the holes in Wingkages pavements, you needn't expeet much sympathy from the insurance firm that issues the public liability policy which is supposed, to cover the town in such events, Take the case of Alm, Michael Wil- lie. While walking on the boulevard of one of the town's streets last winter she tripped in a pothole and suffered a broken ankle. Thinking that the town was indirectly respensible for the mishap in not having the hose filled in, she asked that the insurance adjuster be called in to see if the in- surance company would bear part of the costs, which amounted to several hundred dollars. According to Mrs. Willie, the adjus- ter told her that he would recommend a settlement, and acting on the belief that the company would bear part of the expense, Mrs, Willie decided against bringing suit against the town. Later, when the insurance company informed her that they did not con- sider theins6es responsible, Mrs. Willie found that it was too late to enter suit, since such action apparent- ly must be taken within a stipulated time. Mrs. Willie thereupon asked the town council if there was anything they could do to make the insurance company live up to its promise, and the council, thinking there was *some justification to her claim, wrote and asked that the insurance company re- consider their decision, The council received the same reply, that the in- surance company did not consider itself responsible in any way for dam- ages, in spite of the fact that their adjuster had promised the Mayor a recommendation sympathetic to Mrs. Willie. Nothing has happened since then, and it now seems that Mrs. Willie must bear the entire' expense of an accident which the adjuster ad- mitted was not entirely her fault. The 'latest incident on the insurance front is the Case of Mrs. George Cam- eron Sr., who tripped in a hole in the pavement on Josephine Street in front of Mitchell's store. Mrs. Camer- on sustained minor injuries which necessitated a visit to the doctor, and upon seeing the town clerk was advis- ed to write a letter setting forth the details of her accident, the nature of her injuries and the amount of her doctor bill. The hole in the pavement Was fixed next day, and Mrs, Cam- eron presented a small bill to the in- surance company for actual out-of- pocket costs involved in the accident. In reply she received a letter from the insurance company stating, in ef- fect, that they found it hard to under- stand how anyone could trip on a hole In the pavement in broad daylight, the inference being, we presume, that Mrs. Cameron was negligent—even if the hale was there in the sidewalk, How- ever, they did ask for further details, a request that surprises Mrs, Cameron slightly, since for her the matter was quite simple. There was a hole in the sidewalk, and she tripped on it. Mrs. Cameron is still waiting for an aek- knowkdgment of her last letter with "further details." Both of these mishaps have received considerable attention in ' the town council, which as representatives of the people of Wingham, must hear the complaints of all citizens. And in both eases councillors have raised the ques- tion of what exactly the town is pay- ing for when it writes a cheque for the annual premium on this policy. Naturally the town doesn't expect the insurance company to pay in full each and every claim that comes before it, but councillors point out that they do cepect a certain measure of protec- tion in return for their premium. According to the Mayor, the annual premium on the town's public liability policy is in the neighborhood of $400. No claims have ever been paid out under the policy, and the company has adopted a very careful attitude to- ward the two claims that have Come up. Mrs, Cameron's claim, of course, may yet be settled, in which case the company will be out the cost of a doctor's bill for a minor fall, as com- pared to receipts of several hundred ydeoallrat.r's premiums over a period of Of course, the payment of Mrs. Cameron's claim might have a detri. mental effect on the town's finances, as ohe councillor pointed out. If a claim payment were made tinder the policy, the premium rates would pro- bably go tip.
