To* Decorations
Made of Cardboard
Little cardboard. Christmas
trees for tables, buffets and TV
Sets are easy and make attractive
Christmas decorations.
Here's one simple *method of
making. Use two pieces of card-
board about nine inches 'Wide and
twelve inches long. Draw a
straight line midway ' down each
—lengthwise. Then sketch the out-
line of a simple chrisbnas tree,
displaying the' usual three branch-
es, with the bottom branch' ex-
tending to the full width of the
card, the middle one to a lesser
degree and the top one ending in
a paint. Cut this out. Treat the
second piece of cardboard in the
same manner a.nd 'then cut it into
halves down the centre line. Join
the' first piece ,of cardboard, se-
curing with tape all the way doWn.
Coat the tree with transparent
adhesive and sprinkle it with'glit-
ter..When dry, fill an empty ice-
cream carton with' sand or earth
and 'fix in the little tree. And
there's your table. deco'ration, You
can add to its attractiveness by
gumming on little beads or hits ox
tinsel and cotton, wool,,
A Party Tent
What about turning your room
into a tent for your Christmas
setting this year? It's not as
crazy as you may think.
Stretch lengths of twine across
the room at picture-rail height and
at, about 3-foot intervals and lay
alternate pieces of coloured crepe
paper. across them. By choosing
really bright colors you obtain a
wonderful "marquee" effect.
If you want to heighten the
tent illusion place one central
stretch of twine right down e the
middle of the room (lengthwise)
and about two 'inches below the
,Then, by taking crepe ,'
paper frf5m one side at curtain"-
rail level, over the twine, and. on
to the other side, you will have
produced a real tent.

THE SALVATION ARMY
Traffic safety is one of the major problems in a society where fast-
moving motor „vehicles are so common. There are a hundred-and-.
one wa34 in which youngsterS :are exposed to injury and, death.
Only eternal care can •cut the mounting toll.
Though the chief responsibility lies with the ear driver it is
vital to train children to, be cautious. No 'driver can be expected
to see around a corner — all he can do is use care anti common
sense. The children must be- taught to move out slowly from
spots like the one 'above.
Don't miss any opportunity lto teach your own yourigkers the
importance of being careful where motor' traffic is concerned.

TIME 'TO BE GRATEFUL
Believe it or not, th.ere are a few
nice things about Canadian winter
—if you look hard enough to find
:them, • One of the most pleasant we
know is the sensation of warmth
!and security one experiences snugly
.iiploors on a blustery winter night.
'Then, if we are at all thoughtful,
,comes the consciousness of the tre-
;mendous blessings most of ti§ en-
,joy—the warmth, the good homes,
:the well-made clothes and the ample
food, These are the practical signs
of a prosperity which each one of us
'is all too inclined to belittle.
flaturally, it is true that not ev-
ery family in Canada is so fortunate
as to be blessed with all these =-
Aerial comforts, but the general level
o our economy, clespite any minor
setbacks, has permitted the vast ma-
jority to not only accept, but to par-
tially disregard the vital importance
'of the basic gifts without which
:life is really not too enjoyable,

THE PUBLIC IS NOT
WELL INFORMED
Though the attendance at the
Wing,ham nomination meeting was
a little larger than last year, it still.
left a great deal to be desired. There
were about 36 people out, including
those who at present hold office—
approxiMately 1.3 percent of the'
population,
It is possible, of course, that at-
tendance and interest are low be-
cause there are no serious issues to
be discussed at the moment., but we
are inclined to think that there is
another contributing -factor. The av-
erage citizen of. Ontario towns such
as, our own is not nearly as well in-
formed -about the business Of his
community as he was even .1.5 years
ago.
'S.".61.1 can remember the day when
the municipality published a 'finan-
cial statement each. year, Though
that type of statement did not con-
vey all the vital facts about the con-
duct of affairs in the community it
did provide a starting,r'point for dis-
cussion and-it certainly made coun-
cillors extremely conscious'. of their
responsibility to the electors. .The
law no longer requires that this itF=
formation be . published and . we do
not believe- that. the change was
'beneficial to. the civic health of the
Though -Ike are cOnfrontect
Steadily mounting' taxes, there was
not one question at the nomination
meeting about the conduct of the
town's financial affairs. Personally,
we are convinced that the council
has done a pretty good job of hand-'
ling the money at its disposal, but
there must he hundreds of 'people- -in'
this town who haven't the faintest
idea where the .tax money goes..
Present-clay councils are not
solely to blame . for this situation.
Rather the fault lies with the • pub-
lic,. for there is ,not nearly enough
demand on the part.of the average.
elector, for information about his
town and. its business.
PROMISING HOCKEY
SEASON
It would appear that we are go-
ing to see some interesting hockey
here this season. We have the per-
sonnel for a first-class intermediate
team in town and as long as the pro-
per management can be found, Wing-
ham fans can look forward. to .some
fact action. The fact that the
grouping is pretty well confined to
nearby towns will mean that more
of the local people can: follow the
games.
discouraging support during the,
past three or four years, bat it's
about time that the swing started
to Move back to the arena once more,
now that the novelty of the TV set
has worn off to a certain degree,
The intermediates are badly in
need of funds right nor, If you are
one of those who enjoy a good game
of hockey, drop a few buck in to The
Advance-Times office to help the
boys to get rolling for the year.
