Winghern, Ontario,.
Sir:
The Canadian Red Cross' Society
began the operaton of a blood.
transfusion service in this city in
!the spring of 1959, Through this
service blood is provided free to
!ail who need it,
The establishment of this service
entailed the setting up of a net-
:work of brood donor clinics
throughout Western Ontario. The
first months, of this operation were,
understandably, difficult, On sev-
eral occasions during the past sum-
, ,lnexr. 'available supplies of blood
dropped 'almost to the vaniihing
point. However, thanks to the Co-
operation of donors and the kind-
ness of press, radio and television,
:crises were triumphantly met, even
if sometimes the margin of safety
was very narrow indeed'.
On the threshold of the NeW
Year, all' of us who have been con-
nected with the blood transfusion
service want to take this opportun-
ity of expressing, in some small
way, the ;deep- sense of appreciation
and' obligation that We feel to the
many hundreds of blood donors and
volunteer workers who have con-
tributed so generously and so un-
selfishly, and to press, radio 'and
television for helping us to tell our
story.
To all of you, from all of us, our
hest wishes for a happy and pros-
perous New Year. -
Peter V. V. Betts, President,
London Area Branch,
Canadian Red Cross Society.

WAS IT TOO
COMMERCIAL?
Personally, we are a bit tired of
all the chatter about Christmas be-
mg commercialized. On every side
one hears wails about the world hav-
ing turned away from the true mean-
ing of the happiest season of the
year—and we believe that a lot of
the moans are without foundation,.
It may be that big business views
the Christmas sales potential as
something to be exploited, but the
average businessman in a smaller
community has not forgotten any
of the real meaning. Certainly they
:Sell a lot of merchandise, but the.
sales are made to those who most
definitely want to buy, The pur-
chasers are not pumped by high pres-
sure advertising. The goods are
simply offered,in the most attractive
forM of display. •
Many critics are impressed by
the tremendous volume of retail
.sales during the Christmas. season,
and leap to the conclusion that mer-
chants think of nothing but their
cash registers. Times, and • the
change they have undergone account
for the, difference. Twenty-five' or
fifty years ago everyone lived mare
Many of the gifts in -the
average family were the products of
human hands—new - woollen mitts
for Johnny; a new hand-made dress
for Sally. V.athersg•o•t into the base-
ment and made a new bread board
-
for mother and mother knitted a
fancy sweater for clad.
ActuallY, those hand-Made gifts
were the finest we ever received, for
they not only filled real needs, .but
they carried With them the assurance
Of .- love and interest which were
knitted into the fabric With the.
passing -hours. HaweVer, mothers
and 'fathers,' have no choice today.
In many hOthes mother is a working
,giri as .well as .ahousewite. .Christ-
mas is ..such :a busy season that she
has -no time for•knitting, so she goes
shopping to secure the gifts she
needs.
• Another factor, t6o, increases the
volume of retail sales. We simply
have more money than we ever had
bdore. Many a father would have
been in. his seventh heaven 'during
the 'dirty thirties if he had been able
to find the cash to buy a, $400 record
player for his family. He simply
didn't have the wherewithal. Now,
because times are so ninth better and
he is able to bay the kind of gifts he
always dreamed about, he is a party
to this horrible commercializing of
Christmas,
We just can't agree with those
who -always contend that humans
arc headed straight for hell. Church-
esH and good works of all kinds are
being supported as they never have
been before,: The aggregate of
thought and attention to the needs
of , others has 're-ached --an all-time
high, and is on a steady increase.
We will never be perfect, but there
are gnite a few folks we know are
making' an honest ,effort.

WHAT DO YOU RESOLVE?
This time of year has been de-
voted traditionally to the making of
good resolutions. These resolutions
may range all the way from taking
your wife to Florida, right down the
• line to a little more caution in your
smoking.
We might, however, suggest a
field for high resolve that would
benefit our entire community to a
tremendous extent, Just make a
firm resolution to stop criticizing
the efforts of those who are working
their heads off to see that Wing ham
and its surrounding community get
ahead. At the same time, resolve to
get out to some of the meetings, to
serve on some of the committees, to
shoulder some of the work yourself,
rather than beefing about the 'way
the other fellow does it.
If we could, even double' the mim-
ber of those who take an active part
in community life our possibilities
for progress would be unlimited
and there wouldn't be a very big
crowd of workers even then.

The most interesting of all gifts
to mankind is that of time, Right
at this monnont we are all thinking,
to a certain degree, about how the
next twelve months will turn out.
The weeks and months which made
up the year 1959 were good ones.
The vast majority of people on our
side of the world have prospered
mightily.
Right here in Winghtou we have
every reason to be thankful for a
busy year, with business definitely

large there has been. considerable
easing of the tensions which have so
Persistently beset us ever since the
Second World War. The coming
year seems. to offer real promise
that even greater stops will be made.
toward the goal of world' peace.
As we face this more promising
future a Host of voices are raised in
warning: The United States is not
tough enough with, its opponents ;
the U.S. must at all costs try to be-
come better understood by the na-
tions. of the East. Canada is facing
financial ruin; Canada has a bright
.future,
The ordinary citizen could hardly
be blamed if he became more than
a little confused. 1n1 fact the states-,
tnett themselves don't present any
concrete evidence of clarity.
Perhaps all this confusion and,
lack of uniform direction is bound toi
be,, as we stumble into the space age..
One evening recently we were fascin-
ated by a TAT interview, in which
a young AmeriCan scientist told in
calm words about the multimillion
dollar experiments which are cur-
rently being made to establish radio,
coMmunicat ion and eventually tele-
vision contact with the inhabitants•
of other planets. Ile wasn't speak-
ing of men on Mars. or jupitei; our
close neighbours in oar own plane-
tary system—he was talking about
the inhabitants of planets which
whirl' about the suns of other solar
systems. He suggested that these
solar systems would ,also be rela-
tively close—a mere 2G light years
away from us..
Such facts are ail but beyond, the
grasp of human, creatures, and yet it
does appear that they are facts, cold
truths which we will have to digest
in the course of foreseeable time.
While • some individuals in the hue
man family are grappling with the
staggering statistics of space, others
are still completely unaware' that
our entire way of life is in. motion
toward an unbelievable tomorrow..
Therefore it is not surprising that
even the leaders are confused about,
the paths we should follow:
There is little that we can do to
alter the course of events in,a small
community such as ours. Though
the vast drama is intensely interest-
ing our only contribution will be in
the brilliant young minds we can
send into the fray. But we can
continue to .wol-k with faith and
aids.

timism toward the Ost promising
of all ages through which mankind
has so far travelled.
"A PROMISE FOR 1969"'
Text: Exodus Ch. 33:11 "My
presence shall go with thee, and
I will give thee rest". Look at tin"
Wording of the promise, as it
comes to us .from the lips of GOD,
We may use the anthropomorphism
"the lips of GOD", without any
hesitation, because the promise is
recorded as having been spoken
' directly to MOSES by GOD HIM-
Sig-110; "HE said: My presence
shall go with thee, and I will give
thee rest."
The first word in the pr7ornise is
that precious ;pronoun "My";
AND it is. this pronoun which has
the emphasis here. GOD'S promise
to send an Angel far from satis-
fied MOSES; And now at length
GOD tenderly yields to HIS ser-
vant's moving entreaty, and says;
"MY presence shall go with thee,"
Look at the next word in the.
promise, "MY presence shall: go
with thee," This meant far more
than infallible .superintendence
from a distant HEAVEN. It
meant the close- companionship of
4.
There's something completely
satisfying about getting the old
nose back to the familiar grind-
stone, after the scramble of Christ-
mas and the 'follies of 'New Year's
Eve have faded. It's a good thing
to have a brand new year stretch-
ing ahead, as clean and fresh as
a field of new snow, even though,
we know it don't look like much
.after we've hogged around in it
for awhile. 414. 414
Looking back over fast year: is
rather depressing, I can't seem
to see anything of progress, mor-
ally, physically, or financially, in
my own twelve month. stint. I did
get to church more often, but that
was offset by an increase in smolt-.
falo, and Mrs, Stanley Smith of
Montreal left on Monday after
spending the Christmas holidays
with their parents, Mr. and Mrs.
A. H. Musgrove.
Miss Jean Lepard, of Orangeville,
is visiting at her home here,
Miss Dorothy Armitage spent the
Christmas holidays with Miss Win-
nifred Smith, Toronto.
Mr. and Mrs. 'William Kew,
Corunna, spent the 'Christmas
akelb with the former's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Kew.
Peter W, Scott• has been return-
ed as reeve of East Wawanosh
Township,
How comforting is the second
clause of the promise, "I will give.
thee rest." The steadying cOn-
seionsileSs of GOD'S presence and'
favour gives to the -heart a rest
which nothing .else can ever give.
will give thee rest." THESE
ARE THE VERY WORDS that
;fell from the lips of JESUS. "Come
unto ME' all ye that labour and
are heavy laden, and I will give
you rest." Ah, it is in JESUS
that GOD 'fulfils HIS promised
rest to us. IT IS IN THE
REALIZED presence of . THE
RISEN LORD that the 'ehristian,
finds a repose of ,heart which the
world can neither give nor take
away,
I heard the voice of JESUS say,
"Come unto ME, and rest:
Lay down„ thou weary ONE, lay
(town thy head upon MY breast,"
I came to JESUS AS I was-
weary, and worn, and sad;
I found in HIM- a resting-place,
and HE has made me glad„
