The Wenger Brothers,
The Wingham Advance -Times,
Wingham, Ontario.
Gentlemen:
Everybody in this office has
now had an opportunity to read
the edition of The Advance -
Times in which you covered
the introduction of dial service
and Direct Distance Dialing in
your area.
We were all greatly impres-
sed with the edition, particu-
larly in view of the fact that
you were undergoing a major
change in your method of
printing.
We felt that your coverage
was most thorough, and that it
went a long way towards help-
ing facilitate a smooth intro-
duction of dial service and
DDD.
As you're probably aware,
we carried out an intensive
educational program over the
past few months to prepare our
customers for these changes in
their service. Your cotferage
of our activities during that
entire period, as well as the
final changeover edition,
played a very important and
\highly -appreciated part in the
program.
Yours truly,
J. A. Tannian
News and Informa-
tion Supervisor,
Western Area.

Mistletoe, Prescribed Now for Kissing,
,
Once Was Thought to Cure
Illness
An ancient custom, which
"prescribed" mistletoe for the
prevention and cure of a wide
variety of illnesses — epilepsy,
for instance — has given way
to the happier idea that mis-
tletoe is the right prescription
to assure opportunities for ex-
changing kisses during the
holiday season.
Naturally, this makes mis-
tletoe an object of interest —
as it has been for centuries.
Druid priests in early Bri-
tain cut mistletoe at the win-
ter solstice and gave sprig$ of
it to the people, The sprigs
were hung above doorways of
homes and stables. The Druids
taught, and the people be-
lieved, that this vine had great
power to ward off evil and pro-
tect against illnesses,
Despite the early interest in
mistletoe for its supposed
medicinal qualities, its use as a
"prescription for kissing" had
a place in the ancient world,
too.
Romans and other early
peoples considered mistletoe
as an emblem of peace. Meet-
ing under it, enemies kissed
each other and made a truce
until the next day,
Scandinavian myths tell the
story of the death of Balder,
the sun god, who was, so myth-
ology says, killed by an arrow
of mistletoe wood, His mother
the goddess Freya, had asked
all living things to pledge not
to harm her son, but she neg-
lected to ask the lowly mistle-
toe.
Balder's enemy, the lame
god Loki, took advantage of
this to make the arrow, which
he persuaded Roder, the blind
god of winter, to shoot. Balder
died, but through the efforts
of all the other gods, he came
'back to life after three days,
and the sun's light shone at
the winter solstice.
Freya cried for joy, and her
tears became mistletoe berries.
She kissed everyone who
passed under the mistletoe,
and ordained" that this same
sign of affection should always
be exchanged when people met
beneath the mistletoe.

BELGRAVE
The Sunday School concert
for the United Church will be
held on Friday, December 21,
in the Foresters' Hall.
The Hi -C Group of the United
Church attended the C.G.I. T.
vesper service on Sunday eve-
ning and afterward went carol
singing in the village. Later
they returned to the church for
a social time and lunch.
Miss Marlene and Miss
Eleanor Walsh of Kitchener
spent the week -end with their
parents, Mr. and Mrs. James

Merry Christmas from your
correspondent to all my readers.
If you are having visitors for
Christmas or are visiting over
the holidays, I would like to
hear from you. -- Mrs. Ted
Fear.
Is Christmas Commercial?
Every year about this time
we hear the same story: Christ-
mas is getting too commercial.
In fact, some grown-ups rebell-
ed and said because Christmas
was getting "so commecial"
they intended to tell their child-
ren about Santa Claus.
Like little VirginiaO'Hanlon,
Who wrote the famous "Is There
a Santa?" letter to the editor of
the New York Sun, children are
very easily disillusioned. But,
like Virginia, they need only
reassurance from soneone they
believe in to sustain their won-
derful belief. It is entirely
wrong for us to shatter their
dreams.
Christmas is commercial in
some aspects. Thousands of
people earn a livelihood work-
ing the year round in toy shops
or factories which produce
Christmas specialties.This, in
itself, does not make Christmas
"too commercial"for toymakers
have produced Christmas nov-
elties for hundreds of years. In
A LAW AGAINST I9'
In Massachusetts, Christmas
didn't become a lawful holiday
until 1856. The Pilgrims in
New England had disapproved
of Christmas celebrations, and
a law prohibiting them was
passed in 1659,
Mystery of Magi Leads to Legends;
Only St. Matthew Reports Visit
Familiar to all is the visit of
the Magi to Bethlehem — and
yet little is known about it. In
the books of the New Testa-
ment, only St. Matthew re-
ports the visit.
St. Matthew called them
"wise men from the East." In
the legends that have devel-
oped, they are sometimes
called "Magi," because this
word, meaning "august," was
the name given the priests of
the ancient Medes and Per-
sians,
Tradition says they had
heard that a bright new star
would announce the coming of
a Saviour to the world. After
years of watching, they saw
the star and set out from Bab-
ylon to find Him.
In Bethlehem, they gave the
Christ Child gold in a shrine -
shaped casket, a sign that they
accepted Him as their King;
frankincense, a symbol of His
deity; and myrrh in a golden
horn, a prophecy of His death.

"SO EXPLAIN THE RED NOSES ..." The Telegrptn. Toronto
the same vein, we cannot say
Christmas is too commercial
merely because newspapers,
magazines and catalogues are
filled with gift advertising as
the holiday season approaches.
They advertise spring merchan-
dise, fall merchandise, etc„
so why not Christmas merchan-
dise when the dominant theme
is one of giving?
No, "too commercial" is an
over -statement. Christmas is
too commercial only in the
minds of grown-ups. If we
think so, let's work to see that
the "true spirit" of the season
abounds about us and not
attempt to ta,<e away from the
children the joy of one of the
greatest moments of their young
lives—the time when Santa
visits.
For he exists as certainly as
love and generosity and devot-
ion exist, and you ,<now that
they abound and give to your
life its highest beauty and joy.
+las! How dreary the world
would be if there was no Santa
Claus!"
Let there be a Santa as long
as there are little Virginias.
Easy Care Tips
For Holiday Plant
Christmas and holiday gift
plants will live better and last
longer if you observe a few easy
care tips to insure their health.
To guard against over -water-
ing and over -heating, it's es-
sential to keep them in porous
clay pots, used by leadingpro-
fessional growers and florists to
insure that you receive plants
of the highest quality, well
fertilized and well rooted.
The porous sides of the clay
pots are a major help in solv-
ing the problem of over -water-
ing. Clay dissipates excess
moisture and leaches out harm-
ful salts, thus preserving the
necessary constant moisture
condition o'1
sol nourishing g the
plants' roots.
Thus, even though plants in
clay pots are occasionally over.
watered, the pot walls, bottom
and drainage hole will auto-
matically drain off excess
moisture that might otherwise
drown your plant, This ispar-
ticularly important for poin-
settias, which prefer and thrive
best under somewhat drier con-
ditions than most plants.
