This repre- sents close to 25per cent of the elm tree population that is in proximity to these lines.. As a result of the survey, forestry crews will be spending considerable time in 1965 to remove dead or diseased trees that could cause hydro inter- ruptions during storms. The program of tree removal will start early in the new year. Hydro will not take out trees that are not diseased or a hazard to the lines, and will deal with the tree population Sister in Wingham Chilliwack Editor Learned Printing Trade in Wingham Miss Minnie Barber of Wing - ham received word at the week- end eekend of the death of her brother, Charles A. Barber, at Chilli- wack, B.C. He was 86 years of age and had been in poor health for some time. Mr. Barber was born at Chilliwack, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs, Charles Barber, but came to Wingham with his parents as a child. He received his education in the Wingham schools and served his appren- 'ticeship as a printer in the Advance office. Later he was manager of the Lucknow Sentinel and work- ed on newspapers at London and Winnipeg before purchasing a weekly newspaper at Pilot Mound, Man. In Pilot Mound hee was mar- ried to his first wife, Mary En- dicott. His second marriage was to Laurie Gibson of Calgary, who predeceased him a few years ago. Later Mr. Barber returned to his birthplace and purchased the Chilliwack Progress and made of it one of the promi- nent weekly newspapers in the Dominion. Following Mr. Bar- ber's retirement the paper was published by his son but has since been sold to the Liverpool Corporation, Charles Barber was deeply interested in municipal politic$ serving several terms as mayor of Chilliwack. He was one of the founders of the B, C. Weekly Newspapers Association and a past president of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association. He is survived by his sister in Wingham and one son, Les, of Saltspring Island, B.C. , and three grandchildren. Funeral service was conducted in Chilli- wack on Tuesday. that is adjacent to primary cir+ ousts only. The trees slated for felling are for the most part growing on public land. However in cases where they are on private property, approval of the land owner will be obtained before a tree is removed. Dutch elm disease was first noticed in this area in isolated cases some five years ago, spreading into Canada from Ohio where it first was spotted in 1930, Its rapid spread in Western Ontario has resulted in a size- able expenditure to utilities and municipalities for removal of trees that become dangerous to public and private property. The disease is spread by the elm bark beatle which is host to a fungi -type of parasite which infects the trees destroy- ing their ability to carry mois- ture, From the time a tree is infected until it is dead takes anywhere from six months to three years. The hydro program of tree removal demonstrates the spread of the disease and the fact that before too many years roll by the landscape will be denuded of the lovely spreading elm, although Government Forestry Departments in both Canada and the United States are persuing a vigorous research program for control of the dis- ease.

Compared with Ancient Times Today's Parties Are Simple The party season is upon us again and prospective hosts and hostesses may be forgiven if their attitude to it is, in the glorious language of the psy- chologists, a trifle ambivalent. They anticipate it, that is to say, with feelings about equal- ly compounded of pleasure and apprehension. For the success- ful party involves a deal ofpre- paration, from the careful sel- ection of guests to the no -less - careful selection of what is to be offered them in the way of food, drink and entertainment. We can be thankful, how- ever, that few parties today are conducted on the gargantuan scale common in ancient times. We read, for example, of the party thrown by King Herod, at which the dancing of Salome was featured in the entertain- ment. But even among ordin- ary people in those days huge parties were not unknown -- the Marriage Feast at Cana, for in- stance, with its 60 gallons or so of wine, Among the feudal barons, the city guilds, and even the villagers of the Mid- dle Ages, lavish entertainments were the rule, with the empha- sis heavily on eating and drink- ing; and at a later date Louis XIV of France threw in opera and ballet for good measure -- nightly. Parties have not always and necessarily been expressions of good will. Sonic of the Roman emperors used to invite (com- mand) people they wanted to slight or dishonour, These un- fortunates would have to sit at the table with the other guests, but instead of actual food they would be served with models of it, in wood, clay or marble, or their platters and goblets •would• just be left empty. In either case they would have to pre- tend to feed heartily, with all the appropriate ceremony, for the seven or eight hours or lon- ger that imperial banquetslast- ed. Heart-warming characters, the Roman emperors. Well, you will not, let us hope, be moved to extend that kind of hospitality to your guests. There is, on the other hand, a lot to be said for the very simple party on appropri- ate occasions — the more -or - less impromptu gathering in which the entertainment is pro- vided by the sparkling unin- habited exchanges between close friends, sauced with fruit and biscuits, and refreshed with carbonated soft drinks. Opu- lence is not always a prerequi- site of success. Yule Customs Are Different In the north the sun grew weaker and further away in mid-December. The people held feasts and built bonfires to bring the sun back to life. The idea of the sun's return in early winter was fused with Christ's coming as the Light of the World. The Druids worshipped the mistletoe, gathered it in spe- cial ceremonies and hung it in their homes. The Saxons used holly, ivy and bay. These cus4 toms later clustered around the celebration of Christ's birthday. Burning.the yule log in England and lighting the candles be- came a part of the Christmas event. Who lighted the first Christ- mas hristmas tree? The Romans may have started the idea when they hung a fir tree with lit candles at their annual Satur- nalia --the week-long winter festival dedicated to the sun god. They decorated their homes with green boughs and exchanged presents. Accounts persist that Martin Luther introduced the tree lighted with candles as a Christian observance. The Christmas tree was introduced in America by German Luther- an immigrants in the 1840's. The e- ergreens came to mean eternal salvation through Christ. The gifts symbolize God's great gift to mankind, His Son, Christ. Hymns and chants, in Latin, were the music of the early Christmases, and not until the 13th century were carols sung. These few songs were written in every European language, in festive, yet familiar style. Today Christmas is rich in carols and bells, candles and gifts, evergreens and fires --all to celebrate Christ's birth. TENNANT HENDERSON LIVING IN PT. CREDIT Tennant Henderson is snak- ing recovery from the stroke he suffered last summer, It is still necessary for him to use a brace and a crutch for walking, Mr. Henderson is living with his sister, Mrs. Harold Wicks, at 1151 Indian Road, Pott c,'rc - dit, Wingham Advanc Tinges, Thursday, CO. 17, 1904 Page 7 Shoring ideas Creates Seal That familiar Christmas Seal which appears on so many pack- ages and letters during the holi- day season owes its origin to an American physician, a Danish postal worker and a kind-heart- ed lady from Delaware. The doctor, Edward Living- ston Trudeau, was stricken with T. B. shortly after graduation from medical school, says the Encyclopedia Americana, To help other people with the disease --both his brother and his daughter had it --and to test his own ideas, Dr. Trudeau set up the first successful tuber- culosis hospital at Saranac Lake, New York, When the National Tubercul- osis Association was founded in 1904, its first president was Dr. Trudeau, About the same time, far across the sea in Denmark, a Danish postal worker, Elnar Holboell, had the idea ofsell- ing penny seals to put on pack- ages at Christmas, to remind people to help sick and needy children suffering from tuber- culosis. The King of Denmark ap- proved the idea and the world's first Christmas seal sale took place in 1904. Meanwhile, on the banks of the Brandywine River in Dela- ware, a group of doctors had built a small hospital to be used for treating tuberculosis. When it became apparent. that the project would die for lack of funds a cousin of one of the doctors came to the rescue, Miss Emily Bissell, a Red Cross worker, had read a magazine article about the successful Christmas seal idea in Denmark. Miss Bissell set to work and drew the design for the first American Christmas seal, Around. Christmas time in 1907, the first stamps went on sale in the Wilmington, Del, , post of- fice. White Gifts BLUEVALE-White Gift Sun- day was observed in the United Church on Sunday morning with Rev. G. C. Mitchell conducting the service. Mr. Mitchell enlarged on the Christmas theme, the story of Christ's coming with its pro- found effect on the lives of men. The choir led in the singing of carols, with Mrs. Carl John- ston at the organ. Responses were given and Douglas Gar- niss read the Scripture from Matthew. Classes of the Sunday Schou with their teachers, were seat- ed in the centre of the church and went forward to present their white gifts. Lighted Christmas trees graced the church for the oe, rasion.
