Rich and Poor
Mingled During
English Yule
During the 1400s and 15QOs
before the Puritans got the up,,
per hand, the golden age of
English hospitality reigned, At
Christmas time castles and man-
or houses were filled with guests
by the score and the hundred.
Kinsmen and neighbours
were there and on certain days
the tradesmen and tenants, for
all were equal at this season.
The 'ostler could dance with the
mistress if he had the nerve to
ask her. And. he usually had--
after the wassail.
The great halls were a din
of geniality. There was light--
almost enough to pierce the
wood smoke, And there were
the savory aromas: Roasting
beef, roasting mutton, fowl
and brawn (the flesh of the wild
pig, which had been caught and
fed good grain to the point of
arousing his suspicions; too late,
of course).
The dark ale flowed and ad-
ded its voice--by proxy -- to
heighten the noise. At the peak
of all this there was brought in
the Yule log- -a relic, incident-
ally of the Scandinavians' pagan
worship of Thor. With a brand
from last year's log the new one
was fired.
The light from these roaring
flames would shine out through
portals opened to the knocks of
the caroling and wasailling who
more often than not, were
brought into the hall to eat of
nutmeg cakes and brawn and
mustard.
EARLY BANKER
While it is possible that a
merchant or a public scribe
founded the institution of bank-
ing, it is generally believed an
English jeweler pioneered this
Vocation. Sir Francis Child, a
17th century goldsmith who
lent large sums of money to the
government, is credited with
being the first to convert this
trade to a banking enterprise.
He is often called the "fatherof
the profession of banking".

Frank King
My Sincere Thanks--
I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY
APPRECIATION TO THE PEOPLE OF
WINGHAM FOR THE CONFIDENCE
THEY HAVE SHOWN BY RETURNING
ME AS MAYOR OF THE TOWN BY
ACCLAMATION.
Please be assured that I will spare
no effort to serve you faithfully
during 1967-68.
Yours sincerely,
DeWitt Miller
My Heartiest Thanks
Go to the three hundred and seventy-one pro-
gressive electors of the Town of Wingham who de-
cided to support me in my endeavour to become a
member of the town council.
To those who prefer the "status quo," and shun
any change of the established order, my deepest
sympathy. They will have to endure their choice
of mediocrity, which for the past has prevented any
progressive development of their town.
A town without vision is like a burial ground,
a perfect cemetery covered with well tended carpet
of sod.
Unfortunately, this is the present picture of
Wingham, and it will remain so for another two years
at least. And to add to their disappointment, they
will not avoid any increase in taxes levied by the
municipality in the future,

Christmas party
at CWL meeting
The Sacred Heart C. W.L.
held its monthly meeting on
Monday with Mrs, C, Desrnar-
aiS presiding,
It was decided to remember
the past members and sliutina
again this Christmas, Six stock-
ings will be filled and deliver-
ed to the patients at the OntariO
Hospital in Goderich.
After the meeting a Christ-
mas party was enjoyed by the
,nembers present. Cards were
played and there was an ex-
change of gifts. A delicious
pot luck supper was served.
CHRISTMAS TOO MERRY
Christmas celebrations once
were so rowdy that the Puritans
in. England in the early 1640's
legally forbade the observance
of Christmas.
Glenn Sellers; Unit 3 pres. , Mrs.
1. V. Fischer; Unit 4 pres. , Mrs.
Kenneth Johnston,
Mrs. Chas, Campbell pre-
sided for a Christmas program.
Scripture was read by Mrs. J.
Nicholson and " Angels from the
Realms of Glory" and "Silent
Night" were sung,
The poem, "The Continuing
Christ", was read by Mrs. J.C.
Johnston and Mrs. Chas.Camp-
bell read "The Christmas Road
Leads to an Inn". Mrs. W. J.
Peacock offered prayer and
Mrs. Mel Craig gave the clos-
ing prayer.
The use of Xmas for Christ-
mas originated in the early
Christian Church, reports World
Book Encyclopedia. In Greek,
X is the first letter of Christ's
name. It often was used as a
holy symbol.
