SAVINGS BOND PURCHASES HIGHEST IN AREA'S HISTORY Purchases of Canada Savings Bonds by employees of payroll establishments in this area pro- duced the largest total in his- tory. The area, known as BlueWater Division, takes in the towns of Durham, Meaford, Collingwook, Hanover, Walker- ton, Wingham, Southampton, Port Elgin, Kincardine, Goder- ich, Markdale, Mount Forest, Harriston, Palmerston, Orange- ville and Owen Sourid. Total purcha?!.^ ,..nounted to $1,105,000 which was 122.30/0 quota set by the Bank of Canada. Percy Blackshaw of Owen Sound, payroll supervisor for the Bank, has stated that this area should rank second in Ontario in per- centage of increase. Thirty- two establishments exceeded last year's high totals. Mr. Blackshaw gives all the credit for such a fine result to the support of management during the campaign and the effort of campaign directors and canvassers in the various plants and establishments.

BELNAVE -Mr. and Mrs. Ross Hanna of Listowel visited with Mr. and Mrs, Clarence Hanna on Sunday. Carolers were once dancers The first Christmas carols were danced to, according to Encyclopedia International, Carolers took hands and formed a ring, singing as they went round. Oldest of all carols, it has been said, was that sung by the heavenly host when the birth of the Saviour was announced ro the shepherds on the plains of Bethlehem. Probably, the practice of singing carols at Christmas arose in imitation of this, as the majority of carols declared the good tid- ings of great joy, and the title of Noel, nowell or no- velle, applied to carols, would seem to bear out this idea. 0, A.
