Hope custom will last for many more years A few weeks before Christmas, 1 Zion and one that I hope will last read a letter to the editor of another years to come. in Saskatchewan, Ethel and Clarence were our nearest neighbours. The% were a hard up, young couple who produced a beautiful baby almost every year. but even though they were poor, their tiny, gray, frame house was always open. especially to other children. Ethel's gay, infectious laughter. and Clarence's gentle op - were many, many more, all bringing the sending of cards. it us happy memories of the past or warm wishes for the present. I never tire of going through the cards and keep thenipiled in the green glass bowl well into February and since 1 find it impossible to throw then out. they are bundled up and put away. Today. I took down live newspaper from a man who decried the custom of sending Christmas cards. He thought it a foolish waste of money to mail cards to people we really don't care about. and an hipocracy to receive cards from peo- ple who don't care about us. I don't know who his friends are.. it wouldn't surprise me if the poor fellow doesn't have any. For my part. I think sending Christmas cards is one of the most important things we do. each year. No matter how rushed the season. somehow. my husband Art and 1 find time to get the cards addressed and mailed well before Christmas, sen- ding out our good wishes and friend- ly thoughts to people we may not have seen for years. Of course, I admit there's an ulterior motive: if we send cards. we'll get cards and nothing brightens my life more than receiv- ing greetings from old and new friends. Although the generation before me is dropping off. cards still arrive from people who reach away back to my childhood. like the one from Clarence and Ethel. When I was a small child MR. AND MRS. ERNIE LOBB Helen Wilma Jacobs and Ernest William Lobb were united in mar- riage on November 30, 1984 at St. Josephs Catholic Church in Clin- ton with Rev. Father John Pluto officiating. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Jacobs, Zurich and the groom's parents are Mr. and Mrs. James Lobb, Clinton. Linda Roberts was the maid of honour. Bridesmaids were Wilma and Kathy Jacobs. The best manwas Tom Lobb and ushers were Peter Jacobs and Lloyd Crich. Following a honey- moon in Kentucky the couple ore residing at RR 2 Clinton. It Seems to me... timism made their place a haven. Cards have come from them to my family for over 45 years, full of news of their large family, many of whom went on to great things. This year, however, only Ethel signed the card. Clarence having died last fall. Still, as I read it, with tears in my eyes, there was more joy than sadness. Then. there are greetings from old school friends like the one from Shirley, who married an Aussie air- man and moved to Australia at the end of the war. This year, her card showed a puzzled looking Santa being drawn through a hot, dry landscape by even more bewildered looking kangeroos. Friends in Malaysia always send an elegant card in a gold - lined envelope. It surprised us, this year, by playing "Jingle Bells" when we opened it. From Koyoko, in Japan, came another lovely card with cute children in kimonas and wooden clogs playing in deep snow. Cards with old world paintings and traditional messages arrived from English cousins. But, of course, most of our cards come from friends in various parts of Canada. How nice' it was to be remembered by two former ministers who played a large part in our lives when we were a young couple raising Our children. A tiny granddaughter, living 1300 miles away, sent a hand- made card with "Mery Crismas" and "I Luv You" in lopsided printing run- ning off the page. There was one from a great fellow, who though very friendly is not too bright, and who always struggles with my name. His card arrived addressed to "Giem" and Art. A boy who lived across the street from us, many years ago, and who now has his own home and family in- cluded a newsy letter with his card. A dear lady, now in her late 70s, who was the social worker when we adopted our daughter, always remembers us at Christmas.

Still. the good memories linger on. So, contrary to the beliefs of the man who wrote to the editor belittling MR. AND MRS.
