hritmn. as is .approaching quickly,
and Christmas shopping is on the
o-
minds of everyone.
How many parents have thought that
their children have enough toys, that
they dont play with the ones 'they've
got. How many times have you bought
them" something, just to stop them
from whining?
How many people ; take time with
their Christmas shopping. and buy
something special, that they know the
other person would appreciate?
What would your family do, if you
told them that they were only getting
one thing for Christmas, and that the
rest of the gifts were going to someone
that otherwise wouldn't receive any?
If you and your family are not willing
to go that far at Christmas, there is
another alternative that might teach
your children something about
Christmas, besides getting presents.
How many people do you know, that
are atone. that have noJantfty? Have
you ever thought of inviting them to
spend Christmas Eve and Christmas
Day with you.? Wouldn't that make you
feel you were really doing something
good at Christmas and wouldn't that
teach your children that there ; s
something else at Christmas, besides
gift getting?
It you've mentioned either one of
these plans to your family. and they
think it's a good idea, you haven't
much to worry, about. It your family
!Vs at you and tells you you're crazy.
then it's . time they were taught not to
be so selfish.
Selfish children turn into narrow
minded and self-centered adults. - by

Land use planning in this part of
Or►tario has long been synonymous for
a dirty word, It has, by many, been
equated with dictatorship or socialism,
but after a twwo-day seminar last week
at Brucefield on land use. can we really
afford to continue this attitude.
Many in the past have said that to
retain our democracy, people must be
free to do whatever they wish with
their land whenever they wish and
there shouldn't be any government
controls to halt that.
But many of the speakers at the
set 1nar sponsored by the Huron -Perth
Presbytery of 'the United Church say
this attitude must change. "
How long can we continue to allow
unchecked growth on good agricultural
land? How long can we continue to
gabble up the acres or take them out of
production before it is too late and we
find we can't even grcr our own food?
It is surprising to Learn. for instance,
that there is more and better land in
Tuckersrmith Township alone, than in
the entire province of Nova Scotia.
And with everyone wanting a little
place in the country with the attitude
**what's a few acres" how does our
future look? Grim!
Prime agricultural land in Canada is
one of the most valuable natural
resources we have,, and no new land is
being created so we've got to learn to
use, properly the land we have now.
Safe Driving Week. 1975, tells us that
winter cannot be far behindif indeed
it has not. already arrived in many
parts of Canada.
• It is consequently a time when every
driver must make sameadjustments to
driving habits in order to survive - and
in today's traffic survival is the name
of the gale, according to the Canada
Safety Council.
The, biggest single adjustment is
probably the downward adjustment in
s - the ability to not only anticipate
stops, but to bre able to stop when the
need arises. Mother adjustment we
must all make. is to allow time each
morning (if the car is parked outside)
to clean frost and snow from ALL
windows to ensbre good visibility. A six
by four inch patch on a rear window
'laboriously' cleared of snow or ice is
worse than useless.
The Council has one new visibility tip
for Canadian drivers. When clearing
snow from the rear window. take an
extra moment or two and brush it from
the roof as well. ,This will prevent the
wind moving it back onto the window
as soon as the car is driven,
risibility is all important! Keep the
windows clear, and, with these dark -
evenings, Make sure all the vehicle
lights work every time the car is
driven.

townships — Mullett among
