There was °, fun of opening gifts from tumid the. tree, the excitement of play ing with the new, toys with -my sister, and the " final, tingling mystery of the visit of Santa Claus! Things have changed grown older. Although opening, presents is very exciting, it's not' the momentous experience it once was. No longer am I, thrilled by , a doll "with -lots and lots.„ of clothes." And I know "Santa .Claus" comes only to boys 404 girls. But Christmas is still a magical time for me. Christmas caroing and Christmas concerts are pad: of the holiday. Buying gifts for others and trying to foolproof them against sneaky fingers is a challenge. And one of the hap- piest times is seeing a person's face light up when they open a gift -- "It's just what'- wanted." Christmasis a feeling. Christmas is standing in line at p store waiting to buy a gift for someone special. Christmas is TRALEE,.

The Attorney General has call- ed for a crackdown on drinking drivers, to include raising the drinking and driving ages, with stiff penalties, ipcluding jail, for, offenders. He has said that the public., 'may be running Out of sympathy for the &Link Who slips behind the wheel." Crown' Attor- neys' have, apparently,, been in- structed to nstructedto ask judges to toughen sentences for drinking drivers, to make the penalties much heav- ier, and has suggested giving the police power to set up roadblocks to check drivers, plus the ar- bitrary suspension of licences for 24 hours, whenever the police consider a driver has had too much to drink. The proposed measures, which are expected to be introduced in the Legislature early in 1976, would give the police considerable discretionary power, and twill be similar • to existing:laws in British Columbia •and Alberta. Opposition Leader Stephen Lewis has indicated tentative en- dorsement of the Attorney -Gen- eral's proposals, saying the "idea doesn't seem to me to be a ter- rible violation of civil liberties", while Liberal Leader Robert Nixon' is "concerned about giving police too much discretionary power", even though obviously something must be done about drihktng drivers. Ontario's Bill 5, requiring most stores to close on Sundays and holidays, has been passed in the Legislature. The legislation will be a little easier on drug stores, allowing them to open on Sunday if they employ no more than four persons on that day. However, the stores must sell only drugs, hygiene products and sundries on Sunday. Stores will be allowed to open Sunday if they close on Saturday for religious reasons -- although the Legislature agreed to strike the reference to religion from the Bill because it might be considered unconstitutional: New Democrats and Liberals forced a change in the legislation which will require pet shops to close. Stores which will be exempt from the provisions of the Bill are small grocery stores, milk stores, news and tobacco stands and antique and handi- craft shops. The selling area in all these must be less than 2400 square feet and they must em- ploy no more than three persons in the store on Sundays and holi- days.

A JOYOUS'TIME OF YEAR It is a joyous time of year: The snow, the carols, and Santa's reindeer; For a few short days the world's at peace, And all confrontations for a time will cease. People are friendly and say hello, Some are strangers and some we know, The spirit of Christmas rides tall and proud, And the bells in the steeple chime sharp and loud. Every tradition, custom and trait Had its beginning at some early date, The world was changed one star- ry night, When a Babe was born in the pale moonlight. • The little Babe's fame spread throughout the land, He changed people's lives with the touch of His hand, So now we hear as a sweet voice rings, The praising of man, the King of Kings.
