Matthevf Bt Dymond, MDk,CM.
Ontoriq Minister .of Health
To help you to remove these con-
ditions before they lead to fire,
your Department of Health offers
some precautions to take when
.some
your home for Chr4t-
mas.
When you choose a tree, pick
a green one that hasn't dried out.
Make a fresh cut on the trunk
and stand it in water until you
set it up. Then use a tree -stand
thatholds water, and remember
to keep it filled with water, Place
the treewell away from candles,
radiators or electrical appliances
and other sources of heat.
Always check last year''s colored
lights to see that cords are not
worn. When buying new ones
like sure they are marked ap-
proved by CSA (Canadian Stand-
ards Association). If you plan to
decorate the outside of your,
house, use lights especially in-
sulated for outdoor use.
Christmas should be a peace-
ful and happy time for the fancily,
but all too often it is marred by
a tragic accident. For at this time
of year there are more hazards
in our home .,than at any other,
and . most of them constitute a
fire danger:
The Ontario Safety League sug-
gests that we may frequently in-
vite accidents to our . Christmas
festivities, in the form of poorly
wired colored lights, frayed cords,
overloaded . electrie-.circuits-•-anti
candles, to mention a few.
The Christmas tree and trim-
mings provide ready kindling for
a fire, should a hazardous electri-
cal condition exist in the home.
o
Other tree trimmings are im-
por)ant, as well. The glass wool
or asbestos type of "snow", for
example, is far safer than cotton.
Reflectors on lights help to keep
heated bulbs away from direct
contact with the branches.
If you overload a circuit with
all the additional lights used,
you'll soon know 'about . it when
a fuse blows. This fuse is your
safety hive, warning you to re-
distribute the load onto other
circuits. Most homes do • not re:
quire fuses larger than 15 am-
perage, so never replace a blown
fuse with a higher amperage one.
A thorough check of all these
possible -situations, .
correct-
ing them . as' you find them, will
help to assure your whole family
a safe, accident -free Christmas!

ITEMS FROM THE PAST
More Are Going To Universities
But Fewer Chrkstians Coming Out
The challenge to the Christian
Church of higher • education to-
day was the thence of Rev. M,
E. Pinkney, registrar of Reni-
son College, University of
Waterloo, at St. George's Church
Sunday. He was welcomed icy
the rector, Canon Kenneth Tay-
lor, and after morning service
met many parishioners inter-
ested in seeing photos and ob-
taining information about the
college described as belonging
to this area,
"Every man, woman and child,
no matter where they may live,
stands to gain from the full
participation of the Church in
human learning and science,"
said Mr. Pinkney.. "On the
university campus the Church
college is the Church, encourag-
ing students to supplement their
knowledge with faith.
"By 1970, 2X% of all high
school graduates in thiscountry
will be going on to ,university.
In Ontario there are at present
33,000 students in universities
and colleges; in 1970, only eight
years away; there will be well
.over 100,000. There are 1,650
students at Waterloo University,
which five years ago . did nQt
exist, and in 1970 there will be
at least 6,500, Sudbury and
Laurentian . universities are be-
ing added, St. Catharines is in
prospect, Barrie is considering
locating a university there.
Peterborough is proceeding with
plans, and existing universities
are planning massive programs
to make ready for the influx.
Future Leaders
"The Church must maintain
effective contact with men and
women in this crucial and im-
portant period of their lives.
One reason is at the level of
'self-interest: -T-hat -2-1%-I- -have-
mentioned will be our future
leaders — scientists, teachei s,
politicians, businessmen, doc-
tors, lawyers, engineers and so
on—but will they also be the
future Christians and church-
men of our country?
"lVfore and 'more young peo-
ple going to universities and
fewer and fewer Christians
coming out of them. The uni-
versities are one of the great'
missionary fields of the. Church, -
and the battles -of faith on which
the future of the Church de-
pends must' be fought out on
the university campus. In the
Church college we can have a
close faculty -student relation-
ship. Through, the Church Col-
lege, not only for its own•itud-
ents but the larger university
community„there are resources
to help the faith of students
mature and to counter the sup-
erficial.atheisin which develops
in so many students and too
often persists. •
• Adaptation Needed
"Christianity, will not win out
in the struggle for men's minds .
unless it can keep the level of
higher'fearning to which. Chris-
tianity has an indispensable pon-
tribution tit' make, but it also
must learn to adapt itself to
the needs of modern man and
how to express itself and, re-
interpret itself in the thought
form of modern man. Chris-
tianity is not a static thing; it
must keep in touch with the
discoveries • and advances of
man's mind and of science, and
to do that intelligently and fully
it must be on the scene where
matsi,l mind is growing and

Revival meetings were being

time to spend Christmas at St.

where knowledgyt isadvancing
in the universities.
"The . Church must be con-
cerned about higher education.
It is possible and necessary in
1962 to talk about education in
our community and province
and country in a way it has
never been possible before, be-
cause there is ever-increasing
need that our young people con-
tinue lohger and longer in form-
al education institutions in or-
der to be equipped for the new
world that is coming into being.
"Knowledge and learning
without faith, and morals can
be a very dangerous thing. We
live in an .age when the times
have given man great know-
ledge concerning man, and its'
which technology • -has, placed
great skill and power in man's
hands for the shaping of the
world and human society. How
is that to ' be used—all that
great fund of knowledge and
skill which modern science and
learning have made available?
All the most advanced discov-
er},es of skill and power science
had put in the hands of man 'ftp
to 1939 were used by a great
nation, Germany, hi order to
see the domination of the world
and gain the triumph of the
German, people as an Aryan
race, contrary to our Biblical
concepts of man. .
"Education brings wide scope
for accumulation of power and
wealth. Is it to be used selfish-
ly, destructively, or in the ser-
vice of the community and of
Christian purpose? The Church
must be in a position to hold
before students training in our
universities for every' walk of
life God's great purposes fa}'
mankind, and to encourage
them to dedicate their linow-
ledge and skill to building God's
kingi ons of love among poen
injustice
and not add to world inJ
and misery through a selfish
lust for wealth and power. One
of the strategic positions the
Church must and can keep is
in the universities, and --there
seek to exercise a strong Chris-
tian influence right on the ..scene
where our nation's 'scientists,
technicians, thinkers and lead-
ers. are bein • trained."

There's A
on the part of the reporter, who
omitted the remarks of School
Trustee Grant MacPhee.
Although Mr. MacPhee's re-
marks 'were faithfully recorded
in the reporter's notes, they
were inadvertently passed by
in transcribing, with the result
that the impression was given
that Mr. MacPhee was not pre-
sent,
Mr. MacPhee was indeed pre-
sent, and in his -remarks to the
ratepayers, first of all thanked
his nominator and seconder and
indicated that he had enjoyed
his work on the school board
during his two=year term. He
expressed the hope that he had
made the right decisions and
worked to the benefit of every-
one concerned. He said that
at the present time the board
faces problems that may con-
tinue for a period of three or
four years. Saltford and Ben -
miller schools are crowded„ and
there bas been an unexpected
influx
of -new residents moving
g
out to the township fxoizt. Gode-.
rich. He indicated that in the
event of an election, he would
stand for ,return to the board.
The Signal -Star regrets any
misunderstanding that may have
arisen as the result of , this
error, and congratulates lates Mr.
MacPhee on his return to office
for another two-year term. ,

helpers, helping to dole out
more than 1,700 pounds of
treats.

of the councillors were on hand

maker by trade. A few steam
engines of an extremely inefiSic-
ient primitiveness existed be-
fore Watt's time. However, it
was his idea to make the con-
denser a separate unit, turning
the engine into a much more
effective device, The "watt"
and "kilowatt" uni$ of power
are named in his bettor. Watt
also invented many other im-
provements inithe steam engine.
