Stir in a few short calls on friends on way home, Put hus- band gently inside door at one a.m. Christmas morning — and you get your Christmas punch, right between the eyes: It is considered only sporting, if you feel like retaliating, to wait until Boxing Day. April, June and Christmas, At least it seems -„that w.ay• ' About the middle of Novem: bei, the advertising swings into high gear. We are implored to buy "a gift to enchant her" -- like a dainty electric shover. Or something "he,,, really needs" -- ike a •tastefully -wrapped bot- tle of dandruff remover. Around the same time, the "Christmas music" begins. We are warned- that Santa ..Claus is ed. 18 times a days, •to listen, through the thunder of traffic and the snarl of aircraft, for nine jir,'gle bells. • We are told, for 20 , s b;, �i'e Chyi tin that some .y .saw manza'- } ing• Santa Maus last night. `It makes you feel all sort of sac - ed and . . • well, you know.

Called "Conjugation of Irre- ".gular Verbs," it was invented i by Bertrand Russell. • It goes like this:, the player is given ;• an irregular verb; he" conjug- ates it. Example: "I am 'firm; you are obstinate; he is a pig- headed fool." - • Get the idea? Ietrs 'try 'another. .� .... Ready? "I • am witty and sparkling. You are unusually talkative.

This sort party' off the ground. f1Y p` u .......... � Now, how about some Christ- mas definitions, so 'that you 4g; won't be misled, by a lot of cliches that have sprung up around the sacred and joyous ocasion. "And 10, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was." Matthew 2:9. "And they ,came, witih haste, and found Mary, and Joseph and the Babe lying in' a man- ger.", Luke 2:16. ,' From two who became °ills disciples came the words that tell the story oL that Holy Night, the first Christmas. Matthew the tax collector wrote of the Star. that shone in the east, and of wise men wl o followed it to find ~and worship Him., Luke the physician wrote of shepherds watching min the fields and herald angels singing in the heavens. At church services during this Christmas season the words of the tax "collector and the physician will be read and stud: ied once again, with ever -deep- ening meaning. And as the story is told 'a- new, it is also reflected in the many observances of Christmas, both in churches and in holmes. The joyful sotind of carols harks back to the hist of all carols, the words of the heav- enly hest, "Gl'ory' fo God in the highest, and on earth peace, .good will toward men," The glow of eandles syn rbo1- izes the birth Q. Christ • as the Light of the World, and it also mirrors the eternal gleam of the Star of Bethlehem•. The spirit of giving takes gaidance from the g'i'fts of the Wise Men who brought ,gold, frankincense and snyrrbb'to 'Him. A,bave all, at Christmas, man- kindexperiences once again the reversence, wonder and rejoic- ing of the wise men, of whom Matthew says: "And when ',they were come into the house, they saw the young Child and Mary His mo; ther, and fell down and war- shippped, Him." The Past NODIe Granas Club of ,the Rebekah Lodge held its Ohristmas meeting at the home of Mrs. -Frank Bowra with an attendance of 19 member's.- The president, Mrs. Kenneth Bell, was' in charge. • Following the singing -of ."The Ode" there was a short business session. The visiting commit- tee called . on members who were ill or bereaved. Members presented their talent money. It was decided to send gifts to 1 bi tyro members at'ChxstalltS' time.
