CHRIST IS BORN IN A MANGER From THE LIVING BIBLE About this time Caesar Augustus, the Roman Em- peror, decreed that a census should be taken through- otit the nation. (This census was taken when Quirin- ius was governor of Syria.) • Everyone was required to. return to his ancestral . home for this registration. And because Joseph was a member of the royal line, he had tO.go to Bethle- hem in Judea, King David's ancient home--jOurpey-, ing there from the Galilean village of Nazareth. He took Mary, his fiancee, who was obviously pregnant by this time. And- while they were there, the time came for her baby to be born; and she gave birth to her first child, a son. She wrapped him in a blanket and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the village inn. . Illustrations from TAYLOR'S BIBLE STORY BOOK r" UC executive asks for policy study The sudden suspension on November grd, 1972, of Canada's immigration policy allowing immigrants to apply forAandfirbimmigrantw status upon entering this country, has caused hardship to many who entered Canada in good faith and in some cases spent- their life's savings, in getting here, said the Executive of the United Church's General Coun- cil, which met here last week. `.'They now find themselves prohibited from getting a job, unable to get support for the necessities of life and unable, in many cases, to return home, and with little to which they may return," said a committee statement to which the Church Executive gave its endor- s• ement. A five-part resolution at the end of the statement was also given, approval. ft asked the federalgovernment to "re- examine its present policy in the light of the situation outlined;. to allow those who came to Canada on or before November 3rd, 1972, in accor- dance with section 34 of the im- migration regulation, to con- tinue as visitors and make aP- plication within our country; to make public to persons who may be seeking admission to Canada what the facts of the situation are, through con- sulates in countries where „we have no immigration offices, or by whatever means is most feasible; to open immigration offices in developing countries wherever this is practical in order to inform people from these_placesbout Sanad.A.

"Plumbing inspection should be carried out through the building office in order that all inspections may be co- ordinated." wrote Breckenridge. "I think it is a good idea," said Mayor Harry Worse'', himself a plumber, The matter will be studied by the Administrative Committee this week and a brief prepared.

And future needs; study alternative ap- proaches related to these needs; and, make recornmen- dations to the 'Solicitor General, • Specific matters to be examined will include: 1.

Cunningham, assistant to. the vice-president of Western Area of Bell Canada that Bell, South Bruce Rural Telephone Ltd., Maittand Teleservices and Wightman Telephone have reached a tentative. service agreement on extended area r seniicefor the fall of 1975. The - announcement was made -Thursday night at the regular meeting .of the. Huron Federation of Agriculture. The agreement would give toll-free service between Wingham- Teeswater; Wingham-Gorrie; Wingham-Blyth, Brussels and Auburn. Total estimated cost .of the project is $350,000. Of this amount, South Bruce will pay $35,000; Wightman Telephone, $46,000; Maitland, $45,500 and Bell Canada, $225000. • The telephone companies will canvass their customers in' late 1973 to determine if the majority of their Ccustgmers desire expanded toll-free ser- vices. Agriculture became involved in the fight for larger toll areas in the summer of 1971 when a committee was set up and petition; diitributed. Response was heavy and the committee began negotiations with the telephone ,companies. Their request was that each telephone customer be able to call customers in all adjoining telephone exchanges. Earlier this year the telephone cam- paqies had given a virtual no to the requests and negotiations were only started again when the Federation requested the aid of Murray Gaunt, M.P.P. for Huron-Bruce.Jack Stafford, a member of the telephone committee said most of the progress was made in a meeting held with all telephone com- pany representatives at Belgrave recently. Mason Bailey, president of the Federation said he realized that far less was being offered than had been asked for. He said people in the Blyth - Auburn area would be especially 'unhappy -because they wanted service to Clinton more than Wingham, The Federation of It was half a loaf, he said, 'IrMPVA'VAV:AV;NVA'AVAVAWtVAVAVAVAV=*'VAVAVA'VAVAV4T Looking for Something • NEW for Christmas? •, but it was better than nothing. He said the fight proved that the Federation must learn not to take no for an answer.' If it had done this, he said, the toll- free areas would not have been enlarged at all. The larger area will cost the average telephone subscriber - about 10 cents' per month. When You Shop Say— I SAW.
