IoveIy spot to visit
At this time every yeah . at
Greenfield Village, it begins to
look a lot like Christmas. But
Christmas with a dif-
ference. it'a Christmas out of
the past with all the warmth
andtradition it used to have.
At Greenfield Village, Christ-
mas always meanssleigh bells
and °'candles, holiday cookies.
and hot, spicy cider, old
fashioned trees and stockings
hung by the chimneys with care.
Beginning' December 9, • all
.these traditions .of Christmas
past and . more come alive at
the Village. Red -berried holly,
poinsettias, fragrant candles
, and garlands of greens decorate
many of the Village homes just
as they did when the. original
occupants lived in ..them. The

soft stra,in.sof appropriate
Yuletide music and ,fires
glowing in the fireplaces add to
the charm, while some of the
kitchens are fragrant with the
aroma of Christmas cookery.
The Christmas finery traces
300. years of holiday
decoration. At the seventeenth -
century Cotswold Cottage, a
Yule log greets visitors at the
door. In the Noah Webster
House, the entrance hall is
decked with a wealth of cedar
. roping and boxwood. The Ann
Arbor House boasts a festive
table set for typical nineteenth-
century New. Year's Day
hospitality with a gleaming
punch bowl, tempting cakes,
tarts, candies and nuts. A, real
Victorian Christmas is re-
created at the Sarah Jordan
Boarding House with a typical
over -abundance of greens hung
around the pictures, draped
along the ceiling molding, stuf-
fed in vases and strewn on
tables. Throughout, tradition
prevails authenticated by
careful research.
Families visiting Greenfield
Village at Christmas experience
today the Christmases their an-
cestors knew. Everywhere they
encounter the flavor of bygone
holidays. In the streets, -groups
of strolling carolers sing the
-.timeless sonTMgs of Christmas.

Puss in Boots coming to
the Family Theatre
The traditional Mothei
Goose tale "Puss in Boots"
comes to life in.a fanciful new
version for the Christmas -
season on the stage of the
Henry Ford Museum Theater.
It is being presented . by the
° Greenfield Village, Players too
recall the days when eatrical
"pageants" were an integral
--..part of the holiday scene:
In reviving this delightful
'0. notion from the past, 'Kenneth
Chomet, a ' Player's regular,
has written a charming script,
full of the joy and spirit of the
season. His original music and
lyrics complement the.. exciting
plot and add to the fun.
In this version, the in-
domitable Puss faithfully ser-
ves his master Foofarello
through a series of adventures
in which he is swindled out of
his inheritance ,and travels cto
Big City and encounters `with a
lovely Princess and her wicked
Lord Protector, a smooth -
talking medicine man -magician
and., finally, a three -headed
ogre.
The stage is peopled by a'
host of other delightful charac-
ters, as well. As in all good
?airy tales, Foofarello diacovexsi
he has a fairy godmother, a
member of the fairy god-
mother's union, who is of only
minimal assistance because
"sometimes a person's better
for trials." His two brothers,
appropriately named Bovinus
and Dandini are the main
cause of most of these, trials,
but, he gets help from a magic,
water pump that dispenses
coins in addition to water and
other kind souls.
•Eye -filling; spectacle. 'livens
the `plot throughout. The
medicine man makes his first
entrance in a balloon from out
of the sky, thunder and flashing
lightning accompany every ap-
pearance of the dreaded ogre,
doors open and close by them-
selves and at one point, a huge
dragon breathing smoke and
fire fills the stage.

physical restoration centre with
strong emphasis on vocational
rehabilitation.

of its kind e,quipped and staffed

treatment of their particular in-
jury, plus a full range of

An injured workman ,receives
medical or hospital treatment
from his own doctor and .at a
hospital in his own locality,
with all expenses paid under
Workmen's Compensation Act.
However, for more serious in-
juries, the entire capability of
the WCB Downsview Centre
and its staff is at his disposal.
It is an integral part of the
protective package financed 'by
assessments paid by Ontario in-
dustries under the Act, with no
direct charge to workers or tax -
The Rehabilitation Centre at
Downsview opened July 1,
1958, and is the outgrowth of
the Board's first medical
rehabilitation clinic set up in a
single room in 1932. It grew out
of the Board's determination to
ensure_that the proince .more_
seriously injured workmen
would receive any special type
of treatment their injury might
need from experts with a wide
background of experience in
dealing with their' particular
requirements.
The Centres includes a 180 -
bed -Hospital Sectionfor
patients needing convalescent
hospital care, and a Clinic Sec-
tion which can accommodate
340 up -patients who require
supervised physical, oc-
cupational therapy and
remedial gymnastics, to restore
function to the injured part of
the ,body. An additional 69
patients living in the Metro
Toronto area come to 'the Cen-
tre as out-patients for a full
day's treatment. Activity, not
rest, is the keynote.
