HURONVIEW - It is beginning to look a lot
like Christmas at Huronview_ The theme
has been carried out with drawings on the
windows, and decorated trees are
everywhere. Outside the home, brightly col-
ored lights are gleaming and extending a
warm welcome to everyone.
One of the happiest times of the holiday
season is the family gathering around the
Christmas tree. The lights ... decorations ...
even the kind of tree we use are all parts of
traditions that have come to us from many
parts of the world. It is said that Martin
Luther began the practice of lighting a tree.
He used candles, hanging from branches, to
represent the stars on Christmas Eve.
Everywhere, the tree is looked upon as one
of the merriest customs of the Christmas
seasons.

Arts an
have aleady begun to sing the carols. They
are beautiful both in song and music and it
seems a shame that they are sung, for such
a short period. Perhaps if they were used
more often, the real meaning of Christmas
would stay longer.
Last Sunday at the worship service, the
choir sang an anthem. In the afternoon
along with Dr. Toll's band, residents had the
pleasure again this year, of listening to the
bells. The bell ringers are a group of young
men from St. Andrew's Church in Wingham.
The leader off these talented musicians is
Mr. Gordon Leggatt. They played a medley
of Christmas carols on the bells, and was
much enjoyed.
This coming week promises to be busy
one, as the Festive Day approaches.
Residents are looking forward to the con-
certs that will be presented.
1 Christmas
On Dec. 11, Worship service was held in

There was a very good attendance. In the

enjoyed and residents appreciated their
coming, especially at the Christmas season.

soprano soloist, Joy Harrison; violinist,
Mabel Gray; pianist, Joan Henwood;
baritone soloist, Ralph Henderson; piano
soloist, Helen Bryans of Mitchell.
We extend a warm welcome to Mrs. Reta
Ladd of Clinton, Mr. Wilson Morley of Ex-
eter, Mr. Jeremiah McMyler of Goderich,

To the families of the late Georgina Ryan,
Myrtle McNaughton and Luella Cox, we
convey our sincere sympathy.
crafts can be dangerous
Arts and crafts are supposed to be good
for you; but they could make you sick if you
use materials with which you're not
familiar, says the Industrial Accident
Prevention Association.
Many of the materials people use in arts
and crafts are hazardous; potters glazing
materials, darkroom chemicals, paints,
spray s lvents may be toxic or even cancer
producii
'1'o be sure your hobbies don't cause in-
juries, [APA suggests you check these
points when you take up a hobby.
• Read up on the hobby, material that will
be used, and check for any hazards involved
with the materials.
• Never use sprays in an unventilated
area.
• Avoid plastic kits that use vinyl chloride
as a solvent.
• Be extra careful when material is
heated.
• Avoid materials containing asbestos or
lead.
• Wear a proper respirator if you are us-
ing clay or paint pigments.
• After any hobby session, clean up with a
damp mop or cloth.
Move furniture with care
Holiday decorating usually means rear-
ranging furniture. No matter how slight, the
Ontario Safety League asks you to make
sure any elderly or disabled members of
your family are fully aware of the changes.
