THE happiest and kindliest
season of the year is fast ap-
proaching . . . And with more
appropriate weather - Canadian
style you can certainly feel,
if not actually see the spirit of
Christmas invading the hearts and
souls of everyone around , ,
r * *
THESE several weeks prior to
the "day of days" are filled with
the bustle and activity of pre -
partition . . . the fun of choosing
just the right present for be-
loved friends and relatives , . ,
the extra work for happy family
reunions ... Then too, there are
numerous pre -Christmas events
that year after year, we all look
forward to as a part of this sea-
son which lifts us up from the
humdrum, worried existence of
our modern life, into .a magical
never-never land where peace
and good -will toward our fellow
man invades our hearts and
homes . . Oh, that this season
could last the year round -and in
all parts of the world , ,

'PRE -CHRISTMAS events in

and are for old and young alike
There are church services
with all the beauty and inspira-
tion of this season at its best ,
Practically every organization,
whither connected with t he
church or civic, has its Christmas
party -often accompanied with
exchange of gifts -and always in-
cluding carol singing . , ,
A * ,K
THE social whirl gets into full
swing this time of year, for it
is just one expression of a desire
to see and talk to old friends
and new .
a a a
INDEED, this is one of the
few times in the year, when the
gals and ladies are able to wear
"formals" -what with the Col-
legiate Christmas dance and 'the
Hospital Auxiliary's Christmas
Ball, both in the near future .. .
And what gal, either young or
old; exists, who does not love to
get "dressed up"? Then, if
ever, she is at her best and all
set to make the most ofa joy-
ous occasion - .
AT the Officers' Mess at the
RCAF Station Saturday evening,
a pre -Christmas formal dance
honored the graduates of TCO 7
The lounge of the mess, as
usual, was most attractively de-
corated with streamers, balloons
-the latter placed to form : the
initials of TCO 7 and a farewell
in letters on the opposite wall
We cannot remember when
we have seen so many attractive
and smart gowns as were in evi-
dence , . Against a background
of the' officers in their formal
dress attire and civilians in white
tie and tails, the brocades, taf-
fetas, nylon net and satin of the
graceful gowns of the ladies, made
a colorful sight . Some of
our gentlemen readers (if we
have any)/ are going to resent
that idea of being a mere back-
ground . But gentlemen, you
must admit that you cannot com-
pete with your wife or the other
ladies on an occasion like this
It was a very gala evening
and a delightful introduction to
the Christmas season of parties..
a a a
WE always have boasted that
we never have seen a mouse -or -
rat in the house since we owned
a cat ... But we'll have to take
that back , , . A short time ego
we were interrupted by Pandora
(an almost Persian) scratching at
the door to come in . We
opened the door for her and she
tore in madly and dashed for
the nearest bedroom, with Cleo-
patra (a real Siamese)_ sensing
some excitement, racing after
her . . . We followed at a slower
pace and found her under the
bed with e mbuse wiggling in
her mouth and Cleopatra trying
to take it away from her , ,
a :r a
EVENTUALLY Pandora releas-
ed the mouse end both she and
Cleo,, had fun playing, until the
mouse, a bit annoyed .by then,
decided to make a break
Now, we felt was the time to
intervene , . . Not liking the idea
of a mouse on the loose we got
some paper and very bravely,
we encircled the mouse -which
was undoubtedly wounded -and
picked it up in the paper and
took it outside and destroyed
it , ,
