'Songs to sing of all, earth's trees---
And Many havebeen sung—
Of apple trees in maytime bloom,
Of winds the pines among;
Of flame -lit autumn maples,
And popular whispering high:
Of lissom silver birches
And elms that brush the sky.
But, greatly though I love them all,
Another tree I sing
Whose fruit is bulky packages
Tied up with silver string;
Whose branches bloom With coloured
(balls
And tinsel gleaming bright,
And glow at every prickly tip
With golden candle -light.
They have no nesting birds to shield;
Their starless ceiling .•sky
Can bdast no wind -tossed eloudlets,

They lose the winds, but mid their.

The following is said to be the
story of the first Christmas tree.
"It was' an eventful Yule-
tide night' in the dine past ' of
A.D.724 that Boniface, a mis-
sionary from England, reaching
Central Europe, cane upon a
group of worshippers' gathered
around an. altar •erected beneath
a magnificent oak tree to Thor,
the god aY thunder and of war.
The worshippers were assem-
bled to witnesb not on.1y..the
sacrifice of the most beautiful.
horse in the community,' but a
human sacrifice as well. •A lad
of 12 years was selected .and
fearlessly went forward to the
altar. Then as the mallet . of
the priest was raised- to descend
upon the head of the boy, Boni-
face intercepted the blow with
his staff, :surmounted by the
Cross of Christ. As the priest's
mallet broke in many fragments
on the altar,.. Boniface ste(iped
before the altar and pleaded for
the boy and for the Christ he
served. So impassioned was his
Plea that the worshippers of
Thor became worshippers of
the true God, and abandoned
their pagan ceremonies. Re-
cognized as a. symbol of the true
religion, the great oak under
whose spreading branches the

known as . the first Christmas
tr'ee."
• Despite Lheantiquity of. 'their ori-
gin, no culinary creation has been
conceived to supphani, either the
mince pie or: plum pudding as deli-
cacies' to 'grace the Christmas table.
In, the days of Queen hlizabeth these
Chistrnassy, pies were known as
"ranched" or. "shird" pies, Then it.
was that high value was placed on.
the "minclied'? pie, and so sacred
Were those Pies that sometimes a
member of the family stood guard ov-
er Lheiro.ail the night through, as over
precious • jewels, to keep them
from being stolen. Tri-
ditiop says that the, spices in the
mince pie. represent .the costly spices
brought to',;Bethlehem by th`e Wise
Mjen, of the East to lay. at .the feet of
the Christ Child. Originally the shape
of the mince'pie was in the design of
a manger', symbolic of the ltide man-
ger which'cradled the HOIY Child.
In; the early days of 'Chri'mas
merry -making the plum pudding was
known as "plan porridge." There
used to be a funny little nursery
rhyme about '"the ,num in the South,
who burned his mouth from eating
cold plum porridge."
Try as one aright one cannot very
well express the Christmas Spirit any
better than Dickens did many, many
years ago, when he ' noade Old
Scrooge's nephew say:
"I have always thought of '
Christmas tithe, when it has
cdnte round—apbrt from the ven-
eration due to its sacred name,
and origin. if anything belonging
to it can be apart from that—as ,
a good time; a kind, forgiving,
charitable, pleasarit time; the
only time 2 know of; in the long
calendar .of the year, when men
and women seem by one consent
to open their shut -up hearts free-
ly, and to think of people
. as if they really were fel-
low passengersto the grave, and
not another race of creatures' 1
bound on ether journeys."
Before another week conies around
we 'shall have passed the festive
Christmas tine; the 'Christmas car-
ols will have been sung, the Christ-
mas candles lighted and burned out,
the feast will have been eaten, the
gifts will have been distributed, San-
ta Claus will have departed on his re-
turn journey to the North Pole and
a sort of a flat'staleness will have
descended upon most of us.' But it
will have been worth it all. Even
though we may be tired and the
world look grey, and a bit `dull af-
terwards, Christmas is worth all the
trouble, all the labour and all the
expense, It would be better, perhaps
if we could only manage to have that
famous Christmas Spirit last over
through the year. But don't be-
grudge any tra'uhle it takes to make
Christmas a success. . Give all the
joy you can, to everybody you can,
and the Merriest of Christmases to
every one of you is the hearty wish

The Road and Bridge Committee
reported the inspection of various
roads and bridges, including the one
on the Stephen-McGillvray boundary
where a fatal accident occurred rec-
ently and on ': account of •'which a
claim for damages was made. They
did not think the county had been in
any way negligent and advised de-
fending the action. They also ad-
vised that noo road and bridge com-
mittee
om-ne ttee be appointed in future, as all.
county bridges will be under the juris-
diction of the Good Roads Commis-
sion.
The. Road Commission reported the
working season of 1928 a]rnost com-
pleted and the programme of whirrs
approved in `Anne carried out, as
nearly in accordance erith proposals
as conditions would permit. .The wet
season has not permitted much work
tcj be done on the McKillop -Grey
boundary, and has made very diffi-
cult the carrying out of other work.
On the new county roads south of
1VfcGaw and north of Bluevale, it was
found necessary to widen seetioins of
the road as these wore found to be
too narrow for safety. It is fortun-
ate that a large programme of bridge
and road construction was not under-
taken, as the traffic an many roads
would have been interrupted very
seriously on account of excessive
rain. To dote $168,140.26 has been
expended, and at the end :of the year
it is expected that there will be a
small surplus, but not sufficient +to'
wipe out the''deficit from last year,
as was hoped. However, the extra
maintenance work done has shown
results can the roads enol the com-
mittee was pleased to ropott that
the roads in general are much im-
proved. Since, however, no bridges
were built, and a emnparativeiy small
amount of permanent work was done,
it is obvious, the committee thought,
that the roads cannot continue to be
maintained to a high standard with
the present low highway rate in
view of the increasing demands from
the traffic. •
Re petition of ratepayers of the
village of Bayfield anti petition of
ratepayers on the Gdderich-Bayfield
Road, that this road be kept open for
wheel traffic during the coming win-
ter, in view of the large number of
petitioners, we recommend that this
be done as far as practicable.
Re petition of ratepayers for the
erection of snolw' fence at Vinegar,

mended to be left for the January
