The town ,couneil, in emergency session, took steps to bolster the sagga'ng frame- -work • so that it will not collapse on no the street. The collapse of the .•arena places the problem of a ekat- ;ing fink for Kincardine. The roof of the arena collapsed without warn- -ing, flattening into•' the space, taken - ;;l y seats and lee surface'.' Only eyes. witness was Herschel McCallough who happened to be passing at the time, Whether the gale .of Monday night blew the south end out, allow- ing the heavily weighed roof to come down, or sheer weight of snow brought about its collapse is not known. The building was erected nearly 20 years ago with capital rais- ed locally. Last week the council took over the building and planned put- ting it into shape for operation. Ten- ders had been called for rink operator and were to have been opened Wed- nesday. To provide skating facilities the council is endeavoring to make arrangements with Kincardine `Coni- ing Club, evbepe4 the auelieg, rink': will be'evailable three nights Weekly.'

THE CHRISTMAS SEAL How It Started "The part that the Christmas Seal with its double -barred cross plays in carrying en the crusade against tub- erculosis is always an interesting story," Mr. Arthur R. Ford, Chair- man of the Christmas Seal Committee of Queen Alexandria Sanitorium, Lon- don, said yesterday. "Aman in denmark, Einer Holboell, first thought of it, He worked in a post office, One day he asked him- self, "Why wouldn't it be a good idea to raise money to care for sick child- ren by selling people penny seals to decorate their Christmas letters and packages?" "The royal family of Denmark be came interested and the money was found to print the seals. They sold so rapidly that soon there was money enough to build a children's hospital and the lives of many little ones were saved. "One of these seals found its way to America on a letter to Jacob Riis, American philanthropist, who was a native of Denmark," Mr. Ford point- ed out. "Mr. Rite was so impressed with its potential usefulness and the festive air that it gave to his Ietter that he wrote an article about the seals in The Outlook magazine of July 6, 1907. "In Wilmington, Delawasre," Mr, Ford continued, "a lady named Emily Bissell wanted to keep open a little hospital where poor victims of tuber- culosis were being brought back to health, She had read Mr> Riis's ar- ticle and thought "Why not try the Christmas Seal device in Delaware?" "Thus Christmas Thu rs mos Seals caro to the North America continent, catching the imagfnatian of the public both in the United States and Canada, Since that early beginning tens of thous- ands of lives have been saved because Christmas Seals made tuberculosis work possible." Since the campaign was inaugurat- ed in Canada in 1927, approximately two million dollars have been raised in this way and spent exclusively for preventive work. That the Can- adian tuberculosis death rate has come damn from 82 per 100,000 in 1927 to 52 in 1939 can surely be no accident but a splendid tribute to the efforts of local committees across Canada who have enthusiastically promoted theft campaigns year by year. Christmas Seals purchased in 1939 by 11,951 persons be the counties of Middlesex, Lambton, Kent, Elgin, Ox- ford, Perth and Huron, enabled Queen Alexandra Sanatorium to last year send travelling clinics monthly to Chatham, Sarnia, St, Thomas, Inger- soll, Woodstoek, Stratdord, Goderich, and London, giving free examination to over five thousand men, women and children. Mr. Ford said that he hoped that many more would purchase seal& this year in order that the great fight against tuberculosis may maintain ed, thus preeenting any rise in the; disease; which might, come with the stress of. war. Christmas seals, he, added, would provide the necessary fund, if'all who can„will but do their share. 1 i 1 THURS., DEC. 12, 1940 { Cream Prices TODAY 35 cents OBTAIN Higher' Production WITH Shur -Gain 35% Dairy Concentrate IT IS — — , Thoroughly Sweetened--Palatable—High in Fat and in Healthful Minerals --Moderately Bulky, and .Mildly Laxative -High in Balanced Proteins. amyl PALATABLE - EFFICIENT - LOW IN COST GET YOURS TODAY AT i CLINTON FEED MILL J..

Agnew New Telephone Directory An important change has been made in the new Bell Telephone Dir- ectory for Stratford, Clinton and vicinity, over 10,000 copies of which are being delivered this week, Of these books about 1,000 are being mailed to subscribers here. The list of long distance rates to out-of-town points most frequently called is contained in the introductory pages of the classified directory. Since this issue a rs ue c mains hundreds of new an changedlistings d hstr gs in the alphabetical directory alone, the im- portance of 'destroying the old books and carefully consulting the new ones before placing calls is obvious, if the "wrong number” nuisance is to be avoided.

LOYALTY INDEFINABLE Thrust as Great Britain has been into the midst of the greatest war in history, the prestige of the Empire is mounting higher and higher. The basis of this great commonwealth of free peoples • is not tyranny, as Hitler and Mussolini would have others be- lieve, but liberty and the privilege to all peoples of downtrodden Europe to- day of enjoying freedom, life and happiness, and of realizing the aspir- ations of the human soul. No wonder that when Great Britain took her stand on the side of the weak nations of Europe a year ago, the members of this vast 'commonwealth rose to take their place by her side. Loyalty is an indefinable thing; here is a time when our Concise Oxford Dictionary has failed us, and we find ourselves forced to turn to the treasuries of our literature for a suitable descrip- tion. But where are to be found the choicest illustrations of the feelings anti aspirations of the mind and the. heart of man? One of themost un- fortunate things, We think, in the modernsystem of education is that the rarest gem of our literature be - carne linked with religious denomina- tionalism; • • and Vr• toneeceri.L'nee''ether 1 1 public schools throughout this wide Dominion became robbed •of the beauties of description and the poetic cadences of the Bible. No other great literary work can approach it. We know that there will be a few of our readers who even yet will take ex- ception to our refernce to this liter- ary production of many centuries ago but, as am; illustration, where else in our Mennen can be found a passage comparable to the 137th Psalm in its outpourings of patriotism and loyal- ty? And should the individual, who- ever or whatever be may be, become puffed up, and should the flower of patriotism in any nation for some reason or other fail to shed its full fro gran ce for the enjoyment of other peoples, what else in literature can compare with the test for self-exam- ination to le found in the thirteenth instalment of the first letter which Paul wrote to the people of Corinth ninteen centuries ago? In the Middle Ages the Bible was the text book of literature, It breathes through the writing of Addison and Shakespeare and Milton and it is doubtful if without its beauties Shakespeare could have put into the mouth of old John of Gaunt those expressions of loyalty to the land of his birth which will be read and cher- ished down the ages wherever the English language is spoken, and when the names of Hitler and Mussolini like that of Napoleon will long have become unsavoury memories: This royal throne of kings, this soepter'd isle This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise; This fortress built by Nature for herself Against infection and the hand of war; This happy breed of men, this Iittle world; This precious stone set in the silver sea, Which serves it in the office of a wall, Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands; This blessed plot, this earth, this realm .. This land of such dear souls, this dear dear land, Dear for her reputation through the world. —Austin H. Carr in The Canadian Chartered Accountant.
