CHRISTMAS TIME
There's Something in the air tonight,
"'Soni thing that fills me with delight
And maks the whole world seen just
right ,
• Bets my heart a -singing.
It's in the snowy-laders trees,
It greets you on the frosty breeze,
It's in the moon and stars, and these
A message seem a -bringing.
It's in the brightly -lighted street,
'In crunching snow beneath your feet,
In faces of the ones we meet
A friendly thought revealing.
It's in the bustling, shoving crowd
'Of busy shoppers;, parcel -bowed,
In children's voices carolling loud
And church -bells softly pealing.
It's in the greeting of a friend,
In "Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men"
It's Love and Song and Laughter—
then
I know it's Christmas Time again!
Marjorie Lilian Riley.
OUR'LITTLE TOWN
' Our little town—God bless it!
Is the grandest place to live; ,
It has all sorts of happy things
And blessings fine to give.
'It really makes ray heart feel glad
When up the street I go,
I say hello to Ann and Bill.
And others that I know.
It's nice to pass the time of day
At grocery stores and such;
Meet Aunt Jemima Hutchison
Who always knows so much.
Our Iittle town's so friendly—
I know most every one;
Feel sure that I shall see some :Friends
Before the day is done.
1 never feel quite all alonef
' Amidst my friends so dear—
o is it any wonder
I thank God that I live here?
SOME MORNING SOON
ere storming soon
hope to rise
nd find the gladness of surprise.
r there will be the surety of Spring
evealed in Nature's home -coming.
Spine morning soon,
I'll leave my house to roam
Where wild things find a haunt and
home,
And there I'll make a covenant to
praise
The One who giveth Springtime days.
—Caroline Grant Farrill.
ASK HITLER
J. W. Gray, of Listowel, in writing
to his son in England, sande the foI-
lowing poen:
Aisk Hitler when he's about to launch
His long postponed invasion,
Tell him you have come across
For this very special occasion
Ask him about the ships he has sunk,
Also those that are still afloat,
Tell him he has been misinformed ,
Perhaps it will get his goat.
Ask him about the submarines
The sucker hasn't got,
Tell him he must have exaggerated,
Six hundred seems a lot.
Ask hint about the London blitz ,
And what he expects to gain,
Tell him he is making them more re-
solved
To stand up under the strain.
Ask him about the R.A.F.
If he thinks thein still no good,
Tell himhe said they could not pass,
He must have misunderstood,
Ask him about the British fleet,
alf he has bottled it up as yet,
Tell him that all his dreams were
false,
These he may as well forget.
Ask hint about his latest drive
Against Stalin and his gang,
Tell him 'tis just another noose
In which himself to hang.
'Ask him about the Serbs and Czechs,
Belgian Dutch and Pole,
Tell him that whate'er his fate may

A PATRIOTIC CHRISTMAS
This yearCanadian homemakers
will be striving to economize when
planning and preparing the Christmas
dinner. At the same time they will

We cannot help but think that Santa
must have some great experiences
with the hundreds of children to
whom he talks. ,
For weeks and weeks before the
great day Santa is talked about in the
home. Good deeds on the part of the
children are rewarded with "I'll tell
Santa you have been a good boy," and
disobedience with the threat that

memorized in later years is very much
mare difficult.
Teachers and Sunday School sup-
erlerintendants do the scholars in your
it class or school come Sunday after
the Sunday with no Bi'bl'e. You ask the
at question, "Where is your Bible?" "I
on haven't got one." "Isn't that a trag-

they operate with electricity, be sure
you supervise their use.
DON'T decorate the tree with light-

DON'T use a rickety, unsafe lade

DON'T place Christmas candles

DON'T overlook the opportunity to
make your' tree fire-resistant. Ac-
cording to the United Forestay ser-
vice, you can do it this way: Divide
the weight of your tree by four and
buy that many pounds of ammonium
sulphate. Dissolve it in water, one
and a half pints to each pound of
ammonium sulphate. Cut .the end of

i!Lk,
As far as that goes, at Christmas
time we are all. children. Almost
without exception we have some thing
in our minds which we would like as
a gift. In all probability we could
get it for ourselves, but it is just the
idea that we would like some one to
give it to us so that that person
through the years to come right be
associated with the gift.
With the idea of giving and receiv-
ing are we getting' away from the real
meaning of Christmas? There are
few people in the world today who
do not look with a great deal of pleas-
ure at the child's desire to see' Santa
Claus and to present their requests
large or small to Trim. We spend a
great deal of time talking to the lit-
tle one about him but how Hauch time
do we give them taking about the
Saviour of the world. Whose birth-
day we observe at the "Christmas'
season." In the majority of. cases
Christmas gifts are material things
which in the days to dome have very
little value. We tire of them; they th
go out of fashion; but there is a gift
of which we never tire, "The Bible."
As the years go,.by it becomes in-
creasingly precious. We memorize r
passages of it.' We mark it to suit d
ourselves; we ponder over its prom:- t
ices and our trust in our Saviour in- s
creases as we ask God to guide as, in
our reading and to reveal to us the
several times but it means more to
me than anything else I have. DON'T drive carelessly—unless you 2 p.m, Your Request Hour

Brings Big Response
The response of the people to the
Canadian Red Cross appeal fot
$500,000 for medical and relief sup-
plies for Russia is most encouraging,•
Dr. F. W. Routley, national coln-
missioner of the society, announced.
"This appeal is directed to every
man, woman and child ha, the Dom-
inion. It is one way for citizens to
prove to our Russian allies that
Canada wants to do all in its power
to aid the Russian people."
The heroic struggle put up by the
Soviet army, has been a great blow
trunk for democracy against the for-
ces of aggression. Casualties among
e Russian troops and civilians, have
been enormous and there is an ur-
gent need for medical supplies.
"The Canadian Red Cross has al-
eady shipped a supply of valuable
rugs, medicines and field comforts
o Russia, but more must be sent as
con as possible,,,
All money donated to the Red
Cross for en deal aid for Rulia
will be earmarked for that fund,
and although an objective has been
et up in the appeal, all money rais-
d, regardless of the amount, will be
used for aid to Russia.
"Recent advices from Moscow in-
dicate that Russia's requirements in-
clude medical and surgical instru-
ents and apparatus, spdcifiedi drugs
and chemicals raw materials," and
these are the things we will buy and

ACTIVITY PICTURES
Picnics are full of gayety, and you'll want your camera ready to record
a complete story of the event. Catch your subjects when they're busily
absorbed in some activity.
PICTURES of people outdoors,
busy with games, sports, or other
activities add human interest ap-
peal to any amateur's snapshot col -
1 e c tie n. Opportunities for such
shots exist throughout the steamier
months, and the weekends offer a
specially good range of picture-talc-
ing possibilities..
Most of us plan something spe-
cial at this tine—a trip, a day or
two at the beach, or a picnic—and
this presents a theme around which
the day's pictures can be centered.
11 you plan a series of snapshots
depicting the events of your holi-
day, your shots will Pave con-
tinuity, and will tell a connected,
interesting story. Of course, you
can't foresee all the possibilities be-
cause many picture chances occur
quite unexpectedly. It is helpful,
however, to jot down a brief outline
covering the high spots.
If you plan a picnic, for example,
you'll want a. picture of Tom, Dick
or Harry as he packs the basket
and outing accessories in the ear.
On arriving at the picnic grounds,
don't overlook shots of the girls
setting the table for lunch and
then a general view of e'l'eryone
"packing it away."
You'll want a "close-up" of'Mary
devouring a tasty sandwich, Jack
tussling with an obstinate cap on
the olive jar, and many otherethat
add human interest to your picture
story. And, of course, there are the
after -lunch games, pictures of Dick
napping under a large tree, and fi-
nally a parting shot of loading the
ear to go More.
In planning your pictures—and in
making then, too—there are sev-
eral points to keep in mind. First,
make each shot simple --don't clut-
ter it up with too many details.
Second, see that each snapshot por-
trays a definite bit of activity to
assure a complete story of each
particular good time.
A third point is nicely illustrated
in this accompanying photograph.
Half the fur of a picnic is the in-
formality. Don't have your subjects
looking at the camera; instead cap-
ture.them when they are engaged
in some activity. Watch also fel'
"natural frames," such as the tree
in the picture above. This helps
hold the picture together, adds
depth, and makes a pleasing ar-
rangement.
There's a lot of pleasure and
genuine satisfaction in making s.
planned picture record of your out -
hags. Instead of random "pot shots,"
you will have a well organized, con-
nected picture story. Try the Idea
and see if it doesn't pay big divt-
dends in better snapshots—the kind
ydutll be proud to ,tot show to your
friends and .relatives.
