The King's Christmas Message Text of His Majesty's Christmas Day Broadcast to his subjects' in all parts of the Empire and to fighting men of all ranks. The festival which we know as Christmas is above all a festival of peace and of the home. Among all free peoples love of peace is profound, for this alone gives security to the home. But true peace is in the hearts of men and it is the tragedy of this time that there are powerful countries whose direction and policy age based en aggression and the sup- 'pression of all we hold dear for mankind.

MEMORIAL GIFT TO, GODERICII CHURCH A fine lantern was received by the Sunday school of Knox Presbyterian Church, Goderich on Sunday, the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Taylor, 'in,: memory of their sons, Stanley and Joe, whose deaths occurred this year, in April and November, respectively. The gift was received and dedicated by Rev. D. J. Lane. Both young men had taken an ac- tive part in. Sunday 'school work. Joe was a member and former president. of St. And'rew's Young Men's Class,' and for -a time was secretary of the Sunday school. Stanley was secretary of St. Andrew's Class. George W. Schaefer, former president, and sev- eral former' classmates were present at the impressive service. It is this, that has stirred our. peoples'and given them a'unitY unknown in any previous war, We have the feeling' in our hearts that we ' are fighting. against wickedness and this conviction willg•i strength to Y day to persevere until victory is• assured. At homewe are, 'as .it were, taking the strain for what may lie ahead of us, resolved and confident. We look with pride and thankfulness.an the never - failing courage and devotion of the Royal Navy, on which throughout the last four months has burst the storm of ruthless and unceasing war. And when I speak of our navy today, I mean all the men of the empire who go down to the sea M ships, the mercantile marine, mine sweepers, trawlers and drifters, from senior officer to the last boy who has. joined up. To; every one in this great fleet I send a message of gratitude and greeting from myself and all my peoples. The same message I send to our gallant air force which, in co-operation with the navy, is our sure shield of defence. They are daily adding laurels to. those that their fathers won. I would send a special word. of greeting to the armies of the Empire to those who have come from afar and in particular to the British Expeditionary Force. Thole task is hard, .. They are waiting. Waiting is a trial of nerves and discipline. But I know that when the time comes for action they will prove themselves worthy of the highest traditions of the great service. To all who,are preparing them- selves to serve their country on sea or land or ]n the air I send my greetings at this time. The niers and women of our far-flung Empire working in their several vocations with the one seine pus- pose all are members of a great family of nation's which is pre- pared to sacrifice everything that freedom of the spirit niay be sav- ed to the world. Such is the spirit of the Em- pire, of the great dominions, of India, of every colony, large or small, from all alike have come offers of help, for which the mother country can never be suf- ficiently grateful. Such unity in aims and in ef- fort has never been seen in the world before. I believe from my heart that the cause which binds' together nay peoples and our gal- lant and faithful Allies is the cause of Christian civilization. On na other basis can true civil- ization be built. Let us remember this through the dark tins'ahead of us and when we; are making. the peace for Which all men pray. ,The new year is at hand. We cannot tell what it will bring. If it brings peace, how thankful we slhall'be. If it brings us con- tinued struggle, we shall remain undaunted. Meanwhile I feel that we may all find it message of encourage- ment in the lines which, in my closing, words, I would like to read to you: "I said to a anal), who :stood at the gate of the year, 'Give ms a light that I may tread safely into the unknown,' andhe replied, 'Go out into the darkness and pup your hand into the hand of God. That shall he to you better than light' and safer than the known Way'," May that Almighty hand guide and uphold us all.

HEPBURN TO SKATE WAY TOWARD FITNESS Declared by Physicians to Be Fine Exercise Premier Hepburn . has decided to skate his way toward filmes during his brief winter layoff and experts 'say he couldn't have made a wiser • decision. Dr. William II. Avery, the premier's personal physician, says: "Skating is healthy exercise for a man of the premier's age. (Mr. Hepburn is 43.) It gets a man into the open and is scarcely less strenuous than walking. Unless a man is heavily overweight or has a heart condition, skating can do him no, harm." lDr. Smirle Lawson, supervising coroner for Ontario. "A. fine exercise for any man, provided he doesn't go at it too strenuously." 1 Expert three is a combined group from Toronto's public health depart- ment. In fancier language these medicos say sure, skating is good for you like oyster stew or corned beef and cabbage or strawberries and cream. don't..but tare too and don't, incidentally, think that pleasure skating will take weight off lif you happen to be fat. n won't. 05—ZittactetVy4YrAtazt'tetsatelget t,.t.,tarfetsvalm t4' t etzi.tzetetexerveteeme etee d' SpecL1 Barg:1215 iIIT] SCOTIA — SPARTON D-tube mantel moi/el radia.
