Public Is Urged .Wensall To Observe
To Mail Earl
Christmas Mail For The Over-
seas And Home Forces -
Mailing Dates.
The now airgrap1) system, where
by full page messages may be sent
by air to soldiers in the United King-
dom is proving quite popular. Al-
ready many are availing themselves
of this low price (10 cents) method
introduced by the Post Office Dept,
by which relatives in Canada may
send messages quickly and safely to
the boys overseas. The new regula-
tion which allows soldiers in the Un-
ited Kingdom to have money sent to
them, free by air, by simply paying
the small money order fee and in
amounts up to $10 in any one day,
seems to appeal to many mailers.
The postmaster and stats will be only
too pleased to give all necessary as-
sistance and information on the
above mentioned post office aids, so
that our fighting men may have
real Merry Christmas,
The general public are once, again

Campbell was chairman. The second
was at the home of Mr. Wm. Old-
field, Tuckcrsmith, with about 36
present. Con Eckert was the chair-
man. The subject at these forums
was. men and machines, and discus-
sion centred on the use of more
power .farming and it was •decided
that there was considerably more
fluent machinery used for the last
crop year. The question was asked,
what percentage of farmers' sons
and hired -men left the farm for
other lines of work, -including en-
listment for active service. The an-
swer varied. At the INIeKillop meet-
ing it was dTcided the figure was
about 7:5 to SO per c'.ent. At the
T'uckersmith meeting the number
was not as noticrable, being only
25 per cent, 1'ol next week the

end itwas decided that the month -_
r,• of December should be regarded as1
Go to Church Month.- This has 1it•�
Ile meaning for the regalan church
tender who looks upon every
month as •t go to ('1lurch month. and
every Sunday 18 go to chu'rc'h Sun-
day. However thele are many peo-
ple its Seaforth whose attendance at
hunch is very irregular, and some
who never go, for no real reason,
but their owl lack of inclination to
at tend.
December is the last month of the
year, and reminds us of the passing
of time. The question is sometimes
asked what is time, and no practical
answer can be given, than that time
is opportunity. Opportunity for the
creature to glorify the Creator. to
serve 1114' fellowman, and opportun-
ity to prepare for eternity. It is fit-
ting that we should meetin the
House of God 10 mediate on these
things and Unite our hearts in wor-
ship and prayer.
Then again December is the month
in which we celebrate the birth of
Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord.
When once again we are reminded
of the angel's message proclaiming
"good tidings of great joy to all peo-
ple. and that of the heavenly host."
Glory to God in the highest, and on
earth peace, good will toward men,
surely these are messages needed in
these days of international strife.
Next week we hope to consider the
relationship of church going to our
war effort. Meanwhile het 118 go 10
