Cheque Forger
Sought by Police
A cheque artist who recently
cashed cheques in Seaforth,
Clinton and Goderich is !being
sought by police. 'Close to
$1,000 is known to have been
obtained in `money; watches and
other articles.
The man visited jewellery and
hardware stores. .Described as
mice looking find in his early
thirties, be was in Seaforth a
week ago last 'Saturday night
and in a busy store made a pur-
chase, tendering a cheque for
$155.00 on a well-known Lon-
don poultry firm, !Riverside
Poultry, in favor of a Londes-
!bore farmer, Otto Fangrad. For
identification he showed a driv-
er's permit which is now known
to be forged, as was the cheque.
The fraud was detected when
the cheque. was returned by the
bank Monday of this week, from
London.
At Clinton and Goderich the
same names were used on the
cheques, and the highest amount
was for $185.00. It is now re-
called that the forger made one
slip which almost resulted in
his detection as the fake driv-
er's permit had "Landeabere
R. R. 4". There is only one ru-
ral route at ,Londesboro, and it
would seem the forger is not fa-
miliar with the district.

When will Christmas
Came ?
dA Christmas message by
Dr. 4. Semple, on behalf of the
Seaforth Ministerial Associa-
tion).
• Already the younger members
of our households have asked
many times, "Will Christmas
Ever Come?"
Indeed, 'because it is a ques-
tion children have made famil-
iar, it seems almost .puerile to
raise the interrogation.. When
we do so, we apparently classi-
fy ourselves with those who are
quite -immature, for since the.
25th December is only a few
days away, some of us who are
older think it is entirely • too
closet Instead of being disturbed
as to whether it will ever come,
we are more worried because it
will likely slip upon us before
we realize it is here,
But the 25th December can
come and go without ushering
:n Christmas. This is why this
interrogation is far more seri-
ous than it may at first appear,
'Earnest -min d e d Christians
around the world are raising
this question today with a new
emphasis, •
Will Christmas ever come to
Hungary, China, Japan, Russia,
Egypt, Germany, :for instance?
Will •Christmas ever come to
the hearts and minds of the dis-
illusioned and disappointed and
submerged masses of the world?
Will Christmas ever conte to
the souls of those who shape the
policies and destinies of the
nations?
Indeed, this is an inter'r'oga-
tion that God +Himself may be
raising. There is nothing in
which 'ife is more interested
than the coming of -the spirit of
Christmas into the Hearts and
souls of men and women around
the world.
Taut Christmas certainly • came
once. When Jesus was !born in
Bethlehem of Judea, something
happened to the world. A new
ideal mitered into the hearts of
men. A process of liberation
was set up, and this has been
going on down through the cen-
turies despite innatmerable re-
verses and bitter disappoint-
ments, When Josue came,. a new
love for beauty was born in the
hearts of :people. Raphael and
Rubens found subjects worthy
of their Art. Handel coact write
his"Messiah", Milton was in-
spired to pen his world-famous
poems. 'Dante lead n subject thet
eotild make him a master, Sculp-
tors and fainters and Poets of
all nations found an inspiration
both to discover and create
beauty.
Christmas comes every time
someone lets the Seeiour Chri: t
into his heart and life. Chrrrt-
•n'aS comes when we offer God
the hospitality of tar hearts.
Christmas in the Heart
In •a world bowed down with
war and sin,
There still r_ seem
l,or Christmas in the heart
within.
