This is the season when people are most easily taught the spirit of St. Nich• alas, the generous nature which will again sweep over the world this December. Very little seems to have been accom- plishd by the bathrobe dramas that have sent countless boys down church aisles carrying gifts to represent gold, frankin- cense and myrrh. Christmas has been a beautiful symbol, but the good news has all been left to the angels, When the spirit of generosity is expressed, not in symbol but in fact, something of the Christmas meaning begins to take shape. A clergyman's wife found that out in 1904 when she added White Gift Sunday to the church festivities. She came upon a legend which told the story of a birthday celebration in the court of Kublah Khan. In his honor, all the gifts and decorations were white. Many churches still celebrate White Gift Sunday, but it has become a presentation of canned goods and other gifts supplied from parent's well -stocked shelves. It all is turned over to some anonymous indi- vidual or •organization to distribute. No mention will be made of service, or per- sonal involvement. That's Santa's secret, He doesn't send his gnomes to deliver the gifts. He comes himself. He is personally involved. With each gift there is the rosy red smile, the loving concern. That's why we should bring the spirit of Santa Claus back into Christmas. The three wise men made history when they presented gifts in Beth- lehem, but if we are going to make history, we will have to present more than money or perfume. The world is in desperate need of people who will enter the lives of the lonely, giving their time as well as their treasure. Such a gift could be a year-round con- cern of a modern Saint Nicholas, not just an annual easing of the conscience by giv- ing away something we can do without. My Sincere Thanks .. . To The Electors of Hay Township and to all those who worked on my behalf, and voted for me, at Monday's municipal elec- tion. Your trust in me is greatly appreciated. Season's Greetings — John Corbett i Centennial Notes "Celebrate 1967 with lights" is the Canadian General Elec- tric slogan. What better way is there to celebrate this once -in -a -century event than by a flood of light. It will be a visual identification of your enterprise with Canada during 1967. Canadian General Electric now has five beautiful centen- nial designs for outdoor decora- tive lighting. These lighting modulars can be purchased with wiring sockets and may be out- lined in bright garlands. Each unit comes ready for installa- tion complete with instructions. Should you not be able to afford one of these centennial modulars perhaps your own Christmas decorations could serve the same purpose by leav- ing then up for the 1967 year. In this way you will be letting your Iights shine in recognition of this great country of ours. Married 50 Years Ago Mr. and Mrs. Max Turnbull, RR 1, Dashwood, were honored last Friday on the occasion of their 50th wedding anniversary. Friends, neighbors and relatives called throughout the day to extend best wishes to the pop- ular Hay Township couple. The couple were married on December 2, 1916, at the Pres- byterian manse, Hensall, by the Rev. W. Smith. They spent their entire married life on the farm where they now reside, which is the Turnbull home - place. Mr. Turnbull was born and raised on the same farm. Mr. Turnbull is a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Robert Turn- bull, and his bride of 50 years years ago is the former Ida Webb, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Webb, Stephen Township, The Turnbulls have four chil- dren, three sons and a daugh- ter. They are John, at home; Robert, of Breslau; Fred, of Florida, and Mrs, Lloyd Lam- port, of Crediton. There are also six grandchildren. All the members of their family were hone for -the special occasion. .Along with their children, Mr. Turnbull has one brother, Morton, of Parkhill, and Mrs. Turnbull has two brothers •a.nd three sisters. Mr. Turnbull .has served for seven years on the board of di- rectors of the Hay Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Com- pany, and was president of the group a few years ago.

Along with his service on the fire insurance board, Mr. Turn- bull also served as a member of the Hay Township council for seven years. A family dinner, to honor the couple, was held at the Do- minion Hotel, Zurich, on Sat- urday night, when all the mem- bers of their family were again present. Among the many gifts and congratulatory messages re- ceived by Mr. and Mrs. Turn- bull were letters from Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson, Prime Minister John J. Robarts, Hon. John G. Diefenbaker, Hon. C. S. MacNaughton, and Robert E. McKinley, MP for Huron. They also received a certificate from the Province of Ontario to mark the event. TOYS? The Answer Is — BEAVER'S HARDWARE TOY TOWN EXETER County Clerk Sees Tax Increase Goderich—An increase in the county mill rate in. 1967 was forecast by Clerk -Treasurer John G. Berry in his financial report to Huron County coun- cil last week. He considered it. "more than likely" in view of the increased cost entailed in setting up a new county library system. Mr. Berry submitted financial statements as follows: general account, highways account, county health unit, county li- brary co-operative, Children's Aid Society, Huron County Home. Generally speaking, the finan- cial picture appears to be rather good. All accounts are show- ing a surplus, with the excep- tion of highways, and this is usual during the construction period; there seems to be no reason why they should 'not conclude the year's activity with in their budget. "The picture for 1967 is go- ing to be .somewhat different. Departments which will more than likely increase in cost of operation will be administra- tion of justice, child welfare, Huronview, healt unit, library, and debenture costs will also increase. There will be some relief in the fact :that we can divert a portion of the hospital reserve funds to apply against the additional debenture costs, rather than to continue to build up our hospital reserve fund." The clerk stated that, "as in the case in all municipal fields, the workload continues to increase." He suggested changes to divide committee work between the deputy clerk and himself so that both would not have to attend committee meetings as in the past, Business and Professional Directory OPTOMETRY J.
