Let's Put Santa Claus Back Into Christmas !
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

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,

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

wives, called at the Turnbull
home and presented the couple
with a large picture.
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.

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,
