"It is because he is so much more ' than a soldier that the Dominion has welcomed him so heartily, and is confident that he will 'hold down his job' with success. When he was head of the United Services Fund, which disposed of the huge profits on the canteens during the war years, he worked with most unsel- dier-like simplicity, did things him- self, had no staff to speak of, no regiment of typists, would open the door upon occasions to soldiers seek- ing advice." • forme at set m yr t that, had, honga name w r that cpm oq, . they would hate spread it air through Canada.

The mince pie has had many en- emies. nemies, The Puritans would have - none of it, and even in the eighteenth century it. was 'a forbidden delicacy to a large number of clergymen. Dur- ing the Commonwealth the holding of Christmas festivals was forbidden. In 1644 Parliament passed an Act or- dering all citizens to observe Christ- mas Day as a solemn fast, to be spent in silent atonement for prev- ious festivals tilat had passed in riot- ous living and merry -making. This order remained in force for twelve years. The authorities in several towns tried to reduce Christmas Day to the level of other days. In Cantelbury, by order of the mayor, it was proclaimed that "Christmas day and all other superstitious festivals should be put down." People who attended service in the cathedral were mobbed. The inhabitants form- ed themselves into 'two parties and feeling in the matter frequently re- sulted in the exchange of blows. In 1652 it .was proclaimed that "no ob- servation shall be had of the Live and twentieth day of D'eeember, common- ly called Christmas Day, nor any solemnity used or exercised in churches." This order was enforced by soldiers. Ovens and larders were searched, and where seasonable dain- ties or decorations were found they were carried off and destroyed.

LIVE 'WEDDING PRESENTS Lord Morton has revived olid tra- ditions of. Scotish chieftainship, writes. a correspondent, by ,his prac- tical and patriarchal gift of a flock of Sheep to his son on his marriage. Such wedding gifts must have been colorise/1 enough when the Douglas chiefs ruled with a high hand in ter- ritories where there was little actual money. llhe ancester of Lord Mar - The Building Trade. Canada has been hearing much of the reconstruction measures a4opted in British industry, but little of defi- nite result. R. C. Feld, in ;the New York Times, tells of actual develop- ments In the building industry. Near- ly three years ago the Building Trades Parliament for the nation was ergauized. How has it functioned? In the first place, practically all the workers have been brought into the unions and the unldns into the council. A similar unanimity 1n as- sociation has been obtained on the side of the employers. This means that the forces inside the Parliament can provide• the management, capital and labor to undertake any building program. - _"There are towns in England, to- day, for instance, which give their building contracla directly to the council instead of hawking them around to the lowest bidder," says Mr. Feld. "It so happens that tie local centralized and highly organiz- ed committee proves the lowest bid- der. This has been no small incen- tive to the speeding up of building in England." For the present the council is turning toward measures to end un- employment. • The guild socialists are trying to break up the council and substitute control by labor for Joint control, but their success is problem- atical; to much has been accomplish- ed under council auspices in secur- ! Ing harmony and progress. • May the happiness of the New Year be with you and those whose happi- ness depends upon you, and may each day of the Year bring you your share of ever increasing Joy and Prosperity. MI SEAFORTH Never Got Tired. A big Indian asked a'farmer to give'him work. "But you Indiana always get tir- ed," said the farmer. 'I never get tired. I'm not like the rest," was the answer.
