Do You Realize It"?
Do you realize there are just 21
shopping days before Christmas?
Just three weeks to make your
esreparations for that festive Feason.
Are you ready, or have you thought
about it yet?
Time has a habit of flying and
there never was a Christmas that did
not dawn on the unready.
'Christmas, to many, may not this
year, mean ,all it meant in other
years, but it will be Christmas all the
same.
There is always some one worse
off than you are. Make it Christmas
for them. It need not require a lot
oi spending money, it May not re-
quire any at all.
'Make your preparations now, there
is no time to lose. If you have Christ-
mas shopping to do, do it early and

British Columbia is Liberal.
IThe Provinceof ,British Columbia
has gone Liberal. Very.
At the provincial election held in
that Province on November 2nd last,
thirty Liberal supporter's were re-
turned and at the deferred elections
held on Tuesday of this week, four
more Liberals were returned in the
six elections contested.
With a following of 34 members
out of a total House membership of
47, Premier Pattullo has been given
a clear field in 'which to work out his
policy, and time will tell how tiell he
succeeds, •
The official optposition will he the
C. C. F. party who muster seven
members In the I -Louse. The balance
of the seats are held by two Inde-
pendents; two Independent Non -Parti-
sans, one Unionist and one Labor.
Election Time is Coming
The time for municipal elections is
drawing near. In fact in many mun-
icipalities throughout the Province
nonvination has already taken place
and elections will 'be held on Monday
next.
Judging by newspaper comment,
municipal eleetionseare a very live
issue this year.. In many localities
there will he a contest for every pub-
lic office and in others there will be
a contest for Mayor, Reeve or Coun-
cillors.
Hard times and excessive taxation
are forcing people to take a keener
interest in municipal' affairs. They
want to know where the money goes
and why.
There was a time when municipal
office was keenly sought; when the
best men in town and country con-
sidered it an honor to serve in public
office.
:In recent years, however, in far
too many cases, municipal offices
have 'be'en at the disposal of any one
who cared to fill them. Men were
too busy at other things. Personal
interests came before community
welfare.
As a consequence many communi-
ties have suffered and are now pay-
ing through the nose for this neg-
lect of the responsibilities of citizen-
ship.
;Selfishness, however, is not at the
bottom of all the trouble. So many
good men have suffered in reputation
and business because of the impar-
tial and honest manner in which they
conducted _municipal affairs while in
public office, that municipal office be-
came a thing to be shunned.
There is always an element in ev-
ery commtunity, whether urban or
aural, that possesses a loud voice and
whether said voice has any brains or
backing' behind it or not, it is invar-
iably raised against the government.
The better the officer the mare the
abuse.
That is very unfortunate, because
in times like the present municipali-
ties need in their governing bodies
the most level heads and best brains
residing in the community, if muni-
eipal government and progress is to
measure up to the standard set by
our fathers.
'Municipal government touches
more closely the life of a citizen
than any other form of government.
It is In fact the foundation of gov-
ernhnlent lend if the citizen neglects
it and allows' it to fall into incompet-
ent hands or worse, it will not be
Intrd to forecast the future history
Of oar tcoentrtg. '
There are men in every town and
tanteenehip eminently fit to fill nubile
r
office to the financial advantage of
their community. These men are
available for office too, if the public
would assure them, not only of sup-
port at the polls, 'but a fair and un-
biased judgment of their efforts dur-
ing their term of office.
A little British fair play would go
a long way in the improvement of
municipal government.

Stepping Stones—at was after seven
when we got baek; I'm sure we walk-
ed at least ten miles. After b,aving
taken .full advantage of the bawth,
we went out to a, rather late supper
and came bark to spend a very hap -
evening in front of a -comfortable
fireplace. No, the countryside
couldn't deceive me; it has begun to
'rain.
Now I must go hack to the yes-
terdays and .the days before yester-
day. for you will be wondering how
'I get down -from Inverness. After
a miserable breakfast in that miser-
able Bught Hotel, we left for our
long-awaited trip down the shore of
the Caledonian Canal, that figurative
knife that cuts Scotland in two. Af-
ter ,a frantic search for hot coffee in
wheal I lost my pals for half an
hour, we were on our way. There
never was a canal that looked lees
like a canal—as a matter of fact, it
is just a series of artificial cuttings
to join four natural lochs. It kept
me busy looking both ways in order
not to miss anything. If 1 could only
take one of those blue hills with me
and plant it inmy own back yard!
Does the Scotchman ever weary look-
ing at them, as they spear the white
puffing clouds. Sometimes we were
driving through dense growths of
pine trees that do kaieir best to. con-
ceal the loveliness 1-^yond, sometimes
we would be on top of the barest hill,
enveloped iri lovely grandeur; then
again we'd be skirting the very edge
of the water. The drive continued
right down to Fort William, built a
couple of centuries ago to subdue the
unruly Highlanders. There it was
interesting to watch the boats pass-
ing through the various lochs. I al-
so noticed a sign pointing to a small
home where a woman, over a hundred
years old., was busy weaving. Is
there no wearout to the Scotch? Just
behind Fort William is Ben Nevis,
the highest of the Highlands; I deft
an artist to put on canvas the fas-
cinating blueness of that mountain:
From Fort 'William we came
through Ballechulich, that name posi-
tively intrigues me. along the Coe
River and found ourselves shortly at
the parting of the ways, where there
was the most preposterous tign, just
as Mr. Morton had promised:
The Village of Glencoe
Scene of the 'Famous Massacre:
Teas and refreshments, tobaccos and
cigarettes.
Thus civilization advances! Through
the Pass of Glencoe I was determined
to go in spite of due warning that
the roads were steep and in poor con-
dition. I might never be here again
thought I. and I mutt see this. place
at all. costs. I 'may add I was rather
unpopular by the time we were on
the other side. but then I had beer
there! A bleaker and more formai

ters of that Loch that 'Mary 'Queen
of Scots, escaped, 'after being im-
prisoned for a year.
Through Crianlarich and Balquhid-
rier we came again into the Trossachs
to Tarbet, on the edge of Loch Lo-
emnd. Oh, it was. a 'beautiful ever-
ing and we were so fortunate to find
'he sweetest little cottage at the top
of a steep hill; it was just a farne
house covered with flowers. As soon
as we were "settled," the spell of the
evening caught us and we streak out
for a lovely walk.
The previous evening's mist had
solidified into torrents of rain by
morning, the kind where the heavens
just open. Poor old "Lily" put up
an awful fight. The general direc-
tion was Glasgow, though we plan-
ned to cross the Clyde at the Ers-
kine Ferry and avoid the busy city.
By noon we were at Paislee- — the
city of rain, dirty streets and punk
restaurants! However, this really
was the firet disagreeable day we
had had. At Kilmernoch a taste of
real Scotch hospitality was- in store
for us when we visited a friend of
Helen's. It was early for tea, but
eat we must and visit and hear the
legends of the district. Little inci-
dents like that stick!
From Kilamarnock, we were bound
for Ayr to pay homage at the shrine
of the Scotch darling, Bobbie Burns.
The garde toun proved indeed a charm-
ing but busy place. I -did want to
put any nose inside "The Tam 0'
Shanter Inn," on asking directions of
the corner policeman this is the an-
swer I got, "You must cum back
anither day, 'tis after five noo, so
ye'll get nothing." Evidehtly he be-
lieved me a member of Bobbie's in-
imitable circle. We never could make
the Lakes that night, so we compro-
mised and stayed at Gretna Green.
It was late and we were glad to find
beds, but one awful place that was!
In the morning we took time to in-
vestigate the famous Forge. Did you
know that the celebrated John Peel
was married by the blacksmith?
From Gretna Green we made • a liee
line for Grasmere and -here we are.

BRUCEFIELD
The regular meeting of the Young
People's Society. Brucefield .United
Church, was held on Monday. Nov.
27. The—meeting was in charge of
Mr. James McNaughton, who opened
it by a hymn. The Scripture read-
ing was taken by Mr. Fred Boyce,
followed by another hymn. Mr. Wm.
Pepper gave the prayer; then the
topic, "Music," was taken by Mr.
William 'McNaughton, who explained
the meaning of the word music and
explained that.it•was just vibration.
andethat. vibration, above a certain
figure,. WaS just simply noise; also
every- country has its own kind of
neusic and gave several examples:
France, stirring music with rhythm:
Italy, soft, sweet melodies; Scandi-
navia, melodies, but not much stress
on rhyme or rhythm; England, melo-
dies with an excess of harmony. One
detail he explained was that as re-
gards music, Canada was behind Eur-
ope, who had musicians far ahead of
any in this country. But one must
think that Canada is a young coun-
try will not as much experience as
regards music; also she had a hard
struggle during her earlier years and
did not have much time to think a-
bout music. Also he said, all through
the Scriptures, music was prominent.
Altogether he gave a full, detail,
which explained many a fact as re-
gards to =Mc, that the members
did not know before. The president,
arr. G. McLeod, then took the chair
for discussion on the topic and for
the -business of the 'evening. Rev.
Mr. Bremner in speaking, said that
-music has more -variety than any-
thing else. Each country has its, own
instruments and ideas of ;music. He
also discussed the question as regards
music lessons at the public schools
and as the president is a teacher and
Miss Mary McNaughton of' S. S. No.
3, Tuckersiniale was present, there
was lots of discussion on the sabject.
The discussion came to an end and
the president of the society was
handed a letter received by Mr.
Bremner from the IRev. S. J. Mathers,
Grand Bend, convenor of the Chris-
tian Education of Huron Presbytery,
to read out to all those present. It
told of the rallies held at Exeter and
Belgrave and asked all the societies
to be present. Each society present
was expected to forward 10 cents per
member to help out the Education
Conrmittee, also any society wishing
to send a gift to Saskatchewan for
Christmas could get full 'details at
the rally. The rally ie the main ev-
ent of all Y. P. S. cona.-ention.s; also
it mentioned a certain magazine ob-
tainable by all Y. P. S. which gives
full details of all conferences held
and all the latest developments in
Young People's .Societies. It was
troved by Miss Eva Stackhouse, sec-
onded by Miss M. Elliott, that Bruce -
field Y. P. S. obtain a copy; also it
was moved by Mr. Fred Boyce and
seconded by ;Mr. Gordon Elliott that
one copy be bought for each convenor
of the society. Last week each one
present signed his or her name on
the membership roll, and this week
anybody absent last week was given
the chance to enroll this week. It
was moved and seconded that each
member give a verse when he an-
swers the roll call. Three weeks ago
some talk of Bible baseball was held
and this week each member has to
read the first ten chapters in John
for next 'Monday.. The meeting then
came to a close by singing a hymn,
followed by the benediction in which
all took part. It was arranged, as
regards the Rally in Exeter, that any-
one desirous of making the trip, to
