at Seaforth, Ontario, ev-
ay afternoon by McLean
Q,TI3,' Friday, January 13th.
e Tour of the King and Queen
the programme far the Canadian
fur of King George VI and Queens
lialz,pbeth has been announced from
Ottawa, and like every other Ottawa
prograthme, regardless of which po-
litical party promotes it, it has not
been greeted with unanimous coni-
nt and approval by some parts of
Canada, particularly that part
known as Ontario.
Toronto will only have the King
and Queen for eight and a half ,
hours, the dame length of time they
'Will be in Montreal. Ottawa will
have the King and Queen for three .
days. The quintuplets' part of On-
tario will not have thecal at all.
No personal invitations Will be ac-
cepted by the Royal party. The King
° and Queen will not visit institutions
and industries, and Universities will
not be allowed to confer degrees.
'During their tour of Canada. in
Ilay and June next, the King and
Queen will not listen to any address-
es of welcome, or anything else, ex-
cept in Ottawa or in provincial capi-
tals. .There will be no more than one
ficial meal -time gathering, whether
it be a luncheon or dinner, in any
• one day.
There are a lot of other restric-
tions covering the Royal tour, but
these seem to have been singled out
as the main objections, and of these
the three-day stay in Ottawa and the
ban on civic speeches and addresses,
seem to stand out.
. Perhaps there are reasons why
they should. For one thing, Ottawa
is not only the Capital of Canada and
the seat of government, but it is a
very beautiful and historic city, and
in it is located'...Government House,
the Royal residence.
It is just possible that white in Ot-
tawa the King and his`'British advis-
ers may have some, in fact a good
many, subjects to discuss with his
Canadian advisers. And where
would there be a more logical place
for these discussions than in the Can-
adian capital, or in the Government
House in that city?
Regarding the public speeches and
municipal addresses, no doubt it is a
great and lasting honor for a Mayor
or any other civic dignatory or pub-
lic man to address the King and
Queen in •public, and a very interest-
ing experience for the speaker, or ad-
dressor. But what about the King
and Queen?
For after all it is the King and
Queen who should be considered.
This tour is planned to be a rest, a
relaxation and a holiday for them.
They are coming to see the people
and the places across Canada, from
ocean to ocean, and, no doubt, they
will want to find their pleasure
where they will, and not where any
place or Province or any people
therein think they should find it, or
be compelled to seek it.
To an outsider, the itinerary of
die Royal tour would appear to be as
comprehensive, and at the same
time, as reasonable and enlightening
as it is possible to make it, Cana-
dians should do their utmost to abide
by it in every way, because it is the
pleasure of the King and Queen that
is to be considered, and not our own.

The Provincial Plowing Match
For Huron
Some time ago we mentioned that
a considered effort was being made
to secure the next -Provincial Plow-
ing Match for Huron County. Mat-
ters have now gone beyond the pre-
liminary stages andmea well organiz-
ed
rganiz
+ed. and enthusiastic drive is be-
ing made with that end in view.
On Saturday last a meeting was
held in Clinton, sponsored by the
est.'s Associations of the Conn -
municipal officials ;.and members

by Tl. Carroll, Ontario .Sup-

this 'county, but the oficialsP alid
others who are in a position, to know
are free to admit :that the possibili- '
ties_ of Huron as a desirable centre
for this internationally known ev-
ent, are not overshadowed by any
other county in Ontario, nor are they
equalled by many.
But there is a lot of work still to
do, and that work could be much
more easily and swiftly accomplish-
ed if the County Council, at its ses-
sion this month would .take the mat-
ter
atter in hand, as being one, if not its
chief, item of important business.
International plowing matches are
not run on air. It takes a good deal
of money to finance them and there
is no source of revenue more easily
available than that of the county. It
would not only be money well spent
in the best interests of the county,
but it, would prove a paying invest-
ment.
The county, it is true, would have
to advance a substantial sum of
money as a grant, but this grant
would not exceed in amount the to-
tal which has been and will be grant-
ed the different Plowmen's Associa-
tions in, the county over a term of
years.
It is an opportunity to put Huron
on the ma • that we hope not only
the county council, but the councils
of the different municipalities, will
be quick to take advantage of.

Christmas Cards
Christmas is over of course, but no
doubt there are still some pleasant
memories of it lingering , about in
the air, or, perhaps, more properly
speaking, about the house.
One of these pleasant memories is
the Christmas cards. Or don't you,
view it that way? No doubt you re-
ceived a lot, and sent out a lot too.
And those you received have all been
read. The indifferent ones you have
destroyed; the pretty ones are still
being admired, perhaps, but the real
good ones have been put carefully
away so you can send them out
again yourself next year if the first
senderhas had brains enough not to
write too much upon them.
To you the practise of sending and
receiving Christmas cards may be
either looked upon as charming or
tiresome, but any 'way you view the
subject you must admit that the cus-
tom is so universal to -day that you
believe it must 'have come down
through the ages.
But it hasn't. Why your grand-
fathers and your grandmothers nev-
- er sent out Christmas cards or re-
ceived them either. For the very
good reason there were none to send
or receive. In fact the custom
is one of moderately recent date.
It is really astonishing how man-,
kind managed to get along without
them for such a long time, but aston-
ishing or not, it is nevertheless true
that the Christmas card did not
make its appearance until the mid-
dle of the last century, and did not
become a social custom until the late
seventies and early eighties.
The real old Christmas customs
are the Yule' logs and mistletoe which
go 'back to pagan times. And they
must be very good old customs—par-
ticularly the mistletoe—or they
would have outlived themselves cen-
turies ago. The singing of Christ-
mas carols is old too. It goes back
to the mediaeval church, but even
that custom fell off for a time,' at
least in Canada. They are back
again .stronger than ever.
But the Christmas card had to
await the coming of penny postage
in England, and the Christmas tree,
it is said, came over in the baggage
of Queen Victoria's husband, the
Prince Consort, when he - came to
England.
In fact the Christmas card owes
much to penny postage. Before its
advent, letters and cards were not
stamped by the sender. They were
paid for on delivery. No doubt lots
of us would like to have it that way
now. But don't harbor the wish.
Think how easy it would be for some
one to send us a few hundred cards
and letters—and let us pay the post-
age.
Even the Valentine Is much older
than the Christmas card. But the
Valentine habit is fading out. It
has been pushed aside by the Christ-
mas card, and the reason is easy to
find. People, that is nice people,
only sent one ;Valentine, so the

• History of the Posto•f five
•
Stone age Agnes plucked a wilts
rose, strolled musing to her cave, and
offered a stone cupful of honey to a
voracious younger brother if he would
deliver the flower to her sweetheart.
Arrivingat a distant cave, the boy
banded the rose to the lover, who re-
ceived it with the smile of masculine
triumph. For since the morning of
mankind, a rose has always been the
symbol for "I love you."
As centuries passed, men still clung
to symbols as a means of sending
messages to distant people. But they
learned to draw the symbols on stone,
wood, or bone, and later to {Taint
them on hide, bark or leaves'. Thus
evolved the ideograph: a series of
symbols to represent actions, emo-
tions, periods of time, states of being.
All alphabets, it is believed, derive
from various forms of the- ideograph.
Although methods of writing were
improved early, and by the sixth cen-
tury, B.C., written communication was
not unusual. delivery of letters bad
to be made by individual messengers
travelling on foot. But toward tthe
end of the sixth century the Persians
organized a postal system using re-
lays of men on horseback to carry
letters written on caly, stone and
meta.. Within a few years, mules,
comets and dromedaries were press-
ed into - service, and mail delivery by
tlti': method continued for many cen-
tures thereafter.
11istorians record a similar, courier
service in Babylon about 580 B.C.

sians were for use of the government
only.
The passing decades saw minor im-
provements, but not until the days
of the Roman Empire was the official

a high point of perfection Letters

government mail. Service was avail-
able to the public in almost every
country of Europe. In England, for
example, mail routes were laid out
between the principal cities, and by
1637 many branch offices shad been
established. France had introduced a
form of registered mail in 1627, and
26 years later an intra -city mall ser-
vice was set up in Paris. Boxes were
erected at convenient locations, and
even a form of postage stamp (a
w rapper with a receipt printed on it)
was used -
A notable development of the pos-
tal system occurred in 1680 when the
penny post was started in London. So
eager were people to send letters by
this cheap mettrad that the London
postal staff employed more persons
than all the other post offices of the
United Kingdom, together, Naturally,
in was not long before the govern-
ment took over this business.
But the average progress of a let-
ter at the end of the Seventeenth
century was little better than, four
miles an hour. As a result, special
messengers on horses were finally
authorized to meet the public's de-
mand for greater speed -the fleet real
special delivery.
The Eighteenth century saw the in-
troduction of the stage coach with a
consequent acceleration of mail trans-
mission'. When regular stage coach
services were first established, the
post office obstinately clung to its
tradition of dispatching its mails by
the post boys of the earlier period.
As a result, the public defied the raw
and sent their mail by coaches. In
1784 England adopted a regular coach
service for mail. Other European
countries followed suit the same year.
The growing popularity of newspa-
pers and books during the Eighteenth
century gradually increased the liter-
acy of the people and, consequently,
their desire and ability to write.
When the steamboat and railroad•
came into use in the Nineteenth cen-
tury, use of mail service was increas-
ed greatly.
While mail service was winning
popular' endorsement in England and
on the Continent, it also was talking
strong root in America. The first
-attempts to establish a postal sys-
tem here took place In the Seven-
teenth century. For several.- decades
after the first settlers arrived, med-
ieval methods were used. Some spe-
cial, messengers were sent between
villages car 'the same colony, but oth-
erwise letters were entrusted tn' mer-
chants and travellers. ;Mall bound
for the mother country was given in'
charge of sea captains.

Plum Pudding Froth Devonshire
Manny of us enjoyed plum pudding
during the festive sensors, the hind
one makes herself or boys, at the
stores here, but Mrs. S. Nethercott
and Airs. H. Greenwood had the prtir--
ikge of partaking of a real English

Devonshire, Englandi- Needless to
say, it oras an extra special treat, and
likely the only one of its kind irr
