This trend indicates in no uncer- tain manner that poultry producers in the Seaforth district appreciate the ad- vantages of selling, as well as buying, the Co-operative way. With the installation of this addi- tional grading equipment, and with added staff, you can be assured that eggs brought to us will be graded in the quickest possible time.

Will Christmas over lose its charm and romance Only .to: ,.,'those ' Who violate itssacred .implications by sac- rilege, • by selfishness; 'by sin! For Christmas Day was born out' of the mingUnfi of human happiness and Divine love, fulfilling a promise of Eternal Glory! It 1s centred in Child- hood, and Childhood is i t s loveliest symbol; go t fatherhood, not moth erhood, but .the cher- ished Babe, in >Whom.all the ,,,,,irrgmise of.the -'past; all the romance of nthe .present, and all the hope of the _ + future were impersonated- In mpersonated- In the birth of Jesus in the Bethle- hem manger, God hath chosen a sim- ple situation of life- to confound the things that ...mere mighty. A Jewish babe? That was an everyday affair! What? Born in a stable? Rather novel, wasn't it? But what was !hart beside the pomp and masquerade' of Caesar's dominions? Caesar's order must be obeyed; all must be enroll- ed! Did Joseph have his son enroll- ed? That is ,, very important, you know-, for Caesar,^hath ordered it, and Joseph must obey, on'pain of death. But there was one Jewish babe that was not enrolled under Caesar that day. And before Him the Wise Men of the East bowed themAelves, as have the wisest and strongest men ever since. All the pomp and pagentry of Caesar's court have long ago gone in- to obscurity, but the Child Jesus lives and reigns over regions that Caesar never heard of. And the Light of His Star is still bringing Wise Men from afar and the hum- blest men from the near' hillsides, t o orship at His feet. They are not im- pressed so much by the mystery of his birth, as with the.Ohrist-child Himself. He, and not his birth, is the Great miracle of the ages! And it was He, more than. anyone else, that sanctified childhood. And what would Christmas be with- out the children? Rather a dull af- fair, we imagine. It may be partly true that Santa Claus, rather than Jesus, is their impersonator of good- will; but even that is not wholly out of place. To most of us, the crude baying about. of the Holy Child, and the promiscuous use of His name in a spirit of frivolity would. be sacri- lege. Let the children know that Christmas Day is Jesus' birthday, and not that of Santa Claus, anil they will' soon learn to distinguish be- tween the two. In their childish im- aginations they conjure up the kind- liness and joviality and stir up with- in their elders the romance of Home and family affection. We enter into their joys and enthusiasm, and are young again with them. And that is what makes. Christmas a Christian festival—the finest of the year! With- out them Christmas Day becomes just Cher holiday, and a rather dull one that. But Christmas Day will nev- ose its meaning, nor its charm, as as there are children to cele - e it, And it will never reach its est -significance until every child an at er Ion bra hig of very Kingdom shall have learned of o Lord's humble entrance into _this st nge, distracted world. May y ur Christmas be a Happy One!—(Written• on behalf of the Min- isterial Association of Seaforth and Community by J. R. Peters, B.A.). Holds Christmas Meeting. — The Christmas meeting of the Alert Mis- sion Band was held in the schoolroom of the ,United Church on Tuesday after school, and opened by singing "Away in a Manger." Mrs. Bradshaw led in prayer, followed by the Lord's Prayer . repeated in unison, Jack Crozier .read the Scripture, Matthew 2, verses 1-15. The secretary, Gwen Christie, read the November minutes. The roll call was answered by forty- three members. Mrs. Barber told a Christmas story, which everyone en- joyed. The business period followed. After the offering another hymn, "Hark! the Herald' Angels Sing," was sung, and the meeting closed with the Mission Band benediction A party then follo*ed when games were play- ed and the leaders treated the chil- dren to refreshments.

So the Egg Board of Victoria offered $260 prize for a nest that would clear the egg • before the hen could muddy it up. As a result, the Board's office in Mel- bourne soon got cluttered up with an, 1 array of models, some of them calcu- lated to upset the equanimity of even the most, stolid$hen, says the Austra- 1 Tian News. One model incorporates If draw- bridge, gearwheels, collection box, and conveyer belt. As-- soon as the henlays an egg, it rolls down a chute to the conveyor belt. The hen must cross the drawbridge to leave the nest. Her weight causes the draw- bridge to drop and set in motion the gears which cowry the egg along the conveyor belt and into the collection I box. Some models, says the News, utilize cereal packets and hairpins. Others are masterpieces of the metal- worker's art. ZURICH Mundy - Uttley A lovely wedding was solemnized :at Main Street United Church Par- sonage, Mitchell, when Pauline Uttley, daughter 'of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Uttley, of Zurich, became the bride of James L.
