To Citizens of Seaforth and District We Extend Beat Wishes For a Happy Holiday Season! SEAFORTH FIRE BRIGADE ANGUS MacLEAN, Secretary JOHN F. SCOTT, Fire Chief The Canadian Army has had a busy year in 1952 with commit- ments to the United Nations in Korea and to NATO in Europe, plus a full twelve-month programsof training at home designed to in- crease the effectiveness of our home defences and train soldiers for the overseas Brigades. The above photos show some of the main features of the Canadian Army's efforts during 1952. 1. Opening of the. College Militaire de St. Jean In Quebec last September provided French-speaking Canadians with the equivalent of R.M.C. for the first time in Canada's history. The photo shows the Governor-General inspecting the cadets at the official opening ceremonies. 2. Anti-aircraft gunners go into action near Montreal during an exercise designed to test the effectiveness of Canadian defences against enemy air raids. 3. Canada's 27th Brigade, which has undergone intensivetrain- ing in Germany as an integral part of the NATO forces parades in Hannover. 4. The new Centurion tank which is being taken into use by the Canadian Army. This is one of the major changes in the Army's equipment program. 5. Soldiers from Canada's 25th Brigade, fighting with United Nations forces in Korea, continued to slug it out with the commun- ists in Korea during the year.. The photo shows "Little Gibraltar," the battle -scarred peak where the Canadians fought a notable en- gagement last October. 6.. Rotation of troops both to and from Korea and Germany took place in an ever increasing scale during the year and were the cause of such happy scenes as the one pictured here as husbands and sons returned to their loved ones at home. • Christmas a r d •., Ar • "Christmas Card" is just a story, an easy -reading fantasy about Christmastime. There's delight in the tale for the youngsters—and there's a mor- al in its ending for the adults. The author, John R. Gerrard, is on the CBC's television pro- duction staff in Toronto. But read' oh; you'll enjoy "Christ- mas Card." I am the Spirit of Christmas. No doubt you have heard of me at some time or another. What do I do? I attempt to fos- ter the feeling of good -will in peo- ple and remind those who have for- gotten that a certain Blessed Child was born to set us all an example that should be our guiding star al- ways. Is that all I have to say, you ask? Why certainly not. I have a story to tell you that will illustrate just what kind of diffi- culties. confront a Spirit of my pro- fession. Just a minute—Don't go away. I think perhaps this tale might in- terest"you and might recall some- thing familiar. Besides, it's not Very often a spirit gets an oppor- tunity to 'talk to you, as you may well realize. Come over here while I tell you the part I played in help- ing one poor lad named David to have a. truly happy Christmastide. * Not many years ago I was as us- ual surveying all my customers to see that they enjoyed the best I eduld offer them. I was well pleas- ed with the general picture and was just about to : compliment myself When I happened to drift by a tall white house that was liberally, 4Prinkled with all the expensive ao- eessories one expects • to see in a house of this size. In one corner of the mansion was a beautiful nursery with enough playthings, for at least half -a -dozen small boys. In the middle of the room sat the soli- tary figure of a Pair -haired lad. I Could tell in an 'natant that he was obviously unhappy and, had not had the pleasure of enjoying my com- fort. I quickly looked through my records and found that the boy's name was David. David, I decided, needed my help, and so I lost no time in summoning my dear spirit friend Timothy, who was approxi- mately the same age as the deject- ed figure in the nursery below. could enjoy himself most for it was at this time I experienced my great est success. Knowing that David had never truly felt MY presence Iti picked, a family where' I was' well, represented and deposited the two boys in ,their millet., .,.: David..'heti been a little . wormed, throughout; the trip, but Timothy bad. comfort- ed omforted him considerably .and by..,•the time we had arrived at'eur destina. tion the two of the* were great pals. Instead .of the sallow -faced boy of the nursery, I saw a boy flushed with pleasure ,and excite- ment; and 1 noticed -how his eyes took on a new• sparkle when he viewed the picture I laid before hima. , At one end of the long room a huge fireplace radiated warmth and cheerfulness. In .the centre of the floor a Tong table stood laden With the delicacies that are all a part of a Christmas eve dinner. The two boys seated themselves at at the table and a ruddy complexioned man in tight pants and shiny boots carved a glistening turkey into appetizing slices. I was well pleased • with the at- mosphere. A brightly illuminated Christmas •tree with colorfullywra4e. ped presents tantalizingly living, at its, foot stood near the fireplace!, and the 'holly and mistletoe 'were! everywhere. David and Theethy. laughed In between mouthfuls.'' of turkey and pudding and then beg-, ged to rhn and open the presents., I felt a little hungry myself, se ae they moved out I moved in and picked the remains. y:• :. After Pelted setisfled my hrtngier I sat watching the two children?eag erly showing their presents t0 -the: smiling elderly couplu'who..stpod quietly over the kneeling boya.7 he - flickering shadows thrown .by'^ hO fire and the reflectiniia from the ornaments on tree gave just the effect I wanted. This scene was full of my handiwork and I think My instructor would have been proud of his favorite pupil if he could have been beside me to wit-' ness this personal trinmph. It was evident that David bad never before had so much fun. I hated to have to take him back to the scene of his former unhappi- ness but I realized it had to end soon. This event would be some- thing for .David to treasure for the rest of his life. He would always be able to remember the happiness of the Christmas that I had shown !him. I caught Timothy's eye, nod- ded,to him, and he understood, 110'' took David's hand and we hurried back to the present, and back to where the two of them were still walking in the ..garden with, the nurse. I told. Timothy to report back as soon as •pose+ible, and then I dozed once more. ' Thi•s• travel- ling was very tiring. Timothy and I had been friends for some time. He had been re- commended to me by one of my Spirit relations who is at present employed in another department. It took me quite some time to find young Tim, and when I did, it re- quired my authority as a senior Spirit as well as' a considerable amount of persuasion to get him away from a group of young angels he was playing with. Timothy was so irresponsible. I instructed Timothy as to what he was to do and then sent him post-haste to the scene and mater- ialized him just outside the front door. The snow was falling lightly (as I had instructed 01' Man Win- ter inter to make it) and the two orange porch lights that gleamed on either side of the, huge oak door illumin- ated lluminated decorations on and beside the door, that were hung in honor of My name. They were not a very good likeness. I leaned back on a convenient cloud and watch young Timothy knock at the front door. It was not quite time for me to act yet so I closed my eyes and dozed. When I awoke from my nap I rolled over the edge of the cloud and looked down. Things were go- ing amoothly. David' and Timothy were walking hand in hand down the long driveway with a nurse in close attendance. I gave Timothy. the signet to. loose David's mind from his body and the t'w'o of them travelled through space and back to the era of the hetet and . riage and • bustled ladies, it was in this •period that I felt DaVid • * * * Well my friend, that is the tale of young David.
