BOAR'S 'HEAD FEAST Queen's, College, Oxford'Univers- ity, has a 'Boar's Head Feast on Christmas Day, which originated in the' story of a student who was at- tacked by a wild 'boar some 500 years ago, while studying Aristotle during a walk. He killed his form- idable adversary by thrusting the volume down the animal's throat. Today a papier mache head replac- es the 90 -pound specimen under the weight of which two attendants us- ed to stagger in bygone days, but the spirit of the ceremony remains unchanged. As the choir sings the last notes of a traditional carol, the ,head is placed on the table of the Provost, the Principal of the Col- lege The 'Provost then presents the ornaments and embellishments one by one to the choirboys and visitors, the solo singer receiving the orange. f Huron, Perth jersey Cattle Breeders eHO Social So cgaEvening P Here ere A large -attend!anceof members, their wives, families and friends or the Huron and Perth Jersey Cattle Breeders' 'Association enjoyed' a social evening in the Community Centre here last week. A festive.: of the evening's program was filma shown by James M. Scott, Seaforth. One film of special interest was of his and his wife's recent visit to the Eastern United States; where they and their companions, Mr. and Mrs. R. S. MoKercher, R.R. 1, Dublin, visited the farm' of El- bert a. Brigham, of ,St. Alban's, Vt., and saw his .outstanding Jersey herd. M'r. Brigham has, for 10 con- secutive years, .held. the world's record' for the number of cows in production — over 100 cows in each year. This herd is of a larger type than is usually seen here, many of the cows weighing as high as 1,200 and 1,300 pounds. Euchre was played, with win- ners being Mrs. Purves Thompson, R.R. 8, St. Mart's; Mrs. I. Tre- wartha, R.R. 1, Seaforth; Lorna Hood, Atwood; Ephriam Haase, R. R. 1, Seaforth, and Thomas Carr, R.R. 6, St. Marys. Ronald and Barbara Trewartha, Gloria Carter and Don Cart- wright, a nembers of Huron County Dairy Calf Clubs, and Bill Gibson and Wayne Ische, members of Perth clubs, were present on spe- cial invitation.

Cedars of Lebanon Are Well Protected By Religion, Law On'a shelf-like plateau, 600 feet above the Mediterranean, the world's oldest Christmas trees stand where they have stood for centuries. The cedars of Leban- on, ebanon, 400 of them, are protected' by religion and law from harm at the hands of either the Moslems or the Masonite Christians. The magnificent trees "that sink of the nativity" were venerated as monarchs among 'tree9 long" before Judah had her first king. Some of them have a girth o€' 40 feet and a branch circumference of 300. In the days of the conquerors thousands of conscripted. Hebrew workers were sent into the Leban- ons to take to Jerusalem "cedar trees without number"; the result of one of the first building con- tracts, between Hiram of Plhonecia and .King Solomon. Today, hewever, the trees are protected by law and the depart- ment of agriculture of the govern- ment sponsors the planting of seed- lings, so that the giant cedars will grow forever. P THE "CAPTAIN'S ROUNDS" The Royal Navy tries to assure that as many aS possible of its ships are in harbor on Christmas Day. For the unlucky ones on patrol or on passage --and there are a good many this year in the Far East—the best than can be ex- pected is "Sunday routine", with work reduced to a minimum. Fes- tivities have to wait till harbor is reached. For the Navy in harbor, the big event of the day is "Cap- tain's Rounds," when 'the Command- ing Officer of each ship, attended' by his officers, goes the round of the whole ship, greeting his men and being offered' hospitality by them on each of the gaily decorat- ed mess decks. He is preceded by the youngest boy in the ship, dress- ed in the uniform of the ships' senior petty officer, the Master at Arms (or Police Chief of the ship). Men are allowed to wear improvis- ed fancy dress on that day and may even "impersonate" the captain. The youngest boy has his hour of glory again on New Yeas's Eve when he "rings out the Old and rings in the New"—with 16 bells instead of the traditional eight which mark the end of a four-hour period at sea. rented with gifts by R. E. White, agricultural representative of Perth on behalf of the Jersey breeders. Tom Rathwell, Clinton, and Lorne Carter and John Powell, .Seaforth, were in charge of cards. A lunch was served by Mrs. I. Trewartha, Mrs. L. Carter and Mrs. T. Rath - well. Irvin Trewartha, president, was chairman for the evening. Oth- er officers on the executive are: vice-presidents, Fred Ruthig, St. Marls, Thomas Rathwell, Clinton; secretary, G. W. Montgomery, agri- cultural representative for Huron; assistant secretary, R. E. White. A period of dancing wound up a' successful evening, with music sup- plied by Thomas Carr and Leonard Bragg, both of St. Marys.

We would also like especially to tell you of the help and the saving of funds the Relief Officers in your various• Township have accomplished•. They have taken time to listen to the various problems presented. They have understood the viewpoint presented to them and with your permission have granted relief in several instances, thus helping to keep the family togetheii-4in, its own home and enviren- ment. Possibly it would have saved worry and extra work on our part to have separated the family and taken .the children, placing them where we knew they would be safe and warm. Possibly the parents did not have yours.,,or our standards of living and morals. They may have bean in intelligence, only children of seven or eight years of age. Think of your own children of that age with the responsibility of mar- riage, family, earning a living and spending money wisely. Can you not see why some of these parents behave as they do and with whom we can be so impatient. I understand. you feel that relief is a frightful expense, but can you know what it would -cost in clothing necessities, board and bare living for a family of eight—giver $300.00 a month. That family, with thedielp of a police officer, relatives, the relief office and ourselves, is in its own home and was visited recently lust as the children came home from school. The kitchen was clean and there was freshly baked pies and buns, the children being given a' piece before going out again to play—a happy family. This did not happen in a day, but has been a slow process of faith of those concerned, advice of our Juvenile Court Judge, and the financial help in relief when needed. Do you not see with me how much was saved, not only in finances, but in emo- tions. If you had ever witnessed children having to be taken from their homes and the only ones they knew and loved, you would' know as we do what scars and memories are left with those same little ones. There are times when there is no other possibility but removal and we are grateful then for the homes that are opened and for the kindness of foster parents and their effort to make up for the heart- ache they know is there. I cannot believe that you, as a Council, can know how many indi- viduals are ready with help for the children of your County. If you realized that not one of your children had ever been turned from Wingham Hospital; that the doctors and the Superintendent examine and watch every baby taken them (and for the protection of adopting parents they are all taken there for such examinations) and this service is given to us for $1.00 a day—I can't think 'that if you realized what that hospital had saved you in money and lives that there would ever have been a question of not wanting to provide support they are asking. Huron County, can never sufficiently repay the Board, the doctors or the Superintendent of Wingham Hospital, for what has been done for the dependent children of this County through our Society. Little wonder that we, as workers, are proud to be connected with such organizations. We want you to know too that we are conscious of rising costs. We are aware that the dollar of yesteryear is not worth 50 cents today. That it is a struggle to live and save. In every possible way we would save you and in our effort to give to each child every neces- sity, we always have in mind the need for economy and practice it. O.ur clothing room has been of great assistance and the work of the board members in connection with it. We appreciate the understanding of the foster parents in con- tributing to the needs and life of a chili, not just getting all they an out of the County. I believe our County pays the lowest boarding ate of any County in the Province, but we believe we have the finest omes bemuseof the feeling we are all working together. This is one more reason for making us feel we are a very real art of this County, and for our appreciation of your understanding nd help as evidenced by those who recently attended a district meet - ng of the Society in Belgrave. c h p a 1 DRESSES and JUMPERS Nylon, Taffeta, Velvet, Wool, Plaids and Gabardines SIZES AND STYLES TO SUIT ALL AGES SEE OUR COMPLETE LINE OF CHILDREN'S NEEDS, FROM INFANTS to 12 YEARS THE KIDDIES SHOP MAIN STREET SEAFORTH "'r • "fl- 1/4 `Lr,I'_,.rF-•��f .'i•-^?,-ri ' i ..vi :T..,r" q+:ri tT.iti 1,._>r"f .� 44.
