A for- mer president of the London Central Lions Club and a for- mer District Governor, Mr. Den- nis was introduced by H. H. Leslie, who was chairman for the evening. The occasion was the December meeting of the Seaforth Lions Club, held in the Community Centre Monday ev- ening'. In the agricultural field, the dairying industry is exceeded only by beef in terms of vol- ume. The dairying total is snade up of four parts, includ- ing raw milk, butter, cheese, and concentrated or evaporated milk. The speaker indicated the extent to which production in the dairying industry increased during the past 25 years, and, as a result of improved breed - ng pfactices and an increased knowledge of feeding habits, it Iliad been possible to increase the production of a oow by 25 Der cent in that period, he said. Pointing out that he knew many who had been engaged in the dairying industry who had approached their task for what they could get out of it and who, as a result, had been unhappy D in it, Mr. ennis said that the (Same situation existed insofar as membership in the Lions Club was concerned. Satisfac- tion in a particular job flows, not from the benefits which re- mit, but from the opportunity which the position provides to ae1p others. It doesn't matter, /he said, whether one is engag- ed in dairying or is practising Lionism, the same final result is true. The activity is but a means to an end -an opportun- ity to serve. The thanks of the meeting was expressed by Charles A, Barber. -Diiring the program, A. W. Sillery, president of the club, presented awards to members of the Seaforth Club who had been members for 15 and 20 years.

No. 2, McKillop, Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. dnd Mrs. Ellwood Clarke Tues- day evening of this week. At- tendance numbered only 16 on account of the concert at Con- stance. In answer to question No. 1: Why do you think we should be concerned with helping the un- der -developed countries of the world? we say because these people are our brothers, and as such we should extend to them the hand of mutual aid and friendship and help them to a better way of life; failing this, they may get help from other sources, which could ruin the world. Question 2: Apart from tem- porary relief and direct gifts, what is the best form of help to give as a long term solution? Teach better methods af culti- vation and production; free ex- change of goods, and set an ex- ample of the better ways of life. Discussions were followed by rogressive eudhre. Winners were: ladies, Doreen Dolmage, Grace McBrien, Pauline , Dol - mage; men, Stewart Dolmage, Ephriam Clarke, Wm. Storey. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mr. and MTs. R. E.

COMMENDS CALLS HERE FOR CHIMNEY FIRES Seaforth firemen answered two calls on Friday as a result of fires in chimneys or stove- pipes. •The first call came late Fri- day morning when a chimney at the residence of Clarence Ma- lone, Main St. South, was on fire. The fire was extinguished in a few moments by the use of chemicals. That same evening a stovepipe at the Dick House caught on fire and was also ex- tinguished by the use of chemi- cals. The alarm also rang early _in the afternoon on Friday as a result of a test being carried out, following repairs which had been made to the system. In commenting on the alarms, Fire Chief John F. Scott sug- gested that the fact that the home owners had rung in alarms when the fires appeared to be of a relatively minor nature, had had the effect of possibly avoiding a major loss. Too fre- quently, Mr. Scott said, people see a small fire and hesitate to call the brigade in time. By the time the alarm is sounded the fire has reached proportions which make it difficult for the brigade to control, and which results in a loss of quite sub- stantial proportions. H.E.P•C. RULES DISCOUNTS ON POWER ARE OUT Seaforth power consumers will find their hydro bills high- er in future, as a result of a ruling of the Hydro Electric Power Commission. For many years power con- sumers have been allowed a special class discount, but --ac- cording to the H.E.P.C., this is not in accordance with its regu- lations, and it has accordingly instructed the Seaforth P.U.C. that the discount is to be dis- continued, effective with the February billing date. According to R. B. Holmes, P.U.C. manager, about a dozen power consumers will be affect- ed. The total amount involved will be approximately $1500 per year, he said. Prompt payment discount is not disturbed by the ruling and will ,continue in ef- fect.

DECEMBER 24, 1954 Santa Busy in Pre -Christmas Engagem Visits Seaforth and District utcois, Churc NORTHSIDE A very happy group of par- 'ents and children crowded Northside United Chtirch school oom for the annual Christmas The kindergarten presented Concert and pageant on Friday carols and recitations under the evening. Sam Scott, superin- leadership of Mrs. H. Snell, Mrs. tendent of the school, led in the opening carol and prayer, and welcomed the families to an ev- ening of happy fellowship. CHRISTMAS The following message was written for The Expositor by a member of the Seaforth and District Ministerial Associa- tion on behalf of the Association: Soft snow falling, Spirits bright. Fields, trees, rivers - everything -covered with snow, that white winter glory. It's Christmas and I love it! But what is Christmas? .To a vast multitude Christmas is that one season of the year when they feel justified in having a "good time." For them it is a time of feasting and merriment, with no thought being given to Him whose birth we commemorate during the Christmas festival. They are more or less cheerful pag- ans, who are not without their good qualities, such as the spirit of generosity, good will, and good humour. To others, Christmas is a time of remembrance and re- union. With Christmas greetings and presents, fellowship is renewed. The children are the highlight, and the family festival is a contrast to that first Christmas time when Herod massacred the infants. But there are some disturbing fac- tors even today. It is hard to imagine all homes being equally happy at Christmas time. Many family circles are being broken by death, either natural or accidental; -and by arrests of law -breakers. All these victims are human beings and their welfare influences the happiness of loved ones. Many regard the festivities of Christmas with their religious colorings as a refreshing interlude in the course of the year. Christmas coming in mid -winter makes -for them a pleasant bleak and gives promise of brighter days to come. They live for a prief period in another world, where life is simpler and meh are kinder; where they have an opportun- ity to escape from the grim realities of existence, from their haunting and harassing personal problems, from their cares and fears, and from the world outside with all its selfish- ness, suffering, sorrow and despair. A good holiday is an escape from daily duties and enables one to come back renewed in body, mind and soul. But to think of Christmas as an escape from life's grim realities, is not only to miss its meaning but to reverse it. Our ultimate problems are not material but spiritual and moral. Christ the Son of God became incarnate that He might meet man's deepest need. Man has various needs, but Christ shows him how the Lord came down "for us men and our salvation." The .Apostle Paul declares the glorious truth that "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sin- ners" (1 Tim. 1:15). On that first Christmas morning the Angel told the fearful shepherds to dismiss their fears, for he brought them "good tidings of great joy -for unto you is born this day a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord," (Luke 2:10-11). - „,4„5.r--7-4aft72- Man's need is so desperate; his "iron so perilous, that nothing less than the advent of Christ, in the form of human flesh, could both reveal our need and meet it. Christmas is a time that is so full of things which delight the eyes, the taste, and, in fact, all the physical senses, that unless we are very careful we will find ourselves sailing gaily through the advent season without realizing that it has a delight for our spiritual nature also. The tragedymany will face as Christ- mas comes again is that they will not find the Babe amid all the festivities of such a glad season. CHRIST will not be in their Christmas. To them+ ChristmaeaDay will be a lost day because its twenty-four hours will be spent on the enjoyment of the trappings of Christmas. Our heartfelt prayer is that countless numbers, who otherwise will merely keep Christ- mas may be led to think of its true meaning, and find the Babe and discover in Him the One, the ony One,. who can save from sin. It will avail nothing to them that Christ was born in Bethlehem, unless He is born within their hearts as Saviour. HENSALL RESIDENTS OBSERVE SIXTY-THIRD WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Mitchell, well-known residents of Hen- sall, will quietly observe their 63rd wedding anniversary over the Christmas holidays: They vividly recall their wedding day on December 23, 63 years ago. While driving to Dublin to take the train to Toronto and Mont- real for their wedding trip. they recall that it was a lovely mild day and the farmers were all out plowing the land.

IVIitehell, 87, have been residents of the village for 27 years, taking up residence here from Tuckersmith, where they had lived following their mar- riage, and where Mr. Mitchell farmed successfully.

SEE FILM ON ARE PREVENTION Seaforth Public School pupils witnessed a film on fire preven- tion practices, shown by F. C. Anderson, of the Fire Mar- shal's office, Toronto, at the public school auditorium on Thursday. The program was ar- ranged by Fire Chief John F. Scott. Introduced by Principal Jno. W. Talbot, Mr. Anderson ex- plained the means whereby chil- dren could assist the fire bri- gade in preventing fires, and pointed out the practices which all too frequently resulted in serious losses by fire. • Follow- ing the showing of the film, Mr. Anderson answered number of questions which were raised by the pupils of the school. It is intended that the film will be shown at the Seaforth District High School and also to pupils of the Seaforth Separate School early in January, ac- cording to Fire Chief Scott. B. F.
