SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, DECEMBER 27, 1957
e Old Christmas Story In Modern Tones
(Luke 2, Verses 1-20, R.V.)
In those days a decree went out
from Caesar Augustus that all the
iVorld should be enrolled. This was
P,b,the first enrolment, when Quirinius
was governor of Syria. And all went
to be enrolled, each to his own
city. And Joseph also went up from
Galilee, from the city of Nazareth,
to Judea, to the city of David, which
is called Bethlehem, because he was
of the house and lineage of David,
to be enrolled with Mary, his be-
trothed, who was with child. And
while they were there, the time came
for her to be delivered. And she
gave birth to her first-born son and
wrapped him in swaddling cloths,
and laid him in a manger, because
there was no room for them in the
inn.
And in that region there were
shepherds out in the field, keeping
• watch over their flock by night. And
an angel of the Lord appeared to
• them, and the glory, of the Lord
shone around them, and they were
filled with fear. And the angel said
to them, "Be not afraid'; for behold,
I bring you good news of a great joy
which will come to all the- people-,
for to you is born this day in the city
of David a Saviour, who is Christ
the Lord. And this will be a sign for
you: you will find a babe wrapped in
swaddling cloths and lying in a
manger." And suddenly thffe was
with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God and say-
ing:
"Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth, peace among men
with whom he is pleased !"
When the angels went away from
them into heaven, the shepherds said
to one another, "Let us go over to
Bethlehem and see this thing that
has happened, which the Lord has
made known to us." And they went
with haste, and found Mary and
Joseph, and the babe lying in a:man-
ger. And when they saw it they
made known the saying which had
been told them concerning the child;
and all who heard it wondered at
what the shepherds told them. But
Mary kept all these things; ponder-
ing them in her heart. And the shep-
herds returned, glorifying and prais-
ing God for all they had heard and
seen, as it had been told them.
We appreciate the good-
will and friendship that
exists between our patrons
and ourselves.
It is with this relation-
ship in mind that we take
pleasure in extending the
fullest measure of Yule-
tide blessings!

No Phones
Telephone service was discontin-
ued entirely in and out of RCAF
Station, Clinton, on Tuesday, when
construction crews at work install-
ing the new gas pipeline, acci-
dentally cut the underground
cables. According to W. Haysom,
Goderich, manager of the Bell
Telephone Company, there had
been some work done by the com-.
pany in staking out the location
of the cables, but apparently the
digging crew began their excava-
tion in a slightly different location,
and with one of the first scbops
of earth, their machine broke the
cable in two places, requiring four
different splices. — Clinton News -

"Due to the fact that clubs arrive

to .start Abe 'games on time, as
scheduled, the league has found it
necessary to protect the specta-
tors, to assess a fine to the offend-
ing team, of $25, After this warn-

Play Facilities Overtaxed
As a means of trying to relieve
the overtaxed playroom accommo-
dation at the Lucknow Public
School, staggered recess periods
are to be given a trial. There
are 120 boys and 80 girls attend-
ing public school, and the indoor
playroom facilities are inade7
quate to accommodate such an en-
rolment. At the December meet-
ing -of the school board, Principal
Stuart Collyer suggested the stag-
gered recess as a means of help-
ing solve the problem. Commenc-
ing in the New Year the serving
of noon -hour hot drinks will be re-
sumed for those children who find
it necessary to bring their lunch.

YEARS AGONE
Interesting items gleaned from
The Huron Expositor of 25, 50
and 75 years ago.
er, of Tuokersmith, last Wednes-
day, the following gentlemen were
appointed delegates to attend the
Reform convention at Toronto
next week, viz: David Walker,
John Hannah, George Walker,
Peter McTavish, Samuel Smillie,
David Manson and William Mc-
Millan.
The meeting of Hibbert electors
on nomination day was attended
with usual interest. Mr. Alex Mc-
Laren, Hibbert, the present, reeve,
will be opposed by Mr. F. Oliver.
Mr. John Burns was elected depu
ty-reeve by acclamation, while the
old councillors and several others
aspire ,sto seats at the council
board.
Messrs. W. Campbell, of Har-
purhey, and Peter Hawthorne, of
Hullett, returned home from Mus-
koka on Thursday evening of last
week. They bad a very success-
ful expedition. Mr. Campbell got
20 deer, besides small game, and
Mr. Hawthorne over a dozen.
Houghton & Kyle are just now
taking in and baling an immense
amount of good &3y, which is hav-
ing a beneficial effect on the hay
market.
Owing to the unusually mild
weather, the curlers are losing all
their fun this winter so far. There
has not yet been sufficient frost
to make the ice good enough for
curling on, and skating has not
been very good either.
WILLIAM McKENZIE
Reeve of Town of Exeter
sented by the centre's board to
council indicated a deficit will be
relieved by the $1,000 grant. .,De-
spite the board's 'discouraging fin-
ancial picture, Reeve Wm. McKen-
aie, a member, said ,"it's in the
best shape it has ever been at
this time of the year."—Exeter
Times -Advocate.
Treat Orphans
About 55 members of Mrs. M.
C. Fletcher's Bible Class of James
Street United Sunday School mo-
tored to London Tuesday evening
and provided Christmas entertain-
ment for a Protestant orphanage.
The program consisted of songs,
carols and a visit from Santa
Claus who provided presents for
all. • Following the visit to the
orphanage, the party toured Lam-
beth to view the Christmas decora-
tions in that village. Oh their re-
turn to. Exeter a hot lunch was
provided in James Street parlors
by some of the mothers of the
group.—Exeter Times -Advocate.
No Addition
Consideration has been given to
construction of another science
room at Goderich District Colleg-
iate Institute, but it is • unlikely
that further action will be taken
in the near future. Members of
the GDCI Board recently met with
a Department of Education inspec-
tor. Earlier, the inspector had
promised to take the matter up
with his superiors to obtain their
views on whether the board should
proceed further or not.—Goderich

Fleet Ties Up
The Goderich winter fleet this
year is made up of 19 boats: Last
boat to arrive was the Saskadoc
which steamed into port at about
7:30 a.m. last Saturday with grain
from the Lakehead. The same boat
wintered here last season and was
the first boat out of the harbor
last spring, on April 4, to be ex-
act. Total amount of grain in the
two elevators and stored in the
boats is 8,625,000 bushels. In the
Goderich Elevator and Transit
Company are 3,000,000 bushels,
while • there are 1,625,000 bushels
in their storage boats. In the
elevators of the Upper Lakes arid
St. Lawrence Transportation Com-
pany are 1,500,000 bushels and in
their storage boats are 2,500,000
bushels.—Goderich Signal -Star.
