From the C.N.R. sta- tion the parado will form at 2 p.m, and, headed by the Blyth. Citizen's Band, will proceed ip town to the large tree on Main street..' The Annual Christ- mas Tree is Sponsored by the locaj Fire Brigade, members of whom are very anxious°'.to make it a success, Grown-ups acid children from every- where are invited to bo present and join in the fun. This is a .grand op- portunity' for parents to wind up their Christmas shopping while the kiddies are enjoying Santa's visit. There will be a big bag of candies and nuts for every child who comes, Then in the evening there is the Big Christi pas Concert, in Memorial Hall. The program is put on entirely by schools from the surrounding ter. ritory and the Blyth school and chug. cites, Two numbers from each school will make •up the program, We feel sure that every parent In. the various sections represented have pride enough in their own school to want, to tie present and see how their children measure up' with the children from the other schoo:s, Santa will be on deck at night too, and again there will he candies for all the children. Friends may also put gifts on the tree for chil- dren too if. they so desire. Another fine gesture rising out of Santa's visit is the delivering of has- kets of goodies to the shut-ins of the r iila,o, We feel sure this is very much appreciated. • The afternoon and evening silou� be heaps of fun for both grown ups and children, and you and yours are extended a very hearty invitation to be present on this occasion.

Pity the poor turkey this week, or maybe it's that fat, goose or that tine rooster whose lordly command of the barnyard was cut short a few weeks ago when then lord or lady of the house- hold cooped him up and has fed him tenderly ever since so that ho might be in fine shape for the axe when the festive day arrives. Christmas to us humans may be the most happy and festive season of the year, but to these poor . defenceless creatures of the dumb world it will just be "ono :lg pain in the neck," Many Nominations Coming Up Over Week -End. • Those municipalittea whore early nominations and elections were not in vogue will nominate candidates for municipal office :this, week -end or 'on Monday, which: is thie year ` a public tioliday. The'fact...that many people will be away on Monday or will have friends at their own home, will prob. ably decrease'tho attendance at these Nomination Meetings: Local nomin- ations will be on the holiday, nomin- ations being from 12 tol' and the Nem - 'dation Meeting at 8 p. m. the same evening, Morris Township will hold their Nomination ,fleeting on Friday afternoon, nominations to be open from 12 to -1 o'clock, Enst.and West Wawanoah, Hullett Asad Colborne all participated In early election, so with the exception of Clinton and Seatorth, there is tow others of importancetct local readers: It is reported that a lively time ,is expected in Clinton this year whore this year's reeve, Fred Livermore is likely to be opposed by one of thts..yoar's .councillors, W. Glen Cook, and a third contestant is a prob• rile starter, he being. David Churchill, an aspirant to council in that town for the past tow years. It Is the'duty of all ratepayers to at- tend these moeings,' where the bind - netts of the municipality is discussed openly, and where . all those with grievances have a chance to bring them to the torn, and have idiom threshed out. A council is a body elec• ted by the ratepayers to do their business for them, and it Is up to tho ratepayer to see that a good council is put there to do the job. Boxing Day Out. Blyth merchants, ' will not observe Boxing Day this year,- which of course will bo Tuesday, Several of the larger centres where many business office employees and employers spend the holiday away will take advantage of the extra day to allow these who might so desire to take full advantage of the holiday, but in the smaller con - tree this circumstance does not affect so many.

It reminds a man to' set his own little watch now and then by the great clock of humanity. But there is a better thing than the observance of Christ- mas Day and that is the keeping of Christmas. • Are you willing to fq eget; what you have done -for others people and tae ref' in"be ;'what'other:people have done for you ; to' ignore what the world owes you and tothink what you owe the world; to put your rights in the background, your duties in the middle distance and the chance to do a little more than your dutyin the foreground; .to see that your just are its real as you are and to try to look behind their faces to their hearts, hungry ,for joy; to own that probably the only good reason for your existence is not what you are going to get out of line but what you are going to give to life; to close your book of complaints against the management of the Universe and look around you for a place where you can sow a..few seeds of happiness? Are you willing to do these things for a day? Then you can keep Christmas. Are you willing to stoop down and consider the needs ano desires of little children; to -remember the weakness and loneliness ot people who are growing old; to stop asking how much your friends love you and ask yourself whether you love them enough; to bear in mind the things that other people have to bear in their hearts; to try to understand what those who live in the same house with you really want without waiting for them to tell you; to trim your lamp so that it will give more light and less smoke, and'to carry it in front so that your shadow will fall behind you; to make a grave for your ugly thoughts and a garden for your kindly feelings with the gate open. Are you willing to do these things for a day? Then you can keep Christmas. Are you willing to.believe that love is the strong- est thing in the world, stronger than hate, stronger than evil, stronger than death—and that the Blessed Life that began in Bethlehem nineteen hundred years ago is the image and brightness of Eternal Love ? Then you can keep Christmas. And if you keep it for a clay, why not always? But you can never keep it alone. i'4 .I LOCAL hfAPPENI1VG ./r Hydro Official In Town.

But at the price of Christmas Cards one would hardly imagine that 1 the most economical would think of this unique and rather novel idea. Over the week -end we were shown a Greeting Card which really spelled economy with a capital "E". The send- er of the greeting had folded a rather attractive sample of wallpaper, so tint the border ran along the top, and on 1 the front was typewritten "Season's Greetings."

Ice returns to his Circle L ranch to find his father dead and `sinister forces at work, trying to make him violate his parole so that he can again be railroaded to prison. The Brockwells and their gang are plotting to gain possession of Circle L ranch and the property of Mona Hall, a neighbor and life-long friend of Slim Loyale. • Slim discovers that Sheriff Star - buck has Joined the plot against him. With the help of Dakota Blue and his cowboys, Slim Loyale defies the land -grabbers to do their worst, CHAPTER XIII. "Arthur claims it'll shore boom this range. Says a lut of cattlemen down in the Big Bend country are gonna pull stakes an' bring their ••�-tup through here to the new range. Understand that sheep in- terests have got 'eat just about lick- ed down in the Big Bend, Sounds good; but me, •I don't take much stock in what George Arthur says. He kin Ile faster'n a good boss can run." About That Mortgage Slim nodded, rather absently. The proposed opening of the gov- ernment lands along the K(capoo _River had been a much discussed item for several years that he knew ot. It'was a Subject that had grown cold to him. And besides, just now he was wondering what angle of approach to use on George Arthur about the mortgage, Dakota Blue, however, with a sudden gleam in his eyes, pulled the paper to him and began reading it carefully. Slim rolled a cigarette, lit it, then went over to the pool table and began idly punching the balls about. Presently came the thud of hoofs and a lone puncher rode down the street, stopping before Jigger Star - buck's office. He dismounted and went in, to reappear about live minutes later and cross to the saloon. He was a diminutive, shriveled - up, crooked -legged ,fellow, with a pair of flaring bat-wing chaps so enormous as to make hien appear almost square. He had a pair of beady, button, black eyes, set In a wrinkled, mahogany -brown visage. Half hidden by the flare of his chaps, a pair of big, black Colt gums dragged at itis waist. As the newcomer stepped into the room, Dakota Blue turned to half face him, his eyes wary, his right hand dropping until his thumb was hooked in his belt. The new- comer grinned crookedly, • !Go on with yore readin', Blue," he remarked in a thin, whispery ,"'" voice. "All l'm after is a shot of liquor, providin' Dillon will sell it to me. , I understand he told my boss an' Leo that their money wasn't any good. Flow about it, Dillon? Does that apply to the whole I-Ialf Diamond 13 outfit?" "Not if they mind their business, Cinder," growled Dillon. "What'll it be?" Foreman Wanted 'Bourbon," the puncher announc- ed, rocking up to the bar. "Blue, will yuh an' Loyale have one with me?" Dakota shook We just turned same offer." Cinder Alton shrugged, ''Okay! Lots of fellers don't care for liquor before noon. Me, I'm different. Any time is drink time to me," And again he smiled that crooked, twisted snlile, When Alton finished his drink he turned, leaning his shoulders against the bar, hooking a negligent heel over the bar rail. As he rolled and Melded a 'cigarette, his eyes rested steadily upon Slim, "Don't know where the l-Ialf Diamond 13 could pick up a new foreman, do yuh, Loyale?" he asked. "We lost Rango Deale last night." Naw!" exploded Spud Dillon be- •'- i-„ e11m vnuld acs ver, "Yui I lT.,.. couidi It inti). his head. "Thanks. Spud clown on the don't inn 11 ; pen, Cinder?" "Stopped a slug. It broke Rango's neck, clean as a whistle." Dakota smiled thinly. "That's tough. Some fellers seem born to stop lead. Yuh'd thought Deale would have learned that, long time ago." "Yeah," agreed Alton, "yuh would at that. Iloved yuh get the hole in yoro hat, Loyale?" A subtle change came into Al - ton's voice at this question. It grew flat and toneless to a degree. His hands had dropped to his hips with the words and his eyes were hard as obsidian. Suddenly Slim knew he was looking straight into the eyes of death, but he did not quail. tie squinted Carefully along his cue, made the shot and dropped the six ball into a Coiner pocket... "Rango Dente put it there with a .45, Alton," he drawled., "1t was rotten shootin'." "Yeah," agreed Alton coldly, "It 1 } was. Me, I alias' could out -shoot Rango. Don't move, Blue, or I'll spatter yuh against that bar like a rotten tomato." Grimace of Hate By some uncanny legerdemain Alton had slipped one of his guns free and now held it bearing direct- ly upon Dakota's belt buckle. He flicked out the other and couched it at his hip,' the muzzle looking Slim directly in the eye, ''Rango should have put his slug. just• about four inches lower,"' he observed with a chill laugh. "That's where I aim to put mine," He flare - ed into sudden fury, his thin lips peeling back over his teeth in a grimace of hate. "Damn yuh!" he whispered. '.'Yuh lcllled Rango—killed my pal. Did yuh think I'd let yuh get away with anythin' like that? Not by a jugful —1'11 give yuh now, in about ten seconds, what yuh gave to him," Spud Dillon's voice broke in, a little thick and wheezy, but very determined, "What yo're gonna do, Cinder, yuh poison whelp, is drop them guns, now!" And with the beginning of his words, Spud shov- ed the gaping muzzle of a bulldog neck. (To Be Continued) Canadian Girls Air Stewardesses Six Are Chosen From Amongst 1,500 Applicants for Posi- tions With 'Dans-Canada Airline3 Out of more than 1,000 Cana- dian girls who made applications, six will become stewardesses of the Trans -Canada Air Lines this month, according to announce- ment made at T.C.A. headquar- ters, Montreal. After informal schooling lasting two weeks, they will be given actual flight train- ing over the route between Win- nipeg and points west. Twenty- five stewardessestwill be employed in all, the remaining 19 to be chosen early in the new year. Must Be Registered Nurse An air stewardess must have more than a pleasing personality. Although that, is an important at- tribut officials of the air line pointl)ut, in the first place she must he a registered nurse. She must also be a sort of walking en- cyclopedia, able to answer the questions of passengers regarding both the aircraft and the route over which it flies. While the T.C.A. has no rigid standards regarding physical characteristics, the flying steward- ess is usually between 21 and 26 years old, weighs not more than 125 pounds, and is between five feet and five feet and a half in height. Activities En Route The activities of stewardesses , en route will include the serving of such refreshments as coffee or . hot chocolate and seeing that passengers are supplied with cig- arettes and chewing gum. The chewing guns helps equalize the pressure as the plane descends, the act of frequent swallowing keeps the ear drums flexible, Royalty Choose Christmas Cards Photograph of Garden at Bal- moral Castle is Choice of the King Photographs of the royal fam- ily's 1938 Christmas cards were issued last week by the printers, Raphael, Tuck & Sons, Limited.

Finds Women Best Walkers New York State Bureau Learns Men Lead in "Jay - Walking" Women, the Nev Toric State Bur- eau of Motor Vehicles has decided, are not only "more proficient or more considerate" automobile dri- vers than men, but, as pedestrians, they- do less jay -walking." That conclusion was based 'on a report of pedestrian • accidents for what is termed two typical months —January and July, 1935—in which 5,263 accidents killed 207 pedes- trians and injured 5,262, Fewer Accidents Proportionately "Less than two per cent. of all drivers involved in fatal and only 4.1 per cent. of those involved in non-fatal pedestrian - accidents were women," the report says, "While it is true the majority of motor vehicle operators are men, the ratio of then drivers to women drivers is not as great as is the ratio of accidents involded male drivers involving the woman oper- ator." Asserting women "also have a better record as pedestrians," the repo► t said deaths of male •pedes- trians exceeds those of women by 'three to one.

Pickthall, Sunday School Lesson A LESSON XIII GOD'S GREAT LOVE Golden Text God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3: 16. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time,—The time of our Lord's birth is still a natter of dispute, but we follow here the chronology of Samuel J. Andrews , and many others, and date it in December, 6 B.C. Tho visit of the Wise Men, therefore, took place in February, 4 B.C. Place,—Jerusalem, of course, was the capital of Palestine, locat- ed in the province of Judea, while Bethlehem was in the same prov- ince six miles to the south. 1. Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea. Bethlehem was tho home of Ruth and Boaz, and consogprently was the birth- place of David, from whose royal like the Son of David came. In the day of Herod the king. This Herod was called Herod the Great, the son of Antipatei': Behold, Wise -men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying. The word here translated "wise -men" is the f reek word "magi". They were men truly learned in mathe- matics,, astronomy, geography, and medicine. Star In the East 2, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? It is a truly great question as to how these men ever knew that a king of the Jews had been born. There was, throughout the ancient world at this time, the expectancy ,of the coming of some great king. Suetonius, a famous Latin wyiter of tho first century, said, "There iniad spread over all the Orient an old and established belief that it was fated at that time for ' a nian ' coming from Judea to rule the world." For we saw his star in the east, and are come to worship him, A great deal of speculation has arisen regard- ing this star, Some believe that it was some conjunction of heav- enly bodies, which the Wise Men recognized as a phenomenon of unusual significance, Matt. 2: 3-8. 3. And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled. The foreigner and us- urper feared a rival, and the ty- rant feared the rival would be wel- come. And nil Jeeneelem with him. It Is Written d. And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born. What irony that Herod was compelled to consult the very men, whom, years before, he had tried to extermin- ate_' And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judea: for thus it is written through the prophet, 6. And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, art in no wise least among the princes of Judah: for out of thee shall come forth a governor, who shall be shepherd of my peo- ple Israel. This most remarkable prophecy is found in Mich 5: 2, and was uttered seven hundred years before our Lord's birth. 7. Then Herod privily called the Wise -men, and learned of them exactly what time the star ap- peared. 3. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search out exactly concerning the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word, that I also may come and worship him. This monstrously cruel king did not want to go to Bethlehem to worship Jesus as he said, but, as later events proved, to put this very babe to death, that there might be no possible chance of a rival king growing up in the land. The Worshippers Matt. 2: 9-12. 9. And they, having heard the king, went their way; and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. 10, And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. The contrast between the fear of this wicked king and the joy possessing the heart of these sin- cerely seeking Wise Men is a les- son all of itself. 11, And they came into the house. And saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down. The verb here is the same one used of a servant falling down to a king (Matt. 18: 26, 29). And worshipped him, The Wise Men were the first of a great num- ber of people of every kind who worshipped the Lord Jesus when he was on earth. And opening their treasures they offered unto hiri gifts, gold and frankincense '"`,,0 °��(_Itello,,rookt and myrrh. From the fact that there were three gifts the tradi- tion has developed that there were three Wise Men, and only three, but there is nothing in this record to Substantiate such an idea. We cannot help feeling that these gifts do have sonic spiritual signifi- cance. • From the gifts here presented by the Wise Men undoubtedly comes the custom of giving gifts at the ;Christmas season, In all our giving to one:another, which is always a joy, or should be, let us not mass the true significance of Christmas, but give what we give in the name of the Lord Jesus. 12. And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed in• to their own country another way. When Christmas First Was Celebrated The earliest celebration of the birth of Christ, December 26 of each year, took place in ' the Fourth Century', and the custom spread from the western to the eastern church. Before that date the ccimmemoi•ation of Christ's nativity and.. baptism took place January 6. First mention of Christmas is found in a Roman document known as the "Philocalian calen- dar," in the year 364, and the first English celebration of the festival was in 598, when St. Augustine baptized 10,000 converts. Ir>< 567, the Council of Tours, France, declared a 12 -day festival from Christmas to Epiphany,. and later, from 991 to 1016, the laws of Ethelred ordained that all strife should cease at Christmas. In Ger- many, Christmas was established in 813 by the Synod of Mainz, and in Norway by King Haakon the Good, in 950. David, the Shepherd By Molly Chittick "You can't go out to tend the sheep tonight, Judah," David heard the choke In his mother's voice. "The lion's claws have wounded you sore. 1 will find someone to send out with them." "Ho is hot, so hot," she whisper- ed to David after his father had fallen into a troubled sleep. "It will make him sick unto death if he goes out on the plain." "Fear not, mother, 1 will go. Now that I am fourteen, I can prove my- self a man. I will go, like my great forefather, David, the king." Rebeccalm bade hint good-bye ten- derly. "Had I a son older, I should send him. But you are all I have. Take care, The lion may return." So David drove his father's flock herds watched their flocks by night. The cool breeze from off the mountains made him draw Ills cloak close. Suddenly over the hill before him he saw a group of men approach- ing. That was a surprising thing, to see men wandering about at night. But there was nothing alarm- ing in their action. They seemed to be filled with excitement and joy. Now one of them called: "Who is this, guarding his sheep here? Oh, is it you David, son of Judah? Come with us, We have seen yon star, brighter than any star of the morning. It is moving, and we are following it." - David was on his feet, listening with boyish excitement to their tale of the words they had heard from the heavens, as an angelic host praised Jehovah. His heart burned within him, and he was eager to accompany the band of shepherds, Then he heard ono of the young Iambs: "Ma-aa•aa," The answering bleat came from a distance. Tho mother had wandered off in search of tender morsels. David hoard heard once again his mother's warning. "I have come to guard my fath- er's flock, I cannot go with you." ''We left our sheep, David. This is the king you are about to see. We must go. You are a fool to stay here with these few sheep, when the King is to be seen." "I came here to tens this flock. It is not mine, but it is my task," was his only reply, When they saw that he would not accompany them, they made haste to be on their way. At first his excitement over the tale the shepherds had told him kept him awake. But gradually his eyes grew heavy, He was almost asleep when he heard the "Ma•aa- aa," of a young Iamb again. He jumped to his feet, conscious that he had forgotten to hunt up that wandering mother. With stat in his hand, and his sling ready to use, he listened for a moment, Then he saw the sheep, standing some dis- tance, from the others, its head raised listening to something he could not hear. But David knew what was to be found there. With the starlight shining full upon it, crouched a lion ready to spring, Swift as the David of old, the lad swung his sling, and the stone went straight into the head of the crouching animal. With a slow yielding of its body the lion fell 1n death. "I am glad, my son, that you were so faithful," his mother prais- ed him in the morning, "Your fath- er was beside himself, wild with his illness, and had I not been able_ to tell him you were with the flocks he would have gone out, sick as he was. And now you have slain a lion. Your fame will go before you." ''But mother, 1 did not see the king," and David's voice trembled. "Do you not think the king would have scorned a lad who would de - sort his post of duty from idle cur- iosity? Nay, my son, you have done your task faithfully and well, and proved yourself a man. Later you may see the king." Christmas Cards: Custom Is Recent Greeting Card Industry Is Less Than A Century Old From a small beginning in 1846 the . Christmas greeting card in- dustry has grown to gigantic pro- portions. Research into Christmas tradi- tions at McGill University disclos- es that the exchange of printed greeting cards dates back less than a century. Other Christmas customs date to pagan tithes. The First Card Sent The records at McGill indicate that there is some uncertainty as to the exact date that the first Chrismas card was actually sent. Most authorities ascribe the - _ 0-0-4-11.-9-41-.1.4111-0.4"11P In Its Season At Christmas 1 no more desire a rose Than wish a snow in May's new-fangled mirth, But like of each thing that in season grows - - Shakespeare .. first printed card to J. C. Harsley, who in 1846 designed a Christmas greeting card in elaborate propor- tions: It had allegorical designs of clothing the naked and feeding the hungry, together with a fam- ily group of three generations quaffing wine. Only 1,000 of these cards were lithographed and then colored by hand. Most Artistic In Eighties The Christmas greeting card reached its artistic height around 1883-84. The collection of cards at McGill of this era show that many were elaborate and colorful in design, Some have borders trimmed in silk, lace or feathers. Still others are in the forms of sachets. The sentiments expressed in the greetings are typically Vic- torian. Many of these would arouse. laughter today. The Little Fir Tree By Henry Harding There was very little sunlight in the forest, The trees were so big, all the grown up trees. The little fir tree stretched himself, and he tried to imagine himself as full grown. Looking up at the sky and the stars and the moon, he listened to the big trees talk. "Isn't the moon bright tonight," one would say; and there would be a gentle rustling of their leaves as the trees would shake their heads in agreement, "I'm afraid you're going to be stunted, because there is so much shade here," a little squirrel said to the fir one day as he jumped into its branches and brushed the top limbs with his bushy tail, "It takes sunlight to make anything grow strong -and tall." So the little fir tree stretched himself up, and kept his head just pointed up toward the spot of sun- light he saw clear up through the maze of heavy tree growth, He could be straight and upstanding, even if he hadn't grown tall. Today the ground was all cover- ed with the snow which stayed all white in the forest. All but a few of the birds had gone south. Every once in a while there was the sound of steel striking against the wood, and infrequently a crashing sound of falling trees. The tall trees began to tremble. "The woodcutters are out. But this is a funny time of year," one mored to the others. Then one of the little snow birds spoke, "Have you forgotten that every year they come to cut Christmas trees?" "What are Christmas trees?" the little fir asked. "Oh, they cut down the trees and take them in the house, and put candles on them so they look like Are You Listening?

Ida Lupine stars, and spangles that look like snow shining in the moonlight, And the people sing songs and give each other gifts, and it is a time o1 being glad," the little snow bird twittered. "Oh, I wish they would take me," the little tree cried in excitement, "I'd love to see it all I'd love to make people happy. But I'm too lit- tle," and he sighed unhappily. ''Sh! Let's. all be quiet," one o1 the tall trees exclaimed. "The woodsmen are coming near us. We must be quiet so they won't not- ice us. Then we won't be cut down and left to die, But in spite of their silence, the men drew near. They looked at the trees, and one of them said: "Oh, these aro too tall. No house or church could hold them. Let's get on." Just then a little lad who was riding in the sled, called to his fa- ther: "Dad, can we find a little tree for sister? Couldn't we mud- a "`-- cute little tree to put in her very own room?" "Ho! Ho!" laughed a big rough man. ''In her room? No little girl will stay in her room on Christmas day!" . The lad's father answered, sad- ly: "Yes, my tittle girl will. She had infantile paralysis last sum- mer, and hasn't been able to walk since. Surely, son, we'll find a lit- tle tree for her." "Here I am, here 1 am! come and get me," the little fir tree called out lustily. And the little boy turn- ed and saw the branches trembling, and the little snow bird flying away. "Why, dad, there is a cute little tree over there, Such a beautiful straight tree. Wouldn't that do?" he called, Tho man got out from the sled, He walked to the tree and fondled it gently. "I never saw a more beautiful tree. It seems to glow, Molly will love it," he said with a smile. The little tree was so happy that he didn't feel the blows from the ax that cut him to the ground. And when they put him into the sled, he was still happy. The little boy cal- led to his father: ''11 sounds as if the little tree was singing when the wind blows through its branches." And the little tree laughed delight- edly, Ancient Holly Spreads Cheer In homes throughout the contin- ent this Christmas the holly plant will carry on its age-old duty of spreading Yuletide spirit, a cus- tom that dates back to the pagan tribes of continental Europe. Current popularity of the holly is a continuation of the custom of the Druid feasts which honored the mistletoe and holly in pagan rites. In Europe the tribes under Roman rule sent holly branches to each other as evidence of good will. Homes and churches were decorated with holly laden with crimson berries when the pagans celebrated the feast of Saturn- alia, the "turning on of the sun." Feast of Celtic Sun God Yuletide, the feast made to the Celtic sun god, Yaioul, finally be- came the celebration of Christ- nmas, and the holly tree, known as the holy tree, became the sacred tree for decorations at our Christ- mas festivals. Holly does not bear berries un- til it is five years old. Before that time the male and female trees cannot be told apart. There are more than 300 species of the plant, all of them native to the temperate and tropical regions of both hemispheres. Only the American and English holly trees have rich green leaves. These are outlined with sharp spines or teeth, and the fruiting branches have round crimson ber- ries. • • • i • iticateowatwatitimpetittalatatommatiormiatemovaittav RADIOS ROGERS MAJESTIC, DE FOREST CROSLEY R.

WHY A DOG TAX? There is no sound reason for the imposition of a canine tax, The sys- tem is merely a hang -over from the old days when municipalities collected such fees in order to pro- vide a fund from which to compen- sate sheep owners whose animals had been killed by dogs. No one keeps sheep in WIndsor, so far as we are aware, so therefore there is no need for a fund of this kind. This being the case, why should dog owners. have to buy _tags for their pets? No one has to pay a fee for keeping a cat, a canary, a par- rot, a peacock, a white rat, a rabbit, or any other pet; why, then, the exception in the case of dogs? — Windsor Star. The EMPIRE EMANCIPATED TO DEATH The emancipation of the world goes on. Italy's heart bled for the serfdom of the Ethiopians, so she emancipated Abyssinia. For more than two years General Franco has been striving to emancipate Spain. Japan saw the Chinese suppressed and depressed by their overlords and decided that only emancipation could save China for posterity— though whose posterity is not quite clear, And in Middle Europe, where the tide of events ebbs and flows from hour to hour, an emancipation is threatening to reduce the world to the component parts which Zeus found when he took over control from Chaos. — The Cape Argus, (Capetown). Won't Take Action On Mars Broadcast The United States Communica- tions Commission has decided to take no action on complaints that the .Orson Welles broadcast of Oc- tober 30th caused many radio lis- teners to believe that men from Mars were invading the country. The commission said that it be lieved steps already taken by the Columbia Broadcasting Company were sufficient to protect the pub- lic interest. "While it is regrettable that the broadcast alarmed a substan- tial number of people," the com- mission said, "there appeared to be no likelihood of a repetition of the incident and no occasion for action by the commission." Farmers' Aid Act Soon To Expire Creditor's Arrangement Law to Suspend in Eastern Canada The end of December will see the expiration of the operation of the Farmers' Creditors' Ar- rangement Act in Ontario, Que- bec, and the Maritime provinces. In Manitoba and British Columbia the act will expire on June 30. In Saskatchewan and Alberta it will continue indefinitely. The repeal legislation was pass- ed at the last session of Parlia- ment, but its operation was delay- ed to permit of the proper wind- ing up of many transactions. The general objection to the cct was that it was passed four years ago to meet an emergency in the farm- ing districts and that four years was a sufficient time for farmers to compose their debts. It has been very widely used. Over 40,000 applications invoking the act related to $240,000,000 of debt. These were reduced by $60,- 000,000, apart from reductions of about four million a year in in- terest rates. Plane Making Pace Speeded In Dominion Industry Making Canadian War Craft; $10,000,000 British Order • Royal Canadian Air Force auth- orities expect that by mid -sum- mer all 'aircraft constructed under the 1937 and 1938 defense pro- grams will be delivered. The air-. plane industry will then be turn- ing out, more speedily than previ- ously, the planes contemplated in the program which Parliament will vote next session. The fillip given to the industry by the $10,000,000 order from the British Government has re- sulted in plans being drawn up of a. well co-ordinated expansion. Not only will the companies concerned be equipped with facilities to han- dle British orders, but the en- largement necessitated by these will enable them to take care more quickly of Canada's aircraft de- mands. Efforts to popularize the R. C. A. F. and develop air -mindedness among the Canadian people will be continued.

Answer: Memel Land is a piece of territory, to the north of East Prussia, 1,099 square miles in extent, which by the Treaty of Versailles was taken from Ger- many and placed under League of Nations control. In 1923 it was handed by the allied powers to Lithuania. The population is 152,000, predominantly Germanic, The city of Memel gives Lith- uania its sole access to the sea. Nazis in the territory have for some time been agitating for re- turn of the area to Germany. Nazi victories in the Memel Diet elec- tions last week are regarded as a prelude to a demand for reunion with Germany. The formal de- mand is likely to come in January if Adolf Hitler of Germany does- n't pull a smart "holiday coup" before that date. • YOUTHFUL BEAUTY If Lana Turner had taken her lunch to school instead of eating at the cafe across the street from Holly- wood High School, she might never have been in pictures.

Foot Defects Found .Many and various types of feet wore discovered. There were high - arched and low -arched feet, short, broad ones, long toes and short toes, thin feet and thick flabby feet, In addition to minor foot de- fects serious .weakness of the feet were discovered, many of them hi- therto unsuspected. Tho survey revealed that out of the five hundred students inspected two hundred wore shoes which were too short or. too narrow, or had heels which were too high; and seventy-five wore gymnasium shoes all day; twenty-five had abnormal nail condition; one hundred had corns, callouses, blistered heels, pressure points and bunions; three had hammer toes; thirty-sevon had overlapping toes; thirty 'rad fallen arches or flat feet; fifty-six had foot strain or weak arches; sixty had fungus infection. As a result of this survey, a planned campaign based on cause, prevention and cor- rection was immediately started. Corrective Measures Records revealed that in thirty cases nineteen were successfully treated by means of a properly re- gulated diet, corrective exercises and corrective shoes. Ingrowing nails were duo to improperly fitted shoes and stockings and incorrect cutting of the nail. Irl twenty-five cases, ten required surgical treat- ment, but ono case was successful- ly treated by the use of a mechan- ical appliance, As a follow-up, advice was given as to the proper types of shoes that should be worn during the period of foot development. The ideal of bettor health and greater efficiency from bodies where feet were pro- perly and healthfully shod was up- held, the beauty of shoes well -fit- ted and properly supporting the feet, Home visits were made by the school nurse, Closed Game Areas Fought In Ontario.. Chatham Rod and Gun Club Oppose Move — Say Far- mers Would Have to Be Own Game Wardens A lengthy discussion on the question of having restricted game areas in Ontario featured the monthly meeting of the Chatham Rod and Gun Club, Members opposed the' formation of such areas in the district and claimed the move would create considerable difficulty during tho hunting season. See Growth of Poaching The restricted area plan of the Department of Game and Fisher- ies is to have cach towns} ip limit the number of hunting licenses to 150. The township collects fees for each license and in return far- mers must act as their own game wardens, Under the present plan it would be illegal to move from one township to the next without having a license for each munici- pality, Behind the plan most' members could see a desire on the part of the government to eliminate paid game wardens and leave the onus of stopping poaching on farmers. Because coal production at home is declining, France is im- porting more than 1,000,000 tons a month. Tho results of following this plan of (1) making pedo-graph prints of all students entering the Collegiate for the first time, (2) careful'in- spection of infected feet, (3) re- ferring to the family physician all cases requiring attention, have been most satisfactory. a ■ PUCK CHASERS NEWS OF O.H.A.

Will Build Naval And Air Defenses Substantial Appropriation Like- ly to Be Set Aside at Coming Session of Canada's Parlia- ment The highlight of the defense es- timates to be submitted to the ap- • preaching session of Ptirliament will be a substantial appropria- tion dedicated to' the purpose of raising- Canada's so-called "tin - pot" navy to the status of a thor- oughly effective fighting unit. The other main feature of the estimates will be a substantial ap- propriation for air defenses. It may be forecast that approxi- mately $50,000,000 will be voted in the estimates scheduled to come before the session which opens in January. In the realm of naval defenses, the intention of the government is, briefly, to provide a,total of. 18 destroyers for 'the patrol and de- fense of the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. This plan contemplates a flotilla for the east 'and west coasts re- spectively of eight destroyers and a leader, the latter being slightly larger than the ordinary destroyer and carrying the staff officers.

'volume recording the scientific ad- -vance of pharmacy, Prescriptions compounded by pharmacists and physicians date hack to the earliest records, La Wall reveals in "4,000 Tears of Pharmacy," Ono nreacrip- tion, the date of which is fixed at 1552 B,C„ afforded the necessary elutes for deciphering the .written language of the .ancient Egyptians and' conatltuted the key to,all sub- sequent research in Egyptology... Thio ancient• remedy, recorded whits Moses was tending his father- i in•law's sheep on the plains at the _ foot of Mount Horeb, prescribes re-' -medial substances in common use in drug stores today. Besides castor oil, many other medicinal materials were listed, such as yeast, various oils, turpen- tine,' figs, wormwood, squill, aloes, opium, peppermint, anise, saffron, linseed, juniper berries, poppy, date . blossoms, and even onions, In those days pharmacist and physician were one, the practice of medicine being entirely experimen- tal, As time went on, La Wall re- cords, these fields of practice se- parated:,.."It is the function of the physician to diagnose disease and recommend treatment, It medicine is, required, the wise physician writes a prescription to be filled by a -competent pharmacist, for this is the pharmacist's particular prov- ince and specialty for which he has been specially trained." . 164 Rural Maidens Attend Course in Home Economics Women's Institute Branch ' of Ontario Department of Ag- riculture Holding Three Months' Course in Five Counties— Develops Intelli- gent Judgment in Problems of Home -Maker Attendance figures for the first couple of week's of the three month course in Home Economics being conducted by the Women's Instit- ute Branch of the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture in five coun- ties show a total of. 164 rural young women attending lectures.

Germany Buying Canadian Apples LONDON, Ont. — Middlesex - grown apples will enjoy a more prominent place on Nazi Germany dinner tables this year than ever before in history if German crop reports can be taken as an auth- ority. With a subnormal domestic ap- ple harvest, Germany will have no difficulty in absorbing the full quotas for both fresh and dried apples. One district apple producer said apples from this area would be purchased with a "goodly share" of the $600,000 set aside this year by the German Govern- ment for purchase of fresh ap- ples in Canada, Gold From Abroad Comes To Canada A heavy influx of earmarked gold into Canada was disclosed last week in a Dominion Bureau of Statistics report. Net increase of earmarked gold —that is gold from abroad held in Canada for safekeeping—amount- ed to $71,400,000 in the past 13 months. The increase for last Oc- tober was $32,400,000. It is be- lieved most of this gold came from Great Britain and France. To Purchase Armaments The British Government was reported strengthening its North American gold reserves by ship- ping large quantities of the metal for storage in the vaults of the Bank of Canada. The step was said to have been taken to provide for the purchase of war materials in Canada and the United States in the event of a European war, when shipment of gold across the Atlantic would be dangerous. Car Owners Are Blamed In Theft. Following the disclosure that ignition keys had been left in a car that was stolen last week and then 'used in the armed robbery of a London (Ont.). grocer, officials of the Forest City have issued a warning to all motorists .not to leave keys in parked cars. Magistrate D. B. Menzies said that in nearly every court case in whizh youths were charged with car theft, the of- fence could be traced to the fact that the motorists had left the keys in the car, CIassiFed Advertising , A U'I'OHI111114: ltii'AIRS Shook Absorbers SALES AND SERVICE.

Cure Your Child Of Nail -Biting The nail -biter is almost invar- iably highly strung and excitabie in temperament and seems to find a soothing outlet in the habit of biting the nails often almost down to the quick. The disturbed nerves must therefore receive treatment. The daily routine should be revised so that, it is made perfectly regular and free from disturbance, and time should be given for extra • rest; or an earlier bedtime should be arranged. The nails themselves should be pared very short, then filed so that there are no ragged edges, and older children should wear gloves when reading or when sitting quietly.
