In this Pre -Christmas Message, let us remember that we are about to commemorate an.event which hanks bank to a period very remote in human history—the period when man first fell into sin. This event has been described in a very striking 'way by Bishop W. J. 'Carey as man "getting into the Back1Water," In spite of man's sin, God is not going to forsake him. We find, therefore, in the Book of Genesis, that a Saviour is promised right atter then"Fall" in these significant words "It shall bruise, thy he'd and thou shalt bruise his heel." Later, as we read of Abraiiam's willingness to a:ocrlfico his son, Isaac,. God promises that in Albrahaan'e seed shall all the nations of the earth bo blessed. This means that a descendant of the Patriarch will be the world's Saviour. • As we study the Psalms and the Prophecies of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, Hosea, Micah and Zechariah, it is very interesting to read statements there which find their complete fulfilment in many of the incidents of the Saviour's life and which go to prove Hie claims. The city of His Birth is foretold, His clamps to be the San of God and Son of Mau aro stated. The everlasting character of His Kingdom is brought to our notice, IIis title of Shepherd and that He came to save the Gentiles as well as the Jews is clearly revealed. There is much in' those Old Testament Scriptures about His suffer- Ingo, ufferIngs, "wounded for our transgressions" and "bruised for our iniqui- ties." He is undoubtedly Isaiah',s "Suffering Servant." "Despised and rejected of men." "A man of sorrows" and "acquainted with grief." Our Lord's Cry on the Cross "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken the?" is found In the twenty-second Psalm. The description of Himself as the "Stone which the builders refused" is found also in the Psalms, and 1n the sante Book references' are made to the "parting" of His garments and the casting of lots upon Ills vesture His zeal for the honour of Itis Father's House as' He cieansed the Temple, is the fulfilment of Psalm 69: v9 "For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up." Both our Lord's . resurrection and ascension are referred; to in this same part of the Bible. Our Master's' triumphal entry into Jerusalem on what we call "Palm Sunday" is considered as a fulfilment of the old prophecy of Zechariah. His death between two thieves is to be identified with Isaiah's prediction that He would be "numbered with the transgres- sors". The Institution of the Passover Supper in the Old Testament not only commemorated the Angel of Death passing over the Hebrew 'people, but the killing of the lamb (used at that Feast) was but a type of the death of our Lord "the very Paschal. Lamb" slain for the sins of the world,. Not a bone of that lamb was to be broken and not a bone in His sacred body was broken. It is also of great interest to know that in a remarkable way the world itself was prepared for the Saviour's coming. In the first place the world was at peace and united under one rule. As the result of conquests of Alexander, the Greek language wits understood by large numbers of people everywhere. • It was' porslblo to travel safely by Means of good roads to all parts, These conditions would, greatly facillate the spread of the Gospel. Then the better educated people had out grown their old super- stitions and were coming 'more and more to believe in one true God as the result of their study of the Platonic Philosophy. The Jews, who were to be found everywhere, attracted many to their belief in the one true God!, Jehovah, and they at this time were in expectation of the Messiah's coining. May we prepare our hearts to receive Him! Wo can do this as wo sincerely repent and open our hearts to Him. Let our prayer be, "0 come to my heart, Lord Jesus, there is room in my heart for Theo." W.

All of Ellen's family save Shirley wanted to which Ellen left her, but Mark would not hear of It and took adopt Valerle—and the trust fund Valelre on a Tong trip. On the way home, they met Lucy Trod. way and engaged her to tutor Val. erre. Elise calls Dorothy and warns her that Lucy Is likely to marry Mirk, and Dorothy descends on the family and tells Lucy she le keeping Valerie's friends away° Lucy leaves, taking the old tray cling library with her. Mark Is talking to Chiltern, the butler. CHAPTER 27 "Three cheers for 111iss Lucy!" said Hark, "Then what?" "Mrs, Summerville told Miss Tredway to leave the house at once, sir. She said she'd been to all the parents of Miss Valerie's' friends, and they had assured her they would not let their children associate with her, unless Miss Lucy left. I—" "1 see," said ?dark, "I don't be- lieve I want to hear any more, That's enough to go on with. After all, I might have known!" He stood staring at the fire, Chil- tern had seen tempera before, but never Mark's. IIe had gone quite white, as he stood there, his hands clenched at his sides, "Thank you, sir," said Chiltern at Iasi, "May I go now, sir?" "Yes—no, wait. Have you any- thing to suggest? I mean about finding. Miss Tredway?" "Site went away in the old van —the one they call The Ark-" "So that's !t—" He stopped, real• )zing that of coure Chiltern knew nothing about Lucy's check, "I should go atter her, sir, It you'll allow me to suggest. The old bus couldn't be making any great speed." "Where do you suppose she'd be heading?" "Where did you meet Miss Lucy, sir, if 1 may ask?" "Allington) It's a good thing one of us has a head on him! Have Catlet run out the town car. I want you to come along, We'll have to start at once," "And Miss Valerie, sir?" "1'l1 send her over to Miss Endl• cott's, I wouldn't dare leave her here, She might hare been sent to Siberia by the time we got back!" Chiltern allowed himself to smile, "You might get Miss Endicott on the telephone for me. Then tell Mrs. Banwood we may bo away for a few days, Give her what- ever instructions you please. Then pack yourself a hag, and meet me here in an hour." "Very good, sir," said Chiltern, He got Shirley's number, and loft the room. Shirley was In, luckily. Would she put Valerie up for a night or two? 'Mark asked, Valerie would explain, Loving Mark, being a tactful woman, and knowing human nature, she asked no questions, but said she'd adore having Valerie. 1 -le put down the telephone and went upstairs. "Chiltern and I are taking a run to Allington to see if Lucy's there," he told her, "1 want you to stay with Shirley until we get hack. I've just talked with her. ILave Alice pack a bag for you at once. You may tell Shirley whatever you please." Valerie listened, her eyes enorut• oils in her pale small fact,. "Yes father."

I should euggest leaving tomorrow • moritlug, Catlet will attend to whatever is neces- sary for your journey. She turned on him with a skew of outraged auger, which lost Its effectiveness because she couldn't seem to lift her eyes to Ills. "1 never—" she began. But lie was already at the door; "There is nothing more to be said—now or at any tine," bo reheated; "Please leave here ,at your earliest convenience." She started to call after hint that she would leave at once, She had never been so insulted In her Life, But she hesitated just Jong enough to remember the lueon- venienc of a hurried night .depart- ure. Besides, if Ile was really going away, she would havo time to quhestion Valerie. S'he could al- ways frighten the truth out of the little idiot, She didn't know that Valerie was, at that moment, bag in hand, telling Mark goodbye at the door of the big car, with Catlet stand- ing guard, The Search For Lucy Mark watched the tall -lights dis- appear, Valerie was safe, and now he could think of Lucy. Ile went out of the frosty air into he, warm comfort of his house. In. spite of Lucy's going, lie was strangely elated, He had at last let Dorothy kuow what ho thought of her, without benefit of custom, manners or covention! He ran up to his rooms, alid threw 'an indiscriminate collection of colthes into a bag. When lio had finished he went out, deliber- ately locking first his own door, and then Valerie's. Mrs, Banwood had duplicate keys, and although he felt slightly ashamed, he put this down to pure habit, Iii his heart he knew he had no reason to trust Dorothy, He dropped the keys in his pocket, and ran down- stairs. own•stairs, • Chiltern presently emerged from the coatroom with Mark's heat/ lest coat, a fiat, and fur -lined driv- ing gloves, He held the dost for Mark, and shrugged himself into itis own. They stepped out into the clear cold of the night, .and Chiltern closed the door behind theta, .- "Shall I drive, sir?". he asked as "Later, perhaps," Mark told him, Ho swung through the gates and out to the road, heading for the state highway. There was practically no traffic, and Mark gave the long car its head. Chiltern watched the needle swing steadily up to 70, whore It stayed, and they settled down to a steady rush through the night, "What do 'you figure the Ark can do?? Mark asked, • "1 couldn't say, sir. With the new engine, she might make forty, shouldn't 'you say?" "1 never drove the old girl, I had the engine put in 'because' Miss Lucy had .a sort of affection- for the thing, I'm sorry I did, now." "But a train would have made even better time," suggested Chit- • tern, "1 guess so, I don't suppose you have any idea when she left?" "No, sir," said Chiltern,. "You see, Mr. Alexander, the old bus never entered my head, 1 thought Miss Tredway would be taking • the train, ,and kept waiting for her to call a taxi from the village. I kept watching near the front doer, and all that time Catlet says she was Miring h lin run the Ark out." (To Be Continued) Einstein Story We like this little stery about Professor Einstein. The mother of u little girl of eight in Princeton was very puz- zled when she found out that her daughter was in the habit of vis- iting Einstein every afternoon, and made up her mind to call and apologize. "Not at all." she was assured; "she is no nuisance, 1 enjoy see- ing her and we get along well," "But what can you and a little eight-year-old have in common?" "A great deal," Einstein ex- plained, "1 love the jelly baQns she brings nue, and she loves the way 1 do her arithmetic lessons!"

Streets white with swirling snow flakes, Marionette, behind the counters of the five-and-ten, peered into one of the little ten -cent mirrors It wu her business to sell. Marionette was crying because there was no Santa Claus, Moro than anything sire hated to go back to the tiny basement flat that she end mother and Jim called home, and tell Jim the truth. Jim, or Jimmy, as Marionette always called him, was crippled, Marione+tta insisted that he was too little yet to know about Santa Clams, She had gone without her lunch for days and days and saved ba' nickels and dimes to buy the things Jimmy wanted, That very morning she had start- ed out to work, her precious say - Inge tucked away in her purse, her heart all but singing outioud, Then, when she got off the car, someone in the motley crowd aimed her elbow and hes. puree us knocked from her hand, Mar• lonetta dived for it, but another dived at the same time and when she straightened up a small, flying figure was crossing the street. That was why her feet lagged on bee homeward way. Her hand on the door of the basement flat, at the dirty tene- ment house where elle lived, she noticed a beg automobile drawing 4p M the curio, and an elegantly dressed lady slumming. Showing clivi Re turned her back on the Vetere, flung open the door and etepped inside, "Hello, Sis." Jimmy looked up brightly. "Tonight's the night!" Marionette looked dully at her mother. "I lost my purse.," she said tone• Wyly, "Some kid snatched it this morning. It looked just like that McCarty kid that coulee to play with Jimmy so much but he ran so fart 1 couldn't be sure, • "Don't cry, honey," her mother said. "We'll make out, somehow." There was a knock, Mrs. Clancy went to the door and opened it. There stood the lady of the big automobile, her arms piled high with packages, "Ie this where Jimmy Clancy beer "Yee ma'am." Mrs. Clancy stepped back, "Won't you cone) fol" The lady stepped inside. filie kept smiling at Jimmy whoee eyes were wide and bright. "I met Santa Claui down the street this afternoon, Jimmy," she said, "and he asked if I would bring these things to you. He said he was going to be very busy to- night; Jimmy was feverishly tearing at the packages, which the lady bad dropped• into a big chair beside him. As his heart's desires ewer• ged from their tinsel wrapping Jimmy shouted with iIelig'it. Under cover of the excitement Ma/lunette drew near the pretty lady and whispered: "roll me how you knew about Jimmy 7" "Why, my clear, it's such a strange story! This morning I. saw a little boy snatch a purse flint someone dropped, and when he ran away I had my chauffeur follow him and bring him back to rue. He told me he wanted to keep the money to buy sonic toys for it llittle crippled friend whose folks were too poor to buy things for him. I promised him 1'd play Banda Claus to Jimmy if he'd pro mise me to wait on that corner for the girl who dropped the purse, every morning at the same hour, until he found her and gave it back to her," "Why," cried Marionette, "Did you ever hear anything so like a fairy tale? That was any purse, and it really was Jerry McCarty, mother! There was such a crowd he couldn't see who dropped it, He'd never have stolen—but it wa:sn't stealing, And just to think that a moment ago I was doubting the Christmas saint!". The lady laughed, Than lu that clear voice she said: "Well just to mako you even more sure of him, I'm going to bring a fantails doctor to see Jim- my the day after tomorrow, and I'm going to have him take Jimmy to a hospital and cure that bad leg of his. • The good Christmas saint doesn't want to find him Crippled when he conies back next year." The Cock Crowed Why does the cock seem to crow with unusual persistence during December? Our ancestors believ- ed it was to scare away evil spir- its from the holy season. They. cherished many legends which made a hero of Chanticleer at Christmas time, although they continued to eat him with zest. The most widely - circulated story concerned the bird's behavi- our in Herod's palace on the first Christmas .morning. The king had observed the lon- ely star of Ilethlehent in the sky, and asked his steward to inter- pret its meaning. "It is a sign," said the steward, "that a greater than Herod is born," "Nonsense," commented the king, "I would sooner believe that the cock on my platter could crow." Whereupon the well- dressed fowl, lying on the royal,,. plate, stretched forth a bony nec}c: and crowed lustily. Simple Games For New Year's Party New Year's parties are always fun, but they will aolrteve new life and interest if several new games are included with the old favorites, Spelling bees and guessing con - testa have been played for many years, but a few modern varia- tions of these games can make them more popular than ever. Spell sdrawkcaB Little enthusiasm will probably be noticed when a good old•fash- toned spelling bee' is announced. Before the gamo is over, however, the guests will probably bo wond- ering if they ever knew how to spell, because the words in this contest must be spelled back- wards A. little competition will enliven the game, so arrange the guests into two or three teams, then tell them that to save embarrassment the words will all be simple ones. Each contestant will be eliminat- ed front the game when he makes his second miss, and the first team to be spelled down loses the game, After casually announcing that the worde must be spelled back- wards and with no "second chance" 1f a wrong start is made, start the game going with simple words such as dog, cat, boy and so on, When the players have caught on, make the words increasingly difficult, To keep the game moving and to dispel any .possible sus- picion of favoritism It is best to read the words from a list pre- pared in advance, Guessing Time Anybody can estimate the' length of a second, but fel apeople know how long two or three minutes will last, Have the guests sit tit a circle around the room and announce that you are going;. to ash them to estimate the luitoutit of time it takes fur four minutes to pass. • 1-•-MM144 1 - 1 - - - •-MM-• The Nativity (St. Luke II) 8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night, 9 And; lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, ,and the glory of the Lord shone round about then]: and, they were sore afraid, 10 And the angel said unto thein, Fear not: for, behold, 1 bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall bo to all people. Clap your hands when the four minutes is to start. To prevent the guests from counting out the time to themselves pass around some more refreshments, or if soneone can play the piano, sing a song they all know., This will not last more than a minute or two, and it• will throw the players completely off count. Then sit in silence, waiting for the time to pass. Soon tho guests will begin calling off "tour minutes" and from there on the game will take care of itself, The "secret of success" at a par ty of this kind is to play each game only a short time before changing •to a new game. No mai- tre how much the guests are eu joying a game, it is advisable to stop the game after. a few mtnute•s and change to something else. Mothers' Night The oldest' English name for Christmas is Moddra Night, or Mothers' Night. In the early days, when our Saxon forefathers had just settled down in the coun- try that was to ba England, the day of December 25th was given over to feasting, but the night was dedicated to,the special honour of mothers. They occupied the seats of honour, and everyone brought them gifts, Sons and daughters who had gone out into the world strove to be at home en that one night in the year, A little later the name Yule was given to Christmas, and the re- joicings of the day were prolong- ed into night, when men sang and told stories sitting round the cheerful blaze of the Yule log. The old customs of Mothers' Night gradually died out, though they still survive in a few parts of the country. its place Ims been taken to some extent by Mother- ing Sunday in the North of Eng- land. On that day everyone who can do so still makes a pilgrim- age homewards, and the mother receives the homage of her fanc- ily. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger, 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14 Glory to God in the high- est, and on earth peace, good will toward men. i Add Gay Colors • To Yule Candles Christmas candles for gifts or table decorations can be made at home from bits of discarded can- dles, and the whole family may have fun doing it. There is no limit to the shape and size of mold to be used. Card- board boxes such as salt packages or ice cream cartons are very sat- isfactory. The cartons in which buttermilk is sometimes sold are good for the tapered candles. Good results have even been re- ported with fancy gelatin molds of certain types and with jelly glasses. The wick may be fastened thropgh a hole in the bottom of the cardboard containers, but in smooth -bottomed molds, it must be kept in place by pouring in a little wax at a time around it, and then allowing it to harden. Arrange two small sticks at right angles at the top of the mold and tie the wick in the centre so that it will be held securely in place during the whole process. Common string, the wick from an old candle, or commercial candle wicking sold at variety stores or in needlework depart- ments may all be used for the homemade candles. Dipped Candles All wax to be used in a single candle should be melted in the sante container, as it is difficult to match colors. Wax crayons are good coloring matter, and some women have used lipstick with success. As the wax cools in the mold, a hole will be formed down the centre. Enough wax of the same color should be saved to fill this hole. Lacking enough old candles to make the large ones now so popu- lar, tallow candles can be made from these proportions: 10 ounces of tallow, ',k ounce of camphor, 4 ounces of beeswax and 2 ounces of alum. Melted paraffin, which is sometimes used, is hard to dye and breaks easily. To make (lipped candles, one end of the wick is fastened to a stick or pencil, and the wick dip- ped into the melted wax for a short time, As many candles as can be fully iMmersed at each dipping may be made at one time, If the surrounding air is cool, it is not necessary to dip the candles in cold water. For a clear bright red candle, it is hest not to use such dark colors as blue and ;Leen candles in the melting down process. Iiow- ever, very often the layer of color is just on the outside, and it can be scraped off and the rest of the candle used. Christmas Carols The singing of Christmas carols originated in Englund. According to tradition, this is the chorus of the very first: "Glory to God in the I1lighest, and on Earth; Peace, Good will toward Men," A Real Christmas Wrapping Small Gifts An unusual way to wrap a num- ber of small gifts that are to be given in a good-sized Christmas box is to tuck each one in an en- velope made of either plain red, holly, silver or gold paper, Wrap each gift first in plain white tis- sue paper, folded in envelope style, and seal the flaps of both the inner and outer envelopes with contrasting seals, Patterns for the envelopes can be cut from ordin- ary envelopes by tearing one apart and either enlarging on it or trim- ming it down, Christmas Special A lattice crust sets off a color- ful fruit pia. It's made with strips of dough twisted or laid flat across the pie at right angles. Each strip should be moistened where it meets the rim of pastry. Another trick to show off the fill- ing, and at the same time make the pie a Christmas special, is to cut out little trees and stars from the pie dough, prick with a fork, dust with nutmeg and granulated sugar, and bake in a hot oven a few minutes until lightly browned. Then arrange the pastry cut-outs on the cooked pie. c. First Christmas Tree In Strassburg, Germany, in 1604, the first Christmas tree ap- pears in literature. It is thought that the custom of using Christ- mas trees in Germany spread from Strassburg. When Queen Victoria married Prince Albert, he introduced the Christmas tree custom into Eng- land. Frons the early emigrants of Germany and England was derived the custom of the Christmas tree in America, Accidents Offer Threat To Gaiety Nothing can sped the festive gai- ety of a Christmas celebration more completely than a fire or ac- cident in the home, There are sev- eral . essential precautions which will help to assuic a truly Merry Christmas, Don't risk using frayed cords and broken plugs, 1)on't handle electrical applian- ces with wet bands. Don't yank at cords or run them under runs. 1)on't forget to have insulated staples on hand for stringing cords around. Don't overload your hotse car• cult. Usually 1,000 watts is as much as any one eircult will stand. Don't neglect providing plenty of extra lamp bulbs of the various sizes and colors you're using for Christmas cheer, so you can re- place burned ot,t ones. Don't put pennies in a blown - out fuse.

Doesn't It look like a real baby/ Just imagine it's for ale!" And little Sally's face was radiant with the imagined joy, . "Ah, that's nothing but a doll! You girls!" and Johnnie's nose turned up with disgust. "!f you're lookin', just lookit that!" and he pointed to_ a scooter that loaned proudly;. against the wall in the show window. "That's what Santa Claus has picked out for me." And Johnnie's eyes shone, A well-dressed lean standing near them heard the words, and looked curiously at the ragged children, As he saw his wife ap- proaching, the children started o11, but not before he heard the boy say to his sister, "It's no use 'meg- thing anything this year, Aunt Meg doesn't even have a chinlbley for Santa to crawl down, and he probably doesn't even know that daddy and mother aren't here any .more," and his brave little lip quivered, The man turned to his wife, who had just reached him. "Madge, look at that window." But her Toico was shrill with s. hysterical rgrief, as she exclaimed: "Olt, Phil, I can't look at those toys. You know I can't. When little Elsie is dead, and we have no one to make Christmas for." • "But, Madge, that Is what I mean. We have someone to matte a Christmas for. See those kids there, just going round the cor- ner? They are the Mayne child- ren, whose father and mother were killed in that factory fire last month. They're living with their aunt, who already has four chil- dren of her own, and her husband is only working part time since the fire." He said no more but watched his wife anxiously, Her look of grief turned slowly to one of questioning and then pleasure. "We'll do it!" she exclaimed in glad tones. "1 heard then] tell ea.ch other what they wanted," Phil said joy- ously. So on Christmas moving Sally and Johnnie were surprised to have an auto drive up in front. of their Aunt Meg's house, and. have a fine big man ask them to go home with him to dinner. And there, when they had taken off their coats and hats, they found a lovely Christmas tree with a beau- tiful doll and a perfectly grand scooter, and a new suit for John- nie and a dress for Sally which made her eyes sparkle with joy. "\1'e don't went you to go home," Mrs. Vigars said when the children began to talk about hav- ing to go, after the dinner of tur- key and cranberry sauce and all the fixings, "\\'e want you to stay, don't we, Phil?" "Indeed we do, for we need a little boy and girl in our house," Phil Vigars replied, with a happy invite on his face. And he added, under his breath, as he gave his wife a .mighty hug. "This is a real Christmas, Madge. I'm glad there was plenty of room at this inn." Candles These centiles are such lovely things All a,utocr-tipped and bright, They give the mellow radiance 1 like on Christmas night. So I have lighted small red ones Upon the waiting tree; Tall green ones on the mantel shelf To show the room to 111e. But this so slender, silver one -- Much beauty , cheaply priced -- I bought to Mark my window sill' With the halo of the Christ. And shepherd -like, all through the night, 'Watching across the hill, It will remind some traveler Of peace—and of good will.

"The Gift Box to our Boys Over- seas," was opened at the church on Sunday, and, $2.50 was sent to the Treasurer, Miss L. Phillips, Auburn.

After the singing of the hymn, "Silent Night", Ars. Marvin McDowell called the Roll, it was responded to by 17, each response had in it the word "Joy." The reports were very encour- aging. The .Ladies Md have a balance of over $100.00 after their years ex- penses were paid. The W.M.S. are well over the top in their allocation..

V O I C'.E 0 F ,T .H E PRESS THE WRONG ATTITUDE A point has arisen' in connec- tion with the current war•aavings campaign that needs to be straight- ened out. It is this, There are per- sons in Canada who are refusing to purchase the stamps because they object to the Government's general war policy. They seem to feel that they either have to condemn or accept the whole thing; they cannot separate in their minds the Government's fis- cal programme from outer aspects of its conduct ot. Canada's war effort. At the best, persons of this type can be accused of blind, foolish pig-headedness. At the worst, they are Fifth Columnists. There are a great manse Caned - Jens who are sharply critical of some parts of the Government's war leadership, and since they live in a democracy they are per- fectly entitled to hold and to ex- press their opinions. But any per• son who uses such arguments to affect his own or other people's purchase of \Var Savings stamps is guilty of a serious offence. —Cornwall Standard -Freeholder, —v— SCOTTISH DOCKERS' WORK The United States, and to some extent Canada, is beset with strikes in defence industries, or industries affecting defence work, fomented by union leaders who are taking advantage of the emergency to apply the screw to employers and to the governments. It is inter - eating to note the kind of thing that is happening among British working men. A freighter arrived at a Scottish Dort laden with food. It was im- portant that she be unloaded and reloaded and proceed on her way. The boss called the stevedores together and said: "Will you work the clock around until this ship is unloaded and reloaded?" "Aye," they shouted. No hesitation, no quibbling, no arguing about extra pay. They just did the job. Another day they Unloaded an- other ship and reloaded the cargo into trucks which were soon on their way to various parts of the country with geode, the stevedores creating an all-Brittsh record for speed.

Christmas Giving This year, nlol'e than ever be- fore, wisdom and good judgment should rule in the selection of Christmas gots. It should be a season when useless or frivolous giving is strictly banned. Emphasis is being placed on the necessity for reducing the par - chase of non-essential goods. People will naturally want to give presents to their friends, and they cannot be expected to confine themselves to war goods, but there should be a more careful selection than usual, with every consider- ation being given to the useful - near and practicality of the gifts purobased. --Windsor Star.

Not Gas Saver But Gas Maker A. motorist in England was asked If he had tried a new atom- izer which is said to have petrol consumption, "Rather," he replied. "It did all the makers claimed for it, and saved fifty per cent of my petrol.

A mouth ago d final attempt was launched in Washington with Japanese dip's)• mats to . forestall the impending collision of national policies, which would inevitably lead to war, No agreement could be reached but still Japan's "peace" envoys ex- pressed the wish to continue ne- gotiations. It is now known that while they talked peace Tokyo pre- pared for war, They talked peace in order to gain time to launch a surprise attack' on the United States most powerful naval base in Hawaii, without the formality ot declaring war. The President said "Our enemies have perform- ed a brilliant feat of deception, per- fectly timed and executed with great skill." Clearly Japan chose war not bee cause she had no alternative but because she was determined to carry on her policy of aggression, The United Status, on Nov. 26th, offered Japan a formula for peace in which they wore willing to ne- .gotate a trade agreement with Japan and to fr'oe Japan's frozen assets. They demanded, however that Japan withdraw her forces from China and Indo-China, In her reply, Japan flatly refused to get out of China. She favored a trade treaty and the removal of freezing restrictions but never- theless rejected the whole proposal as a basis for negotiations. War was what Japan wanted, , not peace, The swift treacherous attack on the United States has aroused the American people, They are as ono vast assembly of patriots whose single thought is the safety of their people. United they stand. Gone is every sign of partisanship in the Capitol of the United States, says the New York Times. Gone is every trace of hesitancy and indecision, There a:re no party lines In Congress, The house - divided -within -itself has ceased to exist in Washington. Outside the political walls, from every part of the country, from every walk of lite, come pledges of support for the Administration. The America First Committee urg- es "all those who have subscribed to its principles to give support to the war effort" and "pledges its aid to the 'President and Com- mander in Chief of the awned forces of the United States." A labor union ---hick had called a strike in an industry essential to national defense rescinded its ac- tion. The people of .the country, confident in the integrity of demo- cratic institutions have acted with courage, quiet strength . and a mag- nificent display of national unity. It is conceded that the United States suffered a severe defeat at.. I-lawati and at other outlying bases, Tho British have sustained a ter•• rible blow in the. loss of two of their most powerful fighting ships,• the Prince of Wales and the Re- pulse, at Singapore. The Japanese bombers and gunners have shown - unueual accuracy and the explosion of their bombs must have been extra violelit to have destroyed such powerful naval vessels, Can It be that they aro using a. .new element of destruction? Japan's strategy is apparent; to knock out a.8 much of the Allied fleet and air force as possible .111' the first swift blows; to disrupt American trans -Pacific air commu- nications by seizing Midway,.,\Vake and Guam, whose defenses' have not been completed; to divert Brit- ish and American naval power to the Pacific, thus leaving, the At- lantic lanes freer for Hitler's sub- marine attacks on British shipping. In the presence or our allies, con- tinues the Times, we shall find the key to the strategy of the Pacific, Because these allies ring Japan, because they create a natural and inexorable blockade of an island empire- which is heavily dependent upon supplies from overseas, it is reasonable to hope and to believe that we can plan a strategy of war in the Fax East which will take account of the still imperative nec- essity of maintaining an uninter- rupted flow of strength to the main battlefront in Europe. But this double task will test our powers to the very limit. Noth- ing could bo more dangerous than a complacent assumption that a victory will be easy. The factor of distance alone enormously in- creases the difficulty of American operations. There will come dark days and bitter disappointments and a need to prove that we too have the stamina to make our way through blood and toil and sweat and tears. But we have a cause which shines with flaming justice. We have friends beside Us, We have incomparably the greatest resources of any nation In the world. We have a united people. We have brave men ready for the battlelines, Mr. Churchill said that now four- fifths of the total population of the world is "on our side." But he did not delude himself or his people by promising a quick and easy victory over Japan. Instead, he called upon the people of the British Isles to redouble their ef- forts in the factories to fill the gap which may bo caused in the next few months • by the diversion of American tools of war. In the past, Ito said, we have bad a light which flickered. In the present we'have a light which flames. In the future there will be a light which shines over all the land and sen, RADIO REPORT -ER DIALING WITH DAVE: It's often the PERSONALITY that makes the show iu radio, and that's certainly true of many of the feature programs from CKOC in Hamilton.

Ernst Udet, second only to Goering . in Nazi aviation, was killed while experimenting with a new type of firearm, comments The New York Times, It sends the !Hind back to Hitler's secret weapon. He announced it more than a year ago as the trick that would settle England's business. What has become of the secret weapon? What is its nature? Speculation at the time included flying tanks for the invasion of England, new bombs, now U- boats, gas, microbes, practically everything. Is it conceivable that Hitler's secret weapon, upon which he has been experimenting so long, could be something in the nature of re- pentance, truth, honor, mercy, or in that general line? It might explain his failure to make head- way with it. CHECKING ZERO HOUR?

A, New life often can be given to the house plant by applying a teaspoon of castor oil around the 'roots. Q. How can I remove cigar- ette stains from the fingers? A, Obstinate cigarette stains on the fingers can be removed by means of . well -soaked pumice stone and hot water. Plain lepton juice will remove lighter stains. Q. Ilow can I avoid scratching the table when cutting out mater- ial from patterns? A, Before cutting the mater- ial, it is a wise plan to spread out the table gnat on the surface of the table. If cut on tt.is sur- face, the scissors will slide along much easier and will not scratch the table. Q. How can 1 be sure that flowers will stay fresh when send- ing them to sotneone in another town? A. One way to keep them fresh is to cut small holes in a piece of raw potato 'and insert the stems.

Made in Canada, What Science Is Doing SHEEP'S LIFE Tor the average sheep, fame Is only skin deep. The best he can hope for, after parting periodically with. his wooly shirt, is a fleeting hereafter in the form of a framed diploma, But Billy Wassermann 2nd is different. He is a sheep with a career. For four years he has lived in honored comfort at the Montefore Hospital for Chronic Diseases, Of a summer ho grazes on the hospital's lawn, an object of admiration for the children of the northern Bronx, For the win- ter he is now ensconed in a pent- house apartment atop the hospital, with all the hay and oats he can eat. The reason for this special at- tention is that Billy .fulfils a vital function, Every fortnight or so he graciously permits a doctor to draw from' his veins a small am- ount of blood, Its red corpuscles serve to diagnose human syphills in the well-known Wassermann test. Nearly 10,000 suoh tests have been made routinely with the cor- puscles supplied by this one sheep, This particuthr animal happens to have come into the news. But there are many other creatures of the laboratory to whom a debt li owed for their role, involuntary though it be, in maintaining and advancing human .. health, and science need not be sheepish about acknowledging that debt. Cows provide vaccine, horses manufacture anti -toxin, chickens indicate the value of hormone pro- ducts, rate respond quantitatively to doses of newly discovered vit• amine, mice run through mazes and unravel the fundamental springs of animal behavior. Some of those test animals must inevit- ably be martyrs to the progress of physiological knowledge. It is comforting to know that the speci- mens used are invariably given the fullest consideration consistent with their function and that, in the CMG of such stout veterans as Billy the sheep, they become well - loved pets of the laboratory.

Bennett Stays Night At Labor Hostel Viscount Bennett recently lived overnight the lives of factory workers occupying a North Mid- lands war workers' hostel. After an address in which he impressed on workera the neces- sity of a speed-up in production, the former Canadian prime min- ister went into the big communal dining room, loaded his tray with food and later carried the dishes to a washing-up hatch. Lord Bennett slept in a cubicle - type bedroom containing two beds and running hot and cold water. He said he found the hostel clean - or, more convenient and more comfortable than many up-to- date hotels he had stayed in dur- ing his travels around Britain on behalf of the ministry of supply, Plumb -bob The Cat Solves a Problem The 'Todd -California Shipbuild- ing Corporation was in a dither. The engineers were stumped.- The electricians were dismayed. The problem facing them was to run a cable through the 12 -inch conduit pipe which ran from the British Purchasing Commission to the fitting -out dock—a distance of 200 feet. The pips was two feet underground and too small for a man or practically anything else to go through. Suddenly an Idea was conceived. A solution was brought to the scene. The "solution" was Plumb -Bob, alias Toddy, the shipyard at. A chalk line was tied around Plumb -Bob's neck, and he was placed at the end of the pipe, Without a moment's hesitation he disappeared, Au anxious crowd of engineers, electricians, and maintenance men waited at the other end of the conduit, In a few minutes Plumb - Bob walked nonchalantly out into the sunlight again, pulling the chalk line. The hero had done his part, The cable was hooked to the line and pulled through. The engi- neers got down off their stumps; the electricians stopped sweating, and peace was restored. Plumb -Bob's genius was reward- ed with a hero's dues. SAFES Protect , sur nooks and CASH from b'1Itls and THIEVES. We have a size and type or Safe, or Cabinet, for any purpohe.
