GNR. HARVEY GARNISS
Gunner Garniss arrived on December
Kith on the Monarch of Bcrnu'la
which docked at Halifax. Ile arrived
on Monday at Guelph with the 1(ith and
43rd Battery, y -here they were met by
the Guelph welcoming committee and
paraded to the Armories. The mayor
of Guelph delivered an address of wel-
come. 1larvey was stet in Guelph by
his brother, Spr 1.eslic Garniss who al-
so recently art ivetl home from Over-
seas. They landed in Myth 011 the
9:30 bus Monday night, and since that
time Harvey has been renewing old ac-
quaintances.
Harvey enlisted on September 211d,
1941 at London. Ile was supposed to
be attached to the 4th Light Anti Air-
craft. Regiment, but it was filled up and
he went overseas as a reniforcenscnt,
arriving in hs,gland on January 20th
194?. 1 -le was transferred to the Se-
cond Division and was with them twu-
and-a-half years, going from there to
the Third Medium Regiment. Ile went
to France on July 8:11, 1914 and was
in acticn with the 'Third Nlediunn u,ttil
the war ended. Ile was posted for re-
patriation in July, 19.45 and returned
to England in November.
Speaking of his experiences, Harvey
says now that it is over he wouldn't
have missed it for the world. The go-
ing was a sial(. grim at times, and he
will remember it as long as he lives.
I -ie wishes to convey his thanks to
to Blyth Red Cross, the W.A. of the
United Church, the Blyth 'Turnip Plant
the Clinton Branch Canadian Legion
and all ether organizations who sent
and friends. The war, which has
been the centre of our thoughts for
the past six CI:ristntasscs, is over,
and Canada ,: again at peace, along
with most of the world. True,
many problem's of great importance
to the future peace of the world,
have yet to be ironed out. But the
thought of :major importance—our
boys are safe at home, and those
who ale not. yet home, arc safe, and
will soon be with us, makes for the
Merriest Christmas since 1938.
On behalf of it's advertisers, The
Standard wishes subscribers, near
and far, the Very Merriest of
Christmasses.

THIS is a special kind of Christmas—the first

At last we are free to celebrate the season in
the old-time way.
Our loved ones are hotue. The candles will
gleam brighter now, the balsam boughs will
breathe a more pungent fragrance, and more
sweetly than ever will carols ring ... as if in
answer to a !world's prayers for peace.
But none will forget—nost• or ever—those fallen
sons who sacrified their lives that we might
know Lite joy of Christmas again.
In their honour and to their glory ive worship
al. home and shrine. And in our hearts shall
we resolve to (10 those things which keep us
strong and in the right—the best way of all to
banish war forever.
In this, we shall be Hien who ih%nlc of to-

1 want to talk about is ole running
a pipe down here through your
pasture and pooping a little water
out of that creek. \\'hat you figure
you'll charge ole for running the
pipe. Line, and the water?"
()Id Harper did not look up, but
there was about his mouth a sly
and contemptuous' twist. "Don't
figure to charge ye nothing. Har-
vey."
"Well, I'll pay whatever the
damages Cottle to."
"Don't figure to charge you
nothing," Harper event 011 in a
maddening drawl, "because 1 don't
figure to let you have any water,
because I've leased every doggone
acre of this place to some fellers
down in Corpus Christi, And if
there's any more water itt that
creek than what my cattle can
drink, I reckon they'll want it
theirselves. They're paying me
twenty dollars an acre for ten
years, and that's more than 1 can
make off'n a bunch of cows."
11 art'ey's neck was red and his
eyes glared. "Ilarper," he said, I
stere wish that note was due right
now. I'd foreclose and sell you
out!"
"Well, it ain't due. And woken it
conies due 1'11 have the maney to
pay it. So looks like there ain't
very much you can do. Anyway
you got it all right in your own
family. It was your son-in-law,
01 Kimball, fixed up the leases for
Inc.''
"Who'd you lease to, if it's any
of my business?"
"It ain't, but I don't mind tell-
ing for I reckon you'll find out
anyhow. i leased to Gricc-Mor
gan—and if you can get any water
out of that outfit, you're a good
out,"
"Well, I'll get it ---if I have to
run a pipe plumb to the Gulf of
Mexico after it!"
Harvey stamped away. Ile trod
viciously on the starter and raced
the engine till it roared. "What do
you know?" he demanded wrath-
fully. "That dirty little heel! Ile
conies to my house Sundays and
eats my Chicken and drinks my
liquor, and then he sells me out—
like this. Son, if it wasn't for
Grace, I'd sure drive into town and
give Mr. Oliver Kimball n good
puke itt the jaw!"
"l'ni afraid you won't get any
concessions out of that Gricc-Mor-
gan outfit." Gary was dubious.
"Yeah; I've heard about them—
"You might figure on running r
pipe line and tapping the city sup-
ely—that is, if they'd let you."
"I'11 go talk to 'eat. They've got
water to sell—they can sell it to
me."
"Do you want me to see about
the concrete job? \Ve can't put a
derrick up without concrete corn-
ers and we have to concrete the
surface casing in."
"You said 3 ou knew a good out -
(it."
"Powers is the best. All new
equipment, and they work fast and
save you money."
"Nell, you get Addie to take yott

Christmas Suggestions
The outburst of Christmas cheer,
the chiming of the bells, the wor-
ship, the fun and all that goes to
make a !ferry Chrismas, are ' a-
tonts inherited from a long lin,. of
ancestors and front many ronr.-
tr:es. \Varot hospitality at this
season is a tradition of long stanll-
in}, so we gather our familia, our
friends, and those for whom we
are making Chris1na.;, to share the
happiness of the day.
The home economists of the
Consumer Section, Dominion De-
partment of Agriculture, offer a
few suggestions to simplify some
of the homemakers' problems.
In keeping with the Christmas
colour achenie the salad should be
red. The choice is between cran-
berries, tomato juice and beets. A
jellied salad will be the easiest to
prepare and serve, since it requires
only garnishing with greens and
dressing at the last minute.
Dessert will probably be plum
pudding or mince pie, but it is wise
to have an alternative dessert for
the children and those who may
have already indulged rather heart-
ily in the first course. An old-
time homemade vanilla custard ice
cream served with a red fruit sauce
it just right.
Jellied Beot Ring
1 tablespoon gelatine
;a cup cold water
1 cup juice from canned beets,
or water
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
3 tablespoons prepared horse-
radish

The Message of Christmas
to the World
Lesson: Luke 2:1--14.
Golden Text
"Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward
men."—Luke 2:17,
Journey to Bethlehem
Luke 2:1-4.—In taking a Jew-
ish census, all families went to the
tribe to which they belonged and
to the place where their family had
resided. Joseph in fulfilling this
demand of the Roman authorities
was fulfilling the Old Testament
prophecy respecting the birthplace
of the Lord.
Angel of tho Lord
5-7.—The word manger means
simply the stable or place where
the cattle or camels lodged, There
was no room at the inn and Mary
and Joseph were obliged to lodge
in the stable. It was not necessar-
ily a proof of poverty—under such
conditions even the rich with the
poor had to suffer inconveniences.
8-11.—The angel of the Lord
came upon tie shepherds suddenly.
It is not surprising that the appear-
ance of the angel, enveloped in
Heavenly glory, filled these simple
shepherds with fear because the
presence of an angel was associ-
ated with disaster or death to the
Jewish mind.
But the Divine messenger carte
not to speak of disaster, but of de-
liverance; not of death but of life.
The great joy of believers in their
darkest hour is a striking fulfill-
ment of the angel's message.
The Gospel is first a personal
message. The angel spoke as
though Christ was born especially
for their sakes—"Unto you is
be rn."
The Angcs' Joy
12.14.—The sign given to these
simple hearted shepherds was so
simple that they could not fail to
find the child wrapped in swad-
dling clothes and lying in a man-
ger.
The angels gave praise to God in
the Highest, that is, in the highest
Heavens. They praised God for
the great plan of redemption,
whereby sinful man was to be
saved through the Babe whose
birth the messenger announced.

Christmas Present
With Christmas close at hand the
young man is likely to solve the
'gift problem" in an orthodox way
, by visiting' the florist or candy
shop. Exhibits in the Royal On-
tario Museum, however, show that
in. the nth century his lady love
likely would have received a far
more varied selection of presents°
for instance, she might have been
given a stay busk, which was a
long flat piece of wood that wo-
men wore at that time tucked
down inside the front of their bo-
dices to add to the rigidity of the
pr'son-like corsets. There is a stay
busk in the costume gallery of the
Museum that is carved with two
sets of initials and the date 1703.
An even more significant gift
was a wooden &poen. There are
some. of these love spoons in the
Museum that are beautif,llly
carved and seem to suggest that in
days gone by you had to be quite
handy with a pocket knife before
you could be a successful lover,
The expression "spooning" conics
front the way spoons fit closely
together and this curious custom of
giving a spoon grew out of that
use of the word.

Tradition make, as expect r there
%%ill be a , ertan amount of giving
ard getting, but in that I often feel
we have lost sight of the original
idea behind this exchange n' gift.
We seem 1.) he leaning towards a
tendancy to spend Mote and more
each year on the pre; eats Nye buy
for our friends, I ant afraid we too
often forget that gifts are meant
as an expression of our thought
for one another—not as a blatant
display of spending power. Haven't
we all had the experience some
time or odor of being cheered and
touched by a simple and inexpen-
sive present from an unexpected
quarter? If that be so, then isn't
it safe to assume that we also can
give pleasure in the sante tray? We
can no mo. e buy a happy Christ-
mas by extravagent giving than we
can buy our way into the Kingdom
of Heavers. Ifappiness at Christ-
mas or at any other time, for that
matter, is reflected in our own
hearts in proportion to our will to
bring happiness to the lives of
others.
*
And what about Christmas fare
—does it contribute towards our
enjoyment? At the risk of being
thought slightly gluttonous I
would say "ccs"—particularly with
so many of our boys back from
overseas. .\sk these boy; and you
will soon find that Christmas din-
ner according to their own fancily
tradition has, to them, become a
symbol. Don't try to change it—
don't think to yourself "I won't
bother making puddings t11is year"
—or cake,;, or whatever it is that
has been your custom. If you do
so alit) up you take something
away from C Ilrisolas as your fanci-
ly remembers it, No need to be
extravagant—remember the starv-
ing millions in Europe—but use
your imagination, your ingenuity,
and nlal-ie something that looks
lkie the real thing.
*
And a tree! ‘What is home with-
out your own personal Christmas
tree? Wes, it is quite a bother, I
know, but don't let the old custom
die. Let your tree be big or small,
as you wish, but make it gay and
sparkling. Bring out ghee gaudy
baubles, the tinsel, the star and the
Christmas angel, even though the
one 11 was your delight to trim the
tree for in years gone by is no
longer here to share it with you.
You naturally feel y'ou no longer
have the heart for such pretense,
But I urge you, have a tree any-
way. Can't you feel that "he"
would wish it—and who can say

The High Barbaree
by Charles Nordhoff
and James Norman Hall
A Catalina Flying Boat lies
ditched in the Pacific after its
death struggle with a Jap sub-
marine. Its radio has been des•
troyed, its water tapks punctured,
and three of its crew killed, But
the Cat still floats, and in It the
two survivors, Alcc Brooke, the
young pilot from Iowa, and his
navigator, Gene Mauriac of Cali-
fornia, sweat out the hours as they
wait for rescue.
Days of overcast—on one of
which they see a plane that does
not spot them—are succeeded by
an endless stretch of brassy heat.
They know they have drifted far
out of range of Henderson Field,
and as the hours pile up and the
water runs low, Alec begins to
reminisce about his home town in
Iowa, about his sea -faring uncle,
and about his boyhood dream of
a tiny Pacific Island, an island
marked "Existence Doubtful" on
the old maps, an island toward
which they night even now be
drifting . , .

Proposed Loan
To Great Britain
t
"Deal" of Vital Importance
to all United Nations.
The loan of $4,400,000,000 ar-
ranged last week by British repre-
sentatives with the United States
government has two features—an
advance of $3,750,000,000 to Bri-
tain, to be used to re-establish
domestic economy, and $650,000,-
000 by way of a Lend -Lease bal-
epce, The essential aspect of the
$4,400,000,000 loan is the good it
can do the two Countries' (and the
world) in setting up the basis for
new trade agreements which will
permit a free flow of world -trade
goods.
The major trade concessions
made by great Britain will work to
the advantage of the United States,
by opening up new markets to
American industry and agriculture.
It is not inconceivable that these
renewed markets %\rill add more
billions to the national income of
the United States in one year
than the amount of the loan,
lit lighting the wear, says the
Ncw York Sun, Great Britain en-
tirely exhausted its working capi•
tal. The British still arc in a strong
pc: ition as business men all over
the world. They have the shops
and an established reputation fn"
sound business dealings, but they
haven't the goods with which iu
stock their shops.
It is now proposed that we help
than by supplying working capital.
If we do so we can hope that the
channels of world trade once more
will be open to ourselves as well as
to Great Britain and other nations.
If world trade cannot be estab-
lished in an orderly manner, the
alternative for Great Britain will
be inability to buy goods from us
which would mean that she would
have to confine her trade to the
sterling area
Population of U.S.
Over 140,000,000
The Census Bureau has an-
nounced that the population of the
United States passed the 110,000,-
000 mark about Oct. 1.
J. C. Capp, Bureau Director, said
that on this basis, the population
increased by about 8,330,725 in the
STA years following the 1940 cen-
sus, This compares with an in-
crease of 8,894,29 during the 10
years between 1930 and 1910.
Britain Rebuilding
Merchant Navy
A merchant navy of fast, up-to-
date ships is shaping up in Brit-
ain's many shipyards and by early
next year many new cargo liners
will be ready to carry goods abroad
in the greatest export drive of
this country's history,
At Sept. 30 Llyod's register re-
ported 3371 ships of 1,496,2.43 tons
were under construction in the
United Kingdom, 'Almnost 100 of
the craft are coastal vessels under
500 tons but 87 are of more than
3,000 tons, suitable for deepsea
service.
Rebuilding Britain's merchant
fleet to its 20,000,000 -ton pre-war
level will he a work of years.
Helicopters
Two liners note being buil; in
Britain will carry helicopters to fly
off mail aid urgent freight as they
near port.

When your BACK
ACES...
Backache is often caused by lazy kidney
action. When kidneys get out of order excess
acids and poisons retrain in the system. Then
backache, headache, rheumatic pain, dis.
turbed rest or that 'tired out' feeling may
soon follow. To help keep your kidneys
working properly—use Dodd's Kidney Pills.
