By DANIEL F. LINDSAY Toni Larkin opened the kitchen door. His wife looked up with a hopeful smile as he entered. He just shook 1'; head. "No mail at all?" she said as she went on fixing dinner. "0h, there were a couple of ads and a bill from the seed com- pany." He hung his hat on a hook and crossed to the pump. His white hair was damp around his face when he straightened up again. "It's just not like Bill," she sighed. "Bill's got an unforgivin' streak, always did have, even when he was a little feller." Pa's old briar gave off a pungent odor as he lit it. "But this is different, Tom," she said, putting a pan of biscuits in the oven, "tomorrow is Christ - rims. It's a long way to the coast. Maybe he wrote but didn't mail It in time." "Ma," his tired old voice was filled with bitterness, "there's no need to stick pins in yourself by hopin'. Christmas or no Christmas • . that boy is still road," The old lady's eyes shone with faith. "Ile might stay mad all year long, but when Christmas comes ... he'll write. I know. I'm his Ma." "Don't forget," Toni said as he blew smoke at the ceiling. His eyes crinkled at the corners, "Im his father." "Dinner's ready, Pa," she said, filled with a deep longing and fought to keep the tears out of her voice. "I en understand that boy still Dein' mad :,t me, but why does he have to take it out on you?" "You're wrong, Tom," Ma re- plied as she lifted her head and smiled. "The day after Christmas, first delivery, we'll get a letter. You'll see." "Not from him," he shook his head grimly. The bringing in of the yule log originated in England during medie- val times, The log was dragged into the great hall at the beginning of the Christmas feast and was the occa- ' lion of the rendering of the Christ- mas toast, which is, In part: "This yule log burns. It destroys old hatreds and misunderstandings. Lek your envies vanish, and let the spir- it of good fellowship reign supreme for this season and through all the year." The yule log represents "Peace on earth, good will toward men." Surrounded by myth by primitive peoples, the mistletoe was taken :over by Christians who also wove ;fanciful legends around it. In ancient mythology, the mis- tletoe was the instrument of evil. The Druids of Britain believed the plant possessed healing powers. Oth- 'er primitive people thought that mis- •tletoe found growing on oaks had magical powers. Taken over into Christian tradi- tion, the mistletoe was dedicated to the Christ Child. Adopted as sym! bolical of the healing power o>< our Lord, it was used to adorn thel 1`altars at Christmas. Monks of the monasteries called it the "wood of ,the cross" and attributed supernat! trial posers to it. The white berries were said to reflect the radiance cr'•ght from the guiding star when Wise Lien were led to the 'Jniulger. "You're forgettin' Judy," she re- minded him as they eat down. "She'. a good daughter -In-law." "Oh, I'm not blamin' her," re- plying as he covered his biscuits with gravy, "Judy's a fine girl. It's his bull-headed pride." She got up and taking the cof- fee pot off the cook stove filled his cup. They ate in silence. Fin- ally he pushed his plate back, "You aren't eatin' much," he scolded. "I'nt just not hungry, Pa." "I see," he stood up. "I'nt goin' out and turn the heater on in the "She could see 1'a striding into the living room." hen house. It'll be cold tonight." His old shoulders slumped for- ward as he went outside. She shook her head and started pick- ing up the dishes. Her mind sank back into the past. To the days when Christmas was alive with the excitement and laughter of young voices. She could see Pa striding into the living' room bear- ing a large evergreen on his shoulder. Behind hint there was always a highly excited little boy, bearing an axe. She wondered if the little boy ever thought of it. Pa came back on the porch. Shc smiled as he kicked his toe against the threshold. It's a wonder, she thought, that there's any thres- hold left after ,ill these years. He carne into the kitchen, clumping An arni load of kindling in the box behind the range. "Snowin', Pa?" He shook his head and took off his wraps, replying, "Stopped." She hung the dish towels up to dry. He pulled a rocker in from the living room and sat down. "Everything all right in the barn?" Ma asked as she threw a few lumps of coal in the fire. "Sure," Pa said. A sad smile crossed his lips, "what's the use pretendin', Ma? w'e're both feclin' blue." She sat down at the old kitchen table and started peeling apples, uttered, "I know it." "Gonna bake me a pie:'';, he a sked. She nodded. "Apple w'as always Billy's favorite, too." "Now, Ma, what's the use of . • . ," he stopped as they heard a car drive up in the yard. "Must be Jim Rogers. Said today that new calf of his was sick." FIe opened the kitchen door and peer- ed out into the night. She could hear hint catch his breath as he watched a man and a woman get out. "Ma, who do you think?" his voice was low• "I knew," Ma laughed as she laid the paring knife down with a happy smile, "I knew it all the time." Which! "Of course, 1 must ask you for a deposit," said the landlady. "Certainly," replied the new ten- ant, handing over the required sunt. "Thanks. Now, shall we trust each other or do you want a re- ceipt?" Ch(/(/I'Cfl d Ofri .• or CIu'iiima� THERE'S more to buying toys than merely getting something fora youngster to play with. Home management specialists emphasize ave pointe worth remem- bering in purchasing playthings for children: 1. Safety, Keeping the age of the child in mind, youngsters should not be given a sharp knife, chemistry set, air rifle or a tool kit until they are old enough to handle them with care. Electric train equipment should be kept in good repair to prevent shock or burn. Infante should be guarded against whist with removable mouthpiece: stuffed animals with pin or button eyes, wheels and strings not secure ly dastened, and small nailing, 2. Cleanliness. Toys should lend themselves to being cleaned with. out damage. 3. Construction, Well made toys are capable of much wear and tear, with fragile playthings encouraging destructiveness in a child. 4. Versatility. A toy that offers many imaginative uses will intrigue a child longer. Blocks of various shapes and sizes have more con- struction possibilities than the usual sets. 6. Variety. Toys of different sizes, shapes, textures and colors develop different muscles and different kinds of interests. Too many toys, like no toys at all, are a mistake. The child is dis- tracted by the variety and not given the opportunity to develop the po- tentialities of the toys he has. It must also be appreciated that the price of a toy does not determine its real value since a cheap play- thing laything may provide a youngster with as much enjoyment as a more ex- pensive one. A department store Santa Claus listened to a long recital of requests by a tot, assuring her he would do hie best to meet her requirements. Before she left, Santa handed her a bright red apple. "What do you want Santa to do now?" her moth - or asked. Tho moppet promptly snapped: "Peel it!"

But, to it cattle to mean much more than that: it ,leant that at last, the legendary northland of the t'al'on and North -\\'c -t Territories has really become a part of Canada. Save for the stories of early explor- ers and prospectors, it has been an unknown laud, at once savage and romantic, Last year, the National Film Board decided to show Canadians what sort of country this is, and to ;:ace the rapid developments which have taken place there. Thus was born the filet, "The New North", which is now be- ing shown on the rural film pro- grammes in Ontario. * "Tile i\c\w North" is partly a story of transportation, always an import- ant story in Canada. 117 see the new highway as it winds past such his- toric and romantic spots as the Peace liver country, Fort St, John, Fort Nelson, the 1.i:17'(i River valley and the "town" of Whitehorse.

It may Secnl surprising, but truck and dairy farming are now everyday occupations in the new north. Even as far north as Dawson "City" such farms are active and flourishing, Then there is the tourist. There is a wild, strange beauty about this north country which is beginning to attract the summer visitor. The high mountains, the swift, glacier - fed streams, and the dense forests ,Lake it a summer playground equalled no where else in the world. But even more than that, undreamed-of hunt- ing, fishing and tnotlntain climbing opportunities are to be found at every turn. To make sure that this always remains the case, a national park of some 10,000 square miles has been set aside. Yes, there are opportunities aplenty in the new north! It is a land of opportunity for men and women with courage and the pioneering spirit. Prairie Provinces Want Sugar Maples It is learned front the Dominion I.xperiutental Station at Morden, Manitoba, that research is under way in an effort to cultivate the sugar maple tree in the prairie provinces. Unfortunately this beautiful tree -esteemed for its value as a state- ly ornamental shade tree, for its wavy -grained furniture wood, and for its sugary sap -is a native to only a part of the country. Al- though it grows as far south as Georgia it fails to extend far north in Canada. The western boundary of its native range appears to be in the 'Thunder Bay hills flanking Lake Superior, 'Pests made at Morden reveal that trees raised from seed obtain- ed in Southern Ontario and Que- bec 'are too tender to escape injury during severe \Vinters. Seedlings from Thunder Bay IIills, near Fort William, are doing well and pro- duce crops of seed, unless weather is adverse for Spring blossoms, 1 Reduce Christmas Hazards 'With Care To avoid tragic Christmas acci- dents in the home, the Fire Protec- tion institute issues these precau- tionary tips: -Use a flame -proof compound to spray wreaths and other pine deco- rations. -Use materials marked flame- proof •for lame- proof-tor tree trimmings and home decorations if they are obtainable. -Inspect Christmas tree lights, and repair frayed wires or loose sockets, -Never leave Christmas lights burning unless someone is around, -Never unwrap gifts near an open fire or flickering flame. Dia, pose of paper and other inflam- mable wrappings immediately. Even Skunk 'Aroma Conquered at Last Seems almost too good to believe; but modern science has conte up \vitt something that eliminates the most offensive of odors - even that used by a skunk as means of defense. Technically it's called alky'Idinle- thyl - benzyl -ammonium m - chloride. But don't worry about either the spelling or pronunciation. To the trade it's known as R2L. During the war it was government proper- ty, but now it's on the open market. Proponents of R::I, claim that a gallon of this solution, mixed, with 500 gallons of water, can be sprayed in a place like a fish factory and in a hour, presto, no fish odor. And anyone 'who (las liver come into close contact with a fish factory will realize that this is no ,lean trice:. The Method of operation is simple, Once the mixture is made it is put into a sprayer and sprayed around the premises until the odor disappears. It can also be used at full strength. One elan in charge of ,laking the mixture popular with the public sold a gallon of his brew to a dry clean- ing plant. A little later a titan came in carrying a bundle on a pole in front of him and demanded that the skunk odor be eliminated from his once -upon -a -time best suit. The dry cleaner was stumped until he remembered the R2I, and then with a well -I'll -try -anything - once attitude (tipped the suit into the gallon tnixure, And, after dry- ing, the suit was as sweet as a rose.

The Commission appreciates the effort of all consumers in this connection. But results are still short of being enough. Electricity costs so little in this province that people have long been accustomed to using it lavishly. For example, your porch light left burning when not needed is wasting elec- tricity. Ask yourself honestly: are you doing all you can to help relieve the situation?

As he, tom, stared at the gigantic post with its Tong horizontal beam he was re- membering the story of Don Attero, who had made Deep Water Valley a l,aradkc that during his lifetime had known neither crime nor greed, want nor envy. .\s his thoughts were deep with Don Attero, suddenly Juanita reach - cd out and gripped his arm tensely, staring with widened Cycs at the distant symbol.

"\Wait• senor!" she cried anxi- ously, "Do not go! I do not like—" But the frantic protest died on her lips. For she knew• that ?tfichael Valdez had decided — and few of his decisions were ever changed.

ISSUE 51-1947 Valdez advanced only a few paces into the night. He stopped then, melting into the inky blackness be- side a great rock, Then, quietly and decisively, he moved on again, never out of cover, but steadily advancing. Itis keen eyes were riveted on a spot where the valley walls carne close together, and where a river, black silver in the moonlight, raced swiftly but noiselessly below — far, far below. He could sec now that what had at first appeared to be one immense \alley was in reality two. It was as if some mythical giant of long centuries ago had flung down a tremendous dumbbell, had then re- moved it, and had left only two big clefts in the earth, with this narrow canyon marking the crosspiece be- tween the halls on either end, As he studied all of this, he did not hear fuanita until she pulled up her horse behind him, so quietly did she approach, "The man's work at Don .\ttcro's Cross is finished, senor," she said, her voice low. "Se? Ile brings a horse from behind those—" "That's a dog jumping up and down!" Valdez said abruptly, Shrill, alarmed yelps drifted to them across the night. Valdez saw that now the excited animal had leaped away front the burdened cross and was yelping and jumping at the mount of the shadowy, mys- terious rider•. Not only was that rider mysteri- ous, lint it was all a mystery here at midnight in this eerie setting. And it was one which was holding Michael Valdez in a viselike grip. Curiosity had led many a man to a final pause in a six-foot hole in the ground, he tried to tell himself, and that this was none of his business. But he had to know what was going or over there. i-Ic had tot He turned to his roan and set foot in the stirrup. "\\'c ride, Juanita," he said. But even as they started they were halted sharply as a shot rang out. Then came the pitiful yelps of a wounded dog. Beneath the cone- shaped sombrero which shaded his face El Caballero Rojo's mouth was a grim gash. His teeth were so lightly clenched that veins stood mit on his temples. * • * Again a six-gun barked, scud ing its echoes through the night.

HENRY W LONGFELLOW I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old, familiar carols play, And wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, goodwill to men! And thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along The unbroken song Of peace on earth good • will to men! Till, ringing, singing on its way, The world revolved from night to day, A voice, a chime, A chant sublime Of peace on earth, good -will to mens Then from each black, accursed mouth The cannon Mum tiered In the South, And with the sound The carols drowned 0f peace on earth, gout! -twill to men! It was as 11 an earthquake rent The hearthstones of a continent, And made forlorn The households born 0f peace on earth, good-w'lll to mens And In despair 1 bowed my head; "There Is no peace on earth," I said, "For hate Is strong, And mocks the song 0f peace on earth, good -will to menl" Then pealed the bells more loud and deep; "God Is not dead, nor doth he sleep) The wrong shall fail, The right pre• vail, With peace on earth, good -will tt men!"
