Young people's interest in public affairs and hnternationnl relations can be developed by joining 4-H clubs, Junior. Institutes and Farm Forums, and taking part in their programs. Tenching current events in schools and holding elections in schools, trains young people. We think each pollin i booth 01' division should have a woman official as it makes the women more willing to go to vote. Women and young people should be encouraged to attend nomination meetings and some progrnm of education should be given people so they will vote for the can. didale most capable of conducting the business of the town or township—not just voting for the one we like, or the friendly person, Most games were won by Mrs, Bob Dalton and Bert Hoggart; Lone hands— Mrs, Bob Jamieson, Bert Hoggart; Con- solation—Mrs, Bob Jamieson, Harvey Taylor, The group Is Invited to George Car. ler's for next Monday, tomos tool friends, and to all those farm y of six, In )825 site married he Blyth Telephone Co., 5,111.70; 13'ylh. who had helped, to melte the evening now bereft husband, Mr. Fred Prest, Public School, 1,382.68; Interest on Pre- such an outstanding success, and except for living briefly in Lon - paid Debentures, 811.01 A draw for a fine turkey, donated j den and Goderich, the couple have re - Motion by Howson and Whitfield by Mr. Wallace was won by Betty sided for tate past 18 years at Landes - that we do not rdjourn.

Very applicable to'lh0 sudden change in the weather this week, Twenty- four hours, from Monday morning un- til Tuesday morning, sow the complete transformation of our weather from what had been enjoyeblo fall weather to the dead of winter. Right now (Tuesday evening), if you look out the front door of the shop you'd never know but that winter had been here for weeks, and all this happened while the dandelions were still blooming, and the bees were reportedly bother- ing wood cutters in Morris township, But such is Canada, And we ven- ture to say that our American sub- scribers in sunny climes sometimes pine fur the grip of good frosty snow under their feet. • On the other hand, every time we look at a drift on the sidewalk, and think of the shovel—we pint for sun- ny Florida.

Christmas Gifts hi Leather Leather, leather — and more leather is showing up in the stores this Christmas shopping season in a dazzling variety of gifts, Good-looking leather gifts ranging from the new casual shoes for father and mother to saucy collars and cuffs for sis- ter, or a new football for Jun- ior, are going to be found un- der an awful lot of trees this year. You can use leather gifts to satisfy the two chief categories on your list: Those who want something glamorous and gay, and those who want something practical. Leather is both. Leather also has the advan- tage of being suitable efor both men and women, Watch a man rub his hand over a new piece of leather luggage, or a new pair of leather shoes. You can sense the feeling of pride he takes in genuine leather articles. Or ob- serve a woman whophas just cone home with a pair of shoes and matching bag in smooth, glowing leather, She gets a true feeling of luxury out of what are really basic necessities, For the ladies, of course, you can never go wrong by select- ing a leather handbag, which lends a note of elegance to any. costume, or a leather belt — and belts are HOT this year; or leather gloves; or maybe a leath- er wallet — perhaps with gay' bold designs embossed on it: or an exciting leather coat in smooth or suede leathers. And, just a tip, leather coats are burning up the country this year, from coast to coast.

That I do with all my heart because, as you know, happiness is meant to be shared, especially at Christ- mas time—and we certainly hope and expect this will be a happy Christmas in our family circle. With a newly acquired daughter- in-law and a brand new grand- son how could it be otherwise? And then of course there is that spirit of giving, Few of us can be really happy 'unless we are conscious of having contributed in some small way to the hap- piness of others, That, surely, is why we exchange greeting cards and gifts at Christmastide. If we lose the desire to give happiness, if we give presents only because it is "the thing to do" their there is a shallowness to our giving that makes itself felt. It even finds expression in the gifts, we offer; in the ill -chosen but some- times expensive gift that gives litSle pleasure to the recipient. So different from the handmade, or carefully selected gift, chosen because we are perfectly sure it is the very thing to bring pleasure or comfort. Even a box . of chocolates should be chosen with care. Grandpa may have a sweet tooth so a generous assort- ment tyf chocolates with soft filled centres delight him. But oh, the disappointment when half the chocolates are nut -filled or with hard -candy centres! Grand- pa feels cheated, annoyed that John or Mary had so little thought for him that they forgot about his poor old store -teeth, Wills have been changed for just such little acts of thought- lessness. Very often it isn't the big things but the 'ittle things—done 01 said—that make or mar the Christmas season. 11 d d r e over -stimulated with excitement, a r e oftel, hard to handle, Mothers become "nervy" won- "dering how they can possibly, get everything done that has to be done before the big day arrives. If only mothers would learn to relax „ , take time out for a lit- tie quiet session with their chil- dren, talking over the real mean- ing of Christmas; or of .Christ- mases long past when they were very young — children love to hear such stories over and over again, Or perhaps a carol sing- song, giving the origin of the old Christmas carols. The children would unconsciously welcome the quiet session; tension would be relaxed all round, Mother would find herself strangely rest- ed, ready again to•tackle the end.' less jobs that still confront her, Everyone loves Christmas car- ols but not everyone knows their origin, so here is the story be- hind . the better known carols.

' at ISSUll 51 -- 1951 • Elwood worked in the fields near Sandisfleld, Mass., he composed the well-known verses. He' had no paper or pencil with him and, fearing he might forget the words, he picked up a piece of chalk- from the field and wrote the words on his hat, "Hark the Herald Angels Sing."' Charles Wesley was on his way to church one bleak, Christmas morning, Children were laughing among themselves; church bells were ringing and. Charles was so impressed he ex- claimed with delight — "Hark! All the welkin rings, Glory to the King of Kings," This was later changed to the words as we know then and was written after the Wesley b r o t h e r s landed in Georgia, "Christians Awake" was writ• ten by John Byrom, a minor poet, of Manchester, England. His little daughter, Dolly, asked him 03 write something really special for Christmas, So Chris- tians Awake was dedicated to the little girl. "Glory to God on High." This is said to be the first Christmas Carol, and to have been sung. over the fields of Bethlehem. We next hear of it 1200 years later when St, Francis of Assissi, and the brethren of his Order, 'made the first Christmas Creche and knelt.before it singing hymns to honour the Saviour's birth. "Jesous Ahatonhia" (Jesus tc Born) This was probably the first Christian Carol ever sung in Canada, It was written in the Huron language by Father Jean de Breboeuf in 1642 for the In- dian Missions. It is quaint, charming and very beautiful in the simplicity of its wording. Carol singing has always been popular except ' during the Re- formation. • During that time churches were despoiled, organs removed or smashed and carol singing forbidden.

The answer to this is likely to be that Toronto's huge Var. sity Stadium, with its 28,000 seats, can accommodate more people than any other bowl in Canada. If that's the answer, it isn't a good one because it contains two holes through which you could shoot a 250 -pound line plunger. The first gap In this line of thought, presuming it exists, Is that In giving Toronto the monopoly on this game, several thousand Canadians, west anti east, who couldn't afford a trip of Toronto, and probably couldn't secure a scat for the game if they got there, are shut out. And these several thousand are ,the folks who, by giving their whole -hearted support to the teams of the Western Conference on the prairies, and the Big Four in, the east, make the Grey Cup spectacle possible, The second yawning gulf in the answer. is financial, If the Grey Cup is to be made a medium for extracting the ultimate in -dollars, then its practical proponents are missin', a bet. If it were played on, the salve practical -basis ass.M,the baseball World Series, or the hockey Stanley Cup, two osiJs: would be served, Those who helped make the:series pptysiple . would see the games, and the receipts of, say; a 3-ging:Niles, one east, two west, and vice versa in biter -nate year9'i•,}vould more than equal the returns from a single game, • There are those who urge that this is Canada's'inost gaudy, glittering and colorful sports drama of the year. We agree. But we don't agree to the argument that it should be Ihnited to one game, one city, or to the theory. that it would cheapen the Cup finals to broaden the scope, It hasn't cheapened the world's baseball series or the Stanley Cup series in any noticeable way, and these give the fans who paid all season a chance to view not only the prologue, but the final drama,. So it should be with the Grey Cup. Your comments and suggestions for th(rcolu,nn, will be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, c/o Calvert House, 431 Yonge St„ Toronto. Ca1vet DISTILLERS LIMITED AMHERSTBURG, ONTARIO .. PLAIN NORSE SENSE.. By BOB ELLIS Among the books we • brought home from our trip to Nova Scotia last September, there is one which we can strongly rec- ommend to qach and all who are interested in co-operation. It is the life story of "Father Tompkins of Nova Scotia," right- ly called the founder of the Antigonish Movement, The author, George Boyle, had known Father "Jimmy" Tomp- kins for more than thirty years and renders his story in clear simple words. Adult Education, To help people help them- selves, was Father Jimmy's life work. His great love of God and his Fellow Man, his infinite faith in the people and their funda- mental goodness, his compassion on their mute suffering, his un- bounded spirit, gave this frail little priest the strength to car- r on the fight for, the Brother- hood of Man under the Father. hood of 'God. It was, Father Tompkins' in- tense belief that if people were only given the knowledge of how to go about it, they would be able to free themselves from' the shackles of a "feudalistic• econ- omic system" which was holding them down in poverty, malnu •trition, ignorance and apathy. "Adult Education" was his magic formula, "at the pit heads, down in the mines, out among the fishermen's shacks, long the wharves, and 'whenever the far- nier's gather to sit and talk in the Double Speed — Scott Crossfield, 32 -year-old test pilot for ,the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, examines a mo• del of the plane he piloted to. ,327 -miles -per hour which Is Twice the speed of sound, Cross- head smashed his own existing speed record of 1,272-milesper- hour. evenings." Out of it came the Rural Conferences, the Extension Department of • St. Francis Xavier University, the Antigon- ish Movement. Cream for the Few. His first act in his. little par- ish of Canso, where he was exiled for his "radical" ideas, was to start a credit union, "Capital must be decentraliz- ed," lie wrote to a friend, "Our. Branch Banking is making us a glorified branch nation all al- ong the line. I notice in Canso for instance — an important fish- ing center — that the people are poorer and more dependent today than they overe twenty years ago." "They damn the place, thea' employment and their employ ers. They do not know what the (natter is, and they are too poor and too ignorant to find out for themselves, The reason back of it all is that they are being ex- ploited by fish firms owned by men in Montreal and anywhere else but Canso, Montreal banks will give money to Montreal (Ten, but Canso has no money to help encourage Canso brains." "And so we become, as 1 said, a branch people, and a few places hundreds of thousands �f miles away skim off the cream, which goes into the pockets of the very few — not the best place to keep cream, but you will forgive the figure." First Co-op. Ile encouraged .his fishermen to pool their resources and to send a crate of lobsters, for which they would have received from the local dealer the grand sum of $9,75, to a merchant in Bos ton, When, after weeks ot anxious waiting and speculation, back came a cheque for $32,' the first lobster marketing co-op was un- der way, Today it operates one of the largest, if not the largest, lobster cannery in the world. Father Jimmy's love of people, was all -embracing; it was cath- olic in the strict sense of the word, which means universal "I do not know of any Catholic or Methodist way of cutting coal - or canning Iobster," he used to say, • Father Jimmy Tompkins is ,dead, but his work is carried on by the men who cane after him and'hls memory continues in the minds and hearts of the fisher- men and miners the lumbermen and farmers of miners, Scotia.

SP,ORT ASt tTC'l' LC Do you happen to recall a character named Arthur Newton who ran for 24 hours, in Ham- ilton, and covered 152 miles or thereabouts? Well,, if you do, you certainly can't play junior any longer, be- cause it was over 22 years ago. Personally, we had forgotten all about it till our memory was jogged by a piece in The Chris- tian Science Monitor by Sydney Skilton, writing from London, England. Take it away, Sydney! * We have had one of those go - as -you -please endurance tests that used to so fascinate our grandfathers. On the University of London track at Hotspur Park eight men entered and six start- ed for a 24 hours running race. Three were there at the end, the winner having covered 0371/4 laps of the fora ;to -the -mile cin- der track. He was Walter Hayward, a 45 -year-old Johannesburg build- ing inspector. His official dis- tance, which rates as an unoffi- cial world record, was 159 miles 562 yards. It was 7 miles 22 yards further than the previous best distance that stood to the credit of Hayward's host, Ar- thur ' Newton. His performance, riccomplished • as a professional, was on a square 13 laps to the. mile track at Hamilton, Ontario, in 1931. « « Second to Hayward was Derek Reynolds, a 39 -year-old Lon- doner, with a distance of 154 miles 1,226 yards, which also im- proved on Newton's best per- formance and' which rates as the best -ever by an Englishman, Third was Leslie Griffiths, of Reading Athletic Club, Aged 48 years, and the oldest of the six starters, Griffiths went off the track for two hours during the night, but after deciding to re- sume went on to complete 120 miles 248 yards. Hayward, too, went off the track for half an hour after com- pleting 100 miles, To that • Hine he had been trotting rhythmic- ally round and round the cir- cuit, averdging a steady eight miles an hour. But after resum- ing he never recovered the rhythm and eventually finished a completely exhausted man. * « « While being assisted to the dressing room, Hayward was asked by Newton "Well, it was worth it, wasn't it?" To which a distressed Hayward gulped SALLY'S SALLIES • S,D,BROWNHD PRIME "please don't Worry., Your can report . maw that It you itva Mogtont Nw 01 Yo i ,v PUN • "Never again." But loss than 48 hours afterwards as he boarded a plane for home he had changed his mind and stated "I'11 try the run once more, if it can he ar- ran';ed," 9 , 4 There's the 'rub. Arranging these things is quite an expen- sive business because there is so little return. Nobody paid Hayward and his fellow com- petitors to run Ind nobody paid to watch them, But the hiring of the track, the refreshments for the competitors and those for the recorders, markers and timekeepers all have to be paid for. The payees are the few and scattered devotees of this pecu- liar pastime of ultra distance running. They come from all parts of the world. I•l:ayward, as we have men- tioned comes from South,.Africa. He travelled to Britain entirely at his. own expense; spending £500 of his savings to do so. While here he set new records for the London to Brighton (50 ;Hiles) and Bath to London (100 miles) runs. They were wcrk- outs for his 24-hour effort. He arrived home, after an absence of 55 days, as the greater ultra - distance runner in history. * « « The trip would nut have been possible had it not been for the camaraderie of these indefatig- able long -journeymen. Host to Hayward while in this country was 70 -year-old Arthur Newton who did not take to running un- til well into his 30's and then only to draw attention to what he considered an unjust confis- cation of his farming land in Natal. In one of his books New- ton states that he was confronted with two alternatives in order to draw publicity to his case. One was to be sent to prison for cringe and the other was to be. come a sports champion. He be- came a champion marathon run- ner, winning races and setting records in the continents of Af- rica, Europe, and America. « « « In due course Newlon captal- ?zed on his athletic prowess and although today he still rates as a professional he has never lost his love of running for the sheer joy of running. Thus it was a typical Newton action to invite Hayward to board and lodge at the Newton hone in Ruislip, some 20 miles northwest of Lon- don, « « « Another old-timer, rallying round the hailing of Haywards to Britain WAS Peter Guvuzzi who handled the feeding ar- rangements, Gavuzzi will hest be remembered as runner-up in that fabulous trans -Continental race from New York to Los An- geles in 1929, He is regarded as an authority on racing refresh- ment where his golden rule is "No solids." Thus Hayward dur- ing his remarkable feats of sta- mina had a diet of egg -custard and rice and ,frequent swigs of warmed lemon juice laced with sugar and salt, The patient offi- cials were those who -needed the proteins!

Jap Camera Fiends A new enthusiasm for pho- tography in Japan has caused a domestic sales boom .for the camera industry, growth of which is just about the top suc- cess story of postwar Japan. According to a recent survey, 3,500,000 Japanese own cameras. If the present sales rate contin- ues, one-third of Japan's 8(1,000,- 000 persons may possess cameras within a few years. Wealthier Japanese were noted for their interest in photography before, the war. But photogra- phy in Japan has now become a hobby for rich and poor alike. Immediately after the war, there was little money for cam- eras or other goods which were not essential, But with the sub- sequent rise in the standard of living, people have had more money for hobbies and pho- tography has proved about the most popular. Postwar Japan- ese cameras rival Europe's best for quality and durability. Thousands of camera shops have sprung up throughout the country during the past three years. Major camera manufac- turers and photographic maga- zines hold nationwide annual competitions which.attract world- wide attention. American servicemen- station- ed in Japan are as enthusiastic as the Japanese about photog-' raphy. There are few servicemen in Japan or Korea who do not own a camera, usually a "qual- ity" one made in Japan. An agency which supplies cam- eras to military stores in Japan reported that in the first eight months of this year it bight 40,- 003 cameras worth $2,029,537 from .different Japanese compan- ies. Japan produced 402,769 cam- eras last year. Of these, 72,483 valued at $1,220,000 were sold to United Nations forces, The remainder went to the home market and for export.. To increase sales, and to .earn foreign currency, the Japanese Government allows tourists to buy cameras free of tax. Sev- eral firms in the'large cities deal only with tourists,.

LONG - DISTANCE FIRST AID While taking a call from Cali- fornia, 2,000 miles away, a De- troit telephone operator, Mrs. Emma Lysons, was taken ill. Her moaning was heard by the oper- ator in California who promptly cleared the line for a call back to the Detroit main exchange. She explained the situation to head office, they in turn notified the police, and Mrs. Lyons was rushed to hospital where a haem- orrhage was diagnosed and suc- cessfully treated.

Winter Care For Your Feet As winter's chilly blasts usher in the party season, our minds are fixed on slimmer waistlines, glossier hairdos and .more beau- tiful complexions. But it won't help if you're hobbling around on feet that add ten years to your age. You wouldn't dream of sloshing barefoot through snow and slush on your round of holiday parties. Chances are, though, you'll do almost as much damage to your feet simply by taking them for granted. Foot doctors have traced a lot of winter foot ills to shoes ,that fit badly or that are made of in- ferior materials, Most warren don't realize that ill-fitting shoes may impede blood circulation and bring on chilblains and even a bad case of frostbite quicker than a trip to the Arctic. That's one reason why foot doctors recom- mend nightly foot exercises to tone up sluggish blood vessels, and to keep the tiny bones and muscles in trim, Another basic piece of advice they offer is the wearing of all - leather shoes, fitted with plenty of toe -wiggling room to prevent constriction. Leather, being an animal hide and the closest thing to the hu- man akin, retains its breathing pores. This means it allows air to pass through the shoes to ev- aporate foot moisture, at the same time as it insulates your feet against the cold, There's no better way to avoid that clammy condition inside the shoe which chills the entire body. Oddly, quite a lot of trouble de- velops from over -protecting the feet. By all means keep them dry, but don't suffocate them by wearing galoshes or overshoes in- doors, on heated buses, autos or trains, Worn too many hours at a time, rubbers will hike foot temperatures inside the • shoe, causing excessive perspiration, swelling and skin sensitivity. That's an open invitation to the common cold, Shod with all -leather shoes that give down-to-earth walking comfort, your underpinnings will get added benefit from a nightly treatment. To begin with, give them a pep bath—a handful of bicarbonate of socia m,ixed with warm water. After a cool rinse, dust the feet with a foot powder. Then follow up with some simple exercises, First, take fifty steps around the bedroom on your -toes —it loosens all the small bones, muscles and ligaments. As a bun- ion -prevention measure, rotate the big toe by hand for a few minutes, and wind up by rubbing the soles briskly with a dry towel. Follow these recommendations and you'll get through winter's snow and slush on your own two feet—without grimacing in pain. Tobacco pickers once were the slaves; now it's the smokers.

JENSEN BofM HEAD STRESSES NEW NEED FOR SALESMANSHIP, EFFICIENCY, REALISM Gordon Ball Sees Keener Competition and Return of Normal Hazards of Enterprise ARTHUR JENSEN, GENERAL MANAGER, PRESENTS RECORD STATEMENT, REVIEWS BUSINESS • OUTLOOK, PRAISES PERSONNEL Keener competition and the return of normal hazards of enterprise were given as reasons for a renewed emphasis on salesmanship, efficiency and sober realism in business by Gor- don R. Ball, president .of the Bank of" Montreal, at its 136th annual meeting of shareholders, In reviewing the Canadian business picture during the past year, the B. of M; president said that "we seem to have passed from a situation in which nearly all business influences were buoyant to one in which the normal hazards of enterprise are once more apparent." "The business landscape," he said, "has begun to show a more varied pattern of light and shade. Some industries, particularly those dependent on export mar- kets, have been encountering dif- ficulties. Competition has been keener, both in domestic and for- eign trade." Mr, Ball maintained that, while these developments did not jus- tify a gloomy view of Canada's prospects, they did suggest the need for "a healthy awareness that boom conditions of easy selling and easy profits are sub- siding." "I am still an optimist," he said, "regarding Canada's future, but sensible optimism includes a candid recognition that the immediate prospect places a re- newed emphasis on salesman- ship, efficiency and sober real- ism." Moro Intensive and Economic Use of Reso'rces The speaker saw in the im- provement that had taken place during the past year in the sphere of international trade and finance "a great opportunity for further bold advances to- wards more intensive and eco- nomic use of resources." He felt it would' be tragic if, just at the time when the mili- tary and political defences of nations of goodwill were being strengthened, the economic gains of the recent past were to be lost, "It is up to all of us, in. all countries, who stand with pri- vate enterprise to demonstrate here and now that the system that we rightly believe- produces most and contributes most fully to well-being does not inevit- ably beget periods of slump and mass unemployment, "That, as I see it, is the great and immediate challenge of the present day. And that challenge will not be met if the bogey of over -production should drive in- dividual nations behind the bar- ricades of high tariffs and in- tensified restrictions." Mr, Ball saw the need of the immediate future as the speedy furtherance of trade policies based fundamentally on recog- nition of three facts: first, that the welfare of the free nations is inter -dependent' second, that the objective of "trade riot aid" can be achieved only with the full realization that trade is a two-way process; and third, that It is idle to talk of endur- ing peace without deliberate meausres designed to help less fortunate , countries to help themselves by giving them a fair chance to sell in external markets. y General Manarr Presents Record Report Arthur C. Jensen, general manager, presented the bank's 136th annual statement, showing deposits, loans and total resour- ces at the highest figures on record, with earning moderate- ly up from the 1952 level. Commenting on the rise in the bank's current loans to a new high of $787 million, the gener- al manager pointed out that "the increase of $124 million is considerable and, while it re- flects the additional funds re- quired to finance the large carryover of wheat as well as some increase in the consumer credit field, most sectors of our loaning business are in higher figures than at the end of the last fiscal year," Mr. Jensen referred to the re- cent proposal by the Federal Government to empower the chartered banks to lend money against mortgage security for new housing. "I think I should perhaps say that, for our part we are examining the proposal with a co-operative and open mind, particularly in view of those features that provide for insurance of mortgages and for eligibility of such mortgages for • rediscount at the Bank of Cana- da." Scant Evidence of Downturn in Hu''ness In concluding his review of business conditions, the general manager referred to the com. monly heard suggestion that 1954 might witness some slow-. ing down in Canada's progress, "Certainly, if there is any ap- preciable,.or prolonged slacken- ing of business activity in the United' States," lie said, "it is only to be expected that the effects will be felt in this coun- try. "It is not my purpose here to attempt to prophesy, but rather to paint in the economic back- ground against which the bank's annual report is presented, Whatever the coning year may have in store, however, it is worth emphasizing that there is as yet scant evidence of any general or sharp downturn in the pace of business," Mr, Jensen praised the bank's staff for theirperformance in meeting. the high volume of business. He explained that the bank was continuing to develop its mechanization program to the maximum practical degree to assist the staff in handling the immense volume of work, and that it was likewise keeping un- der constant review all matters relating to the welfare of the staff, Twin Delivery — Mrs. Joseph Derricks, 41; holds her identical twins, Paul, left, and Peter, born at the Episcopal Hospital in Philadelphia: Standing at their side •Ia another set of identical twins, Gordon Lockhart, left,. and Herbert G.
