As we can only imagine what animals were in the stable the night the Christ was born, we know Joseph's donkey was there, and Ron Elliott told what could have been the donkeys impressions. Danny Campbell told the impressions of a dog, who could have followed the Shepherds. As there was a manger, it naturally follows there would be cattle and hor- ses. The Shepherd's could have car- ried a lamb. The cow's story was told by Ilelen McClinchey and the lamb's ac- count given by Ann Howson, Ivan Blake told the horse's story, As there was no room in the •inn it would be expected a camel would be there, and Sandra Henry told the canc- els tale. The impressions of the ox was told by Gordon McClinchey; the duck, Sandra McNichol; the dove, Nan- cy Stewart, The angels were Bonnie r Bryant, Mary and Margaret Howson, Agnes Lawrie, Carolyn .

As Christmas falls on. Sunday this year, the ordinary two-day holiday period would have been decreased to one day if regular procedure, had been follow' cd. However, a survey was taken of several of the local merchants and the majority felt that the longer period was desirable. This decision was made formal by a proclamation placed in this issue of the Standard by Reeve W. II. Morritt. It is believed that many of the neigh- boring municipalities arc also observ- ing the Monday and Tuesday closing. Residents are reminded that the stores will remain open all day Wdd- nesday next week. Don't Chance Fire at Xmas Conmmunities such as ours in Ontario suffer their biggest fire loss during ' the winter season, Fire Chief Irvin Bowes said. The reason? All heating systems are in constant use and Christ- mas brings a flock of new fire hazards into every home. The symbol of Christmas festivities, the Christmas tree, can turn from a glittering family delight to a dangerous inferno if we are careless of fire safe- ty rules. This hazard grows with the size of the tree, the length of time it has been cut, where it is placed in the room and how long we keep it after Christmas. Chief Bowes urged householders to observe a few simple rules of Christ- mas tree fire safety. "Always select a fresh, green tree that is not dropping needles," he said, "and keep it in a cool place until you are ready to set it up. • Then cut off the trunk at an angle about an inch and a half from the bottom and place it in water. Be sure to keep the water container full at all times. Inspect your strings of lights for :breaks, frays or shorts and replace any defective strings with now ones. When purchasing new strings, be sure to look for the CSA mark of certifica- tion—your assurance that they are safe from fire and shock hazard. Choose a location in .the room away from all sources of heat such as radiators, fire- places and TV sets. Make sure, too, that the tree will not obstruct any exit from the room should it fall. An im- portant point to remember is never to leave the house or go to bed and leave the tree light burning, Christmas part- ies or New Year's parties increase the problem of careless smoking which started nearly 10,000 fires in Ontario last year. The chief advised all hosts , and hostesses to keep all cigarettes and matches away from the tree and to check for carelessly discarded buttsaf- ter parties, Christmas decorations and wrappings are ano.her Christmas fire hazards. Wrappings should be displos- ed of in a metal 'garbage can Immedi- ately after the gifts have been open- ed. Special care should be exercised where open flame candles are used for mantle or table decoration but, the chief advises, it would be far safer not to use them at all. Observance of a few simple rules of fire safety will ensure a merry, fire - safe Christmas. . W. M. S.

F, Meally, Rector of Trinity Anglican Church, Blyth) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, '1'hc Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, 'the Prince of Peace. It is a privilege to pause in the stress of modern life and go back in spirit to stand by that manger bed and gaze again upon the lovely Babe, who is God manifest in flesh. The story of the birth of Christ is ever new. In all the annala of earth there is nothing else to be compared with it. Nothing can be' added to or subtracted from the Christmas story. Its very simplicity lifts us above the common place into the beauty and charm of an atmosphere that defies analysis, `Ihc C1uistimas story is a blessed and glorious fact, God has actually come down to earth and become incarnate in the person of the man Christ Jesus. On that first Christmas morning two worlds met, and it was the most thrilling hour since the birth of time. God's final plans for universal salvation took definite shape when the Arch- angel told the lowly imaiden of Nazareth that God had chosen her as the one who was to he the earthly mother of the world's Redeemer. Christ Jesus became man in order that He might give His life a ran- som for many. Apart from Calvary, Bethlehem would have no lasting significance. 'Ihe Saviour born in David's city had to die in order to redeem us to God. To keep Christmas and yet not to have received Christ as Saviour is to trifle Ali the mercy God has manifested in the gift of 11is Son. Have we 'received Him for our very own, and are we seeking to glorify IIim in our lives? "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God .. and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us , , , He came unto His own and Itis own received Him not. But as many as received Him to thenar gave He power to become the sons of God, even to then that believe on His name." (St. John 1: 1-14). May you have 'the gladness of Christmas, which is Hope; the spirit of Christmas, which is Peace; the heart of Christmas, which is Love.

When it reaches ab- surd levels and the individual is always trying to get himself into the limelight, it is more than dangerous, it can prove to be fatal. Middle-aged men who fall in love with married women fre- quently find themselves in trouble. Falling in love and courting can be a lot of fun. But It is difficult when the man is French, the woman English, and neither of them speaks one word of the other's language! Such was the situation in 1923 when Jean-Pierre Vaquier met an attractive woman in Biarritz. She was the wife of the land- lord of the Blue Anchor Hotel at Byfleet, Surrey. The publican was reasonably fgood at his job, out his best riends would never have des- cribed him as anything but dull and dreary. When loaded with alcohol he could be amusing, but normally he was a bore, Heavy drinkers married to attractive wives who have roving eyes are always in danger. Unfortunately they often don't realize it. The publican and his wife had lived at Byfleet for many years. In 1923 he was thirty-seven years old and had been married for seventeen years. His wife had from time to time carried on various business- es, She had never been particu- larly successful and bankruptcy had loomed on the horizon on several occasions, By 1923 her creditors were breathing down her neck. However, her financial posi- tion didn't particularly worry her. When, towards the end of that year, affairs were becoming slightly tedious she decided to call it a day and go to France for a holiday. Not the small pension for this lady. Only the best hotel in Biarritz was good enough and there she met Jean-Pierre Va- quier, a Frenchman aged 'forty- five. He was a man of strong at- traction, vain to madness, and his principal thoughts were oc- cupied with his appearance. He spent more time on his hair, moustache and beard in a week than most men spend on their appearance in a lifetime. In behaviour and tempera- ment Vaquier was it typical latin. He was intelligent, clever and resourceful, but his vanity and chattiness were to be his undoing. The wife hadn't been in Biar- ritz many days before she be- came the mistress of the little Frenchman. She moved from her original hotel to live with him and in the history of love affairs this liaison must have been one of the strangest. From the beginning, the whole of the conversation between them was conducted with the aid of, a dictionary. Dori '"' wife's romantic interlude in BiarrrL"t . publi- can appears to have become, slightly irritated, He, also, was suffering from financial embar- rassment. He, also, was tired and in need of a holiday, and before his wife reached home, as a re- sult of his telegrams, he went Obey the traffic signs — they are placed there for YOUR SAFETY. to Margate for a short rest. May- be the East Coat air would help his drink problems. Only a few hours behind the erring wife was Vaquier, IIe was hot in pursuit and the pair, hav- ing spent a night or two together in London, arrived back at the Blue Anchor Hotel, where Va- quier was apparently prepared to put his feet up indefinitely, writes David Ensor in "Tit -Bits". He was very short of money and before long was being pro- vided for by his mistress, whose husband, having returned from Margate, was in bed with influ- enzza. Vaquier stayed for several weeks. How much the husband knew of his wife's affair it is impossible to guess. The chances are that, drink being his hobby, he wasn't particularly interested in his wife's behaviour. But one thing is certain, a great deal of drinking went on at the hotel and one night to- wards the end of March, 1924, a fabulous party took place, as a result of which a number of guests staying in the hotel had to be carried to bed before mid- night. Vaquier was an early riser and the morning after the party he was in the smoke room drink- ing his coffee as usual. On the mantelpiece, also as usual, stood the bottle containing the publi- can's health salts. It had been his custom for years to come down and have a dose of this pick-me-up before he set about the business of the day. On this occasion, after a very thick night, no doubt he felt it necessary to sample the cool, sparkling drink. He came down to the smoke room, he saw Jean-Pierre sip- ping his coffee. He took his dose of salts and in less than half an hour he was dead. The publican died as the re- sult of strychnine poisoning and while it was perfectly obvious his wife knew nothing about the circumstances of his death, it was equally obvious the excit- able French lover knew more than he cared to admit. Where had the strychnine come from? For some days there was no evidence that the poison had been in the possession of Vaquier. Nor was there any evi- dence which could show how the poison had been brought on to the premises. Then, quite out of the blue, Vaquier made his fa t a l mis- take. Not unnaturally the Press had been very interested in the landlord's sensational de at h. With supreme vanity Vaquier had enjoyed having his picture taken, It was not surprising that his photograph was recognized, One who saw it was a" chemist who managed a shop near the hotel where Vaquier stayed on his arrival in England. He iden- tified the photograph as that of a man who had bought poison from him, including a quantity of strychnine. At his trial Vaquier's denials and stories were even more stu- pid than is usual in such cases. The prosecution's only difficul- ty, was to show that Vaquier had had a sufficient amount of strychnine in his possession. Nevertheless it was only after the jury convicted Vaquier that the police found at the Blue Anchor Hotel enough strychnine to poison 740 people. Jean-Pierre Vaquier screamed at his trial, He screamed at his appeal, Whether he screamed. at his execution we don't know.

Per- haps a home atmosphere which Included the warm taps of bread fresh from the oven each week, doughnuts crisp from the kettle, and gingersnaps, the spicy, pun- gent smell of which reached me way out under the lilac bushes was its own urging. In any event, there came a day whet I an- nounced that I wanted to ....Oki writes Gertrude P. Lancaster in the Christian Science Monito1. r Mother was pleased and asked what I would like to make. "Lemon meringue pie," was the answer. For a girl not yet in her teens this may have seemed quite an order, but mother was too wise to suggest anything prosa- ically simple. Lemon meringue pie it should be — in all its glory! As I remember it, mother gave me a llst of ingredients, ex- plained what to do with them, and warned me of pitfalls, Now and then she would check my progress, but somehow she knew that half the fun lay in doing all I could myself, I don't re- member just what the first pie looked like, but I do remember the warm appreciation of my parents when we ate the fin- ished product, Many pies later, I still feel that mother's recipe for the lem- on custard excels any other I have eaten. Of course, as any cookbook will explain, tastes vary in how firm a lemon cus- tard should be, in how tart or sweet. Ours is only firm enough to hold a very soft shape; in fact, when the pie is cut, the filling usually oozes gently onto the pie plate. We prefer this to a stiff, gelatinous custard, As for sweetness, it's a bit on the tart side except when I'm having company which prefers a very sweet lemon flavor, If you've been reading lemon pie recipes lately, you' will note that today's method of combin- ing the ingredients is not our method. I've tried the new ways and prefer mother's. Hers is simple, for one thing, and 1 like the results better, too, •+ + Pie shells and meringues are a separate subject, and I'll not discuss then here,' The filling is as follows: Put in a double boiler a cup of hot water and butter the size of a small egg (you can see from the start that this is not a "scientific" recipe with precise measurements), Add the following mixture: 4 egg yolks beaten well, 11 cups su- gar, 5 tablespoons cornstarch, juice and rind of 2 large lemons.

Below the walls, like a castle's moat, flowed the Fleet and the Wal - brook (now both covered in). The line of the wall had re- mained the same since Roman times. Much of it still rested on foundations which Roman sol- diers had laid. In the Roman manner it had round bastions every 250 feet. The wall was twenty-two feet high and at in- tervals along it there were tow- ers rising to forty feet. Its length — roughly two miles — was pierced by seven gates, all commemorated on the m.ap of modern London, Starting from the south-west corner, i.e., near Blackfriars, there were Ludgate, Newgate, Aldersgate, Cripple - gate, Moorgate, Bishopsgate and Aldgate. "Gate" means not only the gate itself, but also the con- siderable building which housed it. Newgate and Ludgate con- tained prisons, Other gates could be rented as dwelling houses. Chaucer lived in Aldgate for a time. The eighth gate of London has left no trace on modern maps. This was the gate which guarded the .southern end of London Bridge.. The bridge itself, with its nine- teen arches and a drawbridge, was already two hundred years old, A chapel and wooden dwell- ing houses had been built upon it (the rents of the houses helped to pay for repairing the bridge). In the water below, fish swam—, , Fish throve in the Thames wa- ter but Londoners liked some- thing clearer to drink. , , , There were springs and wells within the city, but a further supply was needed, This was found in the country west of the city. There were springs near where Selfridges now stands, Water from these was carried by lead pipes to a cistern in Cheapside— Chepe, as it was then called, "Chepe" or "cheap" meant a market, Our adjective "cheap" is the same word, Cheapside was the centre of London — a broad open space where buying and selling and snaking and mending went on. Nowadays there is a clear dif- ference between the stalls of a market, which disappear at the end of the day, and the perma- nent, glass -windowed shop; but Chepe contained all sorts of pre- mises from simple fish or vege- table stands to wood - framed merchants' houses three or four stories high, carved and brightly painted. —From "Chaucer's England," by Duncan Taylor, Winter In Britain Has Many Beauties In wooded country my own choice of the year's pageantry of beauty is that of winter, on those mild days when the wind comer from the blessed south-west. The warm Gulf Stream, which plays so great a part in our climate, Is then more evident in its benefi- cence than in summer, when the sun's greater power warms us independently. We frequently have ninny weeks in midwinter, here in Surrey, when the damp air enriches all the colours of the landscape. The tints of the lich- ens on tree and hedgerow, tile and wall, stand out in contrast to the pale sky or darkling bank of violet cloud. The beeches and the poplars, birches and willows in particular have a special ap- peal when their wet twigs are iit by the sun against a ram cloud. Looking into the haze of twigs, glistening in tones of brown, green, and purple, the wonderful contrast against the velvety cloud is a sight which lives with nye throughout the year. . Many a lovely view is obscured by a massed dome of leaves, and winter shadows slanting over the undulating meadows are far more interesting than their sum- mer ' counterparts, It is only when spring brings its tender green in dappled contrast or when autumn fires the rides, that winter's softer tones are eclipsed, But this book is about winter, and to winter with its icy winds, its frosts and snows, I will re- turn. In counties other than those which are wooded even milder weather may be a trial. Where mountains prevent the low winter sun from reaching the cold earth, or where the land is so flat that its only winter beau- ty, apart from the thin, low pat- tern of field and hedgerow, is the great arc of ever-changing sky, winter may well be wished away. It may be felt that autumn would join hands with spring were it not for the almost inevit- able spells of icy weather, and that to ourselves winter is only true winter when such condi- tions obtain. In other words, that late autumn is sometimes separ- ated from early spring only by a short week or two of weather which is so inimical to growth of all kinds that this book would thereby be considered a • mere joke, But I think it will be al- lowed that our winter may be given a period of four months, from the time when the poplars and limes shed their leaves in early November until the burst- ing of the hawthorn into tiny green leaves in March. Let this then be. our winter, the period which I will discuss in these pages. 1 am never far away from 'flowers or leaves, My year is wrapped up with them, and T want my winter to have as much. of their company as is possible. —From "Colour in the Winter Garden," written and illustrated by Graham Stuart Thomas.

Just step in, and zip! This may be a wonderful thing for city folks, who can take neat- ness in stride, but the dry clean - Ing of farm clothes and anatomy may be another matter. It takes a lot of noise to clean me up right after a typical day, and persuasion will have to be pret- ty good to get me out of my established pattern, For one thing, I don't believe ultrasonic waves will bore through a good Maine garb, par- ticularly if crusted with spruce pitch during the winter months. It'd be like an apple maggot try- ing to get into a cannon ball. Starting with long -handled un- derwear and a couple of sweat shirts, a real Maine farmer who is working his pulp lot would have on three or four woolen shirts, a mackinaw, and a pea - jacket, Of course he wouldn't work in all that. While he was up in the woods he'd be layered down to his underwear, and per- haps would have that open at the neck. A fellow working in the woods has little company, and there is no social need to keep the necktie in line or the cuffs neatly short.

In the first place it is better to tip:- roach the nettoyage, or launch r, by degrees. First you get to the kitchen rocker and sit d' 'vn and pant for twenty minu' .2s. '1'Ire dog, who has slept under your feet all day, comes and I i as his head under your arm to show his deep concern. This is touching. A decent dog subscribing to your fatigue is about as friendly as anything you get, You rub his ears, Then you take off your boots and three pairs of socks. Depending on who's around you gradually el- iminate the successive clothing, until you are down to basics, and then you lift yourself up by pulling on the table and corner cupboard, and you work toward the bawth. In the old days, and I know, It was kind of fun to do this in a big washtub in front of a red- hot kitchen range, but times have changed, and you lie back in tete tub with your nose up like a periscope, and gradually feel the art of living return to your fiber. It is the reverse of Soc- rates and the hemlock. Meantime the pile of clothes you shed is sorted according to its purposes, and some is hung on a hook and the rest is tossed into the elec• tric washer, As you lie back and absorb the liquid delight of a resuscitative bath, you can hear the washer begin to churn and a rich melody of laundry soap and spruce gum pervades the house. Supper must be attended so you shortly arise, rub yourself enchantingly with a good towel, and pull on some minor costume which will serve until bedtime. Thanks to the revival quality of a good soaking, you find the fried ham, turnips, squash, pota- toes, boiled onions, succotash, hot biscuits, and two kinds of pie seem to hit the spot, Somehow I cannot see this pattern of delight giving way to an ultrasonic whisking by a pat- ent contraption installed inside the door, I would not want to come up to the house in the full fatigue of a worn-out day and know that I was to be given a once-over lightly by a high -fre- quency tingle. I might come through the machine as pure as a new -opened Bermuda Illy, but I would not feel I had absorbed my, money's worth. I do not think the transistor will prove a country replacement for the cake of soap. I refuse to believe a high -frequency encounter with invisible noise would do for the pulp cutter what is now done for him by a tub. Summertime would have simi- lar problems, Cleaning out a poultry house has an aftereffect which I doubt if the laboratory desiroars of our future have adequately considered. Running a crop of hay into the barn, even with modern machinery, leaves you with a taste for something more than an ultrasonic dry cleaning.. When you've been on your knees all day in the hot sun, thinning beets, you would not look forward merely to a door over which physicists have writ, "Through this portal passes the cleanest man in town!"

Ben Jackson, holding the horticultural freak, found it while weeding his chicken yard. TIIEFMM FROM Jok1 Now that farmers across Can- ada have successfully harvested a p p r o x i mately 1,300,000,000 bushels of various grains from almost 50,000,000 acres, this country faces the even tougher task of profitably disposing of the surplus production on world markets. And, as usual, the greatest problem is faced with bread wheat, a major export grain that Canada's praire farmers specialize in producing by the hundreds of millions of bushels over and above this nation's an- nual requirements. The grain harvest this year ex- ceeded that of 1959 by about 100,000,000 bushels, most of the increase being in wheat and the bulk of the entire production being garnered in Alberta, Sas- katchewan and Manitoba, the prairie provinces that have be- come world-famous as "Can- ada's breadbasket." • • Even before the 1960 harvest began flowing from fields, Can- ada was burdened with a carry- over of more than 760,000,000 bushels of the major grains, in- cluding the equivalent of wheat and flour exports for two nor- • mal years. Now the stockpiles of all the principal grains are considerably larger, and they have grown at a time when Canada is experiencing increas- ing difficulties in trying to ex- pand its export markets. As a result of the bountiful harvest this year, most elevators across Canada are jammed with grain, Country elevators are so full across the prairie provinces that government -imposed mar- keting quotas on grain continue to be severely restricted, often permitting. farmers in many dis- tricts of the "breadbasket" to deliver no more than one or two bushels per acre from tiller 1960 crops. Thousands of these farmers recently harvested wheat yields averaging 40 or more bushels per acre, so most of the harvest Hurst remain on the farms, writes George A Yackulie in the Christian Sci- ence Monitor. • * Unable to market their grain in commercial channels, most farmers have their granaries filled to the rafters, not a few with grain harvested over the past several years. Increasing numbers of farmers are trying to develop their own markets for their surplus grain produc- tion by expanding livestock feeding operations. Generally speaking, the lion's share of Canada's annual pro- duction of oats and barley is used for fattening beef cattle, bacon hogs, and lambs, In recent years, however, ntere and more wheat also has been diverted for such purposes because it could not be sold within government marketing quotas, • * Using bread wheat for live stock fattening purposes aiso has often yielded better returns than possible from commercial clan nels, prairie farmers averaging around $1.20 per bushel for their best quality wheat when selling it for milling or export. The position in which Canada now finds itself following the better -than -average 1960 har- vest may be measured from the following summary for t h e country's principal grain crops: • * * Wheat — The 1960 harvest ISSUE 52 — 1960 yielded an officially estimated 490,532,000 bushels, compared with 413,520,000 bushels last year. As the new crop started coming from harvest fields, Can- ada had a carryover of 536,220,- 000 bushels of wheat from pre- vious years. Exports during the past grain year amounted to 272,100,000 bushels, compared with 288,900,- 000 bushels during the preced- ing year. The 1959-60 exports included 93,901,339 bushels of wheat to the United Kingdom, 46,836,430 bushels to Japan, 24- 876,058 bushels to West Ger- many, 10,882,302 bushels to Bel- gium, and smaller volumes to the Netherlands, Switzerland, South Africa, France, Poland, and India in that order of im- portance. • * • Oats — This year's harvest yielded an estimated 451,008,000 bushels, compared with 417,933,- 000 bushels from the 1959 crop. The carryover of old oats am- ounted to 92,526,000 bushels. During the past grain year Canada exported 5,600,000 bush- els of oats, including 2,226,502 bushels to West Germany, 1,249,- 963 bushels to the Netherlands, 1,103,771 bushels to the United States, and 594,613 bushels to the United Kingdom. Exports during the 1958-59 grain year totalled 7,000,000 bushels, + * * Marley — With the acreage in this crop reduced by more than 900,000 acres from 1959, the 1960 harvest produced 207,837,000 .bushels, compared with 225,550,- 000 bushels last year, The carry- over of old barley amounted to 120,103,000 bushels.

The carryover of old flaxseed was reduced to 4,736,000 bushels. Exports dropped from 14,300,- 000 bushels in 1958-59 to 12,- 500,000 bushels in 1959-60, those during the past grain year in- cluding 5,293,131 bushels to the United Kingdom, 2,682,331 bush- els to Japan, 1,518,406 bushels to the Netherlands, and 707,710 bushels to West Germany. Business Is Bad For Witch -Doctors In the Highlands of New Gui- nea, harmless -looking structures, known as "war gates" lie across many tracks, Only bold Hien go through these gates, which mark the frontier of one tribe from another. Even if accompanied by a mis- sionary, peace -loving natives are careful to skirt round a gate and rejoin the track behind it. If a man went through the gate, says the Rev, Peter Robin, a former Bethnal Green curate, he might be suspected of coming with hos- tile intent, or he might lay him- self open to sorcery. Warring tribes add to the haz- ards of missionary life in these primitive regions, Village sor- cerers try desperately to retain their grip over communities that for centuries have been ruled by magic and superstition, But with the arrival of missionaries they are losing "patients," Some missionary stations are very inaccessible, and goods, landed at the nearest airstrip, have still to be hauled 3,000 feet or more up mountainsides to the mission house.

As we were watching over our flocks that night, lo, the angel of the Lord came 'upon us, and the glory of the Lord shone round about us. We were fright- ened, But our fear soon gave way to joy. The angel said, "Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings et great joy, which shall be to al: people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger," Then, suddenly, the angel was joined by a great company of angels praising God, and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." Part of heaven had come to earth to give us this wonderful news. After a little the angels left. We were alone with our flocks on the hillside. We looked at one another. Of course, we be- lieved the message. We said, "Let us now go even unto Beth- lehem, and see this thing which is cone to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us." We hurried down the hills and into the stable at the Inn. There He was; just as the angel had said, "wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger." There was no other sign. There was no halo about His head, The sign of which the angel had told us was sufficient. After all, you don't usually find a newborn Babe lying in a manger. This Babe didn't look particularly different from any other Babe. But we knew that here ' was Messiah, our Saviour. The' angel of the Lord had told us and the sign was fulfilled. We told Mary, His Mother, and Joseph, His foster Father. In ,fact, when we went out, we told everyone who would hear us of the wonderful things we had heard and seen on that memorable night. We gave praise to God and have been praising Hini ever since. Our Saviour has come, Him to whole the law pointed, the Prophets spoke and the Psalmist sang, has come, and we were highly hon- oured to be among the first to see Him. We love the Lord Jests Christ, "To -morrow never comes," goes the saying. True, but the day after the night before does. , BOTTOMS UP — These two chimps do what comes naturally after tiring quickly of their chores in a furniture factory.

Canadian Teacher A Real Pioneer f41er_cry flind.s is a pioneet among 1111 women teacher wh have trailed the lights and coin forts of civilization for the colt and snow of life in the North. She went to her first northern post 12 years ago when Cana- dian government schools open- ed in the Northwest Territories. rel that time starting the first school at Fort McPherson in the Mackenzie district. In September Miss Hinds left Ottawa bound for her new post at Wakeham Bay, a tiny cont• munity on the shores of Hudson Strait where there has never before been a school, That she would be the only English- speaking person there worried her not at all because she speaks Eskimo as well as French, Ital- ian, and Swedish. Eskimo ac- cents, she says, differ, and Eski- mos often slur their words as do their fellow Canadians to the south, making it difficult to un- derstand them. Miss Hinds' affection for the North began many years ago when she was teaching in Eng- land and spent a summer vaca- tion in Lapland, She loved the country and made many friends There, returning the next sum• mer when she took part in the herding of reindeer calves at branding time. The people, of course, are like people the world over, and an Eskimo student is no different from a student in any other school. Some are good at their studies, others lazy, As in marry a rural school to the south, pu- pils must walk long distances. Last year at Arctic Bay there ss ere a couple of children who walked six miles a day to school across the frozen sea, writes Iiay Rex in the Christian Scienee Monitor. Christmas is her busiest time. Last year at Arctic Bay she baked and iced 14 Christmas cakes and made a huge pot of stew for 50 children she invited to a Christmas party. In the North, the event of the season is the Christmas mail drop, when everyone comes out in the Arctic darkness to wait for the. Royal Canadian Air Force plane, The RCAF drops a tree at every settlement above the tree line, attaching a flashlight to each tree so it can be seen when it lands. A black cocker spaniel named Pingua — which is Eskimo and means plaything — has shared Miss Hinds' Arctic experiences s'.nce Port Harrison days, She says that Pingua is well accli- matized to Arctic life, even fra- ternizes with the huskies and has been known to dominate them.

YOUNG JACK'S APPEARANCE — John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr., whose parents are among the most famous in the world, makes his appearance before a camera for the first time. The healthy youngster is the second child of President-elect Kennedy and his wife, Jacqueline. son Bay from Churchill, She prefers travelling in this man- ner to a new community, rattier than by plane, partly because she counts on meeting people along the way who know tae area and can tell her something .bout it. Here she will stay for two years and here she will open a new school. As she has done before, she will begin by show -ti ing her movies of other Eskimo:. "They always like to see pic- tures of people like themselves " Fhe said. "Then I talk a little about other places and what school is like," At present, in various parts of the Arctic, other teachers are doing much the same thing in schools — some one -room and some larger — that have sprung up in remote corners of t a e North. For these women, and for the 103 male teachers employed in the North, the hours are long and the life rugged. Yet it has a certain attraction, evidenced by the fact that while a teacher shortage has existed for years throughout the southern part of Canada, the North has a wail- ing list, Consequently only those with the highest professional qualifications are chosen. He's The Oldest Angry Young Man The oldest angry young man in U.S. education, Robert May- rard Hutchins, 61, enjoys noth- ing better than uncoiling his cat - o' -nine wails and flaying Ameri- can manners and mores. He has lashed out at everything from fraternities to McCarthy- ism, from network television to big-time college football. His latest aversion; The steady slide, as he sees it toward intellectual inertia, To show a lecture audi- ence at Tufts University in Med- ,ford, Mass., just what he means the owl -eyed president of the Fund for the Republic ticked off some examples, Among them: The Group-Thinkometer, an electric device developed by i1.e lfarwald Co. in Evanston, am aghast," said Hutchins. "its system cf buttons placed before each participant permits group decisions without the embarrass- ment of discussion. You press a button, yes, no, or maybe. The machine tells the group what it thinks." The Dynamueator, a magnetic - tape -recorder unit now being manufactured by Chicago's fly- r-amucator Co.

"r\ life in which conscious inertia is our aim," said the former [Inkier city of Chicago chancellor. The only hope to jolt American awake, continued Hutchins, i • widespread adult education, "W. . must commit ourselves to the idea of continuing education throughout our lives," he con- cluded vigorously. "Education is not a misfortune endured in childhood, which you need not; indeed cannot, have again, Edu- cation is the continuous devel- opment of our higher powers. 11 is too good a thing to be left io children," -- From NEWS - WEEK.

Clarke This is Christmas , , , the hap- py time . , . the time to send your greetings once again. When most of the work is done; decorations in place; par- cels wrapped; Christmas cards away; then comes the time to snatch a few minutes of quiet- ness — if we can — and reflect upon the reason for it all, We have to assure ourselves there is a reason back of the commer- cialism, behind all the getting and giving, the redundant sing- ing of carols and various types of celebrations. If we pause for a moment we shall realize that it all stems from an instinctive need for expressing thanks that goes back nearly two thousand years; to the time when the Wise Men heard of the birth of Christ. And you know what happened then. Because they were glad In their hearts (hey felt the need of outward expression as proof of inward rejoicing, So they gather- ed together what they considered choice gifts to present to (he in- fant Jesus, And in that way the giving of presents to t hose we love has become symbolic of our regard for them. It is a lovely custom — when kept within bounds. Too often it isn't, Too often we forget that love can- not be measured in dollars and cents; by extravagant gifts or by garish greetings. By contrast a gift prompted by love alone is often simplicity itself. Or it may be just a card, or a letter to someone whom we want to re- mcmbcr — and whom tvc want to let know that he or she is re- membered, i ;t rc I,ptt•, don't you think it has keen worthwhile taking these few minutes of quietness to remember the origin of Christ- mas; to remind ourselves that it has a very definite meaning for us; that in this age of conflict- ing "isms" and "clogies" the Christmas message of love, hope and rood fellowship still en- dures, Into this short period of quiet• Bess and peace may I send along my own message to you, the read- ers of this column, The letters I have received from you from time to time make me feel very close to some of you, To the dear old lady who was so glad to have help in threading her needles; to the many who have asked advice about the use of a hearing aid: ancl to clhe•s tvho has Id:<s urgent matters in tvhich they needed a little friendly act- vice. '1'o all of you, and to every reader of this column Partner and i send our very best wishes for a Happy Christmas and a New Year that will brine you increased happiness, good health and prosperity, We know you one and all deserve it. Wouldn't it be wonderful if some form of electronics were possible so that by giving a sig- nal we could visit each other in our homes by sight and sound? Just imagine if young married couples could flip a switch and see parents and grandparents, maybe many miles away, quiet - 1 y and happily celebrating Christmas in their own homes. And wouldn't it be marvellous ISSUE 52 -- it Grandma and Grandpa could watch their grandchildren on Christmas Day, playing with new found treasures; eyes bulg- ing with surprise and delight as wrappings torn from parcels re- veal yet another reason for squeals of joy and laughter. May- be it is Grandma's first peak at the new baby ... and she stealthily wipes a tear from her eye because the baby looks so much like John did at his age, Why that should bring a tear to her eye she would be hard put to explain. Yes, there would be many ad- ditional joys to the Christmas season if we could see and hear those we love at a time when it is impossible to visit them in the flesh, But it would have its shortcomings too. There are times when I would hate to have friends tuning in on my home activities! hiowever none of that is possible except in our imagina- tion. Closed doors are still suf- ficient to protect us from the eyes of the world. Just imagine, if, by a pre -arranged signal, friends could visit us by tele- vision, or some such medium, we should then have to run around with a floor mop and duster just as we now do when we get word that unexpected guests are com- ing to call! But, since we cannot see or hear our friends by elec- tronic means that snakes it more than ever necessary that we re- member them by a small gift, a card, or better still, a letter. And since this column is my only means of reaching most of you let me once more repeat that age-old message, that has lost nothing in its passage through time — A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A BRIGHT AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR, 'Bye everybody — have fun. I'll see you again in '61, HEART 1VA5 IN THE IIIGII'1' I'i,ACE Ronnie Smith, aged tet, of Jackson, Mo., owes his survival to the fact that his heart is in the "right" place.

Thus the dialogue between In- grid Bergman and Yves Mon - tend, on a brightly lit, set at the .Boulogne studios outside Paris scantly, In Miss Bergman's first snovie in two years, she plays a 40 -year-old woman who sud- denly finds herself losing her :lover in the film version of Franroisc Sagan's novel "Aimez- vous Brahms," No matter what the script or Miss Bergman herself said, it was clear that time, far from catching up on the great ac- tress, had not even been gaining. Now 43 ("I'll probably have to start hiding my age — it's too late already, I'm afraid,") and thinner ("I've had to add des- serts to keep my skirt on,"), Miss Bergman was as lovely as ever — and still the center of fascinated attention from her co-workers, even when she was not in front of the cameras. On the sidelines as a specta- tor, Yui Brynner, carrying sev- eral cameras and pursuing his hobby of still photography, watched the Bergman-Montand love scene admiringly, "She is always so beautiful," he said, "She claims she has a couple of bad angles and kids herself about them, but those angles are hard to find. She is fabulous to photograph," When the scene was finished, co-star Montand strolled over. "Ihave' never found an actress who disappointed me yet, but Bergman has that extra quality A internal wealth," he said, still watching her , across the set. "She tries to achieve absolute truth in her acting. She has a terrific sense of her profession, but professional skill alone is cold. Hers disappears, and what you see is fresh and easy. That's very difficult." A. few minute later, attacking * lunch of raw vegetable salad, hamburger steak, apple pie, and coffee, Miss Bergman was ask- ed about her film. "The screen- play sticks very close to the hovel, and you know how good (Eagan is at describing what's go- ing on inside a woman," she paid, with enthusiasm. "She's 1eln around the set a few times and seems llappy with who( wg *re doing. 1 would have liked ,to ask her to help, me by telling Iffie how she visualizes the part, fut she is so inarticulate. As or Montand and Perkins (20- tar -old Tony Perkins is an - herr co-star, who plays Mon- nd's young French rival), they create a wonderful contrast. ]l{ o n t a n d instinctively feels everything. He is warm and sen- altive. Perkins is just the oppo- alte type of actor." For all her enthusiasm, how- ever, Miss Bergman confessed. *hat her secret ambition was to elo a really light comedy, "I would love to make people laugh," she. said, "but they al- ways think of me as a serious actress. I just don't seem to be able' to clo the bubbly type of 11, FILTERED SMOKING — Smoke is blown through a piece of pipe made of porous stainless steel, which Is a new idea in filters.

In 'The Bells of St. Mary's,' for example, I was a pretty gay and lovely person, but I had to have tuberculosis." Miss Bergman was a s k e fl. about her long layoff since 1958's "The Inn of the Sixth Happiness." "For one year I had too many other things to do," she explained vaguely. "Then for the next year I didr't find any part for me to work in, I have my own drastic .con- ditions, too. I don't want to work in the summer because I like to be on our small island in Swc- den, with no mail or telephone service. "I was an eager beaver ten years ago," she went on. "Now 1 only want to do those things that are easy and not too long, 1 refuse to work just for money. I don't want my children to ask me, 'How couldou d,p such art awful thing?' when they see one of my films. "I just love this part because it's all drawing -room stuff," she concluded. "I like to do these parts where you don't have to be on a horse or clutch at mountain side for dear life. In 'The Inn of the Sixth Happi- ness' we had all this wonderful pathos and big, big exteriors and everything was so lavish. And look what happened; The tune became famous. At a recent benefit show I became absolute- ly furious. They gave me a sort of tree which had 27 different recordings of that tune."—From t'EWSWEEK.

Walked Around The World Backward The amazing feats of Dr. Barbara Moore, who conquered Britain, America and Australia, on foot, and those of eighteen - year -old Wendy Lewis, who won $3,000 by walking from John 0' Groats to Land's End, have had one very successful outcome, All the publicity about their foot- slogging has helped people in this jet-propelled, supersonic age to rediscover walking -- man- kind's oldest transport system, But when 1t comes to walking, no. one has equalled the achieve- ment of Plennie Wingo. This little man from Abilene, Texas, with a name like a rock 'n' roll singer and enough optimism to be a rock 'n' roll singer's mana- ger, did it the hard way. He set out to walk backwards round the world, twenty-five years before Spike Milligan even - thought of doing it .for Christ- mas. Wingo ran a small restaurant in Abilene but he was forced out of business in 1931 because of the slump. Completely broke, he went to Fort Worth In search of a job, but work as hard to find. When he had all but abandon- ed hope he met some cattlemen who were looking for a man to publicize their annual rodeo. It entailed walking through the town with sandwich boards. Wingo took the job, but found he wasn't attracting much atten- tion. So he decided to try walk- ing backwards. That did the trick. The public flocked to the show. ' Alter the rcdco was over Wingo went to collect his fee and found all the cattlemen talk- ing delightedly about his publi- city stunt, "How far could a guy walk backwards?" they asked him. "Well, provided you didn't ex- pect me to swim backwards across the water, l reckon 1 could go round the world," Wingo answered. He said it hall -jokingly; but the cattlemen took him seriously and offered him $1,000 to make a backward circuit of the globe. A week later, with a few es- sential possessions, a pair of tough boots, and dark glasses with hinged mirrors attached so that he could see where he was going as well as where he'd been, Plennie Wingo set off from Fort Worth. Through Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and on through to Boston trudged Plennie, put- ting his hest foot backward to telling effect, 'At first he made slow progress, finding his quaint method of locomotion awkward and weary- ing over long periods, But grad- ually he became accustomed to 11 and his daily mileage increas- vcl. After two weeks his leg mus- cles became accustomed to back- ward walking and he found it no more tiring than the usual method, In fact, quite the re- verse -- so to speak. Each day. he put more and more miles In front of him un- til between Providence, Rhode Island, and Boston Mass., he set up a personal record. He cover- ed the forty-five miles in just twelve hours. On his back Wingo wore a sign telling of his attempt to walk backwards around the world. He had it painted in more than a dozen languages before his marathon walk was conclud- ed. In each town he came to, Wingo called at theatres and cinemas offering to publicize their shows in return for a small fee. In this way, and through the gifts of enthusiastic onlook- ers, he matte just enough money 10 pay his way. He became remarkably adept at reading mirror -Image writ- ing and at backing to his right when the road turned left. Practically everywhere he went he got a cheerful and amused reception, but occasionally he caused tremendous consterna- tion, writes Michael Hennessey in "Tit -Bits," In a New York village one agitated citizen rang the fire alarm when he saw Wingo ap- proaching; elsewhere other per- plexed people sent for the po- lice, the local sheriff or the asy- lum authorities. InChicago the police were called out eleven times as Wingo made his slow progress through the busy city. In the end they gave him an escort "to let people see that I was properly guarded and not dangerous." He was rarely short of com- pany; when there were no people there were dogs and cats. One dog followed him for more than a hundred miles. When he could afford it, he slept at hotels; frequently, how- ever, he was obliged to sleep under the stars. He carried a blanket, a water canteen and a. little food, but always made a point of sending his changes of ejothing and personal effects on ahead of him. From Boston, Wingo sailed for Europe, working his passage as a steward's helper. He didn't keep up his backward walking on board — that was not in his contract — but he often demon- strated his technique for the amusement of passengers. Landing in France, he began his backward way across Europe. In Hamburg, where, as usual, news of his attempt had gone ahead of him; he caused a sensa- tion, Huge crowds gathered; reporters, photgoraphers and newsreel cameramen besieged him; he was given an impressive welcome and made guest of hon- our at any number of hotels and restaurants, hIaving shown Germany a clean pair of toes, Wingo moved on across Europe until he reach- ed Turkey — and his first real encounter with trouble. As he walked backwards in Constantinople, one morning, with a crowd of wildly cheering, front -slapping, peasants following him, he saw in his mirrors a large policeman barring the way. ','his was the first hold-up in more than 10,000 miles of rear- ward travel, Wingo decided to put on a bold back and produced his pass- port, credentials and o the r papers. But the policeman was not impressed. He arrested the little Texan and took him off to the local jail, Thrown into a cell, Wingo pro- tested loudly enough to be heard by a man who could speak a little English, He got a message• to the American consul and after two clays Wingo was released. Instead of trying to carry on through 'Turkey, Wingo made up his mind to heel the line and back pedal out of the Balkans. Ile backed across Europe, this time through Greece, Italy and Spain, then sailed for New York. Here he decided to complete his traversing of America. He got a lift to Los Angeles by car then he set out to walk back- wards to Abilene. It was in this part of the journey that he en- countered the hardest going of all — the 198 dusty, thirsty miles of desert between Yuma and Phoenix. it took him eight days. Finally he reached Fort Worth and collected his reward, nearly two years after he had begun his marathon walk. In that time he had never had an illness or injury; but his boots had proved less hardy, He wore out twenty- two pairs in his 23,000 -mile trip. DRIVE CAREFULLY — The life you save may be your own.
