Dreaming .of Christmas
The young and ever so innocent kindergar-
ten and grade one and two children brings
many, a tear of joy and laughter to moms and
dads through their enjoyable performances.
Each grade displays their finest attributes
and bring the spirit of Christmas to light
through the smiles and voices of children.
The traditional carols and popular Christmas
selections are always enjoyed year after year.
1 do hope everyone has completed their
long shopping list as time is quickly running
out.) Mother Nature has done absolutely
nothing to create that needed atmosphere
which many require to go shopping. How, can
one buy a pair of ski's or sleigh or snowmobile
when it is 14 degrees outdoors.
Christmas isjust a few days away and 1 do
hope my dreams come true as in the words of
the song by the late Bing Crosby, "I'm
dreaming of a White Christmas". (but not
quite as much as last year).
As this will be the last issue before
Christmas 1 would like to take this opportun-
ity to wish all those who read my column a
Merry Christmas and all the best of wishes
over the festive season.
STUDENTS ENTERTAINED
Students from St. James, Seaforth, St.
Columban and St. Patrick's Dublin were
entertained by Gerry and Kim Brodey, who
sang and played various instruments as part
of the cultural ptogramnie in the schools' on
Monday,
Their songs represented many different
countries and styles of music heard through-
out the world. Gerry, before becoming a
professional singer was a teacher who worked
with children requiring special facilities and
training. He found that through song and
short verse he could communicate with his
students more freely.
He has travelled extensively to such places
as India, Africa. and the Middle East. Kim

That long awaited. day is almost here.
Young and old eagerly anticipate the many
enjoyable events which take place each day as
Christmas draws near.
The trek to the bush for a special Christmas
tree is an annual event. If you don't have a
bush, one goes to the local tree salesman and
pick out that special tree for your home. But
for those who prefer an imitation tree, they
too must be unpacked and assembled and
made ready for the most . fun of all,
decorating.
The children delight in the stringing of
lights, placing bobbles, ornaments,'bows and
beads and one cannot forget the icicles and
candy canes. The stockings are all hung on
the mantle again just waiting for Santa to fill
them to the brim.
The mistletoe has been carefully set aside
until Christmas Eve when mommy will be
sure to hang it in just the right place to catch
Santa's eye as the favorite old song tells us,
"I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus under-
neath the mistletoe last night". I think I'll put
ours in front of the refrigerator. That's where
you find the most traffic in our house,
The Christmas cribs are set up in many
homes which helps young children under-
stand the significance of each of the
characters within as told in the scriptures.
When the Baby Jesus is placed in the stable
on Christmas Eve, the period of waiting and
expectation is finally fulfilled and youngster§
can now see this blessed event come to pass
with greater understanding. •
Another marvellous happening in many
schools this week are the Christmas concerts
where our young budding actors, actresses,
musicians, singers and comedians become
stars for the moment.
Adjust to winter conditions
Winter weather gets the blame for a lot of
accidents. But, according to the Ontario
Safety League, the real culprit in most cases
is the driver 'who fails to adjust to cold
weather problems.
Here are some of the causes .of winter
wrecks and the defensive driving measures
used to avoid them.
"Too fast for conditions" is all too
frequently listed as an accident factor. When
the road is slippery you can't stop as quickly
of as safely. Lower your speed when the road
surface is hazardous. The Ontario Safety
League states that you should stretch your
following distance to even double or triple the
usual road interval.
Abrupt turns, lane changing and sudden
acceleration or deceleration can cause bad
skids on ice and snow, Anticipate turns or
speed changes and make them slowly and
gradually.
Limited visibility is a major problem. A
driver who scrapes only a little peephole in

Clear your windshield completely of ice and
snow and keep it that way. Also, scrape
outside mirrors clear. Be sure your defroster
is in good shape.
Poor traction has caused many a crackup.
Check tread wear on your snow tires and keep
them inflated correctly. Tire inflation should
be checked more frequently during winter
months to be sure pressures are at
recommended levels. Cold weather reduces
tire pressure approximately one pound every
5 degree celsius drop in temperature.
