Christmas cards
As I look over the boxes of Christmas
cards in the stores, my tongue begins to
wither at the thought of licking all those
stamps and envelopes. Nevertheless greet-
ing cards play an important role in this
festive season for most people, and it's
hard to imagine a time when there were no
• Christmas cards.
In the eight eenth century, students did
hristmas Pieces" - samples of -writing
on quality paper to show their parents how
they had progressed • By 1820, children
added colour and decorations to the
Norders. This as the forerunner of the
gri•iii Victorian Christmas Card craze that
hegan in England in 1841
Th e first Christmas card was designed
iss John Calcott Horsley. a member of the
• Royal Academy. for Sir Henry Cole. The

a featured three pictures - two depicting
hantable acts of feeding the hungry and
.-othing the naked. the third showed a
himils parts of three generation drinking
wine. (The temperance groups complained
but to no avail.)
In 1/444, Mr C.T. Dobson created a
•Jtrt,.h that depicted the Spirit of Christ.

shaped, oval, circular and diamond-
shaped. Some were embossed or jewelled;
others, were folding or ii ideseent. Even
materials varied from satin. silk and plush
to brocade. Lace and embroidery trim
added the final touch.
Summer landscapes and seascapes were
as acceptable as winter scenes. Floral
decorations were as popular as religious
and Father Christmas themes. The robin
was identified as quickly with Christmas as
thc holly.
Because of the variety of size. poets
allowed their creativity to flow freely • the
bnger the verse. the larger the card. Some
cards even carried the words to carols.
Cards .were not always sent in the
traditional spirit of Christmas. Some
humorous, verses had nothing to do witti
the season: others were downright insult-
ing. Some folks ch,\imed important people.
or people who thouelt they were impor-
tant. sent large car ds to make the
recipients feel small.
In spite of debate, the industry flour -
shell. The simple cards of the 1840's,
which were often Valentine cards with
"Merry Christmas" embossed on them,
became lavish pmductions within forty.
years. Now they are a world% ide traditton.
Many interesting books, such as The
Victorian Christmas Book by Antony and
Peter Miall, trace the history of cards and
other customs. Reading them is fascinatingi
but it doesn't get my stamps and envelopes.

Mr. Dempsey said in an
interview later, the operation
of the county's road program
will not change because of
the county's designation
under the act, He said he will
still look at the•quality of the
material in a 'pit, its
proximity to the project and
decide whether to apply for a
wayside permit or use a
licensed pit. The only
differencelhe said, will be if
he chooses an unlicensed pit
he will have to apply for the
--permit.
Mr. Dempsey suggested to •
council that if a farmer can
fOresee that his pit will be
opened several times in the
next few years, he would be
advised, to license the pit
because each time a wayside
•.•
permit is granted, the pit
must be opened, re=
habilitated and closed,
The . act also means
farmers cannot purchase
gravel from a pit across the
road which has been opened
with a wayside permit, while
the' township or county
completes road work in the
area. Tile farmer would have
to purchase his gravel from •
the nearestlicenced pit even
if it was several miles awiy.
Mr. Dempsey admitted
that the government cannot
begin to monitor every small
pit which faces the back of a
farm. "They'll never be able
to count the loads of -gravel'
going across the road to, the
neighbour's." he said.

Bill Elston who has
opposed the designation
from • ' the beginning,
commented that a farmer,
opening a. new pit will
encounter several costs: the
pit must •be licensed,
surveyed and fenced. In
addition he has to pay the
security for pit rehabilitation
and the surcharge for road
rehabilitation.
"Little operators will' be
driven out of business
because • their operations
won't warrant the' cost of
licensing and many farmers"
he said, "haul from two or
