Right in the fireplace, an area that has been a traditional part of Christ- mas for more years than Santa has worn a red suit. Before the turn of the century, Santa Claus or St. Nicholas, frequently wore blue robe, althoffgh Cle- ment Clarke Moore, in "A Visit from St. Nicholas,'! pictured him as "clad all in fur, from his head to his 'fobt.". But for centuries, the fireplace has been a treas- ured and often vital part of the home. The fireplace as it exists today—that is, tire firebox along the wall, with a chim- ney instead of an open fire in the Middle of the room —dates from about 1066. Built of Wood • Early fireplaces were built of wood or wicker, but they proved so danger- ous that in the year 1419 the City of London decreed that henceforth fireplaces be made of tiles, stone or plaster, under the penalty of being demolished.

The use of •such tiles for fireplaces soon spread to England, and then to. the COlonies. Skilled Dutch craftsmen decorated ceramic tiles with designs of oranges, grapes, tulips, vases of flowers, .shipS, sea rnqi.. stOrs, lauclseapes, horse- men and royil portrait. The English used simi- lar pictures and added estivity many charming scenes de- signed by renowned aro .tists, including Kate Green- away, famed for her Christ- mas card designs. $et. a Precedent These tiles were used both to line the fireplace and on mantels and other surfacings, setting a pre- cedent for modern fire- places. In America, the Pilgrims built crude stone fireplaces, then constrpcted. their log huts arbund them. Today, as in those (ear- lier years, ceramic tile re- mains a practical and dec! orative surfacing material for fireplaces, and the home owner has a far wid- er choice to work with than did early home build- ers. More than 250 different ceramic tile sizes, shapes .and textures are supplied by American marmf#tur.- era, says the Tile Council of America. Just as in the early days, special decoratives tiles give the fireplace a dis- tinctive touch of elegance to greet Santa when he ar- rives, via the traditional route. Huron TB. Astociatkon Presses Xmas Seal Sale Directors of the Huron Coun- ty Tuberculosis Association were told Wednesday night at a meet- ing at the Elm Haven Motor Hotel in Clinton that Huron and Perth Counties have the lowest incidence of tuberculo- sis in Ontario. Mrs. Beryl Dav- idson, Stratford, executive sec- retary :of the accociation saki that the current program in Huron includes a survey of the 23 nursing homes in the county, and a retirement and pre-em- ployment program. Last week 235 residents at Huronview; Clinton, the eounty's home for the aged, were k -rayed for TB and other chest conditions by the Beck Sanatorium, London. A survey of all food handlers In the county has just been completed. J. A. 'Taylor, Drumbo, presi- dent of the Oxford County Tu- berculosis Association, as guest speaker asked just how ef- ficient is. a mass x-ray. He said that there is always a segment of the population which does not respond (Huron's last mass x-ray survey, two years ago, saw 51. per cent. of the popula- tion comply). "We should be. asking ourselves if research is the answer to the TB problem. Just as the Salk vaccine . be- came the answer of the problem of polio", said Mr. Taylor. He was introduced by Dr. Harold Vokes, Dungannon, and thanked by Miss Eileen O'Brien, Gode- rich. George Watt, Blyth, presi- dent of the association reported that 772 x-rays were taken at t h e International Plowing Match, Seaforth, last month. He paid tribute to Mrs. Davidson for the project which the Minn Cheque Mix -Up, Brings Complaint ,E. Boswell, Seaforth, told a d ectors' meeting of the Hur- on ounty Tuberculosis Associa- tion in Clinton, Wednesday night that contributors to the Christmas Seal appeal of the association are reacting against a French language "goof" in the cheque form mailed with 'this year's seals. Mr. Boswell is treasurer of the Christmas Seal appeal this year in Huron. French words take•preminence over English on the cheque mailed out last week with the seals. Mrs. Beryl Davidson, of Stratford, executive secretary of both the Huron and the Perth associations, quoted Dav- id M. Rae, Stratford, provin- cial president as • stating that it was an operational goof over which the two counties had no. control. She said that Mr. Rae had also commented that in Perth County there has been a "tremendous backlash over it." Apparently the forms were printed in Ottawa to save mon- ey through bulk production for both Ontario and Quebec tom- munities. The error was, said Mrs. Davidson, that the French form was used for both coun- ties' requirement. Mr. Boswell •said that returns were coming in well, but that he has received a number of replies with blank cheques un- signed and accompanied by critical comments. Because of the possibility of a postal strike the county association felt that there wasn't time to do some- thing about the error. County TB Association sponsor- ed. He said that it was the first time that the service of a chest x-ray bas ever been provided at an International Plowing Match. Last year the county associa- tion donated $1,000 to the Inter- national Union Against Tuber culosis; to a special fund of the. Ontario TB Association to fin- ancially assist. needy tubercul- osis associations, and money for research for all chest condi. tions. Huron County's new director for the Huron County Health Unit, Dr. Gerard Evans, attend- ed the meeting. The audience was guestion. ing the lecturer who had just Spoken on big game hunting !in Africa. "Is it true," asked a woman, "that mild beasts in the jungle won't barm you if you carry a torch!" "That depends," the lectur- er said, "on how fast you car- ry it." , Classified ads pay dividends.
