Ruth played tennis down at the court. which was very near to Gord's home port; she batted the balls with the greatest of ease, for it was Gordon she wanted to please. Gordon took Ruth to the Casino to dance, and to the sweet music they moved in a trance; as they gaz- ed at each other, they fell in love; and- sw-ore to' he true by the stars above. In Zion Lutheran Church in thirty-nine, Gordon said: "Ruth, will you be mine?" Wedding bells chimed on this their day, together they promised they al- ways would stay. Married bliss was theirs from night till morn, then one June day their first son was born; the Navy called, and Gordon did go to Deep Brook, Nova Scotia, to join the show. After the war, the three were united, a new life together— they were delighted! A happier threesome you never did see, till little Gordie arrived, to join the family tree. From the CN in Stratford to Seaforth they came, their new wholesale business soon climbed to fame; they bowl, they curl and they square dance with glee; their friends are as numerous as leaves on a tree. So your fam- ily and friends have gathered here to join with you in the best of cheer, your silver wed- ding to celebrate, and wish you all that you do rate. May your life's many, blessings be untold, as your silver anniversary turns to gold; will you please accept from us this gift, ani`/ we'll be back for your fiftieth. — Your Family and Friends.

Christmas decorations i n Spain and Mexico emphasize the Nativity. Scene in Bethle- hem the scene of the birth of Jesus Christ. There are shadowy caves with papier-mache rocks, lambs graz- ing on green cardboard fields, and the figures of Mary and the Christ -Child bathed in a halo of celestial light. In' Spain, the land of flamenca —the laughing music — there are waddling fat turkeys, quack- ing ducks, and cooing pigeons arrayed at the market -place. Stalls are piled high with . or- anges, melons, bunches of beau- tiful cut flowers, and handmade toys for the children—including dancing dolls of great beauty. The music is everywhere—a strum of. soft guitars, and a stampede of sloe-eyed children, who run in wonder from one booth to the next. Just before "Nocha Buena" —the Midnight Mass—the little ones dress in costume and re- enact an age-old Christmas tra- dition of dapcing around the Nativity Scene to the jingled beat of tambourine's. According to old Spanish tra-' Every week more people dis- cover what mighty jobs are accomplished by low cost Ex- positor Want Ads.

IRELAND In Ireland, from Skibbereen at the very south, north to Malin Head, from Balbriggan_ on the Irish Sea, to Hag's Mead on the Atlantic—ah, 'tis Christmas and a grand thing to behold! On. Christmas Eve in Ireland, candles are lighted and placed in windows of each home, and the- door is lett ajar. The candlestight and open door is how the Irish show a Christmas welcome — assuring that no man and wife, seeking shelter for the Babe who is the Son of God, will find that there is "no room at the inn!" On the day after Christmas— December 26, the Feast of St. Stephen—Irish children re-enact the legend that St. Stephen, in hiding behind at furze . bush, was betrayed to his enemies by a wren. They catch and cage a wren, and set it on top of a furze bush, while they go from door to door collecting money for charity—a little of which will be used to buy food for the tiny, innocent wren, accused by legend of once having betrayed good St. Stephen. To the ,Irish, Christmas is primarily a religious' holiday -- a holy day—on which they ob- serve, in their homes and in the churches, the anniversary of the birth of the Christ -Child. An observance, with lighted candles in the windows, and open doors, that says better than words ever could:' "An Irish welcome to you, and a merry Christmas to all!" 1 Z717, WIMTO OH NEWS OF THE WEEK mne crew ee ca�,n ene��n.
