25th Anniversary
Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Beutten-
..miller were guests of .honor re•
Gently when -a surprise party
was held by their friegds and
relatives at the Community
Centre, to mark the twenty-
fifth anniversary of their mar-
riage, November 25, 1939.
Music for dancing was ar-
ranged by Brad Smith.
Mr. and Mrs. William Klepp,
the parents of Mrs. Beuttenmil-
ler, who celebrated their 5f}th
wedding anniversary on the
same day, were unable to at-
tend.
Guests were present from Sea -
forth, Stratford and surround-
ing district.
Mr.. and Mrs. Beuttenmiller
were presented with a chime
wall clock by their son, Bob
Beuttenmiller, on behalf of the
gathering, while an address
was read by Mrs. R. J. Boussey.
Dear Ruth and Gordon: At
the Luther League, . 5bme years

laugh all her own, a feeling be-
tween them already had grown.
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 Variety
Round the World
SPAIN
In Spanish 'and Mexican
homes, there are no evergreen
trees at Christmastime,
Instead, Christmas is rung in
with a purely Latin beat—part-
ly because the people feel that
the evergreen was too closely
associated with pagan worship,
among the ancients, and partly
because the evergreen is un-
familiar in Latin countries.
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-'

dition, the Magi are said to
travel each year to Bethlehem
rand on Epiphany night, the
young, ones are laden with gifts
as they go- to the gates of the
city to meet the King of Kings!
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!"
