Forrester Ladies' .League Last week the Clampett's, who are leading the league, were given a closer run for their money when the Drysdale's lost the third game by only two points. The slump that most players have been in for the last few weeks seems to have gone and the bowlers are again their usual selves. Standings for the evening were: high single, Beth Pryce, 199; high triple, Ilene Thomp- son, 481; points: Clampett's, 49; Drysale's, 14. If your guests asked you for a bowl of Punch, would you know how to make this Christ- mas drink which was so popu- lar in the "good old days?" The name "punch" is said to be derived from the Hindustani word "five" and may have been given to the drink because of its five stable ingredients - spirit, lemon, water, sugar and spice. December 25 was a feast day in the calendar of the Romans long before the birth of Christ. In parts of Norway, country folk place sheaves of unthresh- ed wheat outside their doors on Christmas morning so that the birds shall not go hungry - one of the loveliest of all Yule• tide customs. The ceremony of the Yule log is fast fading from Canada's Christmas festivities, but in Yugoslavia it is still a vital part of the family festival. The tree must be felled before sun- rise on December 24, by the head of the house, who must hew it with three strokes of his axe, and the tree must fall to the east. Weather forecasts were un- known in days gone by, but perhaps the weather lore of those times proved far more successful than our own fore- casts. `Here are a few of those old-time weather sayings: "A moonlit Christmas means a heavy sheaf." "Sunshine on Christmas Day means a heavy sheaf." "Sunshine on Christmas Day means a good crop of apples." "A windy Christmas is a sign of a good year." "If Christmas Day on a Mon- day be, a great winter that year you'll. see." "The nearer the new moon to Christmas Day, the harder the winter weather to come," Stenographer WANTED Duties to commence early in January. Knowledge of shorthand preferred. JOHN BOSHART & SONS LTD.

OPEN EVENINGS: Fri - Sat. - Mon. 'Tues. I, 20 - 21 - 23 - 24 F, • : The Fox That Spoke at Christmas (By PETE McGILLEN) Christmas Eve. Snow was falling as gently, as feathers. The author -turned -trapper h a d one more set to check before he headed for his partner's cozy cabin. As he brushed through the spruce and alders, he spotted something in the trap. It was a red fox. The pelt had little value. He was about to finish the animal with a bullet from his rifle, when he noticed it was caught by one front paw. The fox was so weak-, it scarce ly noticed him. He took off a snowshoe, held the animal down by kneeling on the edge of- the shoe, and opened the trap. The fox opened his eyes, but didn't move, and the trapper muttered, "You poor old gaffer, you've just about had it." Why .-he showed this compassion, he'll never know, but maybe it was the spirit of Christmas. As he slipped his foot back into the shoe harness, the fox started to talk. It must have been the fox, there wasn't any- one else within miles. "Thanks for sparing me, but save your sympathy for your own kind." Once Before The trapper was bewildered and frightened, and was about to speak, but the fox interrupt- ed, "Don't talk, I haven't long to live and I'd like to return the favor by helping you. Don't be too surprised that I talk be- cause after all dumb animals knelt in mute worship on an- other Christmas almost 2,000 years ago, and I believe some of them talked. • "I'm not afraid to die, I've done what '1 was put on this world to do. I am a link in a food chain, and as such ;I am a Servant of mai,. I have but one c1 air : a4_ thatis_to_survive as. "Like all animals, I live by instinct. I do no wrong. I nev- er offend my Creator, because all my actions are governed by instinct. I am not like man, because I wasn't born with a free will or the burden of a conscience or an immortal soul, or with an intellect slightly less than the angels. Unlike man, I've lived a perfect life. "But what of you? What will you have to offer your Maker when it's time for you to go?" The trapper stood like a man in a trance, too frightened to be angry. In Balance The fox started'to talk again. "In nature everything is in bal- ance. When that balance, gets out of kilter, and man usually is to blame, we have plagues, disease, poor crops, starvation. Man is not only out of tune with God, but he's out of tune with Nature. "Man knows that the fruit of redemption are available to all men down through the ages to the end of time. He also knows that he was given the ten com- mandments to live by, a stan- dard of morality, and will power to resist temptation. "But what has man done? He has abused his free will. He's so mixed 'up he has no true sense of values. Many say the ten commandments are put of date. They have no reasonable application to modern-day life. Some of you have degraded your intellect to the point where you're lower than I am. You have. fabricated your own gods of sex, .power and money. You believe now that these are all that matter and you die. You have adopted the philoso- phy of the pagan, 'Eat, drink and make merry, for tomorrow you die,' `'fou. Marto&,aif with,. a Christmas.' It showed a bit to- night when you spared me. But' you've discarded it for hate - domestic, national and interna- tional. Only a Means "You fail to realize that money, fame and social pres tige are important only as a means to a virtuous life. You abuse and exaggerate them. "No longer have you a fixed set of principles. Rather do you adjust them to meet coniti- tions and situations as they arise. That's what was meant in the Biblical saying, 'A reed shaken by the .wind,' "In your present state of mind, you have two choices: either you adopt the optimistic philosophy of life, with a dream, an ambition, that man can rise to the heights of God and be a substitute for Him, or else you become so pessimistic that you become a beast. "You lead an empty life with out virtue, and reach death with empty hands in despair and possibly by suicide. "The heart of the Christian should be revived by the Christ- mas story. It gives liim a true vision of things. For a short while he's the man he should be. He quiets his restlessness by realizing that he'll be rest- less until he rests in God. An Angry God "But I'm talking too long and getting very weak. So here's my return favor: This world is in a dangerous state of bal- ance with good just tipping the scales a bit. Today you have an angry God, you have seen •signs of his anger in recent tragedies. The only reason Ile hasn't destroyed , the world is because of the prayers, sacri- fices, acts of charity, acts of love,of;tite..thousat>,tiss,of..aliiet: the headlines. "You haven't much time left to make your contributions." Just then a skift of snow slip- ped off the spruce bough and plopped down on the trapper's cap. He brushed it away, re- moving his cap to do so. When he looked back at the fox, there was nothing -except a crimson stain darkening the virgin -white snow. 4 CORK NAIL CARDBOARD TACK
