Can Cut Toll Nearly 200 Canadians will die on Canada's streets and high- ways over the Christmas and New Year's holidays if east records follow 'true, aeeordiing to the All Canada Insurance Federation, The drinking driver, late par- ties, early darkness and adverse weather conditions all combine to build this annual toll, but careful driving and common sense could prev4nt almost all the deaths. The Federation offers these recommendations which will help make a happier holiday season for everyone: Do not drive after drinking; even one or twa drinks can ser- iously impair your driving ability, If you must travel after drink- ing, get a sober friend to drive you, or call a cab. When you give a party, pro- vide your guests with coffee or shinier beverages before they leave. Avoid long trips, especially when you have had too little sleep because of holiday festivi- ties. Try to plan your travels for the times when traffic is light. Drive a little slower and more carefully; you may be sober, but the other driver may not. Keep special watch for chil- dren who are out of school dur- ing the holiday season. Watch for pedestrians; they may not see cars if they are bundled up in winter clothing or carrying an armload of par- cels. When in doubt, yield the right-of-way to other drivers. 'It; is better to avoid an accident than to insist upon your right- of-way. SEAFORTH'S MAIN STREET is a fairyland of light during the Christmas season. RoW after row of colored lights provide a ceiling throughout the length of the street. Individual stores have provided special lighting effects, and in front of the Town Hall a 30 -foot Christ- mas tree is ablaze of light, as can be seen from this picture lgoking north and which was taken last year. Adding to the effect are gay figures suspended from lighted supports on each lamp post standard along the street. The Christmas decoration program was sponsored jointly by the Chamber of Commerce, Public Utility Commission and business firms. Organize Fish, Garne Club To Serve Seaforth Area An enthusiastic meeting was held in the Town Hall Thurs- day evening when a Fish and Game Club came into being.

A fair- ly large crowd attended to hear the, Duvelles play. They were an exceptionally good orchestra and everyone enjoyed them. Spate -dances were won, first by Army Stewart and Peter Row - at, and second by Bonnie Uhler and Bill MacLennan. Candid Camera Most of you have either heard or saw the show, "Candid Cam- era" on TV, where they take pictures of people in humor- ous and unusual situations. The Year Book committee have come up with this idea in get- ting pictures for the year book. A few students are going around with cameras, catching students off guard and getting a good picture; also there is no reason they cannot take pic- tures of the teachers. * a: Holidays You can be sure that every- one at school is thinking of Christmas and the long holiday. This year there are 15 days off, because both Christnnas and New Year's fall on a Wednes- day. Everyone has Lots plan- ned to do, and not studying, so when Friday rolls around ev- eryone will be ready to push the books aside and celebrate. Remember, exams start at the end of January! telVe ;w.,f� ;e` i {r E.• Oji w i wl� vy(: ;e- , ;r , OPPORTUNITY 20% OFF TOYS GAMES SKATES HOCKEY GLOVES SHIN PADS • HELMETS MOUTH GUARDS TRICYCLES and KIDDIE CARS SPECIAL!

Public School Poems Reflect Christmas As a feature of the Christ- mas season in Grade 6 of Se* forth Public Sehool, students contribute poems which they have written as a class project Several of the poems as selected by Ron Eyre, teacher of the class, are reproduced here: WHERE IS CHRISTMAS? (Beata Maikus) Where is Christmas? I sometimes wonder! When the choir sings anthems And the organ's a -thunder. Where is Christmas? I sometimes ask! Is the thence lost in items, Like turkeys and flasks? Where is Christmas? I sometimes say! Has the meaning been lost Since the first Christmas Day? Where is Christmas? I want to shout! in the bustle of shopping, After schoolis out. Where is Christmas? I ask on the streets! "Why, it's coming," people an- swer With a lilt to their feet. But the meaning is lost I say with. regret; Since the birth of Our Saviour, Who's saving us yet. CHRISTMAS TIME (Mary Anne McLean) Christmas candles all aglow, Holly green and mistletoe; Happy faces and spirits bright, Help ns to welcome that won- derful night. Sleigh bells and carols go through the air, The familiar tunes that are so fair; Shoppers 'hustling to and fro, Greeting friends we like to know. Puddings, cakes and mincemeat pie; Nuts and sugar plums bright to the eye; Cranberries, shortbread, and cookies by the score, Tucked inside the cupboard door. The postman with a heavy pack Brings the letters stack by stack; Gaily wrapped parcels with ribbons and bows', And a "Merry Christmas" which everyone knows. Christmas is over, but not for long, It soon comes back with a hap- py song; Christmastime with all its cheer, Will be back again in just a year! CHRISTMAS (Eleanor Boshart) Christmastime is almost here, It took so very long this year; There are so many things to do, And also Christmas shopping to. We also have toluy a tree, And decorate it too, you see. We put on candy canes and all, To fancy up our tree so tall. Aird then at last the night is here, With treats front good old San- te dear, Ile tills the ioolit With every toy, To bring to little children joy. In the morning and under the tree, All the toys the children see; And everyone has lots of fun— There's every toy from under the sun! And then with turkey roasted brown, We all to dinner do sit down; And then again we laugh and play, Loving good old Christmas Day. CHRISTMAS (Dianne Patterson) Christmas time is here once more, With holly hanging on the door; The Chriittuas spirit is in the air, The snowflakes fall without a care. The little elves in Santa Land Are always giving a helping hand, To help Dear Santa on his way, With lots of goodies in his sleigh. We sit about the Christmas tree Patiently waiting on bended knee; With stockings hanging above the 'fire, While singing bean:tifully was the choir. Above the door hangs a mistle- toe, And all the candles are aglow! We now are tucked into our beds, Wreaths of happiness encircle our heads. Then Christmas Day, with all its glory, Often tells the same old story; Then too soon it disappears, Not to return for another year. FUN AT CHRISTMAS (Cynthia Newnham) Christmastime is fun, you know, When you frolic in the snow; Everyone has lots of cheer When Christmastime is once more here. Signing cards and signing gifts Makes very tired, your hand and wrist; Putting fruit on fancy plates, And Christmas cake with lots of dates! Our Christmas tree is bright and gay With shiny tinsel that twirls in Play; Little balls, all colored bright, With pretty paper, red and white. Now hangs the mistletoe and holly, Which makes us all so gay and J0113' And all t'he kids get lots of toys From all the other girls and boy=. Now we have to waft a year For another Christmas to ap- pear; nd I hope the kids will trea- sure. Their gifts and toys with great- est pleasure.
