Recently a resident of Maitland Manor in Goderich, Frank farmed north east of Londesborough for many years and served on the Hullet Township Council for a time. Keep Frank's wife, Phyllis, and his family and friends in your thoughts and prayers. November has flown by and the days until Christmas will too, filled with prepara- tions, shopping, decorating, get togethers, etc. Getting out all those time worn but too precious to discard deco- rations is a tradition. Each year a book that was a child- hood gift to my husband is part of the Christmas book display. It is a 'pop-up' book of the story of "Rudolph': The story of the writing of this familiar tale has come to me through many hands. A newspaper in Alberta printed the story in 2014 which Janice Vodden passed on to Helen Lee who passed it on to me, and now I want to share it with you. The newspaper article included a picture of the very same book we have. "Rudolph, the Red -Nosed Reindeer" was written by Bob May as a Christmas gift to his 4 year-old daughter, Barbara. Bob's wife, Evelyn, was dying of cancer, and there would be no money for gifts that year in 1938. The family lived in a poor area of Chicago, and yet Bob wanted to give his daughter hope for a brighter future. As a child Bob had been bullied and called names. He drew on those experiences to create an autobiography in fable form, about a little reindeer with a shiny nose. Now Bob was a copy -writer at Montgomery Ward at the time. The general manager of Montgomery Ward learned of the storybook and purchased from Bob the rights to print it. They gave the book to chil- dren visiting Santa Claus in their stores. By 1946, Wards had printed and distributed six million copies of "Rudolph" When a major publisher wanted to purchase the rights from Wards and print an updated version, Wards' chief executive returned all rights to Bob. And the book continues to be a best seller. Thanks to that act of kind- ness and the toy and market- ing deals which followed, Bob became a wealthy man Bob's brother, Johnny, made a song adaptation which was recorded by Gene Autry, the singing cowboy. That song has sold more Christmas records than any other with the exception of "White Christmas'. Bob and Rudolph learned that being different can be a blessing.

They watched and talked about Mary and Joseph, the angels, the shepherds and the wise men and the roles they played in the reason we cele- brate Christmas. All children of the Sunday School had a part in the action, and they joined to sing "New Star' Mary and Joseph were brother and sister, Elianne and Dylan Kreuger. Jake Yantzi was the angel, Gabriel. The new star learned that the baby's name, Jesus, means, 'The Lord saves: The old star admitted that he knew so much about that time because he was the 'New Star' that appeared in the sky to announce the birth. It was an interesting and entertaining presentation.
