THE LIVELY OCCURRENCES ashore of a retired sea
captain are told weekly on the CBC radio series, Halifax
Theatre. The program is heard Monday afternoons on the
Trans -Canada network. The village yarner, Jimmy Come
Easy, right, reminisces with Captain Andy on some of the
light-hearted problems that befall him in retirement. Jim-
my. Came Easy is played by David Murray and Cap'n Andy
by Bill Fulton.
Doorway Decorating
Hints for This Christmas
The ring of the doorbell, and
the muffled tread of feet on the
porch is a happy sound, for at
Christmas is the time when we
especially welcome friends and
relatives. And what better way
to express hospitality than in
decorations for your front door?
The front entrance of your home
is the ocal point of attention and
should be the first part to be
decoraibed in any progressive
plan to decorate, by stages, the
exterior of your home.
The traditional, C hr i s t m a s
wreath hung on the front door
will always be in style, for it is
one of the most widely used
symbols of Christmas hospital-
ity. There are many new and
interesting ways to use wreaths
of various materials for your
front door, but one of the most
attractive is still the simple
wreath of evergreen boughs with
a bright Christmas red ribbon,
hung on the centerline of the
door, about three quarters of
the distance up. The whole ef-
fect can be enhanced greatly by
mounting an outdoor floodlight
where it can be trained on the
doorway to enhance its archi-
tectural lines.
If purchasing a floodlight for
this purpose, make sure it is
weatherproof. Use floodlight kits
that include a weatherproof 100 -
or 150 -watt lamp, a holder de-
signed to permit either ground

or raised mounting, and weather
proof cord and connectors. You
can choose lamps in clear glass,
or in blue, green, red, yellow or
pink, depending on the effect
you wish to create.
A more elaborate type of door
decoration might be created if
you have a covered porch. In
this case it is easy to place
evergreen boughs under the
cornice of the porch roof, and
entwine them with strings of
outdoor Sparkle lights, to give a
bright, gay appearance, or the
softer Glow lights, for a quieter
effect. And if you are lucky
enough to have two evergreen
trees flanking the porch steps,
or your front door, they can con-
ceal two floodlights, one on eith-
er side, that throw their beams
upward to bathe the entire en-
trance area in an interesting
pattern of light and shadow. The
trees could also be decorated
with strings of outdoor Sparkle
(which have a clear glass) or
Glow lights (which have an
opaque glass) to add to the
beauty of the doorway.
Lighted candles are a lovely
addition to any doorway decora-
tion as a symbol of the Christ-
mas spirit. Candles can be eas-
ily made from sections of pipe,
plastic or mailing tubes, etc.,
and wired with an outdoor string
and a red Sparkle light 'bulb for
the "flame". A section of ply-
wood, cut to shape and painted
can be mounted on either side
of the doorway, to make a
simple frame of lighted candles.
Don't forget that your home
and grounds will be viewed in
the daytime as well as at night,
so try to conceal as much as
possible the floodlights, wires
and extension cords not intend-
ed for display.
Christmas time is also a time
for common sense in using
electricity outdoors. It is per-
fectly safe, but some simple pre-
cautions will not detract one bit
from the pleasure of creating a
beautiful decorative effect for
your home. Be sure that your
strings and sockets are express-
ly for outdoor use Sockets
should be all plastic, with plas-
tic claps to ensure a firm attach-
ment to evergreen boughs ,and
other material. If exposed to
CRANBROOK AUXILIARY
The November meeting of the
Cranbrook Evening Auxiliary
was held at the home of Mrs.
Stuart Stevenson with 11 mem-
bers present. The leader, Mrs.
Nelson, opened the meeting and
led in prayer. Scripture, 'St.
Luke, chapter 11, verses 38-42,
was read by Marilyn Engel. The
meditation was read by Mrs.
Nelson. "Recipe for Happiness"
was read by Grace Evans,
The meeting was turned over
to the president. Minutes of the
last meeting were read and the
roll call answered with a Re-
membrance Day verse. The cor-
respondence was read. Collec-
tion was taken by Helen Smith.
The sunshine collection was tak-
en by Eleanor Stevenson. It was
decided to have a gift exchange
at the December meeting. Plans
were made for the December
meeting to be held at the home
of Mrs. Nelson.
Topic, "The House Blew A-
way”, was read by Isobel Hue -
tiler. A hymn was sun; followed
by prayer by Mrs. Nelson. A
lunch was served by the hostess
assisted by Iscbel lluether and
Betty Knight.
Neighbor: "My wife is pro-
longing her holiday. I need her
at home but it seems useless to
suggest that she return."
Other neighbor: "Get one of
the neighbors to suggest it."
PITTER PATTER OF LITTLE
FEET
One pair of meadow mice
may have as many as 17 litters
a year, each averaging five
young. If all the mice from
this pair survived and reproduc-
ed to maximum capacity, there
would be a grand total of more
than one million within one
year. It would take 23 million
pounds of vegetable matter to
feed this one thriving family
for one year. Fortunately, mice
are a tasty 'dish to a number
of birds and animals — owls,
skunks, weasels, foxes, snakes
and hawks.

precipitation, sockets should be
positioned so that the lights will
hang downwards so that water
or snow won't collect in them.
Connections between strings
should either be taped with a
waterproof tape, or hung in
such a way that water cannot
seep in.
Don't overload the electrical
circuits of your house. If a fuse
blows, replace it with a new
one of the same amperage, us-
ually 15 amperes, and reduce
the load by disconnecting some
of the appliances and lights in
the house that are on the same
circuit. Never use substitute
materials for fuses. Basement
or attic circuits are the best
sources for outdoor lighting cir-
cuits, since they are not norm-
ally in use as much as the liv-
ing areas of your home. Many
new homes have a special ex-
terior circuit installed which
brings convenient power to an
outdoor Christmas display, sum-
mer lawn party decorations, and
to operate power garden tools.
Above all, have lots of fun
in decorating this year. Remem-
ber that it's best to start early
to plan your Christmas decora-
tions.
WORLD WITHOUT AIR
Our earth will probably af-
ter many millions of years, be-
come a dead world like the
moon. Little by little it is Los-
ing its atmosphere, its mole-
cules of air and without air
there can be no life.
Probably the moon once had
an atmosphere like our own.

New Telephone
Directory Out
New telephone directories by
the dozens are now in the hands
of telephone users in Seaforth
and surrounding territory.
W. W. Haysom, Bell Tele-
phone manager for this region,
said this week that about 35,-
770 copies of the 1961 directory
will be distributed throughout
the area served by the Strat-
ford-Goderich directory.
Telephone users in Seaforth
will receive 1,525 copies of the
1961 telephone book, compared
with 1,510 a year ago.
"Use your new directory,"
Mr. Haysom said. "Continued
use of the old one may lead to
wrong numbers since the new
book contains many new and
changed listings."
Mr. Haysom said that a good
way to avoid confusion and
wrong number because of
changed and new listings is
for each subscriber to bring his
Blue Book of Telephone Num-
bers or other personal lists of
numbers, up to date and to
consult them before placing a
call. Extra copies of the Blue
Book, in two sizes, may be ob-
tained from any Bell business
office.
A feature of the front cover
of this year's directory is a
sketch of the harbor at Gode-
rich. This drawing replaces the
illustration of the Shakespeare-
an Festival Theatre at Strat-
ford, which appeared on last
year's book.
The Stratford-Goderich direc-
tory also serves Hensall, Clin-
ton, Mitchell, Monkton, Tavi-
stock, Listowel and St. Marys.
