HERE IS HOW TO MAKE IT TRUE Many proud home -owners) want to send their neighbors a Christmas card—in lights, out- door Iights! And ... they don't have to be a master electrician or a lightig authority to get a professional result. The experts say some simple, commonsense guides, plus im- agination, are the best tools for a successful holiday lighting dis- play—one that's fun to see and fun to make. For instance, if a family is the eat -and -play outdoors type, they may already be nicely equipped with covered electric- al outlets outside the home, in the garden, etc. These outlets are the most convenient way to power Christmas lights, Be- cause of this, and because they help perform other electrical miracles all year round—for, outdoor cooking, garden lighting, electrical lawn mowing and a host of other duties—the home- owner may even wish to con- sider installing them in time for Christmas. If a person is sold on the idea of permanent outdoor sockets, and hasn't got them yet --auth- orities strongly urge hiring an electrician. This wiring job is rot in the "do-it-yourself" cate- gory. • For the man who has garage or porch lighting, or electric post lanterns on the lawn, it is easy to operate Christmas lights from any of these sockets. One other tip for planning lights: The normal standard do- mestic lighting circuit is de- signed to provide a maximum wattage of 1,500 watts, control- led by a 15 -ampere fuse or cir- cuit breaker, thus enabling a flexible cords which are plug- ged into the circuit. Before plugging in extra cords for Christmas lights, subtract the wattage of any electrical items which are already operating on a circuit,_ and the difference should be the maximum which can be used for outdior lights oft that circuit, There's no need to fear dam- age from snow or rain when outdoor, weatherproof equip - are used. Electrical living outdoors has grown in popularity that many stores today carry outdoor wir- ing. One tip—when your Christ- mas lights are plugged into an extension cord, wrap the joint in a plastic film . . . then tie ATTENTION!

They come in many colors, just right for Christmas. And they're so simple to use that breath- taking results can be achieved with a real ease. Fixtures for floodlights come ready to set on the ground, and from a wall or some other device. They'll do double duty, too, because floodlights can be used in the garden, to light a barbecue, pat- io, or for other purposes in the summer months. Decorating - Now on to the fun -of decorat- ing. Let the whole family pitch in with ideas ... and work . , . but keep the plans simple for the best results and the most fun. For those who want to string lights on an outdoor Christmas trec, here's a rule of thumb to figure out how many bulbs will be needed. Multiply the height by the width of the tree, in feet. Double this number, and this gives the approximate bulb count. How about a spectacular 'rain- bow' tree. Select a special flood- light unit with a four-color disk that revolves above a clear bulb. Place it on the ground so that it shines on the evergreen. The "play of colors" is especially at- tractive after a snowfall and on aluminum trees. Shadow Decoration Light and shade . . . equally dramalic. Experiment with new ideas. Decorate with shadows of Christmas trees, reindeer, San - Ls and his sleigh. Cut figures such as these from plywood , paint them . with insulated staples, attach TO: THE • EDITOR: November 14, 1951 Editor, The Huron Expositor: The Ontario Farmer's Union have designated Nov. 20,25 as Farm Union Week. We feel this recent editorial in the Farmer's Advocate sums up the aims and objectives of the Huron County Farmer's Union. (Signed): MR. RAY HANNA, Director MRS. THOMAS GOVENLOCK, Lady Director. "The Ontario Farm Union has just completed its 10th annual meeting. This is an important milestone, At this point the zeal that brought the organiza- tion into existence has had time to cool. A solid, business -like program is needed to maintain the interest and respect of members, to keep them on the march toward the next major milestone. "The meeting just concluded In Lindsay gave no indication that the Union is faltering or likely to fall by the wayside. Their leaders seem not to have lost any force and they have visions or further expansion.

DEAN, M.D. MEDITORIAL; During the past summer I have noticed an unusual number of outer ear infections. There are several reasons for this and swimming heads the list. High humidity, I believe, is also an important cause. The absence of any ear wax, and too much wax (in that order) are other causes. Per- sons having very narrow ear canals are also susceptible. Since prevention is the best treatment, it is well to remem- ber this annoying disease next spring, One method of preven- tion tried this summer—with apparent success—is the use of ear drops right after swim- ming. These special drops will not produce any stinging or other discomfort. Their pur- pose was to prevent infection and dry up any excess mois- ture. Water, left in the ear canal, increases the chance for infection. The use of ear plugs, and cot- ton or Iambs wool with petro- leum jelly, also keeps out mois- ture to some extent. I would advise all former vic- tims of otitis externa (swim- mer's ear) and those who have reason to believe they are pos- sible victims to see their doc- tors before they go swimming again whether it be this winter or next summer. strings of colored lights. To bring bulbs closer together, overlap several strings and tape them to each other. Stand the cutout figure about five feet from a plain wall— and turn a floodlight on it. The magical effect of a giant shad- ow on the wall behind doubles the decoration. It's especially effective where there are large areas of wall to trim. If black shadows aren't fes- tive enough . . . color them. Hide a colored floodlight in back of the plywood figure, shine it on the wall, and the wall is pre - tinted. These are just a few ideas .. the householder must let his imagination take over. Once he has handled weather- proof yard lights . and mas- ter -minded holiday displays .. . he'll never keep decorations ;rictly indoors again. Every year will find him dreaming of "light" Christmas. venting farmers from speaiting with one voice. This, critics complain, weakens the position of all farmers when they go to deal with government and oth- ers. "From time to time we've heard that the Federation and the Farm Union should amal- gamate. However, we are glad to say we have not heard this suggestion for some time. We feel that it would be in the best interests of all farmers if the two remain separate. "We believe there are times when the Union and the Fed- eration should get together and speak out with one voice—for example when government is being approached. But for most things the competition between the two groups is healthy and for the good of all. There is nothing like competition to sharpen people up and keep them on their toes. "Many times we hear the comment that Canada tends to be tame—that our politics are too polite and our organizations colorless. We often wish that some of the people who say these things would come more frequently to farmers' meetings. Certainly anyone who has heard the rousing speeches of men like Gordon Hill or Mel Teb- butt know that we still have the potential of dynamic lead- ership in our rural life. These people may represent a min- ority group but, as the opposi- tion, they have a freedom and flexibility that can be a stimu- lus and challenge. "The Ontario Farm Union can pride itself on being a grass - roots, direct -dues -paying group and we hope it stays that way. We may not agree with all its ideas, but there is no doubt that its members are sin- cere bonafide farm people. "We wish them well as they enter their second decade 'of activity and progress." A man appeared in a news- paper office to place an ad of- fering $100 for the return of his wife's cat. "That's an awfully high price for a cat," the clerk suggested. "Not for this one," said the man, "I drowned it." The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts. A coulemeter is an instru- ment for measuring the amount of electricity passing through a circuit. "Yes," said the personnel manager, to the job applicant, "what we're after is a man of vision; a man with drive, de- termination, fire; a man who can inspire others; a man who can pull our bowling team out of last place!" "I've spent nearly $5,000 on that girl's education," com- plained an aggrieved father, "and here she goes and mar- ries a fellow with an income of only $500 a year." "Well," said a friend of the family, "that's 10 per cent on your investment. Pretty good going, I should say." ' O" PcP0sITOR, sgAVORM 110v, 10 1- It PORK ROASTS 390 Ib.
