Describes Conestoga
Plans for Huron
Seaforth Mayor Sills, a mem-
ber of the Board of Governors
of Conestoga College in addres-
sing Huron Council last week
said:
"For several years the Strat-
ford Board of Education operated
a manpower retraining centre
in the Norwestern Secondary
School. In 1969 this centre was
amalgamated with the College.
The number of students, both
full and part-time, was increased
and now is in excess of 400.
Continued growth is anticipated
because the College has the cap-
ability of offering a wide select-
ion of para-professional, skill,
apprenticeship and management
courses. The size and nature of
our programme makes it neces-
sary for us to seek to obtain a
building of our own. Contrary
to press reports, plans have not
been finalized and it may be some
time before we can proceed. When
and if we succeed in acquiring a
building of our own in Stratford, it
will be designed to serve the
needs of that City and present
needs of Perth County.
The College has identified the
need for seven centres in the
counties of Huron, Perth,Water-
loo and Wellington. Buildings
are occupied in Centres at
Guelph, Waterloo and Doon. As
indicated previously, we have
grown to the point of requiring
a building in Stratford. In the
very new Centres in the Galt-
liespeler-Preston area and in
Huron County, the Centres con-
sist only of offices staffed by an
Administrator and a secretary.
No action has been taken in the
seventh area which is North Wel-
lington and perhaps parts of
Huron and Perth.
Mr. Ross Milton has been
appointed to develop what we
describe as the Huron Centre.
He has an office in the Federal
Building in Seaforth.
During the first few months
in which Mr. Milton has been
world ng in our County he has con-
centrated his efforts on seeking
to determine the needs. In a
report prepared in September,
Mr. Milton drew attention to
the information that as many as
300 high school graduates would
take courses if they were of-
fered in the County, industries
need skilled employees and that
the attraction of new industries
would depend in part on the avail-
ability of skilled workers. The
needs for courses for young
adults and adults are in the
general areas of technology, ap-
plied arts and business and except
for instruction in very special-
ized laboratories and shops the
complete programme could be
offered in the County.
Mr. Milton is continuing with
his work and cannot be present
to-day because he is meeting with
80 students in Wingham.
A few courses will be offered
before the Spring of 1971, while
planning is proceeding for a much
expanded programme In the Fall,
of 1971. Forecasts are being made
and sums of money are being
budgeted.
In the normal course of events
we would propose to offer educat-
ional programmes in rented
facilities until our growth is
sufficient to justify a building of
our own. However, the events
are not exactly normal because
of the closing of the Canadian
Forces Base at Clinton. This
Is attach too large for the size
of the educational programme
which we foresee for Huron
County, but we could use part of
IL Consequently, we have offered
to participate with departments
of both the Federal and provincial
Governments in the establish- .
ment of an educational complex on
the Base. The College has made
several suggestions and the
President has been in frequent
contact with representatives of
groups who may wish to use part
of the Base".

When Santa Claus comes
sliding down the chimney on
Christmas Eve, where will he
land?
Right in the fireplace, an
area that has been a tradi-
tional part of Christmas for
more years than Santa has
worn a red suit!
Before ,the turn of the cen-
tury, Santa Claus, or St. Nich-
olas, frequently wore a blue
robe, although Clement Clarke
Moore, in "A Visit from St.
Nicholas," pictured him as
"clad all in fur, from his head
to his foot."
But for centuries, the fire-
place has been a treasured and
often vital part of the home.
The fireplace as it exists to-
day— that is, the firebox along
the wall, with a chimney in-
stead of an open fire in the
middle of the room — dates
from about 1066.
Built of Wood
Early fireplaces were built of
wood or wicker, but they
proved so dangerous that in
the year 1419 the City of Lon-
don decreed that henceforth
fireplaces be made of tiles,
stone or plaster, under the
penalty of being demolished.
A greatly improved system
of making tiles was adopted by
the Dutch from the Spaniards
following the Treaty of Breda
in 1009. and paved the way for
more elaborately decorated
ceramics on fireplace facings,
walls and mantels.
A sprig of mistletoe, a holly
wreath, an evergreen tree —
these and other decorations of
greenery come into homes at
holiday time — and tradition
blooms.
The "green Christmas" is an
ancient custom, more univer-
sally observed than a "white
Christmas."
In earliest times, at the pag-
an winter festivals, evergreens
and winter-blooming plants
were prized for their promise
of spring and the sun's return.
For the first Christians, the
same greenery symbolized life
eternal. * * *
"The Holly and the Ivy." As
the old Christmas carol indi-
cates, both holly and ivy share
an ancient heritage as holiday
greenery, Early characteriza-
tion of holly as masculine and
ivy as feminine goes ba‘ck to
holly
and
games, with "the
and the ivy" in friendly com-
petition.
A later tradition says that
spiny-leaved hollies are "he"
hollies, while the smooth-
leaved plants are "she" hollies.

The use of such tiles for fire-
places soon spread to England,
and then to the Colonies.
Skilled Dutch craftsmen
decorated ceramic tiles with
designs of oranges, grapes, tu-
lips, vases of flowers, ships,
sea monsters, landscapes,
horsemen and royal portraits,
The English used similar
pictures and added many
charming scenes designed by
renowned artists, including
Kate Greenaway, famed for
her Christmas card designs.
Set a Precedent
These tiles were used both
to line the fireplace' and on
mantels and other surfacings,
setting a precedent for mod-
ern fireplaces. —
In America, the Pilgrims
built crude stone fireplaces,
then constructed their log
huts around them.
Today, as in those earlier
years, ceramic tile remains a
practical and decorative sur-
facing material for fireplaces,
and the home owner has a far
wider choice to work with than
did early home builders.
More than 250 different cer-
amic tile sizes, shapes and tex-
tures are supplied by Ameri-
can manufacturers, says the
Tile Council of America.
Just as in the early days,
special decorative tiles give the
fireplace a distinctive touch of
elegance to greet Santa when
he arrives, via the traditional
route.
Woman to bank teller: "I'd
like to open a joint account."
"With your husband?" asked
the teller.
'Of course not," answered
the woman, "with someone who
has some money."
Sheep Club
ToOrganize
The Huron County 4-H Sheep
Club will organize for the new
year on Wednesday, December
30th, 1970 at 1:30 p.m. in the
Agricultural Office Board Room,
Clinton according to L. G. Mac-
Gregor, Extension Assistant for
Huron.
This year's club had a
successful year with 100% of its
members competing at the
Clinton Spring Fair in June. At
their meetings the members
studied feeds and feeding and
judging, with the majority of the
members actually taking part in
the teaching process themselves.
For the new year, twilight
meetings and regular discussion
meetings have been planned, Mr.
MacGregor said and added that
field trips can be organized if
enough interest is shown. It is
hoped that as many young people
as possible between the ages of
12 and 20 can take part in this
club to learn of the sheep in-
dustry in Canada, he said.

Recitations Are
Concert Feature
The Christmas Concert of
the Constance Community Church
was held on Friday evening, Dec-
ember lath. Recitations were
given by Bobby Buchanan, Valerie
and Bill Millson. Duets were sung
by Sharon and Bob Thompson and
Sandra Smith and Susan Coombs.
The Primary class of the
Sunday school put on a play en-
titled "Decorated Christmas
Tree".
The Junior class play was
"The Christmas Journey". Mrs.
David Livingston favored with a
solo. Mr, Morrison gave a
reading "The Christmas Story"
and the evening closed with the
singing of Christmas carols.
How It Began
`Green Christmas' Traces
Heritage To Ancient Times
The kind of holly brought into
the home at Christmas deter-
mines whether "he" or "she"
will be head of the house for
the coming year. * * *
"Rosemary, that's for Re-
membrance." When Shakes-
peare wrote this famous line,
rosemary was not only for re-
membrance—it was for Christ-
mas decorating, too.
Rosemary, a fragrant herb
that remains evergreen in
warm climates, is no longer
used as a holiday decoration,
but it still retains its legend-
ary connection with Christ 7
mas.
The legend says that, during
the flight into Egypt, Mary
spread the Holy Infant's cloth-
ing on a rosemary bush to dry.
At once, the bush became
sweetly scented, and its pale
white lalossoms turned to a.
lovely blue. • $ *
Mistletoe for Luck, Today, a
meeting beneath the mistletoe
brings good luck in the form of
a kiss.
Ancient peoples believed
that mistletoe had a more pos-
itive control over luck, good
and bad. A bit of mistletoe
hung over a doorway was said
to ward off evil.
A later belief suggested that
mistletoe could bring bad luck.
If mistletoe boughs put up for
Christmas are not-removed by
Candlemas Eve (February 1) ,
this belief holds that each leaf
will bring forth a goblin to re-
main for the rest of the year,
harassing the household.
