A MERRY FIRE SAFE CRRISTMA.S
ciA 'INSEE :and sparkling . lights may

Material is being used this hazard can be avoid
ed to a certain extent, but all to often this
saafeguard merely :males us more. careless over
!fiimrsy paper decorations. ,
Sadly enough, helpless children seem to be
tie most frequent victims of Christmas tree
fires, yet the decorations are put up for their
particular benefit.
Fire .Chief Grant Rath suggests .buying a
small, fresh tree, and letting it have plenty of
water while it is' up, This means a diagonal cut
, . across the trunk, and this placed in a pail of
water, so that the tree will have plenty of water,
. and thus be less apt to catch fire. .. .
Doxi:'t use lighted candles; and insist upon
flame -proof decorations for your tree, Check
your .wiring, and Deep all bulbs frorn touching.
the tree.
Don't leave children: alone, And., if yen.
have a baby-sitter in, make sure they know
who to call in ease of fire, as well as the address
and 'phone number of where the parents are
going :to be.
Make it a merry fire safe 'Christmas.

OPEN 11OG MARKET
i'RQGRESS TOWARDS a farmer=controlled
market for the bogs produced on their 4arnis is
going on steadily, regardless of the increasing
interest being bent towards Christmas and the'
many events with, that holiday period. •
Though the effects of a sensibly` producer-
controlled hog market may not . be felt by the
farmers to strongly, in time for this Christmas,
all signs point toward a better day for them
in future.
u e,
At least '13 of. Ontario's meat packers and
processors are in agreement with' the movements
made so Par by the hog producers. They are in
complete :accord with the improvements made
in the marketing, and have not hesitated to tell
the Hog Producers so.
It is only reasonable to expect that those
•'larger packers whip have until •now had tine
market all . their own way --with the animals
delivered right into ,their yards for whatever
price they want to .pay should now be unhappy
about the methods of marketing. Rut after
all, who should have the say in how liroduce-
is marketed, if not the fellow that ,grows, feeds
and nurtures it into a Grade A carcass?
• Would the big packer submit 'to having
someone else tell him' what he should receive
for his finished product? where he should mark-
et it? etc. Of course not. The person; he pleases.
isathe chap who buys in' the store, and to that
`buyer who is willing to pay the highest prices,
goes the merchandise. ,
That is the •right, which the farme1 folk
are just beginning to realize is theirs at a prim-
ary level. They are taking steps to regain that
right.
All power to them in this move to regain
indep deuce and the free market.

HOLY DAY :or `"HOLI-DAZE"
•
(By E. L. HOMEWOOD)
"CHRISTMAS isn't what it used to be,"
said the -man In the bus, ','Now when I was
a boy,. ;,a -a"
"Christmas is getting toebe a; -,bit of a
rachce," muttered the harassed mother 'is she
looked . in her slender purse, trying to • fiigure.
`out a way to get some of the things her young
ones expected from Santa.
"Christi,ias is, just give and take," cynically
remarked the footsore young lady as she pushed
through the crowds around the display counters,
And perhaps .Christmas isn't what ►,it used
to be. For the Brat Christmas was a holy
day, when the Christ Child was born in a
manger in Bethlehem, Over the years the cele-
bration has lengthened by days and weeks, until
now the Christmas season starts early in No-
vember when Santa Claus makes his first ap-
pearance and extends almost into the New Year.
In many homes, .the'holy day has become
a series of "holt-daze". A mixture of last-
minute shopping, home eelelbrations, office• drink-
ing parties (onwhich there has been a justified
craok-down in recent years, distranting holiday
sights and sounds, can lead • to this sometimes
tragic state.
But' Christmas is still a holy day. It is the
anniversary of the birth of a Man who came,
not to sing carols, ,eat turkey or trim Christmas
trees, but to give .the world one gift -•-the gift
of. love.
Why' not make this Christmas a • holy day
in your home. 'save fun, enjoy your gifts, your
children', the feasting and . all that goes with a
family Christmas. But take a minute or two
from the day's • festivities .and consider our
Christmas hope - for the world as we approaeli
a •New Year which, in itself, brings suggestion
of courage and of hope. -
A' new prayer for the New Year,
In merdy, heavenly 'Father, hear.
`he farmer.:things are passed away,
Make all things new for Thy great day.
Giva us the best Thou hast to give,
By which alone we still may live— '
A new heart and a new birth
For a new heaven and a new, earth.

The Bible Today 'k
For the second time in its hist-
ory the United States hag pictured
the Bible on a postage stamp.
Issued on Labbur. Day, 1956, ns
a special commemorative stamp,
it depicts the labourers apprecia-
tion of the Bible. ' •
The -design for the stamp was
taken from a mural in the •new
An.„-CIQ headquarters building in
Washington, D.C. This giant mosiac
mural 51 feet, high and 17 feet
wide pictures a worker with a
pick, hammer and hoe over his
shoulder, with an. arm about his
wife. She is seated and is reading
to their young sonfrom what the
artist's title describes as "The
Book of Life".
A spokesman for George Meany,
president of the AFL-CIO said:
"To us 'The Book of Life' can
mean nothing other than the
Bible. The (mural shows) 'tlie
Bible to be the one sure -and cel(-
tain`guide we tiave.in 'life•".
The only other such stamp is-
sued in the USA, in 1939, shows
Washington taking the .presiden-
tial oath with his hand on the
Bible.
Recently Brazil used a Bible So-
ciety poster on ar postage stamp,

Hostess Responsible For. Guests
During Christmas
Holiday Period
"Heartbreak or happiness •-- the
choice is often up to the hostess
who entertains during the Christ-
yeas and New Year's holidays",
declared Mrs. 3. W. Adams, Ethel-
ton, Sask., president of the Fed-
erated Women's Institutes of Can-
ada in a 'pre -holiday atatement.
"Canadian 13oti ewives must real-
ize the heavy responsibility which
rests on their shoulders during
this holiday period", she said, "and
they must accept this responsibilw
ity and act accordingly,"
Traffic fatalities during this feel
tive period have been on thee in-
crease In recent: years, Mrs. Ad-
ams pointed • out, and many of,
these accidents could have been
avoided if more thought had been
put into the planning of holiday
parties and the refreshment sew-
ed at therm.
In . the gaiety ,and warmth of
family reunions, and the visits of
dear and old friends, caution is
sometimes "flung to the winds"
and what started out to be a won-
derful evening often ends in trag-
edy.
In concluding, Mrs. Adams sug-
ges ed a few simple rules to be
followed by the Canadian hostess
this year in order to ensure a
happy and safe holiday season for
all:
1. Always have food available for
your guests. Tasty spreads and
dips for crackers and potato
chips, cold meat cuts and a
variety of cheese are always
welcome and easy to serve.
2. If you are among the many
Canadians Who serve -alcoholic
beverages, keep the safety of
your guest in mind and be
moderate. Give them a cup of
hot' soup, chocolate, coffee or
other alertness' beverage before
they leave.
3, Night driving in the •inter on
icy "roads or in the glare of
snow packed roads is hard on
the nerves and the eyes, Sug-
gest to the wives that they
take a spell at the wheel if any
distance is to be covered.
4. Listen carefully to weather re-
- ports on your radio before your
. guests leave and invite them
to stay overnight if a snow-
storm is predicted. Saving their
lives is worth any inconven-
ience to yott.
5. Suggest to your guests that
they carry, with them a ther-
inos of coffee to provide a
+break when they have to travel
in isolated areas. This will help
them stay alert and alive,
With road conditions the way
they are at this time of the year,
a driver needs all his faculties,
says Mrs. Adams. Not only must
he .take utmost' card with his own
driving, blit must constantly be on
the watch for the often haeardous
driving of others.
