St. Catharines, Ont., to Ham- ilton looks on a railroad map as though wing flaps and a glide would cover the miles. I was glad I wasn't a crow for I enjoyed this •tail end of my weekend journ- ey by train across the fruit belt of the Niagara Peninsula. My stop- over in the port city had been deliberately planned for the re- turn trip. Hamilton, breathing down the neck of Toronto in its plans for supremacy as a seaway port, has always fascinated me. Suffering as it does from narrow streets and bad planning in its early days, the glow of the steel company's furn- aces on low lying clouds at night belies the mid-Victorian atmos- phere of its market place and many old-fashioned brownstone buildings. This city is a thriving metro- oplis, marching to the beat of in- dustry, caught up in the dramatic expansion of post war days. It is a city where business tycoons can gaze from their modern office win- dows and catch a glimpse of a "mountain". I have memories of that mountain. There is an institution in Can- ada that has survived war and de- pression and annually, like a mag- net, gathers a populace together from many miles •around. It is the Santa Claus parade of a famous department store. When No. 1 son was a toddler and too 'young to be confused by more than one St. Nick, we lived in London, Ont. His father, who had never out- grown his boyish enthusiasin for the holiday season, thought his firstborn should be exposed to all things Christmasy, from tinsel to the old Saint's-snowy white beard. 4+.1Achievenient Night in Wingham Friday' The annual achievement night . of the 4-H Clubs in Huron County will be held 'this year in Wing- ham District High School on Fri- day night, December 4.

In announcing the sPeckage deal", the Postmaster General pointed out that Canadian Mail volume jumps to 'some 300 per- cent of normal during the Christ- Mas rush wiled, and that every possible step had to be taken to avoid inconveniences to -Patrons .and to maintain efficient service during this Peak'period. He urged all Canadians te; do •their Christ- mas mailing, ,early—and• to buy stamps iii quantity before the rush begi4;l''; This year, the 'stamps will be available in special envelopes con- taining $1 worth of stamps. One 'envelope, printed in' green, will contain fifty 2-cent stamps, and the other, printed in blue, will contain 20 5-cent stamps. These envelopes are on sale at the Clin- ton Post Office, The Postmaster General emph- asizes that the scheme does not interfere with the present ar- rangement whereby the public can buy whole sheets' of postage stamps; or even individual stamps. He added it was in the public interest to purchase postage sup- plies in advance of the Christmas rush. to A defeCtive exhaust system that lets carbon monoxide seep into a car may have no ill effects during the summer, when windows are kept open. But closed windows in the cold weather can turn such a car into a letal gas chamber, says the Ontario Safety League, Remember that carbon monoxide is odorless, tasteless and deadly! (By our Hensel!. Correspondent) The Woman's Missionary Society of the Hensall United Church met Thursday afternoon for their No- vember meeting, with Mrs. W. B. Cross presiding. Worship period was taken by Mrs. N. B, Cook, Mrs, N. Jones, Mrs, A. Clark and. Mrs. F. Harburn, followed with a prayer by Mrs, Clark. Literature notes were presented by Mrs. Weekes, in which she encouraged more reading of books to be passed among the inenahers. Mrs. Currie Winlaw favoured with a piano solo. The study,* "Africa Unlimited", was .ably taken by Mrs. Cross, who also reported for the stationery that members Will be asked to sell. President, Mrs. George Arm- strong, chaired the meeting for the business period. Mrs, R James' McAllister was appointed a repre- sentative to attend a meeting of the Cancer Society in Exeter on November 30. Following the Goderich Town- ship nominations •held in Clinton last Friday, the Chairman of the Huron County Good' Roads Com- mittee, Reeve Harvey Coleman, Stanley Township, &alined that Goderich Township has had its fair share of the county road con- struction in the past years. 7-k. statement made at the nom- ination by J W. Deeves, a candi- date for the Goderich Township reeveship, that the Cut Line and the 11-thconcesolon of Goderich Township would' be returned to the township by the county, has ,beenemphatically denied by Mr. Coleman. The Stanley Township reeve said that such a proposal' was never at any time even sug- gested by the county roads corm. mittee. Mr. Coleman also added that the four miles of road in Goderich. Township, north of Varna, com- monly known as the Varna Road' was not at any time considered for reconstruction by the Huron Coun- ty, Roads Committee in 1959. I Five-Pin Bowling 1.

But we were young and it took only an hour to heat bricks and potatoes in the oven and bundle ourselves up in blankets, dur fists clutching the hot potatoes and our feet per- ched on half a dozen that bricks. At least they were hot when we left London, on a dark and omin- ous morning in early November. As we chugged along in our car of the late 20's, snow beat against the windshield and froze in a sil- ver thaw, obliterating all visibility. We were in a fool's paradise of an- ticipation and continued blindly on our way ,until we hit the top of Hamilton mountain. With the car out of control on the ice-clad hill, our hearts beat us to the bottom of the Ancaster cut and caught .up with us only when we were safely ensconced in a warm rail- way coach, minus the bricks, po- tatoes and, of course, the car. We parked that in a garage where it sat out the duration of one of the worst early blizzards in Ontario's history. But, thanks to the CNR, we saw Santa Claus in Toronto. Even today that same little boy braves the caprice of winter every year, to hold his own youngsters on his shoulder for a better view of Santa Claus and his retinue of fairy tale floats, Hamilton has other memories for me too. These were saddened a bit on my recent visit there when I walked the length Of St. James Street to where I knew "The Castle" Stood. On frequent visits to Hamilton, the children and I used to play Knights of the Round Table in its shadow on the spacious grounds that surrounded the home of a bachelor lawyer, Colin Reid, who had built many years before a perfect replica of the home of his ancestors. For nearly a hundred years it stood behind its high stone wall, but today it is •sorry evidence of its early splendour. A service station stands between the castle and the street and its once proud interior now houses offices and small apartments. More constructive ehanges have taken place in . Hamilton since the days when, during the war, I would Spend my weekend leaves there away from iny service as a YWCA hostess at Aylmer, Ont, RCAF station. The Stately new Medical Arts Building was the first of the new, architecturally mod- ern edifices to change the face of Hamilton's business thoroughfare. May the likeness of queen Vie- toria reign many more years over "The Gore", for Without thiS re. minder of early affluence, when A city could afford a green strip in the heart of its main street, Hatrulton would become a city Of whistle listeners, hearing only the hoot of industry and forget-ting the grace of castles and bronze images.
