HANNAS ENJOYING
WEATHER IN SOUTH
According to a letter received from
John W. Hanna on Monday, the
weather in Florida is ideal and he and
Mrs. Hanna are enjoying the sunshine.
Hotel Alcazar,
Miami, Florida
pear Friends:
"*Just a line to tell you that we have I
arrived in Miami again. Had a fine ■
flight down and are now settled and
ready for a few weeks in the sun. The I
weather has been marvellous, about
80 degrees most of the time. We have
read about all the snow and cold you
are experiencing^ up north, and just
wish you could all come on down here.
They expect to have the largest tour
ist season in the history of Florida,
this year, and Miami is certainly a I
busy place, right now, especially with
the Christmas business so brisk.
Might say that I had the pleasure
of being a guest at the fabulous Hotel
Fontainbleau last evening, given by
the Thoroughbred Racing Association !
of the U.S. Inc., and I can safely say ,
that it was the finest affair I have I
yet attended. There were some four 1
hundred guests, and the Toastmaster i
was the famous Arthur Godfrey, who ,
is at present on holiday down here..
Also, at the head table there were1
such famous names as Alfred G. Van- j
derbilt and Governor LeRoy Collins of j course Remember mc to the members

A new service for sick people in the
district has been inaugurated by
Branch 180, Canadian Legion, in co
operation with the Red Cross Or
ganization. The local Legion branch
is now in a position to supply on
behalf of the Red Cross wheel chairs,
crutches, hospital beds and sick room
equipment to those needing such
equipment. There will be no charge
for this service.
In the past the Legion has been
active in handling the Red Cross
appeal for funds in this district, and
has undertaken this work as a
further endeavor to assist in Red
Cross activities.
It is hoped that eventually a full-
fledged Red Cross unit with a supply
of sick room equipment will be
posted to Wingham. At present equip
ment will be received from London,
and may be obtained on 24-hour
notice.
, Equipment is usually loaned for a
period of thirty days, and may be
renewed for longer periods if neces
sary. It will be distributed in co
operation with doctors in the district,
and may be obtained by contacting
any member of the Legion executive,
or phoning 177.
On the evening of November 23, the
firemen and their wives held a social
evening with Mr. and Mrs. Herb. Ful
ler as guests. Herb showed several
films on his movie projector of high
lights around Wingham in the past
few years, the 75th Anniversary,
Frontier Days, Cub Camp at Kincar
dine, floods, and a trip taken to the
city of Ottawa, and the St, Lawrence
River, The film was enjoyed by all,
as was the commentary by Herb,
which provided many laughs.
Court whist was then played, with
Mrs. Pete Bennett having high score
for the ladies and Morris Swanson,
high for the men. An enjoyable lunch
was served by the ladies. Conveners
for the social were Alvin Seli and
Pete Bennett.

Speaking of TV it was at times
difficult to hear the siren while listen

now with both hearing and vision in

special alarm system will have to be

MISTLETOE ONCE
SYMBOL OF EVIL
The mistletoe, once a weapon of
death and later considered to be a
magical medicine, is hoXv a universal
symbol of love and peace.
It was with a mistletoe arrow (ac
cording to Norse, mythology) that
Loki killed Balder the sun god, after
Balder’s mother had obtained a pro
mise from all living things, other than
the mistletoe, that they would not
harm him. Balder was resored to life
and it was ruled by the gods that the
mistletoe would never again be used
to do harm.
Ancient Europeans considered the
mistletoe a mag,leal medicine. They
carried it about with them for health
and luck, and believed it a fibre for
ulcers and epilepsy as well as a charm
promoting fertility.
The present day custom of giving
a kiss of love Ot peace beneath the
mistletoe, although a relatively mo
dern one, is derived from the fact that
down through the centuries the
mistletoe has been recognized arouhd
the world as a symbol of lasting peace.

tbe audience, Referring to the “ter

Hospital, he said that a hospital can
stand overcrowding of perhaps 25 or

in Wingham’s case.
Regarding chronic patients, he said
that the government 1$ beginning to

to provide active treatment for chro
