those that trust me,
I would be pure for there are
these who care;
I would be strong, for there is
much to suffer;
I would be brave, for there is
much to dare
I would be friend of all - the foe,
the friendless;
I would be giving, and• forget the
gift;
I would be humble, for I know my
weakness;
I would look up, and laugh, and
love, and lift.
Mr. Carson said it should help
each person to prepare for
Christmas. We should be true,
pure, strong, brave, friendly,
giving, humble and look up,
laugh, love, and lift, This is what
makes Christmas,

DALEY'S WEEKLY COMMENTS
20 avt4 6i/te14
Old Santa received quite a
welcome from 540's members'
children on Saturday December
16 in spite of the inclement
weather. Our good friends from
Molson's supplied a suitable film
for the children's enjoyment
prior to Santa's arrival. As an-
ticipated there were a few
children present (very few thank
goodness) whose parents failed to
notify Santa as requested. The
old fellow had quite a job trying
to explain to these youngsters
why there was no gift for them.
Pretty tough on the old fellow.
Here's a wee chuckle for you
Comrades for the last Comments
in 72.
Ode To a MartiniDrinker
Or Sold Cober
Starkle, Starkle, little twink
Who the heck you are I think?
I'm not under what you call •
The Affluence of incohol.
I'm not as drunk as thinkle peep,
I'm just a little slort on sheep.
Tee martoonees make a guy
Fool so feelish; don't know why.
Don't know quite who's me yet,
The drunker I stay, the longer I
get.
So just one more to fill my cup,
I've all day sober to Sunday up.
This being the last `Comments'
for 1972 — I trust you have
received some enjoyment in my
attempts to bring to you the
happenings around Branch 540

A Very Merry Christmas and a
Happy and Prosperous New
Christmas Day
By SUSAN HUFFMAN
St. Patrick's
Christmas day is filled with joys,
When all the children get some
toys.
They speak to us in different
ways,
Which makes a jolly Christmas
day.
You put up decorations and make
things look nice,
Then SANTA comes with toy
snakes and toy mice,
But remember Jesus is the one,
He is God's only son.

Year and may each and every
one of you be the perfect host or
hostess, as the case may be, by
making the one for the road -
coffee and not be the one who
brings sorrow to a friend by
letting them have just one drink
too many.
And that's 30 for this year -
remember - most men who meet
pretty girls on the street seldom
give them a second thought-They
are usually too tied up with the
first thought.
