Robin Steven Represents
Bruce in Boys Parliament
Robin Steven, son of Rev.
and Mrs. Douglas Steven of Bel -
more, is spending five days at
Kingston as the representative
of Bruce County in the Ontario
Older Boys Parliament which is
in session from December 27th
to 31st.
The Parliament, which is
held at Queen's University, is
made up of boys from it to 2,0
years of age who come from
110 constituencies from all ov-
er the province. These boys
are elected in a similar man-
ner to federal Parliamentarians.
During the session the represent-
atives deal with specific acts of
legislation which have originat-
ed in district conventions.
Robin, along with two other
boys from the Bclmore-McIn-
tosh pastoral charge, Ross Ilar-
per and Ron Harkness, attended
the Christian Young Councillors
Convention in Stratford the last
three days in October, where
they represented the Belmore-
McIntosh Hi -C group. The con-
vention, set up on the pattern
of the Older Boys Parliament,
was an inter -denominational
meeting sponsored by the On-
tario Council of Christian Edu-
cation.
The five main topics under
discussion at the convention
were: Boy -girl relationships;
materialism, conformity, sci-
ence and religion, cheating
versus honesty. The represen-
tatives were formed into com-
missions, each of which dis-
cussed the questions andbrought
in reports to the convention.
Resolutions were formulated on
the basis of these reports.
The chief purposes behind
the Christian Young Councillors
Convention are to develop and
promote Christian fellowship
among older boys; to foster de-
mocratic procedures and to in-
crease knowledge and skill in
the creation of legislation; to
provide a channel for the ex-
pression of individual wills on
issues of the day; to face the
problems of the present times
under creative leadership and
to transmit ideas and solutions
to others; to discover within the
church opportunity for unlimit-
ed vision and free expression of
opinion; to add impetus to
Christian living and service and
to deepen the Christian witness;
to confront older boys with the
demands of Jesus Christ for
complete and unswerving dedi-
cation to llim for life.
The three boys mentioned
above were the special speakers
at the Christmas banquet of the
Maq-Bel Friendship Club when
all members of the Hi -C group
were entertained.

SOME WEATHER—
While everyone at home
knows what goes with the wea-
ther, Winghamites who are in
the south may be interested to
know that we ran the gamut of
weather over the holiday. Fri-
day it poured rain and melted
off the last vestiges of the pre-
vious light snowfall. Then came
Christmas Eve. The reindeer
must have created a vacuum
that brought down cold air from
the north, for Christmas day
blossomed forth with about as
mean a morning as we've had
so far this winter. The rain had
changed to snow which piled up
into drifts of a fair dimension.
The fall was rated locally at
from five to six inches. Came
Sunday. A beautiful sunny win-
ter day that was ideal for new
toboggans and sleighs.

GOING UP—
Subscribers to The Advance -

and took home $50.00 in cash.
Winning $25.00 each were
Mrs. Gordon Deyell, Wingham;
Chas. Irwin, R.R. 5, Wing -
ham; Mrs. T. L. McInnes, Gor-
rie and Karl Whitfield of Blyth.
Those winning $10.00 prizes
were Orville Welsh, R. R. 2,
Wingham; Art Wheeler, Wrox-
eter; Doug Workman, Brussels;

The Christmas Eve draw cul-
minated five weeks in which
Wingham merchants offered
free tickets on every $1.00 pur-
chased
utchased by Christmas shoppers.
Seventy-five dollars in prize
money was handed out every
week in the four weeks preceed-
Times are reminded that on
Monday of next week the price
of the paper for one year goes
up to $5.00 (150 a week on the
stands). Sub. price for U.S.
and foreign will be $7.00 per
year. We don't like it, you
don't like it — but we can't
help it. There is just one con-
solation: If we were in themid-
dle of a big depression and had
to lower the subscription price
nobody would be very happy
either.

LEAVING SHORTLY—
This week sees the begin-
ning of the post -Christmas mi-
gration to Florida and we hope
all the travellers find the wea-
ther balmy and the skies cloud-
less. Wish we could go along,
but somebody has to stay be-
hind to shovel the snow.

Studded Tires
Doubtful Buy
The Ontario Motor League
cautions all motorists using or
contemplating the use of stud-
ded snow tires to check out the
regulations governing their use
before using them anywhere in
Canada or the United States.
At the present time the On-
tario Motor League advises that
the Ontario Highway Traffic
Act prohibits the use of materi-
al that will damage highways,
including studded snow tires.
The question as to how result-
ing damage could be proved re-
mains unanswered.
Feast or Famine
Christmas Day
BELMORE--It was Christmas
Day, and for many people in
Western Ontario it seemed to
be either 'feast or famine' !
"Where is our White Christ-
mas?" mumbled a number of
friendly little Scrooges as they
met you on the street on a sog-
gy Christmas Eve, each of you
looking like something dragged
from the nearest river!
Miracle of miracles -- our
White Christmas arrived -- so
white that you could see neither
Santa Claus nor chimney, nor
at times even the end of your
own nose!
For those of us planning
Christmas gatherings of thirty
or more, it was a day of eat-
ing -- turkey with all the trim-
mings, followed by a perfectly
lovely Christmas Sunday -- in
bed! For the ones 'invited out'
and unable to travel, it was a
quiet day, spent resting, watch-
ing television, and dining on
mashed potato sandwiches or
crackers and cheese.
But whether it's cloudy or
sunny, stormy or clear, whether
we're enjoying turkey or tomato
soup, Christmas is still the
same joyful day, spent remem-
bering and giving thanks for the
greatest gift the world was ever
given. And who cares about
the 'stormy weather' if we have
Christmas in our hearts!
We wish all of you, our
customers, a most rewarding
Happy New Year, and
we would like to express our thanks
for your loyalty and good will.
