Interesting letter from Inuvik, NWT The following is in part, a Christmas letter written by Mr, and Mrs. Russell Buie who are at Inuvik, N. W."1",, known to a number of people in this area, Mrs. Buie is the former Pauline Robinson, a native of Blyth, and Mr. Buie has rela- tives in Teeswater. He was formerly inspector of schools in Kitchener and is now super- intendent of schools, Depart- ment of Northern Affairs, stationed at Inuvick. His jut., isdietion covers a wide area. 0-0-0 Dear Friends; Greetings again from the Land of Santa Claus and his reindeer, as we approach our second Christmas north of the Arctic Circle. Santa arrived at the Hudsons Ba.y.Store here yesterday and coloured lights, Christmas trees and decorations are appearing all over town. We have donelome decorating and today, we drove out the airport road a few miles and got a Christmas tree. Our trees are not very tall but there are thousands of them, About 25 miles north of Inuvik the trees disappear and the land is all tundra. This is where the reindeer and the cariboo graze, even at 40 and 50 below. We have been very busy this fall. Pauline has been teachinl since October 1st and I have been doing a lot of travelling. Almost every week I have been away for a couple of days. Last week I visited Arctic Red River and Aklavik (get out your map4 Since the small planes must fly in daylight, we don't have much flying time these days and always in the middle of the day. I curl three times a week but Pauline is too busy with her Girl Guides and choir prac- tice. She sings in the Angli- can choir. We haven't played much bridge as few people here are bridge players. There are two churches here. One is Anglican and the other is Roman Catholic. Both are very nicely decorated and lighted for Christmas, The R.C. church is built in the shape of an igloo. The old priest (over SO) builds an ice sculpture each year to depict the Nativity scene. It is about 30 feet long and 15 or 20 feet high. He conceals coloured lights in the ice and it is really beautiful. It shows up well all day and lasts until April. The church in Fort Franklin, an Indian settlement on Great Bear Lake, is built in the form of a tepee, I have seen only two igloos since I have been here and they were in Sachs Harbour on Banks Island about 200 miles out from the coast in the Arctic Ocean. One was used as a dog house and the other for storage of meat. The temperature was 54 below the day I was there last February and I really felt the cold right through my heavy clothes and my fur parka. Up in the plane it was only 10 below. Our temperature ranges generally from 10 to 35 below here, which is really not un- comfortable, if there is no wind and if you don't stay out too long. We have had a few tides on dog sleds but we are not too keen about this mode of travel. Half the time you have to get out and run to keep warm. Skidoos are worse. We have one to use but very seldom take it out. The long summer days last June were quite enjoyable. We often watched baseball games at midnight. Now, we don't see the sun at all but for a couple of hours at noon there is a bright twilight when you can see without lights. The sky was a bright reddish pink at noon today. We get maximum use out of our Christ- mas lights. "If you refuse me," he swore, "I shall die." She refused him. Sixty years later he died, Rev. G. L Fish evokes memories of Christmas past About forty members were present at the December meet- ing of the Women's Institute held Thursday in the council chambers with Mrs. Robert Powell in the chair. The cor- respondence and minutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary, Mrs. Charles Shiell. Humorous recollection: of "A Christmas I'll Always Remember" answered the roll call. Christmas carols were sung, and S5.00 was voted to the War Memorial Hospital in London. A minute of silence was observed in memory of the late Mrs. Gregory, who had been a member of the branch. Miss Agnes Williamson gave a reading, "If Christ had not come- what a world we would live in!" She concluded by saying, "Let's put Christ back into Christmas." After much discussion on the hospitalization coverage in nursing homes, particularly for the aged, it was decided to contact other Institute branches and see what could be done to improve the situation. Mrs. Mary McKinney intro- duced the guest speaker, Rev, G. L. Fish and he was thanked by Mrs. William Elston. Fond memories of the Christmas concert held in the one room country schools were revived by Mr. Fish. He said the sights, sounds and smells at Christmas, arouse sentiment. Mrs. Charles Shiell gave a splendid report on the 53rd an- nual convention held at the Carousel Motel in London which she had attended. Mrs. Alf Lockridge gave a report on the one-day rally she and Mrs. Roy Hastings attended in Crediton. Mrs. R. M. Shiell and Mrs. J. McGee sang a duet which was much enjoyed and after an exchange of Christmas gifts a tasty lunch was served. The hostesses were Mrs. Patterson, Mrs. Roy Hastings, Mrs. Mary Gal- braith and Mrs. Wellings. $1540 to the Bible Society The Wingham Branch of the Canadian Bible Society is pleased to announce that the total contributions for 1967 amounted to n, 540.

BELMORS-- The congrega- tion of Knox Presbyterian Church met in the church school room on Saturday even- ing for a congregational pot- luck supper, which was enjoyed by all. Following the supper, the children took part in a Sun- day School concert. Mrs. John Stokes and Mrs. Doug McPher- son's junior classes sang carols for their part in the program. Mrs. Bruce Darling's nursery class entertained with an action rhyme and were joined by Mrs. Don MacAdam's kindergarten class to sing " Away in a Man- ger", Mrs. Tom Inglis' primary class recited the Christmas story from the gospel of St. Luke, then sang two carols. The congregation also sang several carols along with the children. Sunday School super- intendent Arnold Jeffray, was chairman for the concert, Following the concert gifts were exchanged and awards for perfect &ttendance at Sun- day School were presented to these children: First year awards, Gweneth Dickson, Joan Dickson; 2nd year, Nancy Dickson, Vicki Jeffray, Wayne Ballagh; 3rd year, Ross Baird, Mary Dick- son; 4th year, Judy Dickson; 5th year, Donna Jeffray, Jeff- rey Dickson, Doreen Nickel, Paul Dickson, Glen Jeffray, Jane McPherson, John Leeson; 6th year; Nancy Ballagh, Twy- la Dickson, Douglas Baird, Special music at United Church Special Christmas music was presented in the United Church on Sunday morning and Rev. C.M. Jardine gave as his message, "God's gifts bring joy into life." Mrs. Donald Lloyd sang "Night of Nights" by Van de Water. The junior choir sang "Snowy Flakes are Softly Fall- ing" and Janet Haines sang a solo, "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day". The senior choir's anthem was "Let Carols Ring" by Black. Miss Iva Mai Smith, church organist and choir director, was in charge of the music. The hymns sung by the congre- gation were the familiar and well-loved Christmas hymns and carols.

The conveners were Mrs. A. Anstett and Mrs. Joe Redman. The next card party is Tues- day, January 2nd. Christmas Loaf In Greek Homes In Greek homes, special loaves of bread are baked for Christmas. Each loaf is mark- ed with a cross on the top and a silver coin is concealed within. Everything in the house is scented with frankincense, af- ter which the mother and fath- er take the special loaf of bread and break it into small pieces. The first section of bread goes either to St. Basil, the Holy Virgin, or to the patron saint whose coin is in the house. The second piece is for the house itself, a third goes to the domestic animals, a fourth is for inanimate property, while the remainder of the loaf is divided among the members of the family according to age. Each section of bread is dip- ped in wine, with the words spoken as eaten, "This is for our Grandfather, St, Basil". Whoever locates the silver coin will, it is believed, find good luck and prosperity during the following year. The money is always used to buy a candle for the church, In New York City, the Phlo- phos (Friends of the Poor Soci- ety) invites all people of Greek extraction front consul to the very poor, to partake of a meal. Upon this occasion, the loafof bread contains a five-dollar gold piece and is cut in the customary way, The table is not cleared af- ter the evening meal but is left in the hope that St. Basil may partake of the remains.
