"Fear not". Also the angel
when giving the news to
Mary said 'Fear not."
These two words have a
calming effect. Christmas is
for everyday of the year, it
should be part, of our lives
said Rev. Morden. Let us not
forget that life at its best is
short, we never have enough
time. Let us hope with the
conditions of the world at
this time that peace on earth
and good will to men can be
solved."

BY P. ARY ALDERSON
Big things are about to
happen. I can tell because
I've had two baths in the last
three weeks. You can always
tell there's some excitement
when you have more than
just your monthly bath.
Hi! I'm -Pepper, a black
and white springer spaniel.
A couple of years ago I
adopted - Mary and Victor
and moved in with them.
Whenever things get hectic
around here, I tell Mary I'll
look after writing her
column for her. It seems to
happen each year about this
time.
And, as I was saying, big
things are about to happen
here. First, they brought
that tree right smack-dab
into the middle of the living
room. Then they put all kinds
of parcels under it. Now, I'm
pretty sure that one of those
parcels is for me, because it
smells a lot like the chew
sticks that were wrapped up
under the tree for me last
year. But everytime I try to
unwrap this parcel to see if
it's for me, I get yelled at,
and told to leave it alone
until Christmas. But do they
give me a calendar? No. So
every day I have to pick up
the parcel and see if today is
Christmas day. One of these
days no one is going to yell at
me.
I'm all ready for Christ-
mas - like I said, I've had two
baths lately. If that doesn't
make you ready for a big
event, I don't know what
does.
You see, a bath at this time
of year is a major ordeal. In
the summer, it's no problem
at all - I just jump in the
river. I consider that a bath,
but Mary and Victor don't. I
don't see why they object to
the smell of a wet dog.
But evidently they do,
because they frequently give
me a bath in my little per-
sonal swimming pool - you
know the one - it's plastic,
and the sticker on it says
Canadian Tire.
This time of year, un-
fortunately, they expect me
to climb into that tub in the
bathroom. The bottom of it is
slanted and slippery - there's
nothing to dig your claws
into!
I just can't figure people
out. Sometimes, when one of
them is in the shower, I'll
stick my head under the
shower curtain to say good
morning. And what hap-
pens? I get yelled at and told
to go away. But next thing
you know, they want me to
climb right into that bath
. tub. Well, no way. They're
gonna have to put me in.
Which they usually do.
Now don't get me wrong = I
love water! But I like the
kind of water you can swim
in - rivers and lakes and
pools! Not warm stuff full of
soap bobbles.
But that's what I get - a tub
filled with Sunlight detergent
with the Water Pik Shower
Massage beating on my
back. Hard for a fellow to
maintain any dignity.
And things get worse.
After they're finished
soaping and rinsing with the
Sunlight, out comes the
Hartz Mountain Flea Soap.
Now that's a real insult - I
don't have parasites - when I
itch, I scratch; it's as simple
as that.
What makes the situation
even more embarrassing is
the fact that it takes two of
them to give me a bath.
Mary holds my collar while
Victor lathers my fur, and
then they switch.
After repeated soapings
and rinsings, and I'm just
about ready to take a bite out
of that Water Pik hose, they
let me climb out of the tub.
And get this, it takes five,
count 'em, five beach towels
to dry me. These aren't little
hand towels, and they're
certainly not those tiny
hairdressing towels, they're
not even bath towels, but big,
super huge beach towels.
Ones goes on the floor, and
two are immediately thrown
over me. Once they are
sopping wet, another two are
thrown over me. They
practically smother me, so a
fellow can't.. have a good
shake. So I stand there while
they rub and fluff me.
Sometimes they even get out
that blowdryer, but that's
when I bark and tell them
I've have enough. And I'm
usually able to hold off
shaking until I get in the
middle of the living room,
preferably near the coffee
table.
And again I get yelled at,
what an ordeal! Next, out
comes the big red ribbon,
and I'm expected to wear a
bow around my neck. A guy
isn't allowed any dignity.
But you know, all this
bathing and sprucing up may
be worth it. After all, it's a
sure sign that big things are
gonna happen. If I have just
one more bath, then I'll know
that I can unwrap that parcel
the next morning.
In any case, clean or not -
so -clean, I'm sure to have a
tail -wagging good Christ-
mas. Hope yours is, too.
season
the 1982 International
plowing match was
discussed. A coffee spoon
commemorating this event
was passed around. This will
be fol sale as a fund raiser;
also a letter was read
requesting accommodation
for visitors to the match.
Mrs. Charles McRobert
conducted two contests and
Mrs. Elsie Dann demon-
strated how to make finger
puppets for the children's
hospital as they are in great
demand.
The rest of the evening was
spent in filling the boxes of
cookies. There was a prize
for the most attractive box
which was won by Mrs.
Lewis.
C.G.I.T. Vesper service
The CGIT service, held
Sunday evening on the
United Church had a dif-
ferent format this year. The
theme was "Happy Easter!"
and then it's Christmas. "It
is to provide an opportunity
to show how Easter and
Christmas are linked
together. If there was no
Easter there would be no
Christmas. •
One of the elements of the
Easter faith is the emphasis
bn new beginnings. A
presentation by the CGIT
assisted by the Explorers
depicted three women of the
Bible whose contact with
Jesus brought on new
beginnings, they were the
woman with the bent over
back, the woman at the well
and the woman with two
much pride.
This service was in the
g
form of a responsive
reading. CGIT leaders were
Christine Currah, Joanne
Goos, Christine Jones,
Melissa Harding, Jennie
Anderson, Karen Hudson,
Heidi Hayden and Margaret
McGuffin. Explorers taking
part in the presentation were
Becky Bryan, Kaylene
Roloson, Tina Lansink,
Jackie Ketalaars, Corrie
Anderson and Kendall
Anderson.
A candle lighting
ceremony was performed by
the CGIT members with
leader Margaret McGuffin.
The leaders of these youth
groups are to be
congratulated for all their
work and time put into a
service like this. CGIT
leaders are Mrs. Robt
Harloff and • Mrs. Gordon
McRobert and Explorer
leader Julie McRobert.
Personals
The Granton Explorers
with their leader Julie
McRobert enjoyed an
evening of roller skating at
"The Wheels", London, and
later ate out at MacDonalds.
Parents helped to supply the
transportation.
I would like to take this
opportunity to thank those
who give me their news all
year and to extend seasons
greetings to our readers and
to the T.A. staff.
