Hundreds of miles from the din of smoky towns and the hectic traffic of busy streets, lies a winter wonderland where Christmas trees grow in countless numbers. It is Canada's number one natural resource, the rich pulpwood forest where in hundreds of depots and thousands of camps, no decorations are needed to give a, Christmas atmo_phere. At left, in the stillness of Holy Night, a, depot glistens with sparkling lights as pulpwood workers prepare for their Midnight Ser- vice, while at right Santa thanks a plow driver who has brought him to the camp. From these camps, in the heart of the nation's managed woodlands, comes the f'� wood harvest that, when converted into pulp and paper, becomes Canada's leading export.

But I managed - to limp around well enough to get the dinner and do the dishes, while the culture vul- tures in the family were doing their music' iessons..About ten p.m. I sat down to write my column and was found there, head on the typewriter, sound asleep and noth- ing writtgn, at 4 a.m., by the Old Lady, who blasted me for not get- ting enough rest. :' * :t Monday was much the same, the cosmopolitan crowd in the family arriving home after dark, from tffeir music lessons,. sitting down If people tried to go at the same to the dinner I'd prepared, and clip during the rest of the year as waving fondly to me, their cheeks they do in the few weeks before stued wih venison steak, as dasffhed t off to a meeting, apologiz- ing because 1 hadn't time to help with the dishes. * ;:* * I know of at least ten assorted Christmas concerts, Christmas parties, bazaars And teas in the next W ek� ,or so.

It used to be bad enough, but the kids are growing up and turn- ing into the social butterflies that all children seem to become nowa- days, as soon as they emerge from the bib and pablum stage. r , I'll' give you a small run-down, and you'll understand why I'm not even too sure what my family looks like any more. Take Saturday. Hugh had to be at the rink for hockey before I was out of bed. When I . got home at noon, my wife had been making candy for a bazaar or something and it hadn't turned out, so she and ,the kids were eating it. The Santa Claus parade was at 1.00, so we just had time to run for it, after I'd done the dishes, and they'd all got dressed. As soon as the parade was over, ply wife had to go to a tea, so I fixed Kim up with a boyfriontjor a couple of hours playing at his house, before they went to the late matinee for the town kids. Then 1 had to drivg Hugh and five other boys to their dancing lesson, three miles. They had to he picked' up in an hour and dropped at the :low.

Problem Faces Separate School There is a strong possibility that the members of the 1958 Goderich Separate Schooloard will have to consider means of increasing the school's accommodation. Enrolment was 131 in September but has now risen to 143, says W. A. Coulthurst, secretary -treasurer of the board. These 143 pupils are housed in four rooms at pre- sent. A survey is being made in an effort to determine the number, of students who will probably enrol r the 1958-59 term. The annual meeting of the separ- ate school ratepayers will be held in the school on Friday, December 27, at 8 p.m. There are eight trustees, with four elected each year for two- year terms. Trustees whose terms expire this year are Leo Chisholm, Norman Boyle, J. E. Baechler and Joseph O'Brien. Nominations and elections are held right at the annual ratepayers' meeting. The four other trustees, who still. have one year left in their two- year terms, are Chairman Leo Wal- zak ,Wilfred Kinahan; T. J. Dren- unan and Leslie Pitblado. O O o Quality has everything in its favor including the price. Prayerfully, joyfully, we greet Christmas. May the Christ Child's message of love and hope gladdeg your heart and enrich your life.
