The main topic of the even-
ing, "Christmas in Other Lands"
was ' given by Mrs. Leonard
Redges. A very interesting talk
was given by Mrs. Rodges on the
customs on Belgium, Germany,
France, Holland, Siberia, Italy,
Switzerland and Canada. Such
customs a.e candle -lighting, burn-
ing of Yule logs and baking of
various cakes to symbolize their
respective beliefs were men-
tioned.
Most countries have carol sing-
ing, likewise they all participate
in the great feasts; the gaily -
trimmed Christmas tree originat-
ed in Germany; the greeting,
"Merry Christmas" so often
heard in Canada and Britain is
replaced in other lands by "Christ
is Born." Let us, in whatever
country we live, keep in our
hearts the spirit of that Christ-
mas message the angels sang
above Bethlehem hills, and for
which the whole world listens
still, "On earth, Peace, Good -will
to all men,"

Junior Turnip Club
Holds Achievement
"Turnip growers should strive
to place before the consumer a
product which they will be eager
to buy, rather than one which
they take when they can't get
anything better," R. E. Goodin,

Branch, Department of Agricul-
ture, Toronto, declared at the

year's chub would be even more
successful,
R. ts. Bennett, Clinton, agri-
cultural representative, acted as
master of ceremonies for the
evening, which included a trip to
the Exeter Rutabaga Company,
a project which has recently been
set in operation in the area and

one of the largest vegetable
storage and packaging establish-
ments of its kind in the country,

tended by junior and senior
