CHRISTMAS
I watched a man and a little lad;
The man in truth was the laddies'
dad,
It was Santa time for girls and boys,
Counting their pennies, picking their
toys.
Holding him high so close to his
breast,
Looking the while at things he liked.
best,
And then he cried-Lookthere is
Santa,
We'll buy him,daddy Y - yes, ,
I
'wanta.'
Up to the front and then to the
back,
Bought him some candy, and crack-
erjack.
Love at its best, of that I was
.cer-
tain.
As I sat and mused behind the cur-
tain.
Who was it said Santa's just a fake,
Don't tell the kiddies, for goodness
sake,
He'll never know the joy to be had
At Christmas - when junior shops
with dad.

-port for 1948; some of the highlights
of which included the town's vital
statistics, population 1,071, births,

29: where was an increase of both

year. Causes of
29
deaths included
e
from heart disease, 19 stroke, S ac-
cident, 6 cancer. Hr. Brady stated that
garbage collection had. not been in-
stituted last year .chiefly through
lack of a proper dump; he strongly
recommended that garbage collection
be proceeded with as speedily as pos-
sible. There was no public health
nurse in Seaforth district last year
and as a result checking over pupils
in schools, etc., had not been done.
A mass survey for tuberculosis con-
trol was held when 1976 persons over
12 years were x-rayed, an estimated
60 per ebnt of the 3000 persons in the
district. No active' cases were dis-
covered. A monthly follow-up T -B
clinic at the hospital is attended by
an average of. four persons No cases
of V.D. were reported. The MOH had
examined water from four private
wells in townand all were class A.
He had macre 15 visits to the dairy
and 16 visits to prochucers....All sam-
ples taken of pasteurized milk were
entirely satisfactory.
Mayor Keating said ho understood
the new county health organization
will be in operation in July.
Before the report of the striking
committee was adopted appointing
standing committees for 1949, Cowl -
oilier Wallace Ross asked that a
special committee be appointed if
garbage collection is introduced:
"I don't want to bo the goat," he
said, and was assured that lite pr09
erty connntttee would not have to
take responsibility for garbage col-
lection.-
Mayor
ol-lection.-Mayor Keating suggested 'that u
copy of the rules governing the town
clump be posted up in the clerk's
office.
Councillor Close, chairman of street
committee, reported snowplowing
costs much below last year.
Discussion about the jurisdiction of
the provincial police ended with a
decision to get advice from the town
solicitor. There were complaints that
windows at the rink are being broken,
and also that high school pupils and
others are riding on the sidewalk on
Main street from the highway corner
down to the postofice.
Councillor Ross said double riding
on bicycles is also against the law.

of the work being done by the Salva-
tion. Arniy home in London, which
