Mr. and Mrs. Colin Gilfillan and Grant spent the week -end in Blyth and on Sunday visited with Mrs, The Seal of (]hristmas One of the first signs of Christmas is the arrival of Christmas Seals, which remind us that even in Canada, one of the half dozen countries in the world's lowest T.S. death rates, we still have to fight tuberculosis. Now we know there are those who object to the idea of Christmas being mixed up with dis- ease. They want all to be mirth and jollity. Well, mirth and jollity are wonderful. The catch is that they have to be arranged for a long way ahead. If we want all to be light and laughter, we must forestall the unhappy events that blight it so far as it's possible to do so. If the day before Christmas is an -average day as far as T.B. is concerned there will be ten deaths in Canada from this cause that day. It will have been the same, all through December. For the year the total has been about 4,000. That means many homes where there won't be much singing. Because these cases of tuberculosis were not prevented two, three, perhaps ten years ago this will not be a merry Christmas. Now is the time for us to prevent similar sadness two, three or five years from now. But let us look at the bright side of the pic- ture. There were twice as many homes sadden- ed by death from T.B. in Christmas of 1931 as there will be this Christmas. That means that thousands of families will be joyous, with never a thought that danger was averted. That's fine. That's the way Christmas should be. That's the way we want to make it for everyone. The Santa who looks at us from this year's Christmas Seal certainly looks merry enough— and well he may. He's on the Christmas Seals and they have teen paying for T.B. prevention which has made it possible for a great many people to feel mirthful and jolly. They will go right on preventing T.B. right here in Huron County. Our part is to buy them so that they will get a chance to keep up their good work. Last year the sale of Seals in the County of Huron amounted to $5,425.85, It is hoped that in 1951 sales will be much greater. The costs of the Association will be greater in 1951 because a County -wide mass X-ray survey to be conduct- ed. Support the Work of the Association By Buying Christmas Seals!

Blood for Business (By Joseph Lister Rutledge) Is it possible to concede that a man can be both profit -conscious and a sincere believer in the Christian concept of life? Time and again we hear this question. Time 'and again we are asked, as a re- cent questioner arcked: "Do you believe that the profit motive ,ayt,- tem can be Christianized?" This is the answer that we gave. We believe that, to most busi- nessmen, profits represent some- thing quite different from what they represent to their detractors. They represent not the jingle of I money or the accession of power. Perhaps it comes nearer to being the 'recognition of achievement— the ribbon to wear on the coat. We believe—and the dollar -a -year -men have already proved us right—that it would not be difficult to find a multitude of men who would work as cheerfully and devotedly, if they never saw a dollar in profits —just if that -accomplishment was there and paying off in some sort of coin. But no men—not even top execu- tives—are completely free. They are bound by the conditions and traditions of the operationin wthleh they are engaged. They must live— and their business with them—as life is lived, growing and enlarg- ing nlarging or slowly disintegrating and dying out into a bloodless corpse. For, however you may confuse or debase the word, profit is growth and life. It is the blood of busi- ness and, as the body drained of blood must surely die, so must the business that makes no profit. Suppose you were the employer of 1,000 men and were suddenly taken with the idea of operating without a profit—just for the love of the job. It might be very stim- ulating for you. But what of the others? What of the 1,000 men? What would happen to their jobs as machines grew older and more antiquated, and plants. deteriorat- ed? What of their dependents? And what of the public who have come to accept the integrity of your product, and must see it de- teriorate as the plant that produc- es it deteriorates? What of the oth- er public who have lent their sav- ings in confidence that they will be usefully and profitably employed? You must break faith with them, of course. And they are innocent parties. They are also you and me. For, through our banks or in- surance companies or welfare or- ganizations we all have our share. If people would atop thinking of profits as a sort of business blas- phemy. and think of what they are —the blood of business—the great force that bas made all our pro. gress possible, we might come to realize that they are already just as Christian as we who share them. Bed -Without -Supper Sending Junior to bed as a pun- ishment may cause him to develop a fear or dislike of ,bed that could create sleeping problems. Depriving him of a meal as a means of dis- cipline may have a more injurious effect upon his health than upon his conscience. A favorite, dessert or some special treat that le not an essential food mays be taken away as' pulttlsli neat, but cutting down on the foods necessary to maintain, the growing body won't improve discipline and it may help to lower resistance to disease. One Of the Gang A child needs love, security and a feeling of belonging to his family and his friends. If he is, dressed or made to behave differently from the other children in hisf neighbor- hood, eighborhood, be may become self-conscious and shy. Children like to feel that they are one of the crowd, accept- ed by their friends and school- mates. The normal youngster isn't an individualist by choice.
