CROSSROADS
(By JAMES SCOTT)
You Can't Tell a Woman Anything
I was in the city last Saturday
and. like everybody else these
days. decided to take a walk
through the stores to see what
they looked like for Christmas. A
friend of mine was with me. a
pretty hardy gent who has been
in the newspaper business for a
long time covering fires, floods.
bank robberies and a couple of
wars. Not exactly a tender plant.
Well. sir. we were pushed and
shoved and pulled and stepped on
until I was about ready to cry for
mercy. So was my friend. When
we finally got into a quiet corner
near the men's washroom, he
shook his head and said, "There
isn't anything like a woman shop-
per.is there? If we eller have an-
other war. what the Minister of
Defence oughtto do is conscript
all the women shoppers in this
country and put them in the army.
Whoever we're fighting wouldn't
have a chance."
You know there is quite a lot in
what he said. For certain. once a
woman really sets her mind on any-
thing, she's going to get it, no
matter how you reason with her
or try to b'hlly or cajole her, she
just won't plain be moved until
she gets her own way.
You think I'm talking like a pre-
judiced male? Well, I've got his-
tory on my side to prove I'm right.
Take the case of Lady Macdon-
ald, old Sir John A.'s second wife.
I bet you never heard about her.
I suppose of all the things old
Sir John A. ever tried to do, the
building of the C.P.R. was closer
to his heart than any other, and
after the line was finally put
through to British Columbia= -and
not many believed it ever would
get there --one of the things he
wanted to do was have a ride on it
all the way across the country.
The railway, of ''burse, 'was only
too ready ,to oblige—after all,, if
14,1
Sir John hadn't got the govern-
ment to back them they wouldn't
have been in business—so they
hitched on their most special coach
and then they made up an extra
special train and the Prime Minis-
ter and his party set out to make
the trip in style.
Everything went well until they
reached Calgary and then they
ran into trouble—not with the line
or the engine or the coaches or
the crew, but with Lady Macdon-
ald. Don't ask me why, nobody
knew then., and to this day nobody
knows why, but in Calgary Lady
Macdonald, the wife of the Prime
Minister of Canada. suddenly took
it into her head that she wanted
to make the rest of the journey
through the Rockies and to the
coast riding on the cowcatcher of
the engine.
Everybody tried -to reason with
her—Sir John A., the Superintend-
ent of the Railway, the engineer,
the other members of the party,
and the crew. But the lady had
made up her mind and she knew
what she Wanted. She wanted to
ride on the cowcatcher of the en-
gine.
Well, -I guess you know who won.
From Calgary on, sitting on an
upturned candle box she had found
in the Calgary station, Lady Mac-
donald rode on the cowcatcher,
wrapped in a linen duster, her felt
hat pulled well down over her
eyes.
Evenwhen the train approached
a forest fire, she would not give in.
The engineer got up steam and
dashed throtigh the blaze. Lady
Macdonald remained where she
had made up her mind to be.
Well, there it is. There's no
telling about a- lady. So what
chance has any mere male Shop-
per against a horde of females
who know what they wapt and are
determined to _get it7•- Not a

Children love a birthday party!
After being scrubbed until their
faces shine, they start out, little
girls with their frilly dresses, lit-
tle boys with their hair all slicked
back looking for all the world like
the cherubs they are not. They
refuse to start for the party
though, until they have their pres-
ents. They must be nicely gift
wrapped too.
Children enjoy giving presents as
much as they enjoy receiving
them. They have not yet become
sophisticated. They are as natur-
al as can be. At Christmas -time
adults become children again.
They take off their wrappings and
unashamed do the natural child-
like things. Looking for appropri-
ate gifts becomes a national pas-
sion. We get a lot of honest -to -
goodness fun making other people
happy, and by giving gifts to all
sorts of good causes as well as to
our friends.
Christmas is the time of the year
when we can be supremely hap-
py. It commemorates the great
event in history, the birth of the
founder of Christianity. It is a
birthday holiday, and a time When
the -child spirit reigns supreme.
Through the years certain cus-
oms, practices and goings-on
which have no connection with
Christmas have in the public mind
become associated with its cele-
bration. These have often obscur-
ad the real meaning cIf the Holy
Day. But more and more, thought -
men and women are coming to
realize the religious significance
of the celebration. Make Christ-
mas Christian. Be careful of your
habits, avoid all extravagances.
Cut out all drinking. Drinking is
dangerous and might easily be the
cause of unhappiness and sorrow.
What a Christmas for the family
if the father and mother are sleep -

New Reeve For Brussels
Approximately 90 per cent of
those eligible cast their votes in
the municipal election here on
Monday. J. H. Streeton. a member
of the council since the last elec-
tion in 1952, was the successful
candidate for reeve, defeating R.
B. Cousins, who has completed 10
years of service as reeve of Brus-
sels. Apparently a majority want-
ed a change of municipal officers.
for only two 'of the former council-
lors, G. E. McCutcheon and Sam
Workman, were returned, with two
newcomers. H. Pearson and W.
Williamson being elected. H. Fisch-
er, who has served before. with
R. Elliott and L. Ebel, first-time
candidates, were defeated for the
School Board. Mr. Streeton, the
new reeve of Brussels, is a native
born son. He has served as an
elected member of the council for
the past three, years. It is to the
credit of our citizens that, while
other municipalities polled such
small votes, some as low as 20
per cent, interest was shown here
in local • government by such a
splendid number—Brussels Post.

the birth of an idea. Peace, ' the
