Twinshield Girls Eilene and Elaine Hellnke face photograph- er's bright lights to demonstrate new windshield glass (right) wlfich cuts clown usual bright glare. (left), A glassmaker has conte up with a new automobile windshield glass that will take some of the sting out of the glaring headlights of on- coming cars, Since "scaled beam" headlights were developed some years back, the average car's main lights have been so dazzling they ar enearly been so dazzling they are nearly fists and often a serious danger on the roads, To meet this problem at least part ' way, a glass firm has produced a rew glare -reducing safety plate glass for windshields, It has a slight bluish -green tint, Iron added to the raw material mixture largely does the trick. , The new glass has been road- tested and has been found to cut glare materially, whether from head- lights or the sun. No claim is made, however ,that the product will do too much toward protecting a driv- er's eyes from the direct rays 1of a rising or setting • sun. * •* * Drivers who have used the glass say they don't particularly care any more whether oncoming cars at night dim their headlights or not,. They say the tinted windshield soft- ens the glare considerably, Regular windshield glass allows 88 per cent of available light to pass through. The new product lowers this figure to 82 per cent, That is Pk0 ,ASixaITC • just four per cent above the mini- munm demanded by state laws for safety's sake. Th,e new glass has • a second fea- ture -it blocks about 15 per cent of the sun's heat -producing infra- red rays, Not too many may realize that doctors believe actual physical dam- age is done to the eyes by the direct rays of bright headlights, And ac- cording to the . Automobile Club, such glare can cause temporary blindness for as long as three sec- onds, ' *,* * The National Safety Council says the high beans most drivers use on the roads constitute a major difficul- ty in night driving safety. "Annoy- ance due to glare is frequent in many accidents," it adds. Connecticut found that in one year 3.5 per cent of its highway mishaps could be ascribed directly to blinding headlights. Illinois' re- corded a figure of around three per cent, and Minnesota and New Jer- sey of about two per cent. Most other states lumped these accidents with others caused by different kinds of obstructed -vision. Educating drivers to depress their high beams when approaching other cars on the road is a slow business, and police enforcement of provincial and city,,laws to that effect is al- most impossible, There are too many violators. The question of Sunday sport is much to the fore again, especially in and around the fair metropolis of Toronto, where the natives seem to take almost everything with a large pinch of seriousness, and es- pecially their hockey team and their Sabbath, * * * Our personale opinion on this highly controversial matter is greatly akin to that of the yokel who had been appointed a Justice of the Peace, and who was hearing his first court case, About half way through the prosecuting at- torney's opening speech the J.P.. raised his hand. "That's enough," he shouted _"I don't need to hear • any more. Prosecution wins!" * * * It was gently pointed out to -hint that such conduct wasn't strictly according to Hoyle=that he must at least listen to the other side. "All right; go ahead if you've a mind to," said His Honour, "but it won't do ye a mite of good." * * * So the defense lawyer tore into a most impassioned speech; and after he had been orating for about five minutes, again came the cry from the Bench :to halt, "If this don't beat aitch, folks," quoth the Justice. "Now I'm blamed if it isn't defense that wine. Prisoner acquitted!" ► * * Well, as we started to tell you, that is just about our position on the matter of Sunday sports—to be or not to be, What we think about it so largely depends on which side we've been hearing last that, we just cannot come to any definite decision, Old Omar Khay- yam put It all a lot more 'heady than we can ever hope todo when he wrote: "Myself, when young, did eagerly frequent Doctor and Saint, and heard great argument About it and about; but evermore Cance out by the same door where in f went." * i * Change "Doctor;' to"Sport" and that expresses our sentiments about the rights and wrongs of Sunday Sports to a "T"; But if you think that our admitted utter ignorance of the question is going to prevent us writing about It at some further. length, you're greatly mistaken. * In the beginning; we might ex plain that we are hardly what yon might call a rabid enthusiast on the matter, of church attendance. In fact outside pf Funerals and Weddings we have been so seldom to church in the last quarter ten- tury or so that we have almost forgotten whether you need a pass- word and secret grip in order to be admitted, although the chances are it's The Mystic Knights of the Sea we're thinking of, n * * We have also a deep feeling of sympathy for those who are stuck in a crowded flat or in a couple of stuffy rooms, with neither the price or means of transportation to reach tlic more wide open spaces, and nothing to do over the long week -end but fight with the wife over whether , to listen to Jack {jenny or Chamber Music on the radio, or bawl out the kids for making too much noise when you want to have a snooze. * * * There is no doubt that a lot of such unfortunates might .be much happier in Churcn or Sunday School -but the fact remains that • they don't think so, and 'all the Blue` Laws ever ' written aren't going to convince then! otherwise, * * * Arid when we think of such people, we are convinced that some stretching of the tight Sabbath statutes might be all to the good. But, as the lady said about ` the girdle, once it starts stretching, you never know when it's going to stop. And ifyou think that if, for example, Sunday baseball is allowed, the moving picture mag- nates are going to be satisfied to have their cash -registers silent— well, you have a faith in human nature that is greater than ours, * * *. Right there, it scents, is the crux of the matter; There are undoubt- edly those whose advocacy of a more open Sunday is absolutely unselfish—who fight for it because they believe they would be bring- ing happiness -to, a great many Canadians, young ++ and old. * . $ * The trouble is that these altru- istic souls are so few In compal-Ison with those whose motives are sot quite so pure and unselfish --those who believe, although they would dotsbtlese deny it indignantly, that a more open Sunday would mean- well, to put it baldly, more shekels in the till. * * * You don't believe this is so: Then, as we have said before, let's put it this way. If the Government —Federal, Provincial • or Civic-- should ivic-should propose _legislation' making the Sabbath as wide open is, tin Grand Canyon, but with the pro viso that ALL RECEIPTS FROi+1 'THAT EXTRA SUNDAY BUS1• NESS, WITIiOUT E X C E P TION, !tWST GO TO CHAR 1TYs just how long do you think The Canadian National Exhibi• tion, ever since reopening, has been coming in for some sharp criticism because its purely spectacular fes- tures-such as the Olsen -Johnson Grand Stand performance — are played up much more strongly than its exhibits of manufactures, farm products and so forth, *.r * * * . Along the. sante line, there are many folks who think' that the Royal Winter Fair is in danger of becoming more or less of a background for the Horse Show and "sassiety" stuff, This feeling was strengthened by what hap- pened at the Royal just a few weeks ago. * * The grand championship live- stock sale at the Royal Winter Fair-sas an editorial in the' Tor, onto Globe and Mail—should be considered, not as an isolated in:: cident, . but as a vital part of - the exhibition •...scene.The auction is normally the climax of the "R$y- al." This week, it , carne near to being an anti -climax, so far as the public was conicerned, Previ- ously it had been held in the Coli- seum before potential audiences of 10,000. This year it was held ,ln a smaller ring with room for only about 1,0Q0, spectators, And that raises the question of the plain reason for holding the Royal Win- ter Fair, *. * * In defense of this year's• decision, Fair officials have said that auction. buyers and sellers had asked ',for a smaller ring. Whatever the merits of this argument, we think it over- looks' a major purpose of the: Fair as a public institution, Its objec- tive should be to show the people its triumphs, of which livestock are naturally the most spectacular ele• men!. The Fair began, and has Progressed, as a place where the' country's best could be exhibited to In admiring audience; the na- tion's aristocrats of the barns, the finest fruits of the land, the clever- est of the people's handicrafts-- varied results of man's immemorial spirit of competition, * * * Endowed with this distinction by the public's interest, trust and:, money, the Fair has a national duty to people everywhere who look tc it for leadership, for standards of excellence, and for th'e appropriate rewards of those who pass the final tests through their skill and. perseverance. Like all honors, the' blue ribbon gains attractiveness" through its material value, epito- mized in the grand parade of the champions, This, in the spirit of it would take for all this talk about "the poor Blue -Law -bound unfort- unates" to die down to utter sit- ence? You'll have to figure- out the answer to that one yourself, Our stop -watch only splits seconds into tenths. * * * Now, changing the subject briefly, here's a parting thought for the day, That great publicity genius, Conn Smythe, undoubtedly got a million dollars worth •of free advertising for his hockey team, and did the grapefruit and slimming -diet trade a heap of good, with his recent "You're too fat for me" outburst, But we can't help wondering what the makers of ` that syrup, cereal and all the other strength -giving foods the Maple Leafs use so lavish- ly, are thinking about it all. Maybe the Reporter's Jealous "The couple was married at high noon at the Rose Hill Baptist church. After the ceremony the couple left for a grief wedding ,trip," --from Atlanta Journal: • "My little boy is very polite," said Brown, jovially, "Only' the other night in the bus he pointed out an empty seat to a dear old lady and raced her for It," the Fair, should be the climax, the accolade which gives thrill and dto tgnificane oont* petItlonrama The resisultantee r seicna- {orally has no relation to the butcher shop value of the meal It has .a more human mainspring, It symbolizes the public realiza- tion of a trjumph. `• * * * The blue ribbon function thus becomes, or should become, the very fruition of people's hopes and aims.. If it is to be relegated to sideshow status, as something to be got over quickly, what has be conic of the ideal of the Fair itself? What is the final thrill to the winner, and where is his in- centive to conteagain and taste the wine of victory? Where, for that matter, is the incentive of the buyfr thus .deprived of public ap- plause? The ' Royal Winter, Fair directors , will be well advised to ponder these things and to' keep educational a nd entertainment values in : proper reldtion, Funda- mental purposes come first, * * * And pow, here's something: that might be of interest to a lot of you 'poultry raisers -- the brief story of how Charles`Schaefer, out in Lafayette County, solves two conunon problems at once with his combination garden and chicken yard, By switching chickens and vege- tables ,every year, he has clean ground for his poultry flock, .and a fairly weed -free, 1velI-fertilized plot for the family garden. Here'a how he does it: Next to the poultry house Schae- fer laid:` out two equal -size plots, and fenced them' both in. While his chickens pasture in rye crop or, sedan grass on one plot, the family table • garden thrives on the ,other, The follow- ing year the hens roans over last year's garden area, and the vege- tables grow on last year's poultry plot, * * * In the fall, Schaefer spreads 4- 12.4 plant food at the rate of about 200 lbs. per acre over both plots, and seeds both to rye, / * * He plows the rye under on the' plot to be used for garden in early spring, but lets it grow on the other plot, The rye adds humus to the gar- den side and oh the poultry side it provides green feed and helps keep tweeds from getting a Cart. In spring the Schaefers often sow a part of the poultry lot to sedan grass. It makes late summer pas- ture for the hens after the rye has natured, * * * The -hens take such good care of the weeds in their yard that the garden is practically weedless the next year, _ The Schaefers plant their vege tables in rows on the contour, both to conserve soil moisture and pre- vent washing, The rows are wide enough to cultivate with a farm tractor and field equipment—a real time-saver, * * * "We've used this systemfor five years now, and we wouldn't think of going back to having just a one - acre garden," says Schaefer, "It's good for the garden --and it's good for the poultry flock, too," • Schaefer points out that great many farms have suitable space for this kind of arrangement. It's Just a Matte- 'lying It out acid tatting In fences.;, This eons,, on garden and poultry rotation system is now recommended to farmers by the local college of agriculture, • So why don't you look around the place a little?

When we think of Christmas, we think/ of the pictures you see on Christmas cards of (louses almost buried in snow, candles burning in windows, and carolers grouped around a doorway, singing with all their hearts to the distant peal of church hells, Christmas must have been picturesque in those days, no automobiles whizzing by, just the merry jingle of sleigh bells. . "Harks, the Herald Angels Sing" was written i,n . 1730 try Charles Wesley, younger brother of John Wesley, who founded the Methodist denomination, but was' not pub- lished until 1856. Inspiration • for the poem carte .to Wesley :as he walked to • church. one Christmas morning. Bishop Phillip 'Brooks, rector of the Holy Trinity Church in Phila- delphia, was asked by his Sunday school. children to write a Christ- mas song, 'so in 1868, he produced "Oh Little- Town of Bethlehem." After writing the hymn, he went to the church organist and asked hint to furnish a tune, The organ - tat, Lewis H. Redner, says the air came to hint ill a Christmas dreamt, and it was finished for the next day's services. Origin of "Silent Night" But most beloved of all Christ- mas music is "Silent Night, Holy Night," written, we are told, by Father Josef Mohr, who found hitnself without means of musle for the Christmas services because mice had eaten the bellows of the Church organ,' Father Josef was greatly troubled over' the calamity, end as he returned from adminis- tering rites to a dying woman, he stood on a hilltop, at tnidnight, and it catne to him that it must have been just such; a silent night that the Christ child was born, so he went hone and contposed•bhe words to our famous Christmas hymn, Then, of 'course, it' needed musk, so he went to his old schoolmaster, Franz' Gruber.'Atid so Franz played his guitar and Father Josef sang a Christmas hymn that will never die. Few think of this' lovely hymn without remembering how we once watched our radio dial at Christmas time for its rendition by one of the most beloved, of singers," Mme, Schumann-Hcink, Oh, those were days of simplicity when rectors, casting about for suitable Christmas programs turned poets, and organists turned com- posers to furnish the music, music that goes on forever! . They would, Indeed, be gratified., if they could hear our present-day Christmas programs, pouring out of a little, cabinet In the corner, their labors of love have come a long way front that steel guitar and a gentle voice replacing a nibbled bellows,.they'd be \. surprised to learn teir flock now does its Christmas shopping to their in- spirational tunes, SAME OLD SANTA • *Satre old Santa, swine old joys, Satite..old-dolls and sleds and toys; Sante old holly, Same old tree, Saute old gifts for cherubs wee; Saute old carol, sante old. light, Sante old stockings Ifung""at night; Sante old words of merry cheer, Same good wishes for the year.

The earliest celebration of the birth of Christ, on December 25 of each year, took place ki the fourth century, and the custom spread front the Western to the Eastern Church, Before that date, the cotn- memoration of Christ's Nativity and Baptista was held on January 6. The first mention of Christmas is found in a Roman docutnent known as' the "Philocalian Calendar," in the year 354, and the first time the festival ' was celebrated in Britain was itt 598, when St. Augustine baptized 10,000 converts. . In the year '567, the Council of Tours declared a 12 -day festival from Christina! to Epiphany, and later-991-1016—the laws of Ethel- red ordained that all strife should cease at Christmas. In Germany, Christmas was established in 813 by the Synod of Mainz, and in Nor• way by King Hakon the. Good, in the year 950.

CHESTERTON A Visit' From St. Nicholas 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, nab even a mouse; The stockings were hung by. the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all sung in their beds, While visions of sugar -plums danced in their heads; And mamma in her 'kerchief, and 1 in my cap, Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap, When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the natter. Away to the window 1 flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash, The moon on the breast of the new -fallen snow Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below, When, what to my wondering eyes should appear. But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer, With a little old driver, so lively and quick, 1 knew in a moment it must he St. Nick. More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called thew by name; "Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! on Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen! To the top of the porch! to the top of the want , Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!" As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky, So up to the house -top the coursers they flew, With the sleigh full of toys, and St, Nicholas too, And then, in a twinkling, 1 heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each littler hoof. As 1. drew in my head, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. He was dressed alt in fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot; A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack, His eyes—how they twinkledl his dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow; The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke it encircled his head.like a wreath; He had a broad face and a little round belly, That shook, when he *laughed, like a bowlful of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And 1 laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself; A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to knoW 1 had nothing to dread; He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose; He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a,whielh, And away they all flew like the down of a thlatle. But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of Might, "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good -night."' $ Clement Clarke Moore [li79.1863f The Christmas Story OW when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, be- hold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem. Saying, Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him, When Herod the king had heard these things he was troubled; and all Jerusalem with hiin. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, , he demanded of them where Christ should be born.

Willett-Cunnington can 'take 'the subject seriously, He Is an expert on women's dress and recently gave an authoritative radio discourse on hats, Until the mid - sixteenth century, women's hats Indicated social position; after that their chief aim was to emphasize personality. The "subtle hat lang- uage of women" demanded a vast range of materials, and Dr. Cun- nington said that in the Last couple of centuries, "women have clapped on their heads the contents of the botanical gardens, together with much of the zoo—flowers, vege- tables, birds, birds' nests complete with eggs, snakes, scorpions, blue- bottles, dragon' flies, cockchafers, stuffed kittens, bits of rabbit, foxes and other beasts of prey," But in all this bewildering variety of head gear, there have been two bask types; one echoing the message o" the dress, the other adding a post- script to it. In the middlt of the s;xteentr century, the hair, hitherto almost totally concealed, escaped from cap• tivity and, ever since, has co. operated with headgear. for at Least 100 years, the hair, and not the hat, was what mattered Pres ently, ladiesbegan to wear tower ing caps indoors and flat hats out- side. Hair, reinforced with all man- ner of pads and articticial tresses, mounted higher and higher until. instead of a cap, they decorated this hirsute mountain with such ornaments as a postchaise and horses of glass or a ship in full sail.

They became enorm- ous, and in the evening, ladies, anxious for height, wore tall feath- ers that served as signposts, All through the Napoleonic wars, hats were, in the ascendant, The post- war years were exuberently roman- tic and brought back enormous hats trimmed with anything up to 120 feet of gaily colored ribbon and a profusion of decoration, Coal scuttle bonnets then appeared, and at dinner, ladies of fashion wore ► civet berets as Targe as tea trays, sa that a gentleman seated between 4 two of them complained that he caught only an occasional glimpse of his plate. 'These wayward and high-spirited modes gave place to the 1'ictorian bonnet which gripped t1;e nape of the neck so tightly that ruse movements of the head were checked; It also shielded the cheek so that the modest woman had per torce to look straight ahead, After the Crimean War, emanci- pation was in the air. Daring young ladies abandoned the bonnet and tcok to the faster hat which al- lowed them a broader .view of the world. And then the fruit and vege- table vogue began again and the stuffed bird -came into its own, Not only wings and tails, but whole birds were planted on hats, over- burdening the wearers with a wealth of ornithological upholstery. Hats swept onward 'triumphantly until in the early nineteen hundreds they became overwhelmingly big,' Millinery was aggressive, too, and pinned to the head by large hatpins which stuck out like skewers, The First World War swept all this nonsense away and after it, women emerged with short hair and the famous cloche hat. During the Second World War, they tied their hair in mediaeval kerchiefs, Now hats are "in" again, still - a trifle undecided as to what they will be, but, said Dr. Cunnington, "It is no longer the hat or the hair that matters most; it is the s.,rt of head that women will decide to have, or rather, the use she means to put it to." Helpful 'Hints For Busy Women One of the handiest tools in my kitchen was once a long -handled, two-pronged fork. My husband turned it into Wry jack -of -all -work by bending both prongs up 90 de- grees, about an inch front the points. I use it every day for pulling hot pans of food—roasts, cakes, Laked, potatoes from the oven, (It has -saved the front any number of burets and blisters.) And I've found the gadget ever so handy for reach- ing hard -to -get articles on high shelves and behind furniture; for catching the beta of a window shade that has slipped out of reach; and for picking up articles from the floor when stooping is difficult, It's a real effort -saver, « * * Dust off the old-fashioned glass. front bookcase and add it to your closet equipment, for storing your bats, shoes, and best gloves.

Spread each cake lightly into a circle, Cook on one side until puffed, full of bubbles and cooked on the edges. Then cook on the othei side.

GARDNER STRESSES STABILITY OF CANADA'S ECONOMY — RETURN TO COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS . Gordon Ball, General Manager, Reports Resources at Over Two Billion -- Savings Deposits Highest in History -- Loans at Record Level It C. Gardner, president of the Bank of Montreal,- told shareholders at the recent 132nd annual meeting that the broad Canadian trend seemed to be toward a closer balance in trade with "our nearest neighbour" and a contraction of exports to "important and traditional overseas markets," In Canada, price influences had :achieved "sombthingg� approaching a M balance of forces," r. Gardner ob- served. The balance, .however; was precarious and could easily be tipped in either direction. The accumulated • demand arising: out- of wartime .shortages "has pretty well spent its force," Competition, efficiency, dual- ity and salesmanship were regaining, their normal place, But the most noteworthy feature of the Canadian business trend was its, relative stability, compared with developments int the United States, the president stated, Offsetting re- cessive influences in large part, "we have a vigorous program of indus- trial expansion. Gaining self-confi- dence and "know, -how" as an indus- trial nation,"we are 're -discovering our own, frontier" in natural re- sources.'

Luke 2:14. The . Book of Isaiah has some- times been called the fifth gospel because it gives such a vivid port- rait of Christ, Some have felt that Isaiah taught that the Messianic age would be a human achievement rather than the result of the com- ing of a Divine personality, The great light would be the fruit of man's advance in science, But to- day's lesson clearly links the golden age with a Divine person, Who, other than God's Son, could be called "Wonderful, Counsellor,' The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace"? Isaiah saw with great clarity that the hope of the world lay not in man, but in One Whom God would give to its from Himself. Here was One Whose Kingdom would never falter, but would ever increase. His Kingdom would not be carved out by a .sword or achieved by atomic weapons. His is a Kingdom of righteousness and peace, It will rot be biased in favor of the rich, Oppression of the poor will cease and He will champion the cause of the meek. The wicked., shall be overthrown. Well may we pray, "Thy Kingdom come," The kingdom is already here in a measure. There are many lives into which Jesus Christ has entered, These have peace, glorify God, and have good will towards men. But the world's ills—and they are many -�witl only be righted when all shall own Him as Lord, That day is nearer than ever before, Jesus Christ, Who was despised and re- jected of men, will ultimately triumph and His Kingdom shall prevail over all.
