rho matin tips that MY** used to tnakc
to my grandparents home cit of Toronto On
Christmas Eve.
.ltiavellingto Grandma's b6use on Christ=
Dues was Always exciting. We would pack the
presents, luggage, food and any other
goodies that we had to take with us. Into the
cat and we would be on our way. Dad would
always drive, with Mom beside him, the dog
at her feet and the three of us kids in the
back seat. Often we would sing Christmas
carols in the car or play games on the way to
my uncle's home in Cambridge. There, we
would enjoy Christmas dinner, exchange
gifts and be on our way to Grandma's Mouse
once more.
Travelling along the 401 we would listen
anxiously to the Chrishnas Eve report of a
UFO circling throughout Ontario driven by
reindeer. The car radio provided us with -
plenty of Christmas music and Christmas
cheer. Finally, once we had arrived at
Grandma's house, we visited with our
cousins and quickly were tucked into bed
before Santa Claus made his visit' Our
Christmases were the same as most people's
but we really did count 013 the highways
being dear; and safe and the weather being
good. Our family always enjoyed the safe
trip to my grandparent's home.
Unfortunately, nine years ago our annual
Christmas Eve trip was not as safe as the
other ones we had remembered. On the 401
in 1974 there was an awful accident in which
two. lives could have easily beat taken.
baa pair fatally wain not hat' +ed in lila
pa t � t,- ae wiitnosacd: the
me very! muclf, involved.
Althoa no lives .wAden aken that tight,
bothdrivers Involved were lnjtred and went
through extensive, treatment over that
Christmas holiday.The driver of t w .
aline. travelling on her one car was a Y why
home for Christmas. The other driver had
been ata Christmas party earlier where he
enjoyed too much Christmas cheer. He was
travelling east in the westbound in the
eastbound lane. Other cars managed to
dodge this hazard, but the young nurse was
pot as fortunate. That' terrible accident
affected a lot of lives that Christmas.
Since then, our family . has always
travelled to -my grandparents home on
Christmas Day in the daylight. We feel much
safer then. It is really too bad, but because
some people choose to drink on Christmas
Eve and then drive, they endanger other
people's lives.
I am not against enjoying a drink with
relatives or friends at Chnshnas, or any
other time for that matte. However, people
must be able to control themselves when
they are drinking and nit drink over their
limit If one person was to drink too much on
Christmas Eve and then attempt to drive
home half an hour later, he could endanger
the lives of hundreds of others and himself
once he putt the key in the ignition.
This is an awful hazard at any time of year
but at Christmas it • is especially wrong to
drive on the highways if you have been
drinking or if you are drunk. All adults are

The Wall reports ' to Santa
I've Veen keeping my eyes open for bad
little girls and boys these past few weeks.
You see, 1 have an inside line with Santa,
and I give him my personal reports every
year -
Unfortunately, this year as all years, there
are those very few people who just can't help
but be bad..ln order to save these people
embarrassment, which I may say isnot my
usual policy, I am withholding names.
Usually they don't get caught. but this
year Santa had The Wall looking out for him,
and the Wall knows all, as many people tend
to forget from time to time.
Well kids, as my Christmas gift to you, 1
would just like to wish everyone a very safe
hopda! aholidand a very happy New Year! (not too
See you alt next year!!

Well, jt looks like Santa just (night make it
to Mir homes in his sleigh this year after all.
The naich•soeeded snow, on which his sleigh
apeltha..Ass .finally awed. The weather-
rnf±nhad me'twottkd for a little while, I wast,'
bogbining, to loae faith!!
Dant you just love snow? Sure, it's awful .
cold, makes a mess of Mom's nice, clean
Boors, and tends too South once in a while
for the Winter, but don't we all? Would you
really trade W of those snowball fights,
weekend snowmen, tobo$annia�g and rce-
skating parties for Florida? Who am 1
kidding, of course you would!!
It must be great to sit in the sun on a
beach in Fituida, sipping on a glass of milk,
and munching on chocolate -chip cookies,
laurtisg at your friends back home in
Sea ortli, who are trying to shovel their way
uptown! .
But hey, you don't have to go all the -way
to Florida for that!! Grand Bend beach is
open all year round, and I'll bet the crowds
aren't as bad there as in Florida for
swimming- For some reason, December
seems to be a bad month in Ontario for
swimmers--beach-bums anyway.
If the hassles of pre -Christmas life are
getting you down, don't despair; in five days'
the night -mare will be over. In four short
days, my Dad, who camps out under the
Christmas tree the day after it goes up, will
once again come back to the world of normal
human beings.
Christmas does weird 'things to people,
espedally parents. This year I totally banned
the use of mistletoe in our home, because of
overuse last year. Believe me, inside every
