Christmas day
Children wake up from their ;sleep,
And sneak downstairs for just Ouefeak.
Presents from Santa are what they ace*
Fresents waiting under the treet
Their eyes sparkle with spirit and
When they see their brand new toy,
Squeals of pleasure fill the air,
And here comes Mom with ruffled hair.
Dad soon follows with a grin,
And tickles Nancy on her chin.
Everyone is happy. and hill of joy.
Except one little hungry boy.
He's in another snowy place.
But there's no smile on his face,
He cried last night for his Dad,
And he has reason to be sad.
He lost his mother, and father too,
And be has no, food, unlike you.
His toes are cold and his eyes are red,
But be still remembers the manger bed.-

For Heritage Canada
Early this fall, the Herit-
age Canada. Foundation
• launched an all-out campaign
• to try to make Heritage Day
--the third Monday in Feb-
ruary --a national holiday.
Few Canadians, I suspect
will quarrel with the idea of a
• midwinter holiday to help
• battle the February '`blahs."
But why Heritage Day? And
why a national charitable
foundation, entrusted with
the preservation of our built-
up heritage, asking for a
holiday?• `
Why, for that matter
should the average Canadian
give a hoot about heritage?
Maybe I should answer the
last question first:
It's simple:
Preservation is the wave of
the future, And preservation
is a labour-intensive Indus-
try.
. We are nearing the end of
the great post-war construc-
tion boom, which provided so
many jobs. We are • also
seeing the bankruptcy of a
