should be taxed. (And this taxing was
first made when Cyrenius was governor
of Syria.) And all went to be taxed,
every one into his own city. And
Joseph also went up from Galilee, out
of the city of Nazareth, into Judea,
unto the city of David, which is called
Bethlehem (because he was of the house
and lineage of David) , to be taxed with
Mary his espoused wife, being great
with child.
And so it was, that while they were
there, the days were accomplished that
she could be delivered. And she brought
forth her first-born son, and laid him
in a manger; because there was no
room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same country
shepherds abiding in the field, keeping
watch over their flock by night. And
lo, the angel of the Lord came upon
them, and the glory of the Lord shone
round about them: and they were sore
afraid. And the angel said unto them,
"Fear not: for, behold I bring you good
tidings of great joy, which shall be to
all. people. For unto you is born this
day in the city 'of David, a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord. And this shall
be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the
babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, ly-
ing in a manger." And suddenly there
was with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God, and saying,
"Glory to God in the highest and on
earth peace, good will toward men."
And it came to pass, as the angels
were gone away from them into heav-
en, the shepherds said one to another,
"Let us now go even unto Bethlehem,
and see this thing which is come to pass,
which the Lord hath made known un-
to us." And they came with haste and
found Mary and Joseph, and the babe
lying in a manger. And when they had
seen it, they made known abroad the
saying which was told them concern-
ing this child. And all who had heard
it wondered at those things which were
told them by the shepherds. But Mary
kept all these things, and pondered
them in her heart. And the shepherds
returned, glorifying and praising God
for all the things that they had 1Teard
and seen, as it was told unto them.—

In the Years Agone
From The Huron Expositor
December 27, 1940
Nearly 800 children of the
district were guests of the Sea -
forth Lions Club on Friday and
received stockings from Santa
Claus. On Sunday the members
of the club visited the Huron
County Home, where carols
were sung by the junior girls'
choir under the direction of
Miss M. E. Turnbull, and short
addresses given by Rev. Hugh
Jack and Lion John Beattie.

It isn't anything like the cold
hostility which existed between
press and government during
the final days of the Diefenbak-
er Government. At least, not
yet.
But Mr. Pearson has shown
resentment and displeasure at
the reporters who dog his foot-
steps—as it is their job to do
—as he tries unhappily to work
his way through the problems
posed by cabinet building.
The Prime Minister called the
November 8 election in defi-
ance of the opinion of even
the newspapers which most
faithfully support ,the Govern-
ment. He has since had to en-
dure their "told -you -so" editor-
ials.
And the fact that it is tak-
ing him a month or more to
reconstruct his Cabinet has
been contrasted with his elec-
tion -time speeches asking for a
majority to meet the great and
urgent tasks confronting Can-
ada. According to this line of
editorial comment, Mr. Pearson
has forgotten about the urg-
ency' and yielded to' a prolong-
ed fit of the sulks.
These things can't have im-
proved the Prime Minister's
temper but coolness between
v the press and the Liberal Gov-
wap
s resent- last Saturday. When reaching
ernment has been building up
First post-election dust-up be-
tween Pearson and the press
was after the first post-mortem
cabinet meeting, when t h e
Prime Minister was confronted
with a struggling mob of re-
porters in the corridor on- the
way to his office.
-This isn't very nice," he
told them. "I have to push my
way to my office. This isn't a
football game."
After the next cabinet meet-
ing, he slipped out the back
way and sent an aide for his
overcoat. And before the
third, he had ruled out corri-
dor press conferences.
The executive of the press
gallery was told by Mr. Pear -
son's press secretary, Richard
O'Hagan, that in future the
corridor would be "off limits"
before, during and immediate-
ly after cabinet meetings. The
regular guards in the building
would enforce the order.
Instead of meeting the Prime
Minister after cabinet meetings
in the hallway the press would
meet him in more dignity and
comfort in a press room set
aside for the purpose. Some-
times the briefing would be
done by Mr. O'Hagan instead
of Mr. Pearson.
At the first test of this sys-
tem, the Prime Minister ap-
peared and fenced with report-
ers over his Cabinet changes
which he said would be "exten-
sive" but wouldn't be made for
a couple of weeks, and might
include senators.
It was a wary session, lack-
ing the old warmth between
Mr. Pearson and the press ani,
it contrasted sharply with the.
Tory caucus across the Parlia-
ment Hill square the same day
where Mr. Diefenbaker, having
come through his own valley
of bitterness. was full of quips
about the Liberal treatment of
the press.
