We see the clergymen of our town in the business places and on the sidewalks chatting with people, and the people, whether or not fhey are members of their congregations, appear to enjoy having this companionship with them. The clergymen are helping to meet a need for the church through the week In a way that is appreciated. The clergyman is always quick to commend people who have earned praise,-but many of us are backward in giving him encouragement in his work. One of the best ways to show him the encouragement we would like to express is to attend the services on Christmas Sunday and every Sunday throughout the year that we can. We hope there will be large congregations in all the churches of the town and district on Sunday. With filled churches, we will show that we appre­ ciate the work of our clergymen, that we reco­ gnize the worth to our community of the church, and also that we enjoy the great beauty of the Christmas message as it is told again for us in sermon and music.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1948 PEACE: GOODWILL Let the cry, “Peace on earth and good­will to men,’!, which at this season re-echoes through the world from myr­iads of lips, be to you something more than an oft-reiterated platitude. Letits truth be practiced by you; let itdwell in your heart; and do not mar itsharmony and peace, by thoughts of ill-will.—James Allen. Our Wish To All Is “A Merry Christmas” A Merry Christmas to all! This is the wish of The Ingersoll Tribune to all of its readers. It is a wish that is given in happy • voice wherever people mee$ this week, and it echoes around the world. At the Christmas season, the world is very close to the fulfillment of “Peace on earth: good­ will to men." Christmas is an unchanging celebration. ’ We cling to the wish of “A Merry Christmas" as the most appropriate way-of expressing our wish for Christmas happiness to others. No other form of voicing the Christmas wish is likely to take its place, for in it there is expressed all that can be wished for the enjoyment of Christmas. It expresses it in simplicity and with the tradition of centuries. Christmas is a happy time for the boys and girls. They awake on Christmas morning to dis­ cover what their beloved friend, Santa Claus, has left at the fireside for them. The legend of Santa Claus and the implicit faith of a child in him are interwoven into the beauty of the Christmas season. While the passing of time has done little to bring changes into the celebration of Christmas, there is ever something of newness in it. We rejoice anew over the reading of the Christmas story and the singing of the Christmas hymns. Christmas is a festival in the home and in the church. Some might say it is over-commercial­ ized, but we feel that something has been added to the season with the attractive displays of gift 'suggestions In the business places and the adver­ tisement in the press, We as individuals, make the Christmas season, and it depends upon the attitude we take towards it as to what measure of joy we will gain from it. If we could carry the happiness of the Christmas season through the year that is so soon to begin, we would change this world. From the threatenings of war, the strife, the hunger, and the want of cl^hing and warmth of homes, we would bring in an era of peace and goodwill, and a just distribution of the necessities of life. There is a hope at the Christmas season that its vjoy might go on and on and permeate the whole world. Our wish for all is that this ’Christmas will be a merry one, from the happiness of the family gatherings on Christmas Day and through the worship in the churches on Christmas Sunday. The Churches of the Town and District Prepare For Christmas The churches of Ingersoll and the surrounding district are preparing to present beautiful servi­ ces on Christmas Sunday. Their pastors will read the story of the first Christmas from the Bible, and they will present in their sermons thoughts about that Bethlehem scene in relation to this Christmas of 1948. Congregations will sing the lovely old Christmas hymns and the organists and the members of the choirs will render selections to add to the impressive beauty of the Christmas services. Christmas is a time when there is no urging required on the part of the pastor and the Offic­ ials of the church for a large congregation. It is a tradition that the celebration of Christmas is not complete without the family attendance at church. The loveliness of the Christmas season is em­ bodied in the fact that its real enjoyment comes from within the family circle and in the church. If it were not for the church, we would not have Christnjas. It has been brought down to us from almost 2,000 years ago by a living church. Christmas is a good time for us to think of of the worth of the church in our community. We treasure the beauty of the Christmas season which it preserves for us, but unconsciously we overlook the many things which are important to our way of living that had their origin also in the church and things which it is constantly doing to make our community a better place in which to live. The churches of Ingersoll and the district in- . vite all to enjoy their Christmas services. Whether or not one has a church home should not cause one to hesitate about attending church on Christmas Sunday. In our community there are churches of many denominations, and one can attend the church of one’s choice. Ingersoll is well served by its clergymen. They are able leaders of their congregations. Too‘often we do not appreciate as fully as we should just how much work these men do. They prepare and deliver sermons, conduct weddings, visit * the sick, give spiritual counsel to those who visit them in trouble and they bury the dead. The clergymen give leadership to the many organiza­ tions within their churches, and they also take an active part in the work of their Sunday Schools. The war has changed the clergymens’ tasks. 'In the uniformed forces, the men and women appreciated having the padre chat with them. It brought comfort to them to have the repre- Playing of Christmas Hymns Contributes To Season’s Joy Numerous organizations of the community are arranging to assist in the spreading of the glad spirit of Christmas by trying to make sure that Santa’s pack contains gifts for all the boys and girls. They are also including in their Christmas Eve activities the distribution of baskets which will help the recipients to enjoy a happy time around the festive Christmas dinner table. Among the organizations which are contributing to the happiness of the Christmas season in Ing­ ersoll and the district is the Salvation Army. This group at Christmas time extends the activi­ ties which it carries on throughout the year. Apart from the work it is doing, in common with other organisations, to insure that Christmas will be a happy time in every home, the Army has been helping all the citizens to enjoy the glad spirit of Christmas. The beautiful hymns appropriate to the Christmas season have been played on streets of Ingersoll by the band of the local corps of the Salvation Army. This is an exceptionally fine band, and its rendering of the beloved Christmas- tide music has been appreciated by the commun­ ity. The spirit of the Christmas season is often dimmed in the rush of buying gifts and prepar­ ing for the celebration of the great holiday. The music of the carols of Christmas coming into the home in the quiet of the evening, played by the local band of the Salvation Army, brings a refreshing delight in the beauty and traditions fof the Christmas season. Our Community Appreciates Its Efficient Postal Servants We do not think there is any doubt in making the statement that the most important place in the community this week is the local post office. 'Almost any time of the day, people are lining up in it to buy stamps, or to receive their mail from the general delivery wickets. Bundles of greeting cards and letters are being mailed, as well as well-wrapped parcels. It is a 'Very busy place. Our post office renders splendid service to the community. Postmaster S. A. Gibson, who has held that position for 25 years, and his large staff endeavor to give the citizens at all times quick and efficient service. They arc always cour­ teous, and despite how busy they may be they take time to do extra little things for users of the post office. We feel that the community is proud of its splendid postal servants, and we think that the citizens would appreciate having the Ingersoll Tribune thank Postmaster Gibson and every member of his staff for the efficient handling of the heavy Christmas mails, also to wish them a Merry Christmas. What Others Say: Bonnie Prince Charlie Speculation over the name’’ of Britain’s new prince, is ended with the announcement of hischristening. He is Charles Philip Arthur George,and will be known as Prince Charles of Edin­ burgh. Thus after the lapse of many centuriesBritain again has a Bonnie Prince Charlie andScotland is again given a measure of recogni­tion. When the young prince was born there was a great deal of interest expressed in whatthe years would bring him, and the land he mightsotne day rule. Now the announcement of hisname will stimulate this speculation. For Bon­nie Prince Charlie was one of the best-loved traditional figures in British history. He wasalso one of the most tragic. The name of Charles has not been a particu­larly happy one in British history. The firstCharles lost his crown and his head. The secondendured a period of exile before the Restoration, after which he bcame known as the Merry Mon­arch, . What’ history will tell of this Prince Charlie » veiled by the future.

Ontario citizens are reminded now of a few simple helpful rules to safeguard their health, and that of others. Prevention of the common cold is the responsibility of all, and if everyone plays his part much unnecessary illness, expense and discomfort may be avoided. With the holiday season looming ahead, when so much happiness depends on everyone feeling fit, why run the risk of “ catching cold ’’-o r letting members of your family face that danger ? In the interest of parents and families, the Ontario Department of Health recommends every Ontario citizen to study the common-sense precautions suggested below and aa upon them. Rue Swijole, Take plenty of rest. Avoid becoming unduly tired. Endeavour to follow a well-balanced diet. Avoid becoming wet, chilled or over­ heated. If clothing becomes wet, it should be changed as quickly as possible. 3.If a cold overtakes you, go to bed until il improves. Iff it does not clear up rapidly, do not hesitate to seek medical advice.

KENNETH R. DANIEL M P. for Oxford County STORM CAUSES DAMAGE TO TELEPHONE COMPANY Much damage was caused by the sleet storm on Wednesday last to the lines of the Ingersoll Telephone Company, H. 1. Stewart, the man­ ager, informed The Ingersoll Tri- mne. Forty-three poles were broken off and about 55 circuits were put out of order. The service to approximately 600 subscribers was interrupted. Mr. Stewart re­ ported that the chief damage oc­ curred on No. 19 Highway, between Salford and Mount Elgin, and on the heavy leads north and south of Embro. In one stretch north of Embro, 10 poles on the east side of the road were broken off and car­ ried by the wind to the ditch on the west side. The manager of the company said the high wind with the weight of ice on the wires caus­ ed the damage. Without a high wind, he said, the wires could stand the weight of ice. Mr. Stewart said he expected that the repairs ould be completed this week. night: Borden'*Legiep 2 R. Griswold B. McDermottW. V»e J. SmithR. Sherlock F. Embury J.

O. S. Whalen, the engineer for the Bathurst Construction Com­ pany, the town’s inspector, James Buchanan, and 'Mr. Marshall, the solicitor for the town, participated in discussions during the handling of the evening’s business. Mr. Anderson, the consulting engineer, recommended the pay­ ment to the Bathurst Construction Company of the remaining half of two-thirds of the holdback money. He reported that the sanitary sewers under contracts "A” and “B” had been completed, with the period of a one-year maintenance guarantee commencing on October 16, 1948. He recommended the signing of the completion certifi­ cate, which provides for the making of repairs to streets and walks by the company or the payment of suf­ ficient money to the town to have the work done. The company is bonded for 50 per cent- of the whole contract until October 16, 1949, and the final one-third, $14,- 367, is not to be paid until that date. Councillors Ranger and Kerr felt ’ that this was not a large enough 1 sum to take care of damage done to streets and walks ’ Mr. Whalen said many of the ’ cave-ins on the streets were caused by leaks in the town’s antiquated1 water system. He said the pave­ ment was undermined ' the leaks, and he told the council that replacements of copper pipe Town Council Holds Final Meeting tor Year The town council held its final meeting of the year on Monday evening in the .council chamber, with Mayor C.

Mayor Riley said he was pleased that the sewerage equipment and disposal plant are now protected with insurance amounting to £263,000. He said the recent ex­ plosion which damaged a substa­ tion on Charles St West was cov­ ered by insurance. The mayor commended the ad­ option of a police committee re­ port authorizing the clerk to noti­ fy the Bathurst Construction Com­ pany that if it did not carry out repairs on Charles, Can-oil, Mill, Canterbury and Hall Sts., the council would do the work and charge the cost to the firm, accord­ ing to the contract. His comments were made during the reading of the minutes by Mr. Winlaw. The Alexandra Hospital Trust requested the payment of $150,000 as soon as it is available from the bond company. C. J. Hines, secre­ tary of the-Lions Club, asked for a rebate of $10 paid for the rental of the town hall for the club’s tur­ key bingo party. He that the proceeds were hospital building fund. M. Cohen requested repairs in front of his store. A firm of credit jewellers in St. Thomas applied for a hawker’s license to solicit business in Inger­ soll. The mayor said the town’s so­ licitor had been consulted, and that the request would not be granted. "We must protect our own merchants,” he stated. Letters were read from the con­ sulting engineer for the sewerage system, R. V. Anderson, regarding the payment of holdback money to the Bathurst Construction Com­ pany. Payment for an indigent hospital case was discussed, and a defer­ ment was made pending an investi­ gation by Councillors F. H. Kerr and T. J. Morrison, with the assis­ tance of the solicitor W. R. Mar­ shall, K.C. Reports of the committees auth- Facilities Improved At Ingersoll “Y” A story of improved facilities and a program of increased use of those facilities is the story of the Ingersoll Y.M.-Y.W.C.A. in the past three months, according to G. B. Henry, the president of the board of directors. Little has been heard generally of the “Y” in the past few weeks, although the newspaper reports in­ dicate from time to time that a new club is organized, or new officers have been elected, or that a special program was being planned for j some event The report that came ( from C.
