School Is Needed All Parties Agree Talk of a new high school for the Ingersoll CollegiateInstitute district is in the air again, and there is a distinct pos­ sibility of a meeting of Ingersoll council and the councils ofthe four townships on the matter right after the New Year. The four townships are North and West Oxford, WestZorra and East Nissduri. The reeves are H. P. Dunn, Thomas Pellow, Mr. Marshall and Grant Sutherland, respectively.The high school accommodation situation is critical and none denies it; in fact, it is understood that all parties areanxious to come to an agreement and get the project under way. TTie whole crux of the matter is allocation among thefive parties of financial responsibility. The collegiate board has warned that by next year extraaccommodation definitely will be needed; whether rented, orbuilt, even on a temporary basis. But it is pointed out that wTiile the provincial government will grant 75 per cent, ofdebenture debt on a new school, there is not nearly the same assistance if temporary accommodation is used. And a newbuilding is going to be needed, anyway. “The situation now is bad”, said one reeve, “and some­thing has to be done. I think if we all came to a meeting de­termined we will reach agreement, then we will. Otherwise, we never will. And we.have got to have a new school—now.There is no question about it” A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!Prominent Artist INDUSTRIAL INGERSOLL Stone’s Production Plan Pays Off for Employees Monday evening, December Ustn,was a gala occasion for the manage­ment and plant employees of Wil­ liam Stone Sons, Limited, at whichtime the management was pleased todistribute, and the employees happy to receive their extra earnings un­der the Share-of-Production Plan now in effect. Mr. F. H. Stone,president, noted that this Plan,known as the Rucker Share-of-Pro­ duction Plan, is now in effect inthree plants in Canada, namely,“Wabasso”, of Three Rivers, Que­bec, “Meco”, of Montreal, and i“William Stone Sons, Limited”, Ingersoll.Mr. Stone said this plan should not be confused with the ordinaryProfit Sharing or Incentive Flan.Instead it is a plan based on the costs and percentages of productionover a period of years of the bus­ iness where the plan is installed.The additional earnings of the em­ployees are gained by their efforts in increasing production, greatergeneral efficiency, reduction inbreakages and repair bills, avoidingwaste of materials, devising bettermethods of operations, in fact any| place where savings can be effectedto a greater extent than before andquality of finished products im­ proved.The Rucker Share-of-Product­ ion Plan is based on the sound prin­ ciple that any successful businessenterprise must properly serve the interests of the three parties con­cerned, namely—consumer, employ­ees, owner. The consumer is assured of the highest quality product at thelowest possible cost—the employeeof a fair and equitable share of thevalues he creates—the owner of afair return on the capital employed.The plan has been in effect atWilliam Stone Sobs, Limited, sinceMarch 1st of this year, and during the nine months to November 30th,the plant employees of the Com­ pany have added over $25,000.00 totheir regular earnings by means of savings in operations and greaterall round efficiency.It is an indication of what can be accomplished wheif employer andemployees work together in a com­mon bond of interest for their mu­tual benefit and in the interests ofthose they serve, company officialsnoted.

Facey officiating and with inter­ment in Harris St. Cemetery.Daughter of Rev. and Mrs. C. D. Daniel, Charlotte Cozette Daniel,Registered Nurse, had known for some time she was fatally ill, butdid not let the knowledge interferewith her well-known cheerfulness and thoughtfulness for others, and,indeed, had already prepared herChristmas gifts for her friends and•ent out her Christmas greetings.Cozette was a graduate of Wood­ stock General Hospital in 1942. Shestopped work about six months ago. Only 28, she was bom in Coe Hill,and besides her parents, is survivedby two sisters, Mrs. George Speirs, (Ethelwyn), of Toronto, and Ruth,at home.A member of Trinity United Church, of which her father is min­ister, Mias Daniel used to sing in the choir and was also a member of theBeatrice 'Leslie Mission Circle.The service was conducted from thePreston T. Walker Funeral Home. Santa Visits Lady Bowlers The annual Christmas party of the Ladies’ Afternoon Bowling Clubwas held at the Y.M.C.A. Tuesday,with over 30 members present. Tha evening opened with an impromptuamateur contest in which the girls sang, danced, recited and playedpiano, drums, xylophone and uk-elele. Everyone was amazed at how much hidden talent there wasamong the members. (Most of it is still hidden.) The judging endedwith Marie Green the winner.Euchre was played next with Viola Brown, high score winner, and LeliaBigham, low. Other prize winnerswere Hazel Hobbs, table prize; lucky draw, Verta Mott, and doorprize, Edith Fairbanks, Lunch was served and during this Santa Clausarrived and was treated to icecream and cake.

His message echoes the sentiments of all of us, and don’tthink it didn't take about two hours for him to peck out themessage. Harold Crellin snapped him. Christmas Party Something different, yet much ap­preciated, was enjoyed by members of the Lions Club at their ChristmasParty Monday evening. Mrs. Mildred Kilgour, wife of one of the club mem­bers, was guest speaker, and told inher own appealing style. The story wasDr. Henry Van Dyke’s immortal, “Storyof the Fourth Wise Man." Mrs. Kil­gour was introduced bv Carl Palmerand thanked by J. J. Clark. Highlight of the evening was thepresentation to Sid Fittock (represent­ing the Salvation Army Corps) of ahuge pile of food gifts brought to the meeting by the club members. Mr.Pittock spoke briefly, thanking the club for their gifts and for the $100donation made towards the Corps' work in supplying Christmas parcelsto the needy. Guests at the meeting were MarkSimuson. Ken Heslop, George Rook. Ralph Peters, Candace Carroll andHarold Crellin. President Norm Harper read twoletters he had received from service­ men who had received narcels sent bvthe club.

Thii l« th* eighth of a series cf articles being written by Tri­ bune news editor, Alan Havard,in Industrial Ingersoll. Each Thursday The Tribune will pub- signs bear numbers in the three hundreds.In the thirteen years they havebeen in business, Coronation Furni­ ture has shipped almost 100,000 fin­ished pieces of furniture, most of itchairs. And all of them bearing that superb finish and clarity of designthat resulted in their show being'bought out* at this year’s exhibition. Although a lot of their chairsand furniture is designed after the creations of famous furniture mak­ers such as Chippendale, Sheraton,Louis XV, they also produce up-to- the-minute modernistic creations ingaily patterned upholstery, and withthe austere lines that present-day people seem to love so much.They do not make their own frames, finding it quicker and eas­ier to buy them ready made from afactory with world-wide connections in Elora. Coronation submits a de­sign and within a few weeks backcomes a shipment of framesireadyfor finishing, stuffing and upholster­ing. All of them made from the veryfinest wood obtainable.The frames are first sanded and stained, and then the lacquer issprayed on. Skilled upholsterers, most of whom have been doing thesame job all their lives, strap onthe webbing, springs, stuffing and padding. The actual task of coveringthe chairs takes from one to fourhours, depending on the style of , chair.The materials for chair covers are imported from over half the world.Some come from France, othersI from Italy, others from the States, and the special Aubusson used for7”,; the Louis XV pieces comes fromIe,t Belgium.

Members of the Calf Clubwere special guests, and were pre­sented with their various trophies and cash awards for the year’s work. “The biggest job in the world is .agriculture," said 'Mr. Young, who was introduced by Don Mackenzie of theCalf Club Committee. “The first man in the world was a farmer; the lastman will undoubtedly be, too. I feel he will outlast them all. The fanneris thg original producer. He brings what-we need from the soil: he is aVJLP." Don Mackenzie introduced the calfclub winners and presented their prizes, with the exception of the William StoneSons Ltd. Trophy, for the high aggre­gate score, and which was presentedto Don Post by Mr. Heath Stone per­sonally. The Donald Mackenzie cup,for the highest in judging, was wonby Lome Groves; best calf (100 poundsof Startina, donated by Jas. S. Grieve& Son)—Neil Crane; 2nd best calf (100pounds Shur-Galn, donated by FrankFulton)—Gordon Wilford; high boy inshowmanship (100 pounds Master CalfStarter, donated by Hawkins Feed Co.) --Bill Wallace, who placed third toNeil Crane and Don Post, who could not win more than one feature prize. Introduces Boys Grant Small. Chairman of the CalfClub Committee, presided over the meeting, and he had all the calf club­bers stand up. Seated at the head table were Neil Crane, president of theCalf Club; President J. C. Herbert, Mr.Small, Padre Young and Don Mackenzie. Another special guest was Ken Best,deputy agricultural representative for Oxford. Another guest was FredRichens. Mr. Herbert praised Messrs. Small,Mackenzie and their committee for their “splendid iob." He also mentionedthat an Ingersoll cheese is going to anOklahoma Kiwanis Club as a typical product from the Inrersoll area. MonteJarrett was praised for his preparation and despatch of Christinas gift parcelsto Ingersoll military men, and Secre­ tary Montgomery read a letter ofthanks from one, Jack Parkhill, who said the food was 4 treat because hegot the impression that their service cook had previously worked in “afoundrv or a brick works."Mr. Herbert said the club's sympathy bad been sent Ebner Chisholm in thedeath of his father. He welcomed back Gord Tingle.Maurice Lierman, 11. from Langton, entertained on his aecordian. He wasaccompanied by Andv Taffelrcn. who disclosed that Maurice was the sonof Arthur Lierman, one of two menshot to death near Laneton when they tried to stop a bank robber. Food Will WinMr. Young praised the Kiwanis and other clubs for their work with ruralboys and girls, stating they were help­ ing l-renk clown a certain wall of mis­understanding existing between the neople of the towns and of the country.He mentioned the present war threat, and raid: “Should there be another Donates Sweaters For Hockey Team Y’s Men met in the “Y” Mondayevening. Christmas carols were en­ joyed, with Al Clark leading thesinging, assisted by Win Cooper at He said 39 per cent of all Ontario industry was directly ! dependent upon agriculture. “Food doesn't just happen,” the ;speaker noted. “The production of food requires skill, capital, long hours and know-how. One mealtime we 'checked our table, and found the onlything the fanner didn’t produce was the salt, pepper and glass of water. And, at that, if the farmer didn’t keepup his water tables, we’d soon bewithout the water, too." 4He said one of our biggest failingswas to take things for granted. Like freedom, for example. And the veryfood on our table. “We live in a starving world.” Mr.Young went on, mentioning that UN figures claimed one-third of the world's population does not know what threesquares a day mean. One fifth of thepopulation is actually starving, he said. “The reason we’re having the troublein China today is because their millions are starving,” he asserted. "Hungerbreeds war. There is no more danger­ ous man than a starving man. Yet,here we hear talks about surpluses of food. TTiere is no surplus: it’s justbad distribution. The day is coming when food will be distributed differ­ently, but even then there will still be people without the projHir food.”In the next 10 years, said Mr. Young, there would be another 200,000 peopleto be fed. More would have to be nroduced in the same land. Even inOxford County, he said, there is hardlyand acre of land that can not be made to produce 3-10 times what it is pro­ducing now. "Everything we have in life is dependent on that six inchesof top soil." he declared, “and we’ve been terribly wasteful of it.”Co-operation NeededThe secret of our future, suggestedMr. Young, was cooperation between’he farmers, the businessmen, the laboring man, the industrialist “If thefarmer’s income goes down, we all “o down.” Sneaking to the boys, Mr. the piano.Ross Hurst reported ...» hockey league activities at theCentre Saturdays.

The message was from <one of the company’s travellers in 1 Toronto. “Our show at the exhibi- Ition has 'been bought”, he said, and |a jubilant atmosphere pervaded the I whole plant !Having your show “bought’ at the exhibition means a little more thanthe name implies. It means, for :one thing, that your furniture is : among the best six in the country. 1 At the giant furniture exhibition, 1 held in Toronto’s immense automo- 'tive building, January Sth, a total ■ of 375 firms engaged in the manu- ;facture of furniture show their •latest and finest designs and work­ manship. It is easy to realize, from that, ; that for a firm to have all the furn-ture it will be displaying bought a 'month in advance—before the firm itself even has divided what piecesto show—is quite a signal honor.It only happens to about six firms n year. With that many firms show-,ing furniture, to even sell yhile the exhibition is in progress, is quite atask.Small wonder that Fred Jones and Walter Leaper, founders and'owners of the Company, f:’“ o „„„ ............................,, elated when they heard the news. first t0 have them jn CanadaAlthough the business was only he thc started in 1937.founded in 1937 it has—despite ,----- dark warnings to the contrary— ,flourished and grown into one of , country’s foremost producers of fine jmodern and period chairs. ,Back thirteen years ago, when . they started the business, the two (men were told they wouldn't last (two weeks. It was the very depths .of the doldrums into which the de-pression had thrown the industry as ' a whole. “You’ll lose your shirts,"they were told. “We’ll keep yourjobs open for you,” said their em­ployers, “because you won’t be away that long.”But the two were away that long.They used to spend a couple of days a week selling their furniture andthen the rest of the week making up,their orders. It was tough at first,' but they both had the same idea,that superior work had eventually to find a market. 4 nd it did-It is a far cry now from thosedays. The firm has a line of some, i 40 differing chairs that they make,i together with coffee tables, book'.• cases and other pieces of furniture. • They sell in practically every prov- . ince in the Dominion and their onlyr complaint now is that they have toomany orders. They simply can’t fill ; them in time, try as hard as theyr might, 1 At first, as the two partners re- ' mark, “you couldn’t sell ’em if youtagged $10 bills to the chairs.” Nqw they can’t make enough to fillall the orders.They have a picture album in their" office, on Victoria St, thatmeans as much to them and their r employees as the family snapshoti album does to most of us. They havep photographs in it of every piece of , furniture they have ever made. The. photograph is still there of chair' number one.

Another order camefrom the Malay Straits and yet an­ other from Africa. Not all of themcan be filled, but it makes the peopleat Ingersoll's newest industry feel good. It makes them feel that theypicked a good slogan for their furniture.“Fit for a queen.” Going With Jets To U. K. Station Flying Officer M. G. Sauder anda;s.

Christmas. Th* time when, almost two thousand years ago, a baby was bom in the humble poverty of a manger. That baby was a messenger of hope and love, a king sent to lead a straying world Into the right of God. Destined to give his life when only 33 years old, the baby was Our Lord, Jesus Christ His name, his life and his beliefs were planted so firmly in the middle of a chosen few that today one thousand nine hundred and fifty years after­ ward, almost half the people of this world avow their belief in his word. Though, perhaps, few of us think of it as such today, His birthday, December 25th, is really the time of renewal of our faith. It is the time when, for a fleeting space of 24 hours, we stop the tumultuous whirl of everyday life and join hands in friendship with our fellow men. We relax in the comfort of our homes, and we bask in the warm glow of our families and half-forgotten friendships. Yes, it is Christmas. The time when the young­ sters gleefully unwrap parcels. The time when we listen to carols and let our mind walk the peaceful paths of contemplation. It is, too, the time when w*e open our hearts to God, admitting our shortcomings through the past year and rejoicing over the things which we have done well. It is the time, when remember­ ing the words of Christ, we help others who are less fortunate; asking only the blessed joy that comes from giving. This day is more than a holiday, more than just an occasion, more—even—than an anniversary. It is , . . well, it is Christmas. For some it is the culmination of past hopes, for others it is the dawn of new hopes and the promise of better things to come. For each and every one of us it has its own special meaning, but for all of us it brings God’s beacon of love. A beacon from' which we can draw courage, inspiration and guid­ ance to help us along the troubled paths of life. On this day, December 25th, let us all join together under the protective awning of His presence. Let us this night, kneel down before our Creator and say these words; “Dear God, we are weak and easily lead astray. Often we do those things which we know are wrong because they represent an easy why out. We choose the empty pleasures of temptation rather than strive for perfection in your eyes. That is why we ask these things of you on this, the day when your only Son was bom. Grant us the will to do that which should be done. Grant us the strength to change that which should be changed. Grant us the courage to accept that which cannot be changed. And grant us the wis­ dom to see the one from the other.” Your Tree Can Be a Death Trap It’s time again for the annual reminder that Christmas trees are just about the greatest single lire hazard which could possibly be placed in a home. What with tinder dry and resin-filled green­ ery plenty of fancy paper and decorations around the foot of the tree and electric wires or candles strung all over the whole thing, it is an open in­ vitation to the demon of fire unless every pre­ caution is taken. This warning, passed on by The Mildmay Ga­ zette, is anything but new, and may merit only a passing glance from the most of our readers. We could wish for a much more arresting method of ' reminding every householder of this terrible danger. Christmas-time tragedies always seem no much worse because they come at a time when there is a universal desire for happiness and un­ bounded joy. We read only the other day that there is no known method of fireproofing a Christmas tree. You have often read of ways in (which your tree can be treated so that it will be leas inflammable. However, it now develops that such precautions are a waste of time. The thing that counts la care —Care—CARE, when you are putting up the tree, when you are decorating it and at every subsequent moment until it Is removed^rom your living room. You must see that every bulb is clear of the greenery, and stays that way; that the wires which lead to the lights don’t get hot when the lights are left on. And above all, don't go away from the house and leave the lights burn­ ing. Remember that when fire starts in a Christ­ mas tree, the whole thing is a mass of flames in a matter of seconds. Your drapes go next and then you might as welt run for your life. If you own a Are extinguisher, keep It handy and use It at the first sign of danger. Be careful with your tree and have « happy Christmas! Is There A Santa Claus? “Is there a Santa Claus?” Millions of children have asked that question since visits from St Nicholas began to be associated with the observ­ ance of Christmas. In 1897, one little girl wrote to the editor of The New York Sun, asking him about Santa, and the next day an editorial ap­ peared, an editorial that has been reprinted thou­ sands of times since. Here is. that famous editorial: “We take pleasure in answering at once and thus prominently the communication below, ex­ pressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful author is numbered among the friends of The Sun: “Dear Editor: I am eight years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, “If you see it in The Sun it's so." Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus? VIRGINIA O’HANLON, 115 West Ninety-fifth Street ‘“Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skep­ tical age. They do not believe unless they see. They think that nothing can be which is not com­ prehensible by their little minds. All minds, Vir­ ginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this universe of ours man is a mere in­ sect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas, how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this ex­ istence. We should have no enjoyment except in sense and sight This eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinglished. “Not believe in Santa Claus? You might as well not believe in fairies. You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down what would that prove. Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody ^can conceive or imagine all the wonders that are unseen and unseeable in the world. You tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, .but there is a veil cover­ ing the unseen world which not the strongest man that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance can push aside that curtain and new and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else more real and abiding. “No Santa Claus! Thank God, he lives and live* forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad toe heart of ehildhood.v Christmas, 1950 * In far off days, in a far off land, A promise to man was given, That into a world of strife would come A Child of Peace from Heaven. A child .who, when to manhood grown , Would teach of Love’s potential, The alchemy all men would find Was to the world essential. But the years have passed, And men refuse His gentle admonitions. They love but self and the pelf that gluts Their Idftier ambitions. Still strife disrupts and life destroys; Wars rage without cessation, And Peace must bow her lowly head To await with resignation. Until such time as man awakes To the knowledge, in desperation, * That Peace will come to a distraught earth When he follows God’s intention. —Eveline A.

"I will give you two oranges,” he said, “if you will tell me where He is not.” Many great men have always felt the spirituality of Christmas, and some have managed to put it into words. For instance, whenWoodrow Wilson was asked to prove the greatness of Christianity, whose founder was the Christ-child, he said simply, “Try it.” Cardinal Spellman had a Christmas gift for the mind when hesaid: * > “The joy of Christmas is a joy that war cannot kill, for it is a joyof the soul, and the soul cannot die. Poverty cannot prevent thejoy of Christmas, for it is a joy no earthly wealth can give. Time cannot wither Christmas, for it belongs to eternity. The world can­ not shatter it, for it is a union with Him who has overcome theworld.” The late Franklin D. Roosevelt once illustrated the spirit ofChristmas with this story: "A thief broke into the home of a priest and stole Jiis purse. That night the priest wrote in his diary: ’Let me be thankful. Firstbecause I \yas never robbed before. Second because although hetook my purse, he never took my life. . Third because although he took all I had it was not much. And fourth because it was he whostole, and not I’.” • With volumes of good wishes, For Christmas joy and cheer And happiness and gladness, Every day throughout the yearl a success.

Since callerswill be as much present as holly and gifts during the holidays, do your baking of cakes and cookies,■o your cupboard will be ready for any who might drop in. Home-made delicacies served during Christmas and New Year’s are as heart-warming as the sound of the yule log crackling on the hearth. If you have a fruit cake,a variety of cookies and perhaps a few candies, and if you serve thesewith a festive beverage, you will have gone a long way in spelling holiday cheer to those who cometo say "Merry Christmas” at your home. Here is a simple type fruit cake which does not need the aging thata traditional cake requires. The recipe makes two 9x4x3 inch loaves and is the perfect answer asto what should be served during the holidays: Raisin Fruit Cake(Makes 2 loaves) 4 eups seeded raisins2 tablespoons grated lemon rind 1 tablespoon cinnamon1 tablespoon allspice •2V* cups liquidtli cups chopped nutmeats 4 cups sifted cake flour 5 teaspoons double acting baking powder2 teaspoons salt 1’4 cups sugarV4 cup butter or shortening 2 eggs, well beaten 2 teaspoons vanilla Combine raisins, lemon < rind, apices and water in a saucepan.Cover and simmer gently for eight minutes.

The Stable of Bethlehem did notin any way resemble the airy •por­ ticos — complete with plaster ofperis animals and adoring shep­ herds — so dear to the heart of modem Christendom-. With comfort increasing through-, out the western world, the poverty of the Nativity acene simultaneous­ly startles and fascinates us — asperhaps Matthew] the publican, was impressed by Rhe story of the Wise Men: and St. Luke, who had been a ship's doctor and probablyknew very little about shepherds, was charmed by the shepherds abiding in the field.There was no room in the inn that night, so Jesus was bom in a stable, a place at shelter hewninto a rocky ledge of the Judean countryside. It was cold and dark and damp, and Judean travelers—frequently ’put up’ in such caves— welcomed rather than disdained joint tenancy with beasts becausethe breath of the cattle and the heat of their bodies provided a little warmth, while the guests in­side the inn had no heat at all. The cave, which was the birth­ place of the Saviour, is ' now agrotto beneath Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity; and though fasci­ nated by the simplicity of the origi­nal Nativity scene, Christianity has been unwilling to maintain its pov* erty ’and has cavered the entiresurface with costly ornamentation.

It has symbolized their gifts as symbolic of what Jesuswas to become—gold for a king, frankincense for a high priest .and myrrh for a great physician. ' The Gospel text’s specific wisemen from the east logically identi­ fies them with Zoroastrianism—an ancient monotheistic religion ofPersia. Zoroastrian priests were called Magi;' they were powerful in public and private life since they,and they alone, possessed the priestly mysteries involved in the worship of Mazda—who repre­sented the Zoroastrian power' lot good. ■ The Magi may or may not havebeen fabulously wealthy: St. Mat­ thew does not elaborate their treasures nor the amount of gold,frankincense and myrrh which they presented to the Christ Child. The gifts may have been mere tokens of their treasures, or thesum and substances thereof. And if they were soothsayers, mystics and possibly clairvoyantsthey were also truly wise—in as much as they did not return toHerod, but departed into their owncountry by a different route. W. L.

ARAGON RESTAURANT PHONE 422 THAMES ST. How did you choose the toys foryour youngsters this Christmas? A New York toy manufacturerdeclares that only a few parent* will select the proper playthings for their children each Christmas.Most, he said, buy toys that please themselves, rather than the children. The man, who owns a companyI that makes creative playthings, warns that “gadgety” toys may beharmful and frustrating. And, he adds, children quickly tire of them. “The best toy a parent can buy,”he said, “is a set of plain un­ painted, wooden unit blocks. Chil­ dren will use and enjoy them from age 18 months to nine years." He said that girls between age 3 and 7 should have a "doll comer."He said the comer should be sup­ plied first with a large wooden stove, bed and cupboard.“The doll comer will become the most treasured play place in the little girl’s life," he said. He contends boys from ages 2 to 7 ’.mostly enjoy "transportation" play—trucks, cars and boats. There was no statement about what parents should choose at Christmas for the young teen-ageboy or girl—in the 13-18 year-old group, whose interests already are deeply grained in social activities, and who prefer parties and dances to play-at-home activities. Perhaps by next year, this manu­facturer, or some child psychologist will have solved this problem.

What would Christmas be without bright new dollies for little girls to cherish?Giving promise ef a goodly crop of dolls for this Christmas are these flnlahed heads on racks in atoy factory, ready to be given bodies and limbs. Among tha myriad problems which bi-set parents at Christmns time are the many questions from the small-fry about Santa Claus.And the business of telling Junior or his little sister the truth aboutthe Jolly old gentleman In the red suit is really a major task. However, the situation is boundto arise, and when it does, it does something to your, heart strings— so you draw the Ittle ones closeand cast about te the best ex­planation. 9 Oddly enough, the true story is best—and the easiest to tell. So why not just tell the littleones this?: St. Nicholas (or Nicolas) is Santa Claus' real name. He lived in AsiaMinor and was the beloved bishop of the Greek church of Myra inLycia. He is the patron .saint of the young, and in some European coun­ tries a person dressed as a bishopstill assembles the children and distributes gifts of nuts, sweetmeats and other nice things to the good boys and,girls. ChildrenMoved St. Nicholas and trudged along beside him as he trudged the dusty roads of the Lycia countryside, bringing fruit and candy to the sick and needy. One of many stories told of his goodness concerns a poor , , and honest man and bis three! good and beautiful daughters! The father was unhappy foer poverty prevented his giving the customary dowries to hisdaughters, and for this reason they could never have suitable husbands. One night a bag of coins was tossed in at the man's window. The next night the act was repeated.But on the third night the father watched, and the anonymous giverwas detected. The jolly bishop stood with the third bag of coins in his hands. The father was very proud and would not accept the money. The good bishop begged the poor man to accept the gifts and usethem for his daughters’ dowries, requesting that his name never berevealed. At last, the father accepted the money for his daughters, but hecould not keep the name of the generous bishop secret — so thelegend of the goodness of St. Nicho­ las was fu rth e r spread and strengthened.

These are: First of all ask the farmer for permission to hunt on his land.Never, never under any circum­ stance, point or discharge firearmsat, near, or in the direction of,farnjhouses or buildings, cattle, sheep, horses, dogs, poultry or - -most important - - other human beings.Use gates to enter fields. Crawl under instead of over fences if pos­ sible. If a fence must be climbed do so near the post to which it isfastened as it is less likely to break or sag at this pointDon’t be above offering or doingsmall services for the farmer in appreciation for hunting privileges.If the farmer asks you not to en­ ter, or asks you to leave his land,do so without argument.“A true sportsman realizes that, hunting, especially A private land.1* a privilege r*thy than a right,”It wa* stated.

This first New England Christ­ mas — or non-observance thereof—should not be credited as the first Christmas on American soil, sinceLeif Eriksen spent a winter or two on the North American continent around the turn of the 11th century. Leif was a Christian, and it is likely that members of his crew were Christians, too; although itis quite possible that some had ac­ cepted the faith without remodel­ ing their pagan natures, since KingOlafs methods were ruthless and his command “Be baptized, or eke!” left them little choice. Undoubtedly, flagons of crude, raw w in e fermented from the grapes of Leifs vinland werepassed around and thr- celebration may have been rather boisterous, but in all fairness to Leif—who, ac­cording to excellent testimony, was 'a sincere convert—it is reasonable to assume that there was a traceof religious observance. Perhaps Leif remembered the few words of Latin prayer helearned at the time of his conver­ sion and recited them in honor of the birthday of the Redeemer he had accepted. . . Thus, the first Christmas in America was ob­served. IMPERIAL OIL PRODUCTS Prices Moderate 305 HALL STREET KING ST. E-PHONE 122 For Christmas dinner this year, serve the best­ tasting turkey ever.
