Missionary Circle Baskets Sent for Over 60 Years For over 60 years the Mission­ ary Circle of the King’s Daugh­ ters have had as one of their many welfare projects, the sending out of Christmas cheer baskets. On Tuesday afternoon at the Y the members again gathered for theirw*ork and 21 baskets were packed.The baskets go to needy familiesand also to elderly folk and shut-ins. This year they contained gro­ceries, such as bacon, butter, tea and jam; also oranges, candy, nuts and Christmas cake. In addition to the food, the basket* for famil­ies where there arc small children contained toys. Many Other organizations rec­ ognizing the outstanding work of the Missionary Circle, make money contributions to assist them. Many individuals too, give donations, and among these was Mr. Adamson who donated honey for the bas­kets. The Kiwanis Club sent a number of toys and White Gifts from Trinity United Church werealso included. The Circle, which is one of theolder organizations in the town, has done possibly as much welfare | work as any. As the ladies packedthe baskets this year, it was re­ called that once in the depression period, 163 baskets were sent out. Though the organization only has 17 members now, they still ac­ complish a great deal and theleader, Mrs. T. E. Jackson and ladies are to be congratulated. Help Wanted To Save Bleachers At P. E.

AH of the past week we have been hearing talks and discussions on the Bill of Human Rights. We all agree wholeheartedly with all the document expresses. Most of the Right* we of the fortunate nations already have. It gives u* a pleasantly complacent feeling to think that we have advanced so far along the road to human betterment that we need not worry our heads unduly about fight­ ing for them. IBut it takes a speaker like Mr. Barr of the United Nations to deflate our bubble of self-righteous sufficiency. It needs deflating. We need to know that the Right* we accept as ours cannot long remain ours, unless they are the Rights of other peoples, too. As he says, it is im­ pudent of us to preach the gospel of human rights to starving, diseased and illiterate people, in other parts of the globe. All over the world, especially the Asiatic world, the people have come to believe what we have told them. These Rights are human rights, and as they are human, they are theirs too. Why then are they without them, they ask. They are without them because they cost much money and the money is in the hands of the “haVe” nation*. We have done something, surely, but It is so little compared with what is necessary. It has been spread so thinly that the little that has been ac­ complished anywhere is too little still the discon­ tent You can’t quench their thirst for knowledge, their desire for food and health and decent living conditions with a gun or even a bomb, the speaker said, but only by giving the United Nations the necessary funds to be spent on their behalf. If peace on earth and good will to all men means anything at all, surely it means that we of the fortunate nations should do everything in our power to end the distress and misery endured by millions of other people. They are aware and aroused. They are on the march. Nothing will step them now, but a conviction that we really in­ tend to share the fruit* of the earth and our hu­ man rights with them.—Eveline A. Long. What Others S ay: Make Room for Christmas Dr. Donald Wade of Knox College, speaking St. Paul’s Church on Sunday afternoon likened the human heart to that Inn in Bethlehem - - a place so crowded and concerned with the problems of the day that there was no room for the Babe who was to be the light and hope of the world. It is a simple analogy, and true. Our hearts and minds are so full of thoughts of Christmas shopping, Christmas dinners, Christmas parties, Christmas concerts - - and Christmas bills - - that we have no room for Christmas itself. Yet the miracle and the wonder are still there and sometimes in all the rush we experience them. at Beware of Carbon Monoxide The Reason is here when reports are published that so-and-so was found unconscious—or dead— in his car or garage, an unsuspecting victim of carbon monoxide poisoning. Such happens many times each winter, regardless of the fact that warnings are made in the press annually. Carbon monoxide is colourless, odourless, the first warning - - if there is a warning - - is an overpowering sleepiness which means that only seconds remain. For safety there are a couple of “does", and an important “don’t” The first “do” is always have a car window open a little whether driving, or waiting with motor running to keep iwann. The second “do” is to make sure that all exhaust fittings on the car are tight to prevent leakage. Above all “DON’T” run a car or truck motor in a closed garage. Under freak conditions, even these rules will not guarantee safety but will allow a chance to reduce the average number of deaths each win­ ter. Again we warn motorists: Beware of carbon monoxide!—Simcoe Reformer. Treated Seed Combats Disease In addition to eliminating one more exalting job on the already busy farm, the purchase of seed from seed cleaning plants will go a long Way in combating the loss from smut and other seed-borne diseases, the Crops Branch of the Ontario Department of Agricul­ ture said today. In step with modern farming practices most seed plants in the Province are now fully equipped to treat seed. A* a result farmers, and other seed buyers, may now purchase their seed supplies fully cleaned, treated, bagged and clearly marked as to variety and grade. “Considering all these advan­ To one and all we wish you - - - THE MERRIEST CHRISTMAS EVER with a HAPPY NEW YEAR to come Rose Beauty Salon MISS BERNICE WILSON .

Professor Raithby stated that the cattle population of Ontario was slightly lower than in 1900, but that the dollar value was ten times as great. Even in the past ten years the value of the cattle population had increased from 200,000,000 to 681,000,000.Allan Gilmour, Chairman ofthe bull buying committee report­ed that an option had been takenon three bulls in California.—TheHolstein-Friesian Association Canada, Brantford ,Ontario. Cattle Population Down Since 1900 But Value Is Up Speaking at the annual meet­ ing of the Oxford and District Cattle Breeding Association heldDec. 16th at Woodstock, Dr. J. R. MacDonald, Manager of the Unit, sated that: “It seems probable that a practical method of stor­ ing semen indefinitely at low tem­ peratures will be developed with­ in the next few years and this will have a profound effect on the program of the artificial breeding units in this country. It will en­ able the breeder to secure the service of the ibull he wants (when he wants it and will make it pos­ sible for semen to be collected and stored while a bull is being proven, after which he can be heavily used.”Professor George E. Raithbyof the Ontario Agricultural Col­lege, Guelph, stated that jointexperiments were being con­ducted by tbe Ontario Veterinary inside a small container was hon-l ored recently on the 260th anni-] versary of hi* birth, according toAmerican Can Company.

Swing to the purchase of treat­ ed seed from cleaning plants was emphasized at a recent meetingof the Seed Marketing and Pub­ licity Committee, of the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Asso­ ciation. At the same time the Commit­ tee recommended suggested price*for cereal seed* as follows: Oats-Commercial No. 1 grade, $1.50 per bus.; IRegistered No. 1 grade. $1.75 per bus.. Barley—Commercial No. 1grade, $2.25 per bus.; CertifiedNo. 1 grade, $2.60 per bus.; Reg­ istered No. 1 grade, $2.75 per bus. These prices are from 10 centsto 20 cents per bushel less for oats than at the same time lastyear, and are based on retail sales at local shipping point* for treated seed, with bags included. Committee members reported supplies of good seed are scarce, particularly in some sections of the Province, and1 that there is continued appreciation of Ontario grown seed in the U.S.A., as shown by keen demand* for ex­ port In connection with seed* of gnu«ses and clovers, supplies are more plentiful and price* are likely to be lower than a year ago. The Committee, therefore,recommended that farmers should do well to take advantageof this situation, to seed downmore land to suitable mixtures,in keeping with good conserva­tion practice*, and the trend to­ward grassland farming by wayof improved silage, hay and pas­ture.

For once again we hear the words, the age-old “Peace on earth, Good will to men.” We hear and hope that as the old year wends its way into memory, the newer January heralds, in truth, peace on this earth, good will ’mongst men. For forty-five years, starting in Niagara Falls, North Amer­ ican Cyanamid has operated and produced for Canadian better­ men and the betterment of the free world in the spirit which began with but a handful of employees so many years ago. A spirit which has grown and prospered through the mutual trust and confidence of Cyanamid employees and Cyanamid manage­ ment. At this Yuletide season, nearly half a century later, the Cyan­ amid Christmas greeting is extended to you by 2,300 Canadian members of the Cyanamid family who, with faith in their com­ pany, work for their country’s growth at three Cyanamid divis­ ions, the Welland Works, the Niagara Falls plant and the Inger­ soll Quarry. North American Cyanamid basic chemicals, produced by the 2,300 Cyanamid employees, are processed for use in countless articles ranging from life-saving drugs to materials essential to the defence of Canada and the United Nations. These are among the Cyanamid products which have given us as Canadians one of the highest standards of living the world knows today. This is the approach of industry’s men and manage­ ment to peace of mind for peace on earth through steady jobs for its employees and “the good things of life” for our fellow citizens.

Questions for discussion were: "Do you think that the UnitedNations offer hope for WorldPeace?” The group thought thatit did help toward world peacebecause the nations discuss prob­lems peacefully. However, it isimpossible to insure world peacebecause any one nation can vetodiscussions. United Nations havej Dinner Party Is Enjoyed by Cheese Co.

When putting the flowers in vases, cut the stems at a slant to provide a wide, fresh entrance for the water to penetrate. If they have a big woody stem, smash the stem up for about two inches to allow for a free intakeof water. Cut flowers are susceptible todrafts and excessive heat andwill last longer if these conditionscan be avoided. Close to windowsand immediately above hot waterpipes or hot air registers are notsuitable places for flowers. Actu­ally the average living room is too warm for most cut flower*and it ia always advisable tomove them at’night into the cool­est place in the house. Forty de­grees is ideal, but even a fewdegrees cooler than the livingroom would be beneficial.Some florists supply a flowerpreservative when flowers areordered. Used according to direc­tions it will help to prolong thelife of the flowers. It does this byslowing down bacterial growth in the water which clogs up thestems and prevents the flowers from getting sufficient water. And as it also prevents slime from forming, frequent changesof water are unnecessary. F.

They also have drawn names to exchange Christmas gifts for their uarty. which is a direct aid totain peace. Question 2—"How can we, asCanadian citizens, help bringpeace the world?” Support theUnited Nations. It was decidedthat we must be willing to sellfoodstuffs to needy countries at low prices and we should alwaysvote and vote wisely. Question 3 — "Some peoplethink a world government will benecessary before lasting peace isinsured.” A world governmentwould not insure world peace.Provinces within a country can­not agree on some issues; how­ever, they do not go to war be­cause they are of the same na­tionality. If countries underworld government disagreed theymight go to war because of dif­ferent nationality. The churchtells us there will never be lastingpeace until all people are work­ing for the Kingdom of Heaven.If we had lasting peace we wouldhave heaven on earth.

(For example, at 40 m.p.h. the distance should be a minimum of four car-lengths.) This can eliminate much of the hazard of highway travel by making “safety pockets” in whichto stop if danger threatens.And, when following anothercar at night, lower your headlightbeam.

This is a very strong teamand their first game will be withCrumlin on Boxing night, FridayDecember 26th. These are two out­standing teams and should pro­ vide plenty of action. As you will recall last season these two teams played off for second position and it was either one’s game. Two other-'games are scheduled for Friday night. Centreville will play Salford and the fact that Centreville* is tied for first placewith CrumHn is no cause to thinkthat this will be a one-sided affair.Salford has been bolstered withsome new players and plenty ofoutside coaching and are improv­ ing as time goes on. They held Crumlin to a 1-0 score at end of the first period and a 5-1 score at end of a game last week. And not to be forgotten are the minors, the coming hockey stars. Thamesford vs Crumlin will be well worth watching in their games at 7 p.m. The South Oxford League has organized for over 30 consecutive years and are appealing to the rural fans to come out and support them. These boys provide goodhockey and have considerable ex­pense which is worthy of support,so fans come out Boxing night andenjoy a good night’s fun.Revised S. O.
