birth of Jesus.- They were buoyed by the greatest hopes for peace \u2014justified or not\u2014since the start of the cold war.Although officials were skeptical, millions in Europe felt the threat of war had ebbed with the signing of the Korean truce and indications that the Soviet goverenment is paying more attention to its people at home than to spreading the Cdmmunist gospel abroad.But some trouble spots still blotched the world's face as the faithful prepared for the birthday of the prince of peace.French union troops struggled on in j their war against the Communist-led Vietminh rebels in Indochina.British forces stood guard in Malaya against jungle forays by Red Chinese guerrillas and in Africa's Ke-nye colony against attacks by the anti-white Mau Mau tribesmen.In Korea, a special airlift flew tons 1 of last-minute Christmas mail to the thousands of United Nations troops still stationed there.Special services marked Christmas Eve observances on the now quiet front.Pilgrims poured into the little town of Bethlehem, the birthplace of Christ.Fears that Arab-Israeli tension along the border dividing the Holy Land might frighten tourists away proved unfounded.The greatest influx of visitors since the 1948 Palestine war was in prospect.Carol singers spread lheir traditional messages of cheer in.cities, towns and villages throughout the world.At United Nations headquarters in New York, singers from several countries serenaded workers and visitors wilh carols in English, Spanish and French.The unusual note in Pittsburgh symbolized the times.Steel mills will be closed Friday.Their fiery converters, pouring out the raw material for the Second World War, the reconversion to the brief peace and then the Korean war, had lighted the city's skies every Christmas since the global conflict began.Britain and western Europe prepared for their best Christmas since before the war.More food and consumer goods in most countries promised a happier yuletide than many ' youngsters could remember.In France, however, a strike of mail sorters brought fears that many Christmas cards and gift packages would arrive late.A strike of airport employees hampered Paris-bound holidayers and holiday-travelling Parisians.Pope Pius touched off world-wide spiritual observ-i ances this morning with his 15th annual Christmas broadcast to the world, Vatican radio rebroadcast the message in 25 languages and beamed them around the world.Britain's festivities will be highlighted by the Queen's annual Yule broadcast on Christmas morning.The Queen, now on a world

made as regards race or religion or social stand-1 ing.Sherbrooke's service clubs, acting in close co-operation with each other and with the other groups | have also been most active in helping needy families and spreading the true Christmas spirit.The Rotary Club, as is their yearly custom have sent out baskets of new clothing to 75 families, with personal deliveries being made by individual Rotarians.The Optimists Wednesday evening delivered baskets of Christmas goods to 32 families, including 190 children.The total content of the baskets was: 32 pounds of butter, 190 bags of popcorn,

MAY MITCHELL REG\u2019D 70 Albert St.AND STAFF Sherbrooke Tel.2-1422 ern Townships Telephone Company is essentially the story of Carlos Skinner.A jeweller and watchmaker by profession, he was a man of boundless energy with an abiding curiosity in new scien-lific developments.He first became intrigued with the possibilities of the telephone as a result of a series of articles about the new invention in the \"Scientific American,\u201d of which he was an avid reader.Following an article giving full details of the instrument in October, 1877, he determined to build a telephone for himself This he did, with the assistance of a friend, in 10 days.Having the telegraph agency for Waterloo at this time \u2014 he had opened a jewellery store there in 1859\u2014he connected his instrument to the telegraph line to Montreal and spoke with the Montreal office.This call, over a distance of 60 miles, is one of the earlier long distance conversations to take place in Canada.Moving to Sherbrooke in 1878, Mr.Skinner opened a jewellery and watchmaking store which is still carrying on business under the direction of his grandson, Carlos C.Skinner.In January, 1880, the City of Sherbrooke ordered from Mr.Skinner a complete fire alarm system, based on plans w hich he had earlier submitted.This system consisted of 13 fire alarm boxes and was personally constructed by Mr.Skinner in his Strathcona Square shop (near where the court house now stands) and, considerably enlarged and somewhat improved, is still in use in Sherbrooke.This project was to have some unforeseen consequences, for it indirectly resulted in Mr.Skinner getting into the telephone business in competition with the Bell Company.Appointed Bell agent in 1880.he obtained some 130 subscribers in the lace of determined opposition on the part of the Dominion Telephone Company which was offering lower rates.Then, through a misunderstanding arising from a dispute between Mr.Skinner and By The Canadian Dress Christmas 1953 may not be the 1 whitest but it is one of the brightest Yuletide seasons in Canada in many years.Stores, homes and streets throughout the Dominion are decked with millions of lights and gay decorations.The main attraction in Edmonton is a 50-foot civig Christmas tree near Jasper avenue with 400 ! lights.Winnipeg homes are ablaze with what is described as the most colorful display of lights and decorations seen in the last 20 years.A lack of snow, however, is an almost general complaint of Canadians.Except for isolated areas in the south-central Drairies and northern Ontario, the countryside from the Maritimes to Vancouver has taken on an unseasona! look.High temperatures and barren fields are frustrating skiers and other win.\u2022 ter sportsmen.The outlook in New Brunswick is a little whiter; the weatherman has promised a possibility of a white Christmas.Colder weather was also welcomed in Montreal after residents were pelted with rain and thunderstorms.Today marks the homestretch lor Canadian commercial interests who have outdone themselves with elaborate window displays, Christmas shopping services and advertising campaigns.Many stores have adopted a policy of late closing hours to accommodate last-minute shoppers, while a Winnipeg credit jeweller is offering for sale anything in the store up to New Year's Day without a down payment.Once wide-open.Montreal will be somewhat less gay this veal due to early closing regulations imposed by the Quebec government.But Montrealers novcrlhe-less were making big preparations for private celebrations.Holiday liquor law offenders are being dealt with severely by Ontario police who have launched a clean-up campaign with indlvi dual fines for driving while impaired as high as $500.They have also raided private office parties.Arctic inhabitants are also in for their share of Christmas treats.Operation Santa Claus, the RCAE's annual jaunt up north will bring mail and goodies to government employees at isolated posts and police detachments In Quebec's l.aurentian ski country, 50 miles north ol Mont real, a Christmasy village with the name of \"Santa Claus\" has lit traded 150.000 visitors since it opened seven weeks ago.Most Canadians are planning celebrations right at home but thousands of others will be tra veiling via plane, ship, highway and railways to be with loved ones.Transportation officials in New Brunswick expect to handle a record rush.f\u2019Li émII -n ' Morning Fire Destroys House, Garage, Property Of Gordon Robinson At Ascot 600 Children\tLenncxviiie High Receive
