worth while if we only set about doing it in the right way.We can use it to our profit if we will make up our minds to get rid of a lot of useless encumbrances that, weed-like, are hindering our mental growth and development.I used to make New Year resolutions when I was younger\u2014I do yet, as far as that goes\u2014 but not in quite the same way.I give them a little more consideration now, for I find that promises rashly made are easily forgotten.Many of us are apt to be carried away with a sudden conversion from old faults, and imagine that we immediately become new créations, and endowed with angelic attributes.But we don't.We've got to do something more than merely make promises.We've got to dump overboard all the old grievances and estrangements and selfishness and foolish ways and replace them with sympathetic and considerate understanding and worth-while friendships.Then with love and kindness and good cheer in our hearts, with a smile and a song on our lips, with courage to help over the rough spots, may we press onward with new clean hopes and high resolutions to find the coming New Year one wonderful glorious adventure.As we conclude this year of 1940 we cannot help looking back over the past years of work and achievements that have taken place in the Chateauguay Valley.1940 has certainly been a record year for the District of Beau- harnois.The industrial expansion that has taken place in this area has been varied and perhaps only exceeded when the Beauharnois Power Corporation development took place a few years ago, or when The Montreal Cottons Company built their extensive mills in Valley- field.As a result of all the industrial work that has taken place in our District in 1940 some 7,000 additional souls have taken up residence in our midst.Present indications point to this figure being considerably increased in 1941.The past twelve months have been busy months, especially for those instrumental in arranging for the manufacture of war supplies.The making of war supplies goes to all parts of Canada, but in this respect it seems as though the Beauharnois District has come in for a very considerable share of this essential work.The laborers required to perform the industrial tasks are unquestionably working hard and putting their very best into their work so that the equipment that eventually reaches the army of fighters will cause no complaint.The industrial workers, as well as the men in the enlisted army for overseas service, are working to defeat Hitler.We salute the new year just around the corner and hope that it will bring plausible answers to the important problems that confront our Empire.May the new year also bring new enthusiasm to every citizen in the Beauharnois District that will carry through in the form of increased war effort and production with an adequately increased compensation revenue.The Year in Retrospect INCE 1929, as we looked over each year in retrospect it always seemed as though we had a good deal to be thankful for, yet there was an untold amount of liardship being suffered throughout our land due to the depression, drought in our Canadian West, lack of adequate markets for our fishermen of the Maritimes and insufficient markets for the provinces that were blessed with favorable climatic conditions.As we now look at 1940 in retrospect, we find it has been a year of plenty, great industrial advances and everybody placed in a position to provide for themselves without looking for relief from our Federal or Provincial governments.The unfortunate part of this boom of 1840 is that it has been brought about due to the exasperating desires of the Nazis.If fight we must, the people of the British Empire have always proved themselves equal to the task and have again, as our King has said, \u201cGot our feet placed in the path of victory.\u201d The Gleaner has long served this Chateau- guay Valley and as we look over the file for the past year, we feel it has been one of our banner years.JANUARY In the month of January the Gebbie family at Howick celebrated their 100th anniversary of according Post Office service in the Howick area.\u2018This is an enviable record of service to Canada which could not go by without being acknowledged in the columns of our local weekly.The Chateauguay Valley, as far as the Protestant public is concerned, has tonsolidated schools at Howick, Hemmingford, Ormstown, Huntingdon and Dundee.The rural scholars for these schools are transported by bus and of the acores of buses that are used daily for this purpose, we must offer thanks for the garefulness of the drivers, for no serious in- juries have occurred during their years of service.It was on January 10th that a school bus was hit by a train at Ste.Agnes, fortunately the nine occupants escaped injury.On January 23rd Roy Angell of English River won the coveted Dominion Marksman Expert Shield for outstanding marksmanship.That Club had the good fortune to win the honors as a team during the past few weeks.We heard little of this sport for a great many years, but in the early days of the Chateau- guay Valley many of our pioneers were recorded as crack shots when rifle matches were held.It is even gratifying to know that this sport has been revived, especially when we find our country at war and the experience so gained proves such a valuable asset to our mien.FEBRUARY The month of February saw Canada bereaved of its Governor-General, Lord Tweeds- muir, whose passing took place on the 11th of the month.The passing of Lord Tweedsmuir was gravely felt throughout the Dominion, but perhaps especially so in this district, for only à year previous Lady Tweedsmuir had favored the Women's Institute of the Chateauguay Valley with her presence.On the 14th of February construction started on the new mill to be known as Spinners Limited.Today this mill is running at top speed employing a great many hands.With Canada at war, it was natural to expect we would be called upon to supply the British Isles with their requirements of bacon, replacing their source of supply which was Denmark.Whilst the bacon market has not always been most favorable, it is gratifying to note that the first honors for the production of quality pork in the Province of Quebec fell to the farmers of Beauharnois county.It has often been said that the people today do not live to the great old age as did our pioneers, but this we do not believe is correct, for a year ago a great number of deaths recorded in the Gleaner were of people still in excess of 90 years of age.It was on the 25th of February that Miss Mary Ann Cunningham observed her 90th birthday and to this day trips about visiting amongst her many friends and relatives and incidentally willing to care for her friends who may be confined to bed with colds.MARCH The month of March saw a new industrial firm formed in Huntingdon, for on March 6th Fawcett & Grant Limited was accorded its charter.They opened up for business on May 1st and from that day on have been operating day and night manufacturing serge cloths of a very fine quality.On the 11th of March, 3¢ women entered the Home Nursing Classes, which were held in the Fire Hall.Donald E.Black, Aubrey (Liberal) and J.A.Robinson, Lacolle, (Conservative) were nominated for the Federal election and when the election returns were announced on the 26th, it was found that Mr.Black was not only elected with a large majority, but had a majority at every poll throughout the constituency.The vote was small due to unfavorable weather conditions and little interest being exemplified in the election.On the 14th of March the farmers in the Ste.Martine area established a Flax Co-Oper- ative, knowing that flax would be needed for war purposes, APRIL On April 2nd the pupils of Huntingdon High School entered the new quarters of the new High School building.A great deal of sickness is at present prevalent throughout Eastern Canada, but it is gratifying to note that when so many schools were obliged to close a day or two early at Christmas, the Huntingdon school was able to attend classes, all of which goes to show the new school building affords protection to the scholars and preserves health, On April 10 the making of maple sugar was in full swing and the quality and quantity of the product made last spring was one of the finest on record.On the same date, the 10th, the first annual meeting of the Barrie Memorial Hospital was held in Ormstown.This hospital has already proved itself to be a very valuable asset not only to Ormstown but to the Chateauguay Valley at large.It was on the 29th of April that Mr.H.R.Graham received word of having received high honors for a fleece of wool which he entered in competition at the Golden Gate International Exposition at San Francisco.The rearing of sheep is not common today in our district but expressions by authorities in this industry are to the effect that our farmers might well consider having a small flock on all farms, and if such were done the farmers in tum would force the necessary legislation to effect a protection for the sheep against dogs.On the 29th of April the Bell Telephone Company celebrated its Diamond Jubilee and at about the same date announced that Huntingdon would be accorded an automatic dial service in the fall.This service came into reality on December 2nd and has already proved to be very satisfactory and appreciated by all subscribers.MAY On the 10th of May the local Y.M.C.A.campaign organizers announced that Huntingdon had contributed $551.60.Campaigns previous to this have been conducted for the Salvation Army, Canadian Legion, Bren Gun and in the fall one for the Red Cross.All the campaigns have met with a remarkable success and whilst the donations have not been of large denominations, the feature that has amazed the organizers is the willingness of so many to do what they can and contribute even though the subscriptions are small.This is a wonderful thing and is Indeed much more gratifying then receiving a few large subscriptions, for it goes to prove that the masses are interested and willing to support worthy causes which will lend assistance directly or indirectly to aid the Allies, On the 22nd of May suspicion of Fifth Column activities was evidenced at Hemmingford 80 the people voluntarily organized themselves into a home guard which ultimately took the form of a Civilian Protection Committee Unit.This unit has been instrumental in effecting an arrest and capture of 41 and perhaps more Germans who were endeavouring to cross the International boundary at that point.On the same date, May 22nd, the Canadian Ayrshire Review, which is the official organ of the Canadian Ayrshire Breeders\u2019 Association celebrated its 20th anniversary of publication.Mr, Frank Napier, Ottawa, is the editor, whilst the Huntingdon Gleaner has been the publisher since the inception of the magazine.On May 24th the official opening of the Huntingdon High School took place, and on the day following a sports program was arranged for the students of this district.JUNE June first saw Huntingdon bereaved of a minister who was loved by all, whether of the local United Church, or of another denomination.The passing of the Rev.J.H.Miller, D.D., suddenly occurred in his home.On June 30th, a celebration took place at the International Boundary Line, Trout River, that was perhaps unique across the Dominion, and certainly would make history were it to happen in any European country.On that date a Military field service was observed at the International Boundary marking the Dominion Day for Canada and Independence Day for the Americans.JULY On July 10th Private Thomas Dent of Val- leyfield was accidentally shot and killed at the St.Hubert Airport, thereby marking the first fatality of local boys in this second Great War.On July 10th it was announced that a $12,- 000,000 contract had been let for the building of an explosives plant near Valleyfield, which has since become a reality, and is to go into production manufacturing explosives at a very early date.This industrial boom in Beauharnois District has been very much augmented since that date, due to the fact that other industrial plants have been built or are in the course of construction.Falr was held at Howick.School fairs were quite generally held this year and from all indications we believe they are due to further expansion and to increase In numbers under the careful supervision and guidance of agronomist R.J.M.Reid.The end of September saw the Rebekahs celebrate their 25th annual district meeting in Huntingdon, whilst on the 25th to 27th the W.C.T.U.held their 56th annual convention in our midst.OCTOBER Louis Lalonde, one of the much favored young fellows in softball, met an untimely death when killed in a car accident near Caza- ville.It was on October 9th that the first lot of trainees arrived at the Chateauguay Military Training Centre.At the end of the month the Elgin Presbyterian Church celebrated its 50th anniversary of the building of the present edifice.The services held on Sunday were largely attended when the former minister, Rev.J.J.Hutchinson, Essex Junction, Vermont, was the guest speaker.N.W.Sparrow, who had been the manager of the Bank of Montreal since this branch was opened in Huntingdon, was superannuated.NOVEMBER It was on November 7th that the Commanding Officer, Lt.-Col.C.C.Brooks and his staff of the Chateauguay Military Training Centre were honored by the citizens of Hun- tingdon at a Banquet in the Chateau.Due to the fact that Lt.-Col.Brooks and his officers and N.C.O.'s were here on November 11th, the Remembrance Day ceremonies at the War Memorial took on a pronounced military atmosphere, for the organizing of this ceremony.The local Legion was responsible On November 12th nine men lost their lives when a tug capsized at Valleyfield.This tug was being used in connection with dredging work on the Beauharnois Power Canal.DECEMBER On the 17th of July the hazardous old bridge at Athelstan was set to be replaced by A beautiful new concrete bridge was erected by D.J.O'Connor, the cost Much credit for this improvement is due Mr.J.W.Ross, M.L.A.On the 22nd of July a little cyclone struck the Chateauguay Valley, doing a tremendous amount of damage to the field crops and light a concrete bridge.of which was $10,500.buildings.AUGUST Military honors were accorded Coburn.Cle- land when he received the Distinguished Fly- Coburn has been with the Royal Air Force since 1938.This, we believe, is the first decoration accorded to a boy from the Chateauguay Valley for distinguished services ing Medal.during the present war.On the 30th of August eight employees of the Dominjon Construction Company lost their lives when the rowboat which they were in capsized in the Cedar Rapids.SEPTEMBER The month of September opened with a grand Garden Party for the various Women's Institutes of the Chateauguay Valley.The Garden Party was sponsored by the Hunting- don Gleaner and was favored with the presence, as distinguished guests, the Hon Cairine Wilson, Mrs.Marcus Dimsdale and Mr.Tracy On the day following the Rev.Thomas Knowles was inducted as minister of Philipps.the Huntingdon United Church.On September 7th the 28th Annual School June of 1941.ber.On December 2nd it was unanimously agreed that the Ormstown Show should be held in On the 4th of December it was announced that H.St.Denis of the Borden Company of Ormstown was awarded the silver | trophy for the second consecutive year for the manufacturing of the best cheese during Octo- Due to the early cold weather in December the Huntingdon Skating Rink opened its doors for the season on the 7th of the month, the earliest on record.The Clouston family celebrated their fifty years of service in the medical profession in Huntingdon in December, whilst the actual date should have been in September.The District Medical Association were favored with an address by Dr.H.R.Clouston, who spoke of the progress in the medical profession, espec- jally in the rural areas since 1899.Sad news was received in Canada on December 14th when it was announced that the Hon.Gordon W.Scott of Montreal, was a victim of a U-Boat torpedoeing the Prince,\u201d of which Mr.Scott was a passenger.On December 28th a large delegation of men from the Chateauguay Valley attended a memorial service held in Montreal in honor of Hon.Gordon W.Scott.On this same date, December 14th, word was received of the untimely death in England of Private Cameron Brims Elder, son of Mr, and Mrs.George Elder of Athelstan.\u201cWestern (30)

always found it excellent, but this was his first trip on the Canadian lines and he stated that there are many differences in the service.The Canadian line makes no great show but deals with the flights as a public matter of business without any grandstand exhibitions in the way of announcing who is about to board a plane.The Canadian planes are a great deal faster; as a matter of fact they appeared to be hovering around 240 miles per hour.From St.Hubert to Detroit, a distance of about 600 miles, it takes but four hours\u2019 time, and this includes stops at Ottawa, Toronto and London,

of town.Audrey smiled her agreement.Their friendship suddenly had renewea its old-time basis and both of them were relieved from the constraint that had seemed to shadow their recent meetings, \u201cBesides,\u201d Victor announced cheerfully, \u201cthere's a rival in the offing.\u201d He nodded in the direction of the drive where a small touring car of ancient vintage was rolling up.Vic

For days before Christmas she had gone out with her mother, who was the only woman councillor of the city and head of the special Christmas Relief Committee, to help distribute gifts of clothes to the 3,000 chillren of Gdynia whose parents had employment in the summer, but none in the winter.The day before Christmas her father, Commodore Stefan Fran- kowski, second in command in the Polish Navy, went out with the admiral from ship to ship in the harbor and took part in the ceremony of breaking \u201cGod\u2019s bread\u201d (a thin tasteless pastry) with the officers of each warship, who would in turn do the same with their men.Christmas in Poland But with the approach of Christmas Eve, there came the time for celebration of the great religious event-\u2014the birth of a little Child in a stable at Bethlehem almost 2,000 187 y \u2014 .Pat- etylene e, t, fr ; t, with G Box 85 change arke ntreal adian ice, ngdon ice in day, in 111 243 Dry 4 .ê Ay BY t \u2018 a ) * 1 4 {15 Mr.and Mrs.W.A.Rice, Orms- vears ago.It was on Christmas Eve, rather than Christmas Day, that the traditional dinner was held, and the familiar turkey of the Anglo- Saxon Christmas was not part of the meal at all.Otherwise, the preparations were somewhat like ours.volanta helped to fix the Christmas tree, quite as is done in Canada, and old Saint Nicholas, rather than Santa Claus, did his part.Not until the first star had been seen in the heavens, did the ysit down to eat, for it was believed that they too would have to wait for the star, just as did the Wise Men long ago.But the table that Yolanta sat down to would be a queer one to our eyes.It had been set with a clean layer of hay, symbolical of the ° humble birth of Jesus in a stable.On this hay were laid the individual table-napkins.Throughout the meal Yolanta revived the old custom of pulling out a stalk of hay with one of the other members of the family; tradition had it that the one who pulled the longer stalk would live the longer life.In some of the aristocratic homes of her city, for this one meal in the vear all the family, including the servants, sat down to eat at the same table.The meal would always close with a dessert, a special dish Thinking Back wee and .Looki Merriment of Christmas State of Peace or a With a Young Polish Girl By DONALD C.MACDONALD made of poppy seeds, a sort of orange peel made into a jam, and cream.At midnight, everybody went to church.That was a ha C - mas for Yolanta.ppy Christ Christmas in London One year passed.Yolanta spent the Christmas of 1939 in London.But those had been a grim twelve months! On the previous August 31 she had gone with her mother to Warsaw, that there she might start to school.The next morning the Germans started to pour bombs into the city.After one week of the ceaseless din which nearly drove her mad, she left with her mother and brother for eastern Poland.They were bombed all along the may, but after some days of travel reached what they thought would always be peace and quiet.But soon the relentless German bombers had caught up with them again, and finally they were swept over by the Red tide of Russian invasion from the east, For two months they lived under the Soviet occupation, and then by à strange quirk of fate, the city of Vilna in which they wete living.was given by Russia to Lithuania.Later, in exchange, Russia took the whole of Lithuania, but in those intervening weeks, Yolanta got to the outer world, and eventually to Lon- con.There she celebrated Christmas last year.Her father was not with her.for after a heroic stand at the Peninsula of Hela, off Gdynia, in his capacity of chief of the coastal defences, he had been captured, and was à prisoner of war in Germany.Yolanta attended a Christmas celebration with 150 other Polish refugees.It was at this gathering, sponsored by the wife of the Polish consul in London, that she saw the first Christmas turkey of which she had heard and read so much, She went to the party with her uncle, Major Dobrowolski, assistant military attache at the Polish embassy.She received a little present, and at midnight on Christmas Eve she went with all the others to a little Polish church down in the slums of London where they sang hymns and Polish songs in their own language.The next day Yolanta attended a Christmas tree put on by the Polish Relief Pund, organized by British people, and received another little present.To complete the day.all the children went with the wife of the Polish air attache to a Polish aviation camp on the outskirts of Lon- don.Does Not Depend Upon a State of Prosperity\u2014Christmas ng Ahead 9 A Year of Tragedy Another year has passed, and Yo- lanta spent Christmas 1940 in Mont- treal.But what a tragic year it has been! Three months ago her father died in a German prison camp, of \u201cstomach trouble\u2019\u2014so the Nazis sald.A few weeks later, her grandfather died in Warsaw.With 60 others Yolanta was invited to celebrate Christmas at the home of a Canadian lady who was born in Poland, but has lived here over 50 years.The Canadian National Committee for Refugees gave a great Christmas tree which was put up in & Polish club.That was the Christmas tree for all the Polish children.But it was a quiet Christmas, and one in which, for Yolanta, the happiness was tinged with sorrow.Yet back from boarding school where she has been all fall, she and her brother celebrated Christmas this year with all that they have left in this world\u2014their mother, and the future._ \u201cThere is a great new world being born these days,\u201d says their mother.time and time again, as she talks of these times.Though her children may not express that belief, they hold it nonetheless.And what is more, they live for it.Their lives have been wrecked.Their material wealth is gone.Like autumn leaves, they have been scattered to the four winds of heaven, to light where they may, until this storm which has burst over humanity has subsided.And yet, one of the most inspiring things in these grim days is that these people, as much as any other, have hope for the future.\u201cThere is a great new world being born these days.\u201d On the shambles of the old world they will build with all that they have\u2014their strength, their life, ther future.That a mere human being.with all his frailties, can be as strong as these, reveals an inner strength, a faith.It is a faith that flows down through the ages from the life and teachings of One.born in a manger.whose Birth once again has just been celebrated.Even for these whose lives have been so shattered this last year, it was a merry Christmas.For the merriment of Christmas depends, not upon a state of peace or a state of prosperity.\u201cIt arises from a condition in the hearts of those who celebrate the Holy Birthday\u2014 a condition of sincere faith that, whatever may be going on in the world, the purposes of God, which His Son came to reveal to men, are being worked out and must prevail.\u201d ; News of the Year 1940 Passes in Review \u2014 v (Highlights of News Events in this District during the past Year as Chronicled in the News Columns

as chairman, was the right man in the right place, and Rev.Mr.Day's message of fellowship and amity was much appreciated.To mention only a few items on an interesting programme, Mr.Troyer's violin solos, organ duets by Margaret and Keith Edwards, and the flag drill by Miss Hamilton's pupils followed by \u201cThere'll Always Be An England,\u201d were much enjoyed.Of course, Santa's visit was the crowning event of the evening.Miss Hamilton\u2019s generous permission to repeat the drill and other features of her school programme was greatly appreciated.Too much credit cannot be given to Mrs.C.B.Edwards for her untiring efforts, while thanks are due Mesdames Troyer and Mannagh, Miss Beulah Low- den, Messrs.G.W.Harrington and W.Widdowson, and all other friends who assisted in providing a happy evening for the chil- en.A little after 7 o'clock on the evening of Christmas Day the quiet was broken by an alarm of fire at \u201cKeithburn.\" Mr.and Mrs.Edwards and Margaret were supper guests at Mr.J.C.Barr's, and, like their neighbours, were immensely relieved on rushing home to find that the fire was not in either the dwelling or the main outbuildings, as was at first feared.The blaze was confined to a detached outhouse, built by the late Mr.G.B.Edwards for a bee-house, and being solidly constructed of lath and plaster, was quite a loss.Fortunately, the light breeze was westerly, because if it had been from the opposite direction, both house and barns would have caught fire, which might have spread to other properties.A sow and her 12 young pigs were safely gotten out from the fire.Miss Isabel Dowling has sold her farm to Mr.Mark H.Sample.Mrs.D.G.Steele and Mr.H.C.Steele paid a Christmas visit to the Old People\u2019s Home, Montreal.Mrs.Steele's friends were
