[" 52 ify op dell nts I'ge len | : RAW Abs HTT ET Ba?ry A Merry Christmas To All rer NINETIETH YEAR Francois Cleyn, Vice- President Textile Sales New Organization Takes in Four Mills in Huntingdon in New Set-up ouncement was made last we that Textile Sales Limited has purchased the St.Croix mill at Milltown, N.B.This announcement found considerable interest amongst Huntingdonians, because Leach Textiles Limited, Spinners Limited, Chateau Dyers Limited, all plants in Huntingdon, form a part of Textile Sales Limited.On Saturday the Gleaner had an interview with Mr.Francois Cleyn with a view to finding out just how this business organization was likely to work as far as Huntingdon was concerned.In short it appears to be a thing that will work to the general welfare of this community.In answer to our query as to how things should work, here in brief is what Mr.Cleyn had to say: \u201cAs you will notice the association of so many companies under competent management has been our answer to fight the recession in the textile industry and the tremendous competition that we have to sustain from imports from cheaper labour areas.It is hoped that this free association will provide steady employment and prevent the ups and downs to which the textile industry is so susceptible.I have great hopes that one of the biggest advantages of this association will be the tremendous opportunity that it will offer all members of our organization that show initiative and ability for promotion.\u201d Through this association and the important part that Francois E.Cleyn, Alec R.Tinker and Richard L.Tinker will be called upon to play will give Huntingdon a prom- | inent position in the Canadian textile field.Francois E.Cleyn will be Vice- President in charge of manufactur- Alan C.Salter, the President of Textile Sales Limited, who has been responsible for the formation of this organization is no stranger to Huntingdon because he was first associated with Leach Textiles Limited some twenty years ago.Mr.Cleyn informed the Gleaner that amongst the mills that constitute Textile Sales Limited some one mill or other will be in a position to make any kind of fabric that uses artificial fibre or wool; in other words, anything but cotton goods.Alan C.Salter, President of Textile Sales Limited, confirmed the purchase by Textile Sales Limited, of all the Rayon interests of Canadian Cottons Limited as of December 31, 1952.It was also revealed by Mr.Salter that commencing January 1, 1953 the merchandising and selling of the following companies will be handled by Textile Sales Limited: Artex Woollens Limited Leach Textiles Limited Chateau Dyers Limited Mattawin Textiles Limited Raymills Limited Rosamond Woolens Limited Spin-Tex Limited Spinners Limited St.Croix Mill Textile Weavers Limited No substantial change in personnel in the selling organizations of the above companies is contemplated, but the consolidation of the merchandising and selling of all these companies, representing their great product diversity, can only result in the most economical representation and the best possible customer service.Mr.Salter revealed that the purpose of the purchase of the Rayon Manufacturing Plants, and the con- ing of Textile Sales, in which capacity he will be responsible for the! operations of all the mills forming part of the group.He also insists | that despite the pressure brought: on him to move to a more central! location, he has decided to continue to reside in Huntingdon because of his sentimental attachment to the Huntingdon mills and the people of | Huntingdon.| Mr.Cleyn will continue to spend most of his time supervising the activities of the Huntingdon group.He feels that one of the principal reasons he has been able to accent these new responsibilities is the capable management he enjoys with Harry Wooler and Hugh Spencer.Alec R.Tinker will be President of Leach Textiles Limited, with which company he has been associated for the past twenty years.Alec \u2018Tinker will be a Director of Textile Sales in charge of mer- ehandising of all men's wear fab- cs.Richard L.Tinker will be a member of the management group and continue in his present capacity as Secretary-Treasurer of Leach Textiles Limited, Spinners Limited, Model Dye Works (Canada) Limited, Spin-Tex Limited and also Di- solidation of the selling activities of these companies to be as follows: (1) To diversify the manufacturing facilities of Textile Sales Limited.(2) To make the various associated companies less vulnerable in the highly competitive market the textile industry faces through increased manufacturing costs and import competition.(3) To more economically merchandise and sell the output of all the associated companies.(4) To pool the manufacturing and merchandising talents of the individual companies, to the benefit of all the associated companies.(5) To provide the facilities of manufacturing, selling, merchandising to other companies not presently associated with the group.While securing these advantages, each company will retain its full corporate entity, and each Plant will be operated on a local independent autonomous basis, with responsibility resting in the local management.Mr.Salter stated that in order to achieve these co-operative results the Board of Textile Sales Limited would be enlarged to include the following: rector of Chateau Dyers Limited.Christmas Seal Totals $903,00 Still Many More to Hear From Before Sale of Seals Completed Below we publish a further list of the contributions made to the

had been usefully active.While the regular annual sales had been cancelled, due to the embargo, the Red and White Show had undoubtedly been a striking new activity or effort.He believed that the Club should look forward to the coming year with considerable optimism.In that respect he particularly referred to the forthcoming lifting of the embargo.Secretary Archie Roy's reports and financial statement were considered to be eminently satisfactory and he was commended on the good service he had been giving to the club.Club disbursements totalled $627.70 of which $225.00 had been donated to Ormstown Exhibition\u2014 $100.00 to the Junior and 4H Club Sections; $125.00 in prizes in the Amateur herd class.The Club also donated $12500 to the Red and White Show, held at Havelock, in addition to the $50.00 grant for that Show by Canadian Ayrshire Breeders' Association.Francois Boulais, Secretary and Fieldman of the Quebec Ayrshire Club, briefly addressed the meeting.In referring to the Provincial Club's two sales at St.Hyacinthe, he said that, despite the embargo and its repercussions, these two sales were most gratifying and satisfactory indeed.As regards the Fall sale, 60 per cent of the purchasers were new men.During the year 13 Red and White Shows, including that of the H-H Club, had been held in the Province of Quebec with a total of 1,225 animals in competition.In that respect, he suggested that the aim should be more quality rather than great numbers.He also informed the meeting that the Provincial Club was computing all the Ayrshire R.O.P.records made in the Province of Quebec during the year, and that, as a result of the evaluation of same, a certificate would be given for the highest scoring records in each Club area.These certificates would be presented at the time of the Annual Meeting of the Quebec Ayrshire Society, which will be held at Montreal on February 19, on the day before the Annual Meeting of Canadian Ayrshire Breeders\u2019 Association.Mr.Boulals also announced that the annual calf sale, sponsored by the Quebec Ayrshire Soclety, would be held on the first of May, the annual fall sale on the thirteenth of September.Both sales will be held as usual at St.Hyacinthe.(Continued on page 7) In urging that all members Howick-Huntingdon Ayrshire Club Successful Meeting Strong Resolution Concerning the Margarine In an Ayrshire district such as'should attend the Annual Meetings of the Quebec Ayrshire Society and Canadian Ayrshire Breeders\u2019 Association, respectively, Mr.Boulais referred to the several important matters which will be presented to the Annual Meeting of the Associa- lion as announced in the current issue of the Review.Passed unanimously was a motion with respect to the Margarine and Vegetable Oils situation, described as one of the gravest menaces that has ever beset the dairy industry.In that resolution the efforts of The Dairy Farmers\u2019 of Canada! \u2018headed by Gilbert MacMillan as! President) were commended.Likewise the Legislation recently passed by Quebec's Legislature.It was requested, however, that the Executive Committee of Canadian Ayrshire Breeders\u2019 Association: \u201cMake provision on the Agenda of the forthcoming annual meeting of the said Association, whereby the Margarine, Vegetable Oils, etc.menace to the dairy industry as a whole may be fully discussed.\u201d It also requested that the said Executive Committee send a copy of the Resolution to the other purebred dairy cattle Associations along with suggestions that similar actions be taken at their forthcoming annual meetings.Copies will also be sent to the Huntingdon-Orm- stown Holstein Breeders\u2019 Olub and the Chateauguay Valley Jersey Cattle Club, respectively, with suggestions that they also gave consideration to this matter and subsequently request their National Associations to make provision for discussion of the Margarine situation at their forthcoming annual meetings.It was decided to hold a Barn Meeting and a Field-Day, respectively, but the arrangements with respect to both were turned over to the incoming board of directors.It was also decided to sponsor a Red and White Show at Havelock, if the necessary arrangements with that Fair Board can be made, failing same at some other appropriate place.During the course of the discussion which ensued the suggestion was made that an effort be made to stage the Red and White Show in the Ormstown Exhibition Arena and Barns, in conjunction with a Holstein \u201cBlack and White\u201d Show and a Jersey \u201cParish Show,\u201d respectively.However, no motion was made in that respect.The committee in charge of the \u201cRed and White\u201d show was highly commend - ed for its work, also Ralph PE.Lewis for his fine work as judge of that show.1 Judges were recommended as fol- ows: Ormstown Exhibition: Gilbert Muir, Lippitt Farm, Hope, R.I.Reserve \u2014 Donald McIntyre, Pinch, Ont.Huntingdon

Church was in charge of the Sunday School with the Christmas story presented in the form of a pageant entitled \u201cThe Sccret of Christmas.\u201d A tableau depicting the Nativity scene with hovering angels occupied the centre of the stage and was flanked by a speech choir.The Shepherds and Wise Men entered at their appropriate times while a modern family scene opened and closed the performance.Donald Cogland acted as narrator and Betty Moore was soloist.A duet by Gordon Ferry Jr.and Norman Clyde\u2014\"We Three Kings of Orient Are\"\u2014introduced the Wise Men.Four girls sang \u201cGloria In Excelsis\u201d and the angel chorus rendered the lovely 800-year- old carol, \u201cThe Priendly Beasts.\u201d Other carols were Bung by the group in unison.The church annex was well fllled and a generous offering was received for the work of the Sunday School.On Friday evening the children of the Sunday School were treated to a supper by the Evening Auxil- lary of the WMS.Following the supper the Beginners\u2019 Class presented a program of recitations and the little ones all came through in splendid fashion.\u2018Then came the event eagerly awaited by the boys and girls\u2014the arrival of Santa Claus, who distributed gifts and candy and oranges to all.Several Car Accidents Past Week Man Arrested For Breaking Windows Taxi in Accident An accident occurred on

4 groups\u2014A, B.C.D, according to their standing at, present.Pupils in the first two groups are doing good work, with in some cases, à wWenk- ness in one subject.The work of puplls in groups C and D Is unsatisfactory and greater effort is ner- essary.Generally speaking a grade of C means two weak subjects with a percentage of from 60 to 70, and D means more than two weak sub- Jecls with a percentage in the ff- ties.Too much importance should not be given to these first term marks, but on the other hand, they present a fairly accurate picture of the present standing of pupils In

THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1952 Editorial Notes.Once Again It\u2019s Christmas OMORROW, the whole Christian world T vil be celebrating the festive season of Christmas, December 25th, Christmas Day.In these parts of the world, Christmas is associated with wintry weather, snow, cold, sleigh bells and so forth.In other parts of the world, there may be no snow, no cold, but instead the weather is warm, the sun is shining and no sleigh can run.In those parts it is much harder to conjure up the same spirit of Christmas, everything is artificial or simulated \u2014 yet Christmas i erved just the same.* Pre matter what the weather.this Christian feast is probably the greatest one of all christian observances.It is the day on which a Saviour was born, the only begotten Son of God sent to save the world from sin.All who call themselves Christian believe in this and should observe the occasion accordingly.Associated with this day are the Three Wise Men who brought gifts to the Christ child, The Star which guided them on their way to Bethlehem, The Shepherds who heard the Angels\u2019 song and the Glory which shone upon the earth and the Peace and Goodwill which was brought to all men.We need to dwell upon these thoughts in this day and age, for it we be true Christians, this is the real reason for celebration.It is not the presents that pass from one to another at this time.The gifts mentipned were of the joy that Christ was born and that he had come to save the world, the people of that time used this method to show their great appreciation that a Saviour had been born to them.There was a need for it then as now and we should all remember what Christmas really means, not just treat it as an excuse for overindulgence and excesses.It is a happy time, a time when families that have been separated come together for a family re-union to renew family ties and to break bread one with another.So we say, let this be a happy Christmas for everyone.A Native Son Passes To Great Reward UNTINGDON has been the home of H many who have carved names for themselves in public life and we are naturally proud that our native sons have done so well.But time comes when- the great reaper calls these sons to an even greater reward after serving a useful life on this earth.One such son was called last week in the person of Charles Nelson Crutchfield, LL.D.Principal of the Shawinigan Falls Technical Institute for the past 29 years and a member of Quebec's Protestant Committee of Education.The late Dr.Crutchfield took his early education at Huntingdon Academy and graduated in Arts from McGill University in 1908.He taught for several years in various schools and was Principal of Huntingdon Academy until he was appointed Principal of the Technical Institute.He did much for education in this Province and was deeply interested in all matters pertaining to same.In this, the Province has sustain a great loss.He was highly esteemed by all in the profession and well known in a wide field of public acquaintances outside.Dr.Crutchfield was a keen curler and follower of the game and served in many capacities in connection with several outstanding Curling Clubs.The Currie Report - Who Is To Blame?N° Éoubt by this time, most people have read the Currie Report or heard about it and perhaps have noticed the re-actions in the Federal Parliamentary circles Of course it is just one of those things on what we might say is the eve of an election, which the various groups in the Opposition seize upon to make good propaganda.However, there is no doubt something is amiss in the defence angle and that which goes with it to make it up.We read about horses being on the payroll of the army, materials being used for other purposes and charged up to construction, lhetts from a certain camp and dams that have been built and nicknamed.In some cases these things have come about through the dishonesty of some members having to do with the supplies, etc.These would be quite hard to trace unless someone actually had evidence of the transactions.On the other hand there may be plenty of evidence of other matters which perhaps the officials have ignored.or thought well of.Members in Opposition benches have loudly cried for the resignation of the Defence Minister and even the Prime Minister, because these things have come to pass.Everyone is entitled to a fair trial when being accused of something, so why demand that these men take full blame and be called upon to resign.There should be a full enquiry into the whole situation and meantime a tightening up in all places where the irregularities have been charged to exist.After such has taken place.then, and then only, should the charges be made against personnel.True the public is paying a pretty penny for defence works of all kinds and we do not want to be paying for something for which we get no benefit.If there are people who are dishonest, or who have no sense of responsibility, then by all means find out who they are and have a reckoning.It matters not whether they be at the top or the bottom, if they are not to be trusted, they should not be there.In the case of the thefts at the army camp, these were dealt with quickly as soon as they were known about and the Defence Minister did not dilly-dally around.It was probably thought then that the matter was cleared up.Some excuse must be made for the way the defence officials are working, for they are building up the unknown quantity against the unknown outbreak, under peacetime conditions.This is a situation that has perhaps never existed before.In wartime, the officials build against the potential strength of what they know to be against them and then provide for the possibilities.Under present conditions we have the possibilities only, we are not sure that we have an enemy, we only have a suspect.We do have a war on the one hand, but on the other we have an army that is merely standing by awaiting eventualities that may never come.Nevertheless, we must keep up the strength of both of these and provide in addition for the possibilities of which we can only sec through a darkened screen.The fear is that if we let up \u2014 we may be attacked.vet if we keep on we may do so for ever.We do not believe that anv government past or present has ever had such a problem to handle.Is it anv wonder then that there will be mistakes.and costly mistakes at that?: Would the people rather that the government quit its defence plan on the understanding that nothing has happened so far and it is not likely to do so in the future.We have heard much of the stockpiling of various types of materials and equipment for defence and why spend the money and so forth.If we were to be plunged suddenly into a full scale war, how long would these supplies last?No one has asked that question.Would we be playing fair with the rest of signers of the various pacts, if we were to lie down on the job and say we are not going to do more?By all means check up on those things which go astray, but let's not start accusing until we have the facts all laid out in front of us.Let us actually know who is to blame not just point the finger of suspicion and merely suspect.The Talking Horse - Lady Wonder You have probably all heard of \u201cFrancis\u201d the talking mule of film fame and no doubt a number of you have scen those talking animals shorts that are shown at the movies from time to time.We know how much can be done by trick photography, especially in the movie business, that we were not beguiled by the talking animals.Now, there comes to light a talking horse by the name of \u201cLady Wonder\u201d and to which an appeal was made to find a lost boy.In a similar case the horse is credited with having lead to the discovery of the body of another boy who was lost.This horse in question does not actually talk in words from the mouth, but it does cause words to be spelled out on a kind of a punch board which actually answers the questions of individuals.There are naturally many persons who are skeptical of the powers of this horse and as a consequence several people have made investigations to see what the horse can do and if there is any trickery.So far none have been able to discover trickery, but they have been amazed at what the horse could do in the way of answering their questions.One newspaper reporter fired 15 questions at the horse and obtained correct answers to nearly all of them.Professors have tried the horse with questions in connection with their professions and obtained the correct answers.The owner of the horse told the newspaper reporter that even before she called the horse when out in the pasture, the horse would come into the barn as though it knew her thoughts.It was this that first struck her that there was something different about the horse.Since the news of this horse first made the headlines, many pictures and stories have been published in various newspapers.The question is, can this horse really know what it is doing and does it really have the sense to actually know what it is doing and does it really have the sense to actually answer questions, We have often heard of horse sense and how a horse will usually find its way home in storms and so forth \u2014 but this has been credited to natural instinct.Random Glimpses of The Past Taken from | Gleaner Files 1904 January 23 On the 3rd of May at the Garrick Theatre, the Chicago College of Dental Surgery conferred the

gliesh\u2019s lot and the power house, about 7 acres to Thomas Chambers for $800.John Milton Is chiefly known as the poet who wrote Paradise Lost, the theme and language of which are so and literature that they have no interest for most people in this prosaic age.What now goes by the name of poetry in upper literary circles is the prosiest of prose and is far more remote from the life |and thought of the common people than the real poetry of Milton, | Wordsworth and Tennyson, who are dismissed by \u201cmodern\u201d poets as out-of-date and having no message for the \u201cNew World\u201d of today.But there is no new world today: it is the same old world, inhabited by ihe same kind of human beings with basically the same ideas and problems as those who lived here a hundred or two thousand years ago.Milton lived in a time of political and religious upheaval, and the took an active part in the public controversies of his day.He championed the cause of the revolutionists, and as an idealist he waxed eloquent at the prospect of an earthly paradise in England under the new Commonwealth.But he was not like our Communists, for he was profoundly religious and a vigorous champion of individual \u2018freedom.With the achievement of .power under Cromwell he found that the Puritans were more intolerant than the bishops whom he had previously attacked.He held a position as secretary in Cromwell's cabinet and he learned from experience that, to quote his own words, \u201cThe removal of an institution will not bring the millennium, or make us a happy people.Utopian polities, which never can be drawn into use, will not mend \u2018our condition.\u201d Milton was no cloistered or ivory- tower poet.like Shakespeare, he scanned the whole of life.He could \u201cHail divin est Melancholy,\u201d and \u201cwalk the studious cloister pale,\u201d but in turn he could enter into the \u201cjest and youthful jollity\u201d of Merry England, with its \u201cquips and cranks, and wanton wiles\u201d: \u201cLaughter holding both its sides.Come and trip it as we go On the light fantastic toe.\u201d He seemed to leave that all behind when he entered into the movement for the establishment of an earthly paradise under a \u201cgovernment of saints.\u201d He wrote Paradise Lost after the fall of that government, and although the poem has reference to the Garden of Eden, the poet was writing as a disillusioned Utopian.Present-day ministers of the Gospel who are \u201cweary in well doing\u201d and disappointed at the delay of the coming of the kingdom of heaven on this

Communism as a shortcut to the millennium, could learn something to their spiritual advantage from Milton's political experience.In his most famous pamphlet in defence of liberty, written during the Cromwellian regime, Milton stated his main beliefs as a Christian philosopher.Those beliefs have been summed-up in brief by Prof.E.M.W.Tillyard as fol- ows: \u201cMan is born with the seeds of good and evil in him; mere environment cannot determine his character: in the most favorable environment evil might come out.But man has power of choice, and knowing both good and evil it is possible for him to choose good.The present world may not ever be perfect, but it may be remote from modern life In his earlier poems, | Weekly Review Milton and Merry England By LEWIS MILLICAN very much better.It is reasonable to have high hopes; and it still seems likely that.in spite of setbacks, some great good is to happen to England in the immediate future.There is therefore every incentive for the noblest and most strenuous action.\u201d Unfortunately that \u201cmost strenuous action\u201d resulted in a more strenuous reaction in a period of \u2018moral laxity under the play-hoy \u2018King, Charles II.Merry England returned with a vengeance and went on a spree of liberty after a protracted spell of Puritan dictatorship, during which theatres were closed and even reading and writing came under strict censorship.Milton openly condemned this attempt to \u201csilence us from reading, except what they please,\u201d which he described as \u201cbut a second tyranny over learning.\u201d The Russian people may endure that kind of tyranny inedfinitely, but it could not be tolerated for long in Merry England with such forthright British freemen as John Miiton at large.Athelstan ATHELSTAN

sung by the Angels over the fields of Bethlehem gives us the true key-note for Christmas.It spoke to devout shepherds of the Glory of the Lord, and led them at once to proceed to the town and to worship the new-born Child lying in the manger.The angels\u2019 song and its message there dominated the whole scene, changing fear-strick- en men to be the bearers of Hope and Joy, so that, \u201cpeople who sat in darkness saw a great Light\".For, in the coming of the Christ- Child, God at last had visited His people.The words of the song are for us still the real cue to Christmas.Over all, and through all our celebrating must be heard the song of \u201cAngels from the realms of Glory\u201d.And so these words first of all should lift our hearts Godwards in worship.\u201cGlory to God in the Highest\u201d.How different it would be at Christmas If domestic joys should blend with, and find their climax in \u201cTidings of great joy to all people\u201d.How much more fitting if all our enthusiasm and generosity led us to think first of all of Him who alone i8 worthy of the tribute of happy hearts! What if Christmas giving brought home to us the One to whom we can make our highest gift,\u2014that of ourselves?For, as one Editor has put it, \u201cgradually the emphasis is shifting from the Advent to the Advertisement, from the Manger to the market.Wise men watch sales and not Stars\u201d.If the heavenly song does find its echo in our hearts, we surely will give Glory to God in the Highest.Lately we have seen a whole City moved by the excitement of Foot-ball.The pick of athletes was there; high purpose and the will to win; money in abundance and time without stint\u2014all were part of the show.Now sport has its rightful place, but it has usurped a place in our life to-day that is worthy of a better cause.And does not Idolatry itself spring from this complete dedication Lo ends that are lesser and lower than the highest?The Angels also sang of Peace and Good-will.But we more readily respond even to worship, as we look upon the Holy Child, than to a belief that He came to bring Peace and Goodwill among men, The world Is still filled with strife and War.No token tribute therefore, no formal assent to these Divine remedies for War and national hatred or racial discrimination will suffice.Did we not al one time believe the United Nations would make real the Peace we had hoped for?But to-day we nced something that shall make the will to Pesce cffective.And what jis that?It is Guod-will.It is the spirit of the Child, which comes into its own ab Christmas, and the spirit of Home and the Home-coming of all men everywhere whom the Father would welcome to His fellowship.For:\u2014 \u201cTo an open house in the evening Home shall men come, To an older place than Eden And a taller Lown than Rome.To the end of the way of the wandering Star, To the things that cannol be, and that are, To the place where God was homeless And all men are at home.\u201d REV.W.W.CONRAD.What Christmas Means Once again dur thoughts are turned to one of the most joyous seasons of the Christian Year, Christmas.It Is a Lime when people want to be happy, pleasant and kind.A spirit of cheerfulness pervades our homes, our institutions and all places where Christian people gather together.It is one Scason of the year when people realize that much good can be accomplished among mankind through an umselfish spirit.This spirit walks abroad at Christmas time.It opens our eyes to the wants of others and also our responsibility.It speaks of love, not hate: of peace, not war.It takes us to the manger in Bethlehem to behold the Christ Child who came into this world to make it a better place for all people.This is the side of Christmas which must always be kept in mind.This is what Christmas means.At a time when so much emphasis is laid upon the material side of life we\" are apt to lose sight of the fundamentals.This is particularly true of the Christmas season.There is 80 much to do, s0 much to see, that there is seldom time to consider Jesus, the reason for all our Christmas Activities and whose birthday we celebrate.Let us hear afresh the words of the shepherds who sald one to another, \u201cLet us now go even unto Bethlehem and see this thing which is come to pass.\u201d I wish one and all a Merry Christmas.Rev.W.8.Hatcher.Christmas Message .1952 In Matthew 2.1-2, we read There came wise men from the East to Jerusalem saying \u2018Where is He, that is born King of the Jews, for we have seen His star in the East and come to worship Him.These wise men, wise in more ways than and Diane of Aubrey were guests at the home of Mr.and Mrs.J.R.MacDonald and visited with their mother, Mrs.Dear on Sunday.Mrs.Mary Anderson and Ida accompanied her son Charles and Frederic to Cornwall on Saturday.\u2018They visited at the home of Mr, Thomas Cralg and daughter, Mrs.Messages From Local Clergy one, had travelled from afar and it took considerable time to travel even a few miles in that day.They were men who took note of the stars in their courses, of which there were many and yet there was one star singled out above all otbers, this one was His star.Said they \u2014 We have seen His star.That is significant.We today need to lift our eyes from the far too many common things about us and moreso at this time of the year and look into God's firmament and see His star which is Christ the Lord whose birthday we shall soon celebrate.Arriving at Jerusalem they made this enquiry.Where is He?Perhaps it was all very strange to them that so few knew about Chiret's birth and yet so near to Him, but they found Him.This is a good question for our modern world, Where is He?As we look into our world not so much of attractions but distractions things, things, things, everywhere, until we are weary and tired out before the great day arrives, we ask what is all this confusion about, what has it all to do with real meaning of Christmas, and where is Christ in the midst of it all.Is it any wonder that one man prayed \u2018Lord forgive us our Christmasses.\u2019 Where is he today of whom the multitude of heavenly hast praised God at His birth and of whom the wise men travelled from afar to worship Him and offer Him their gifts, and the shepherds wondered at all the things which they had seen and glorified God.No doubt we are looking for Him in many and strange ways, where surely He cannot be found.But He ix still among us.If we would but understand Him aright, He is found in every human heart.for whom Christ was born, Hvad and died.Be assured He is not found in all the din and noise and confusion of our modern Christmas preparation.He is not in all the tinsel and bright lights, or in the Santa Claus parade which is only a means of trade advertising.He is not found in the glass drunk in shame in the name of the Holy Child Jesus.He is not found in any one of these.He Is found where there is human need and sorrow and suffering.Where people are glving of themselves to relieve the distress of their fellow-man.He Is found where people are trying to cheer the lonely and sad hearts, in people who are kind, sympathetic and serving others in any way in the Master's name.In all these places Christ is found.In spite of all the things that distract, us at this busy season jf we will but, open our eyes and eager- Iv and sincerely searely for the Christ we will find Him for He 1s not far from each one

and Receiving of gifts, Children have learned to expect them, and their elders also are glad of the opportunity to make gifts to one another in token of loving friendship.It is the universal custom and a blessing goes with it.Receiving 18 a blessed experience and we are told on the highest authority that it is more blessed to give than to receive.Indeed, this custom is of the very essence of Christmas Day, for on that day of the Christian year we celebrate the greatest of all gifts and glorify the greatest of all giv- | ers.God, the Eternal Father, gave His only-begotten Son to us for our eternal salvation.It is the Birth of Jesus in Bethlehem of Judea that we are called on to celebrate on Christmas Day; and it is the atmosphere of that first day of His earthly life that is the very breath of our Christian life today.It is well for us to keep this in mind, and to regard the Day and the Season as Holiness unto the Lord.But even in Christian communities the Holy Day and Season have come to be regarded as only an- nther holiday time, and are too generally marked hy rioting and drunkenness on the part of many who know better but do not act according to their knowledge.And in recent years Big Business has invaded this sacred preserve and seized the opportunity to make this period the biggest week of their business year.They have seized the harmless myth of Childhood, Banta Ven «to live Claus, and exploited the children to increase their business profits.They have helped to replace the Best Friend of little children with this other Benefactor that is only a myth and a delusion.One of the most startling of the parabolic sayings of Jesus to the disciples was concerning the folly of casting pearls before swine, Pearls however valuable in the market are of no value to swine \u2014 they will trample them in the mire of thelr sty in thelr eagerness to get to the swill in their feeding trough.A Pearl of great price is offered to the children of men, one that will make them rich in the sight of God \u2014 it is the opportunity to become His children and heirs of His Kingdom.But 50 many prefer carnal delights and turn deaf ears to His appeal.Christmas affords a special opportunity to impress on young minds the love of God In Christ and His desire for their love and obedient life.It 1s the sacred duty of parents and teachers to make the children understand the sacred meaning of the Season and its call on them to accept the precious gift He offers, and to give Him in return the love of their hearts and the devotion of their lives.It Is good to know that the Church at large has been aroused, and is asking today the vital question, \u201cHow can we bring back Christ to Christmas?\u2019 This is the call to Parents and teachers \u2014to all, indeed, who love the Lord and who welcome the opportunity to help In this great cam- palgn for the saving of our children for Christ and His Church.J.B.MACLEAN.Gladness, Peace, Worship Christmas should be a time of Gladness for it marks the birth of a King whose Kingdom is one of Righteousness and Joy.As one New Testament writer puts IL, \u201cThe life was manifest, and we have seen it, and bear

Home and Family as well as of the Church.Tt speaks of fullness of life.But let nothing be Indulged which mars the body, pollutes the mind, or degrades the soul.Let our Joy be not artificial, Induced

Industrial Organizations (CCL~CIO), Premier Duplessis said a health insurance program for Quebec would result in a group of unambitious mass-produced physi- clans.\u2019 The memorandum, besides asking for a health insurance program, asked that Quebec's margarine ban be lifted and higher old age pensions be given.The premier reiterated his government\u2019s view that the ban on pro- duotion of margarine and its sale must stick.The memorandum asked that old age pensions without a means test be given to men aged 65 and women aged 60.The pensions, should be raised from $40.to $60.monthly the memorandum said.Mr.Duplessis said it was not \u201cjust\u201d to force a 65-year-old man to retire, but there could be improvement in the pensions plan if there was a re-distribution of taxation powers.The Legislative Assembly also passed a government bill to extend Provincial rent controls until May 1, 1954.The vote called by Premier Duplessis, was 78-0.Speaking at the close of a long debate on the rentals bill, Mr.Dup- lessis lashed out at landlords who take means to evict large families or who intimidate married couples into not having children.To be valid, under Quebec Civil Code, a contract must have \u201ca moral purpose.\u201d Restraining the size of a family was immoral.\u201cAny landlords who place such odious conditions on the leasing of a dwelling are immoral and do not deserve to be called Canadians,\u201d he said.The Liberal opposition charged administration of controls was inefficient and affected by political considerations.Provincial rent controls were imposed

RENNIE DEBRA PAGET A Merry Christmas FROM THE MANAGER AND STAFF OF DENIS THEATRE Arouses Great A moving picture and subsequent discussion on the Graham Plow, the most revolutionary agricultural tillage implement for a great many years, created much interest among a grogp of about 150 Howick farmers, on Monday evening, December 8.The event- was arranged largely through the efforts of Robert E.Ness and Oakley MacRae, of Howick, who were very impressed with a Graham Plow demonstration at the Royal Winter Fair at Toronto, and who arranged to have Mr.L.Lemaitre, of St.Hilaire (the Quebec agent) come to this ditsrict and present the film.The affair was organized on very short notice, and the good attendence in the school lunch room, where the showing was held, attested to the wide interest this new implement has aroused.The film opened with a brief outline of the basic principle of this machine, which can better be described as a big chisel, than a true plow in the usual sense.The idea of the implement, somewhat similar to a heavy grubber, is to break up the soil and subsoil to a considerable depth without mixing them to any great extent, and leaving most of the trash on the surface of the ground.In this way.the soil is opened down to a maximum of about 22 inches to permit excess water to seep into the ground, rather than run off, and the trash is left on top to help prevent wind and water erosion, which are such great problems in some areas of this continent.The construstion of the machine is very simple, consisting principally of a heavy frame of steel beams, on which are mounted curved, pointed teeth twenty-two inches long, and one foot apart.The number of teeth varies from 45, in the largest type, made for use in Western areas, to 5, in the smallest, which can be handled by most small tractors.The frame is carried on two rubber-tired wheels, and in operation, the machine is trailed behind a tractor, with the teeth adjusted (through adjusting levers) to whatever depth it is desired to penetrate.The shape of the teeth draws them into the ground, and their action is largely to shatter and open the soil.The larger sizes, twenty to forty-five feet seem to be built generally for use with crawler tractors, as considerable power would be required to hawl them.The smaller sizes can apparently be handled by the average size of rubber-tired tractors.such as are in common use around here.The film showed many views of the various sizes at work in various types of soil and under all conditions (stubble, sod, summer- fallow, etc.) After the film, Mr.Lemaitre opened a discussion, and it was then that those present were able to get answers for the many questions they had.Almost all had heard of the Graham Plow before this, and all were very interested in details.Mr.Lemaitre had on hand one of the teeth with which the machine is equipped.One could not help but be impressed with its\u2019 strength.It was obviously almost unbreakable, and fitted with à spring-release.as each tooth is individually, it would certainly stand up to great abuse from stones, etc.M.Lemaitre stressed the point that plowing with this implement was simpler than with a customary plow, but not much quicker.This is because a field must be covered at least three times with a Graham Plow before the operation is completed.That is, travelling in one direction first with the teeth lowered only 6-8 inches, then travel ling across the first with the teeth somewhat lower, then a third round travelling in a different direction again, with the teeth down to 14 inches or so.Therefore, the depth is achieved gradually, and the implement can be handled by average tractors, and by making three trips, much more shattering of lumps Light the Way

is said to be sufficient before seeding, and the usual dise- ing and grubbing is eliminated altogether.For some crops, and under some conditions, harrowing with chain or spike tooth harraw is advocated, but not always.The whole idea of the Graham system appears to be to open the soil to a considerable depth, and not to pulverize the soil too fine, but to leave it crumbly.Mr.Bert Rankin of Huntingdon, was present, and much to the surprise of Mr.Lamaitre, announced that he had used this machine this Fall, and was thus far very well satisfied with the results, which appeared to be quite as had been guaranteed.He mentioned that a ten-acre field plowed wtih this plow was in a much drier condition than an adjoining ten acres plowed with a conventional plow, even after all the heavy rain recently fallen in this district.The group as a whole seemed very impressed with the possibilities this machine offered in getting better crops from the heavy, and somewhat poorly drained soils of this area.It was felt that possibly the use of this plow could improve the MARVIN A.Electrical and PHONE 2222 chances of a successful stand clover or alfalfa, and help greatly in grain and com crops as well during wet seasons.It is safe 0 say that at least a few of iy implements will be in use this coming summer and fall in this distric: Already several are being tried ou: throughout the Province, and no doubt if they justify the claims made for them, we will see à great many in future years.Like all new machines, they must be tried under our particular conditions before by.ing accepted completely, but i really does seem that here is a truly new idea, and one which has paid off outstandingly in the mid-west.ern US, and could be a hoon here.The use of the school lunch room for this meeting was much appreciated and it is hoped that n the future it can be used more frequently for events of genera; interest.CRAWFORD Refrigeration HUNTINGDON Phone 2919 May your Yuletide

Take these,\u201d he shrieked, jumping up and down excitedly.Suddenly, there was such a shower of cones that the poor woman was frightened.She tried to run away, but could not move until the little imp had filled her basket.And, having started home, the basket grew heavier and heavier-\u2014she wished the elf hadn't disappeared, he might have helped her.When she finally reached her hut, she called the children to help carry the basket inside.Emptying the basket, they found that every cone was made of solid silver.Commemorating these legendary silver cones, gikled pine cones are sold In modern stores, to decorate our homes\u2014to burn and crackle gaily in our Christmas fires.æ Phone 418 75.R.\u201d: ; Ue send these sincere greetings with a wish that your Holiday Joys go far beyond your .fondest dreams.S.J.CURRIE \u201cEVERYTHING ELECTRIC\u201d Huntingdon, Que.May all the joys of the Holiday be heaped on you and those you love.A Merry Christmas and a Phone 314 Huntingdon, Que.Phone 2980 Christmas Greetings May Santa\u2019s reindeer prance down your chimney, bringing bundles of joy to all your family!

and they constitute fire hazards on back porches and in basement area- ways, So, Waukegan held its first annual Twelfth Night observances committing the trees to a community bonfire amid the chorusing of carols.- And the custom has waxed.Residents of several communities, choruses, soloists, etc., participating as the spirits of the Christmas trees are dispatched to some fir valhalla to return to bless a future Yuletide Legends Link Mule Gentle Camel of Jesus With Gift-Giving Way Syrian legends have associated the Magic Mule and the Gentle Camel of Jesus with gift-giving, for reasons that are at once different, and yet similar in thelr association with the Christ Child.It seems a oertain traveler tied his mule to a tree when he went into an inn for refreshment on Epiphany Eve.Just at midnight, when the boughs of the tree bowed down in homage to the Holy Infant, the mule was caught up on the rebound and found cradled high up in the branches by its returning master.The youngest camel of the three ridden by the Wise Men was exhausted by the pressing ing near the Nativity scene.Phone 2225 J.A.C.QUESNEL GENERAL MERCHANT Cazaville, Que.GENERAL MERCHANT Phone 809 To all our friends we wish good cheer, not only for =~.Christmas, but for all of Cazaville, Que.A = X A SA To all our friends and patrons, we extend our warmest greetings for a joyous Holiday Season.À ST.AGNES HOTEL HUBERT LEBLANC Phone 705 © St.Agnes de Dundee Orchestra Every Saturday Night journey and was blessed with immortality by the baby Jesus as it lay moan- REETINGS OF THE wr SEASON > Eu 47 i i à ne : essai ;

for cowboy serenaders, riding from ranch to ranch.\u201cLike cadenced meles, which put an everlasting spell upon you, memories of Christmases the sixty-thousand-acre cattle ranch my father managed on the slopes of Haleakala, the extinct volcano on the island of Maui, persist with undying vividness.A fair number of persons, representing different races making up the sum total of humanity, participated in them.Americans, Hawalians, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese and their crossings assembled under our roof Christmas Eve.Each group brought a flavor peculiarly its own to add to the spent on iBirthday of all birthdays.and the doors not locked, homes |.Quart 10 \"ings May we extend to you our very best wishes for a Holiday Season rich in happiness and joy.D.S.McColm GENERAL MERCHANT Phone 840 AAAANRAN Dewittville mam For your friendship and good will we extend a hearty \u201cThank You.\u201d May you have a delightful Christmas and a successful New Year.J.E.QUENNEVILLE GENERAL MERCHANT Phone 801 © St.Anicet, Que.emma "]
