Advanced To Stage Where It Could Be Used Soon - Funds Are Needed The past few days have seen work proceed at the Huntingdon County War Memorial arena to the point that the roof has been closed in and some ice made.At the last meeting of the directorate it was decided that for this winter skating be provided, but it will not be possible to have sufficient lighting in stalled for the playing of hockey, unless a substantial amount of money ls procured to pay for the electrical installation.The $40,000 that was in the treasury when work was started has been spent, plus about another $11,- 000.Everything has been paid for to date including the roofing material, and to pay for the labor that will be required for December work.Something like an additional $20,000 to $25,000 will be needed to pay for the electrical installation, furnace and finishing work, which would be done in the spring.Should donations come in at once work would continue, and the electrical work done without delay so that the Huntingdon County War Memorial arena could be used during the winter months for hockey as well as skating, A drive for funds will be made in the spring of 1958, as it was generally felt this is not a good time of year to conduct a general canvass for funds.Should a sufficient number of people make donations, or agree to sign personal notes in favour of the Huntingdon County War Memorial Limited, funds could be obtained from a bank to continue with the work without deferment.Mr.Leo Cappiello, Sec- retary-Treasurer of the Hunting- idon County War Memorial Limited, will be pleased to receive donations, or signed notes, upon which money can be borrowed.If a sufficient number of signed notes are received the money would be borrowed; the Hun- tingdon County War Memorial Limited paying the bank interest, and when funds are received from the spring canvass or otherwise raised, effort is presently being made to get about forty or fifty people to sign notes, or contribute gen- ercus donations, thereby raising the necessary funds now, so that the Huntingdon County War Memorial arena can be completed without interruption.Should che funds be realized through notes being accorded, the Hun- tingdon County War Memorial Limited would give as security, a mortgage, with no interest charges, in their favour as their interests may appear on the Huntingdon County War Memorial Building.It is to be hoped several substantial donations will immediately be forthcoming so that it will not be necessary to obtain 30 great a number of signed notes in order to finance the balance of work to be done.Mrs.Eric Rottensten Injured In Accident Near À serious car accident occurred on the Boydsettlement Road at about 10 a.m.on Fîiday, December 13th, which resulted in Mrs.Eric Rottensten being badly injured.Mrs.Rottensten was driving the family car and was coming out of the driveway of her home onto the road and was just getting straightened out to drive along the road, when a truck came over the hill nearby.The truck belonged to Loiselle & Le- gault and is a fuel oil tanker and was fully loaded.Samuel Legault was driving the truck and was proceeding east on the Boydsettlement Road.When he came to the hill near the Rot- tensten farm, he noticed the car coming out of the drive way onto the road.The roads were quite slippery at the time and although the truck driver did his best to stop, he was unable to do so.The truck hit the car head on and turned it around on the road, sending the car into the ditch and through a fence on the right hand side of the road.The Legault truck took the ditch on the left hand side and passed over a number of large stones, doing much damage to the underside.The Rottensten car was damaged beyond repair and Mrs.Rottensten suffered a compound fracture of the left thigh and knee, bruises and concussion.She was taken immediately to the Huntingdon County Hospital, where she is now under the care of Dr.F.G.McCrimmon.At this time she is doing as well as can be expected.The accident is unfortunate in many ways, the Rottenstens have a family of girls and a small baby.Neighbours in the vicinity have kindly taken the children 25 YEARS OF ACTIVE SERVICE while the mother is in hospital, as the father is employed at other work during the daytime.Another neighbour has kindly loaned Mr.Rottensten a car to go back and forth to his work.The expense of the accident will no doubt be quite costly.Coming at this season of the year\u2014 Christmas, will hardly spell joy for the little family which will be minus the mother, when a mother means so much.Annual Meeting Huntingdon Red Cross The annual meeting of the Huntingdon Branch of the Red Cross was held at the County Building, on Monday evening, December 16th, with a small attendance.The usual business was covered and report given.The district was fortunate in not having any disastrous fires, or other disaster during the reported period of 1957.The Work Committee reported 437 pieces of sewing and knitting had been done.The Blood Donor Clinic in March had 268 donors.The home nursing class had 23 persons take the course, also 15 persons

wires to become very hot and burn off the insulation.No one should insert higher type fuses for burned out ones, nor place any metallic object behind the burned out fuse.The fuses are there for protection and changing them in this way takes away the protection.If fuses are blowing out steadily, you may be sure the circuit is overloaded and you should have it checked without delay.Mr.Amyott explained that he had dwelt on these (many things in order to give the firemen information and guidance on what may be expected of them as firemen.Volunteer firemen are different to those paid full time for the work, but just the same firemen are expected to know their job and to make studies of the codes, etc to do with fires and fire fighting.He congratulated the firemen and mentioned that they had some of the very best equipment for use.Alderman Fournier thanked the speaker and also presented him with a little gift in appreclaion of his coming to Huntingdon for the \u2018banquet.|\" The chairman then called upon Mr.Somerville, whom he said had an Important announcement a very efficient volunteer fire brigade and it was rated as the best in the Province of Quebec in the volunteer fleld.He congratulated the firemen and he congratulated the people of Huntingdon that they had such splendid equipment.It has been the desire of the firemen to add an auxiliary piece of equipment to their fire fighting machinery and il was with pleasure that he had received a letter dated November.20th, that a grant of half the cost would be forthcoming.The cost of the equipment required was given iat $592256 and the amount of the grant would be $2961.28 to be paid in two yearly instalments, the first! 110 be in the present fiscal year.The grant must be accepted within three months.Mr.Somerville said he had :advised the Mayor to acknowledge acceptance without delay.| Mr.Irvin McWhinnie, as an of- (ficial of the Fire Brigade, thanked \u2018Mr.Somerville and everyone who {made the evening possible, on be- {half of all the firemen and their Iwives.; Mayor Cappiello before closing should be familiar with all this in- 581d that he hoped this might turn out to be the first of a serles of annual banquets in honor of the Volunteer Firemen and that it would serve to encourage everyone to ap- 'preciate the Huntingdon Volunteer \u2018Fire Brigade.! Following the banquet the gathering adjourned to the Gai Lounge where dancing was enjoyed for the \u2018remainder of the evening.Hospital rallied to the call and although the weather was decidedly eld many turned out on Friday, December 13th, and brought delicious food to be sold and to grace the very pretty tea tables, Miss.Norma Lunan with her artistic helpers gave the hall a delightful Christmasy air.Mrs.K.R.Willis was convenor of the food sale and Mrs.R.W.Rowat convened the Tea.The executive wishes to thank all members and their friends for their generous assistance of money, food and time which has given the Treasury a $250.00 boost.| United Church Christmas Activities The Teen Age Group of Hun- tingdon United Church held their Christmas meeting in the Church Hall last Monday evening, with forty members in attendance.The evening's program included recreation, a study period and concluded with refreshments.The group will hold a skating party following the Christmas vacation.The Explorer Group of Hun- tingdon United Church went Christmas Caroling last Friday President, Mrs.E.M, Wood; 1st + Huntingdon Locals + ducted their annual Christmas Vesper Service at the evening hour of worship on Sunday.The service of worship was conducted by Ann Tannahlll, Mildred Caldwell, Susan Ferns, Geraldine Rhodes, Anna Stark and Alice Hamilton and all of the girls took part in the Pageant of the Candles.The girls are grateful to Mr.E.A.Yates and the members of the choir who assisted them in the service and whose special Christmas music added so much to the service.-0- Vice-President, Mr.Roland E- mond; 2nd Vice-President, Mr.Adrien O'Reilly; Sec.-Treas., Mrs.L.Roy.Work Committee: Mrs.Roy and Mrs.Munro.Veterans\u2019 afternoon and visited over thir- ty-five sick and shut-in folk.This is the fourth year that the girls have undertaken this spec- | ming and Water Safety: Mr.Leo ial Christmas project.The group are most grateful to Miss Norma Lunan, Mrs.S.Currle, Mrs.L.Sherry, Mrs.P.Hamilton, Mr.R.Watson and Mr.A, Fawcett who so Kindly provided their transportation.The Junior Boy's Club of Hun- tingdon United Church held thelr annual Christmas Party at the Parsonage on Friday evening.The singing of Christmas carols, playing games and the Welfare: Rev.W.S.Hatcher and Disaster, Cleyn and Mr.A, L.Sellar.Home Blood Swim- \u2018Cappiello and Mr.Hector Provost.Campaign Manager: Mr.Roland \u2018Emond.refreshments were served, made for a happy and enjoyable evening.fellowship around the tables, as Mrs.Charles Pace suffered an unfortunate accident on Sunday morning when about to leave her home for church.She was coming down the steps onto the sidewalk at the door, when she slipped and fell.She managed to get up, but her leg began to swell so fast, she realized that something serious had happened.Upon examination it was found her ankle was broken and it was put into a temporary cast.Mrs.Pace is presently in a wheel chair and carrying on business as usual from this point in her store on Chateauguay Street.-0- St.Andrew's Christmas Party The Annual Christmas Party The Huntingdon Branch of the Cenadian Legion entertained about one hundred children of members and other veterans, at a Christmas Party on Saturday afternoon, at the Legion Hall.This is an annual get-together for tables for four set up in the club.the children and they were enter- Mrs.G.MacPherson was Soclal tained first by being shown movies.Convenor for the evening and much While waiting for Santa to arrive chedit is due her for the delightful they all joined in a sing-song of fepast.Mrs.H.Dando, Rink Con- Christmas treats, the adults were | venor.was in charge of all games thoroughly enjoyed.When the jolly IN the bonsplel.The elected Com- old fellow Santa, arrived, he pre- |mittee In charge of the 26th An- sented each child with Christinas (niversary celebrations were this treats and a gift.year's executive.While the young fry enjoyed their After the dinner, Mrs.C.8, Jones, Christmas teats, the adults were President, welcomed everyone and served tea sandwiches, etc.called upon Mrs.O.E.Caza to give It was & most successful Christmas !a resume of the history of the Club.Special sterling silver Anniversary pins were then presented by the President to Mrs.J.Cluff and Mrs.J.Buttress in commeration of their being charter members with 25 years of continuous membership.The 25th Legion Holds | The Valleyfield Ladies Curling Olub celebrated their 25th Anniversary with a week's bonspiel terminated with a dinner held at the Moco Club on Dec.13, 1957.The | Notes From The Police Blotter thefts Traced A rash ot thefts has been cleaned up by Provincial police uflicers in this area.\u2018I'he rob- veries date back more than a month \u2014 on November 1st, the Anniversary trophy, Leduc, of Molsons Brewery, was presented to the winning team by Mrs.G.MacPherson, in the absence to make.Mr.Somerville thereupon told.the gathering that Huntingdon had!

9 it costs $276 per child per annum to provide schooling.It would cost even more than this for Grades 10 and 11, owing to the small numbers, of children attending these grades, the cost of specialist teachers and lab.facilities.It looks as if it is a smart move on the part of cur School Board to obtain this schooling for $150.per child per annum.Mr.Atkinson states that \u201cmany parents will be receiving $150.per school year in return, which is more than they pay in local taxes\u201d.Has it ever occurred to him that there are parents with three children at the Julius Richardson School, who are therefore reeciving $728.worth of education per annum.I hope that he is not suggesting there is anything wrong in this.1 cannot think that anyone in their right senses believes that a person is only entitled to the same value in education as the amount of his taxes.Finally, it appears to me that for too long has the Chateauguay Schoo! Board run the educa- benefit of the tax-payers, and it is about time some consideration was given to the future of our children.Yours truly, F.A.Low.The Gore Sunday guests of Mr.and Mrs.W.J.Graham were Mr.and Mrs.Mike Andrews and Debbie of Montreal, Que.Chateauguay (Continued from page 7) the business meeting, films were shown \u2014 \u201cDestination UK.\u201d, and \u201cBermuda Bound\u201d.Mrs.Jim Johnson acted as hostess.The next meeting will be held on January 8th, 1958.Kindergarten news A group of interested mothers, brothers and sisters attended an Open Session of the Kindergarten conducted by Mrs.R.G.Mosher and Mrs.J.Ingram on Friday, December 13th.The children went through their usual morning routine, with the added fillip of knowing that proud mothers and envious brothers and sisters were watching with the greatest interest.in keeping order and sustaining interest among their children, it was a revelation to watch how smoothly and easily these children work under their teachers\u2019 supervision, and how co-opera- tive and helpful they can be.After such an encouraging and interesting morning, It was somewhat of an anti-climax to be told the next day that one of the children present had \u201cbroken-out' with chicken-pox!

Frost, etc.| i8 generally accepted that Santa Claus derives from St, Nicholas, Bishop of Myra in Lycla in the 3rd century, who became patron saint of Russia and of merchants, clerks and children.Few are aware that as a legendary figure Santa also had other antecedents.His physical figure, as generally recognized today, derives in large part from Jan Duy.ckinck, a New Yorker of Netherlands ancestry, Duyckinck was a neighbor and frequent visitor in the 1820's to the home of Clement Clarke Moore.Moore was a professor in General Theological Seminary who gave scholarly attention to folklore.Through Duyckinck he improved his acquaintanceship with the usages of the old Dutch families of New York, the descendants of the original settlers of the Hudson Valley.© Moore was naturally interested particularly in the Dutch customs surrounding St.Nicholas\u2019 Day, Dec.6, and the manner in which they melded with old English Christmas traditions after the British took possession of New Netherland.An explanatory digression is in order at this point.The concept of a special guardian or watchman over children, who bestowed rewards or punishments on the \u201cgood\u201d or the \u201cbad\u201d ones, on some seasonal or annual occasion, is a very old one, Parallels existed in all early civilt- zations, During the Roman Saturnalia, which was observed next to the last week of December, schools had holidays, trees were decorated, gifts were bestowed, and there was general merriment, These observances went to France and Britain with the Roman conquerors.They probably had become a part of the customs of those regions when the conversions of the West to Christianity began, Missionaries under whom the kingdoms of Clovis and Ethelbert, in France and England, became Christian were under in- Structions to adopt popular regional customs to Chrivsian usages.When the Pilgrims and Puritans from England settled in America, the festive observance of Christmas was forbidden because it was still deemed pagan.But when New Netherland was turned into New \u2018York, there were English families less strict in their adherence to orthodox canon.Among these, Father Christmas was An annual visitor to children, on Christmas or New Year's Eve.For a long time thereafter, in New York and surrounding colonies, in consequence of the melding of the two customs, children awaited with mingled dread and delightful expectancy two different visitors during the Christmas sea- san: St.Nicholas and Father Christmas, for whom there were various names.St.Nicholas\u2014whose name was contracted to Sinterklaas by the Dutch, Peltznicke! or Bels- Nicholas, who on the eve of his feast day (Dec.8) visited homes with gifts for \u201cgood children\" and left switches for bad ones.Father Christmas, Pere Noel (among the French) or Kriss Kringle, was the jolly good fellow in red robe who later brought joy for all.Prof.Moore is credited with effecting the amalgamation of the two characters through the popular chord he struck with the rousing verses, A Visit from St.Nicholas.The poem's description of Santa Claus (see the quotation in the box at right) became the one
