when food bank operators stress that only by working with people in trouble can we get a handle on how much distress actually exists in this area, it doesn\u2019t carry a very Christmassy tone.But it\u2019s real, and we can make a dent in some of the unhappiness with minimal affort.This is one kind of Christmas gift-giving where brand names, model numbers, and keeping up with the Joneses is absolutely irrelevant.The food items, the extra toys, the good used clothing, the two minutes of cheque-writing: so simple, so productive of real benefit.It is important to remember that to have one kind of Christmas spirit, we don\u2019t have to give up the other.Like everything else in life, opposites intertwine to yield an © &ver-shifting \u2018balance.The vulnerability needed to admit the realit \u201cof the sad things, and to do something about them, can only heighten the joy of creating our own fantasy holiday on the home front.(J.T) GLEANER ARCHIVES.125 years ago : \u2026 December 17, 1869 .The Secretary of L.O.L.No.69 has been too long in sending us the report - of the meeting on the 5th November.We .cannot fill our columns with accounts .of local meetings six weeks old.THE NEW AGRICULTURAL REGULATIONS +.The intention is, that our County ;

Lalonde forwarded to Huntingdon mayor Gerald Brisebois, and which was read at the council meeting.\u201cWe\u2019rereally not sure what Mme.Lalonde is referring to \u2014 all I can think of is that she is upset about the opening of Baird Blvd.to through traffic, something which she promised residents would not happen,\u201d said the mayor on Monday.Contacted by phone on Monday, Francine Lalonde refused to from page 1 divulge the contents of the appendices, although she said, \u201cThey are all matters which can be found in the official Town records\u201d.\u201cThere are examples of some of the irregularities 1 have noticed ever since I was elected to council over the last couple of years,\u201d she said.\u201cI have received an acknowledgement of my letter from the Ministry, but no answer as yet.I was elected to represent the people and I find things are not being run democratically.I want the Ministry to look into things and tell me what is right and what is wrong,\u201d Lalonde said.\u201cWhenl getany news back, then I will discuss the matter further,\u201d she said.The December 5 council resolution to retain lawyer Luc Drouin \u201cto represent the Town .and to act as intermediary with provincial authorities\u201d passed by a four-to-two majority vote, with councillors Lalonde and Marielle Duheme opposed.This is the latest development in an ongoing split on the
