22, 1944 SIXTH WARTIME CHRISTMAS MONDAY, next, we observe our sixth wartime Christmas.It is sad to contemplate the condition of the world as we celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace, but we can find strength for the great task ahead and consolation in the fact that we are fighting for the principles Ie preached.Qur enemies in this war hold beliefs that are the very negation of the teachings of Christianity.and, if they prevailed.would plunge the world into a lo1g night of tryanny and hopelessness the like of which the world has never witnessed.The sacrifices we are called upon to make to vanquish these enemies of evervthing we cherish are as nothing compared to what we should have to endure were we to lose this war.This is a good time, therefore, to resolve to do more in the coming year to make sure victory will be ours and the principles of moderation, toleration, freedom, and justice kept alive in the world.THE FACT OF CHRISTMAS DURING the depth of the first World War when suffering and gloom had brought the world to the verge of despair, some great Frenchman encouraged his fellow countrymen by reminding them that the tragedy - of the world would not prevent the coming of the spring.It is in some such spirit that one contemplates the return of Christmas in a world where strife seems everywhere present and good will as an effective inter-racial inter- - sectional, -and international force seems at the \u2018for building the world on cleaner and better foundations.There is hope in-the realization.\u2018 that Nature and God do not fail, though man \u201c manages to plunge himself, his affairs, and.seemingly his destinies, beneath the waves : - Jowest ebb that it has been ever since the signing of the Armistice brought to the world a new hope of peace and a new opportunity of great and selfishness, and distrust and of greed and selfishness, of distrust and sus- THE EXAMINER, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1944 picion, and the lust for privilege and power.The return of Christmas is the persistent reminder that no matter how far the world goes astray there has been in the world a revelation of good will, a manifestation of the possibilities of the divine in human life, and a revelation of the grace that might transform and uplift a humanity responsive to its redeeming power.Christmas emphasizes the story of birth and beginning.It is the span of a brief life until the cross marks the divine tragedy in the presence of human sin and desolation.But the cradle and the cross alike belong to the Christ, and Christmas has become the symbol not only of the infant Jesus, but of the whole life of a suffering and redeeming Saviour.\u2014The Advance, Boston.AFTER-THE-WAR BUSINESS TIP WE have often wondered what the Spanish, French and Italian that appears in the catalogues and booklets of our exporters reads like to natives of foreign countries.According to the Produce News, the following piece of information once appeared on the wrapper of a grapefruit grown in Japan and shipper to Canada: \u201cTt is well known how to cook oranges, cut them in two, off the seeds.then serve with sugar like grapefruits making.Morever.it is the most effective for stomach ache if provide them suitable.also to prevent from cold.You are always free from cold if vou have a half of it every morning, cooking them like grapefruits making.\u201d It seems to us that it might be well for our exporters to have the copy of their foreign advertising read by a native of the country where it will be circulated before it is printed.À lot of translators claim to be more efficient than they are.Baltimore Sun: It would be absurd to project the events of the coming months in accordance with the timetable of 1918.Yet, if the element of time is left out, the sequence is worth keeping in mind: (1) the shaken confidence of the mniilitary command; (2) the shaken confidence on the home front: (3) the replacement of a \u201cbad\u201d Government by a \u201cgood\u201d German Government; (4) the decision of the military command (Ludendorff) to give it up as a bad job; (5) domestic chaos; (6) the Armistice.One is justified in assuming that the first step in that sequence has taken place again.Beyond that, no assumptions are yet warranted.*\"Westmount's Home Newspaper?w wv THE FORUM Conducted by HOWARD S, ROSS, K.C.,, D.C.L.In Which Subjects of

power lines, and the rest operate their own individual plants.* * # Benjamin Franklin, one of the really great men of the world noticed nearly 200 years ago that no matter how thirsty he might be, he

we long for and pray for, but refuse to go about getting them in the right way.These things, so much to be desired, only come when we are willing to go about the business of the world in God's way and not our own.To you, and your dear ones (especially those on active service) may Christmas joy abound.Yours faithfully, Gilbert Oliver Rev.1.W.Jones Do you recall the scene in \u201cThe Christmas Carol\u2019 by Dickens, when the nephew called on Old Scrooge in his offices.It is, you remember, Christmas Eve, and the nephew greeted his Uncle by wishing him \u2018A Merry Christmas\u201d, Scrooge retorts that such a thing is nothing but humbug.The nephew replies with good humour and endeavours to persuade Scrooge to think of Christmas in a brighter, kindlier way.To this Scrooge replies, \u2018Nephew, keep Christmas in your own way and let me keep it in mine\u201d.\u2018Keep it!\u201d repeated Scrooge's nephew, \u201cBut you don\u2019t keep it\u201d.The story that follows the dialogue between these two is simply a tale of how Scrooge came to really keep Christmas \u2014 by wholeheartedly sharing it with others and that is the only way that any persoL ever can truly \u201ckeep\u201d Christmas.From this point of view what a good year this is for Keeping Christmas.Let us keep its good cheer; by radiating brightness wherever we go.There are many sad hearts and shadowed lives.Shall we not scatter the Christmas sunshine of good cheer everywhere this year.Let us keep its faith, its precious hope, of peace and love in the hearts of men.Surely this year, with so many of our loved

When he was two, in London, there had been a sleet storm, but he had forgotten all about it.So when Michael saw the white streets, he concluded a kind of sand had fallen and coaxed to be allowed out to play in it.But when the snow stuck on his clothes he was dismayed.His beautifiil blue eyes regarded the persistently falling fiakes with amazement.\u201cI'm all dirty!\u201d he cried distractedly as he tried to beat off our best quality, highly publicized, prime Canadian snow! Giving that up as a bad job, he turned to studying the phenomenon and was simply awe-struck at the whole thing and at being ai- lowed to roll in it as much as he liked.Never in his life had he had so much stuff to shovel around.He gloried in it till his mitts got wet, then he said plaintively \u201cThis sand is very cold.\u201d Then he kept getting wrong way to the wind with the result that every spadeful was blown back in his own rosy face, upon which he turned to his completely bi-lingual Aunt Adrienne and shouted \u2018This sand is blowing in my face! Make it stop blowing!\u201d (Don\u2019t we wish we could!) ¥» ¥* * Another Christmas surprise for Michael was Santa Claus.He had never seen the red-coated bewhiskered gentleman in London.Curiously enough, though his upbringing in bomb-torn England had made him used to meeting strangers, and he is not at all shy, still he didn\u2019t like Santa Claus at first.In fact he mistrusted him so much he wouldn't go near him, till for a considerable time he had watched other children approach Santa freely.Then, during a quiet spell, he gravely advanced and cautiously offered him a peanut.Santa took it with thanks and ate it.Michael grinned suddenly and then the two of them, like old cronies, sat there comfortably in the store finishing the rest of the peanuts and discussing Christmas business.% + % Michael and his French-Cana- dian cousins get on wonderfully well though neither understands a word the other says, On a recent day they invented a grand game with the window blind, one pulling it down with an admonition in French to leave it down, and the other pulling it up with instructions in English to leave it up-\u2014all while in the best of tempers! Michael may have forgotten many things in the land of his birth, but he has not forgotten his French-speaking Canadian Dad he left over there in hospital.When his mother receives a letter, Michael, usually quite unable to sit still for a moment, gravely past four o'clock; Canon Gilbert Oliver officiating, The child, who wore his maternal grandmother's dress, was given the names Gary Douglas.The godparents are Miss Norma Neilson, aunt of the baby; Flight Lieutenant Cuthbert Gifford, R.C.AF.overseas; and Lieutenant William Powles, R.C.A.M.C.The infant\u2019s grandfathers, Mr, E.S.Mr.\u201cStanley A.Neilson, stood proxy for the two godfathers.After the ceremony, the members of the immediate families and a few friends were entertained at tea at the home of the baby\u2019s maternal grandparents, The baby is the great-grandson of Mr, and Mrs, John C.Molloy, of Anfield, Liverpool, England.Davies, of Clanranald Avenue, and à i And So It Goes + + » By Betty Bruce \u2014 seats himself on a chair beside her and waits til] he hears the message sent just for him.\u2018Give Michael a kiss for me\u201d reads his mother, as he listens intently.Before she can read further he interrupts \u201cRead it again, Mum- mie!\u201d and he\u2019ll ask to have it read over and over, There must be many Michaels listening this Christmas to messages from their fathers in far places.To them, and to you all, may I say with affection \u2018A Merry Christmas!\u201d BERNARD LESHLEY ORGAN RECITAI SUBSCRIBERS Additional subscribers to the organ recital by Bernard Leshley, which will take place at Trinity Church next Thursday, under the sponsorship of the Women's Auxiliary of Remembrance Branch.No.75, Canadian Legion, are as follows: - Mr.Walter Botting, Mr.Edward Gunhouse, Mrs.Pinkney, Mrs, G.Adams, Mr.and Mrs.M.Brown, Mrs, Claude Gousdon, Mrs.W.A.Bradbury, Mr.and Mrs.Walton Blunt, Mr.and Mrs, Robt.Wilson, Mr, and Mrs.W.Gladwish, Mr.A.\u2018\u2019Westmount\u2019s Home Newspaper\u201d T, Bell, Miss Charlotte Booth, Mr, and Mrs.W.R.Bulloch, Mr, and Mrs.J.P.Jay, Mf.and Mrs, J.W, McKeown, Mr.and Mrs.L.À, Simon, Mr.and Mrs.M, Shannon, Mrs.A, M.Parkin, Mr, and Mrs, W.E.Montgomery, Mrs.P, Ross, Mrs, M, McCarthy, Mrs.J.Semple, Mrs.E, Crane, Mr.and Mrs.E.R.Fletcher, Mr.and Mrs.H.K.Har~ per, Mr.and Mrs.J.Wright, MR, and Mrs.A.Hosking, Miss C.Mitchell, Miss Ruth Easton, Mr, and Mrs.R.G.K, Ward, Mrs.M, L, Watt, Mr.and Mrs.N.Chalmers, Mr, and Mrs, W.N.Dunlop, Mr, and Mrs.Fred Furlong, Mr.and Mrs.Patterson, Mrs, G.A.Greig, Mrs.R.I.Harris, Mrs.E.G.Percy, Mrs.R.A, Hart, Mr, and Mrs, A, Borlace, Mrs, S.Nixon, Miss PB.Verdais, Mrs.P.Lagendyk and Mr.and Mrs, J, Bain.Meeting Cancelled Karnak Ladies Social Club announce the cancellation of their business and sewing meeting scheduled for Tuesday, January 2nd, 1945.Christmas Greetings 4 : To Our Customers and Friends We have enjoyed serving you in the past and hope that we may continue to be of service during 1945.PICCADILLY Valet Service WI.3205 - 154 Abbott Ave.(Just below St.Catherine) for CHRISTMAS Many thanks to our customers for their continued patronage during the past year and Sincere Wishes GREETINGS the Season to all.HAPPY NEW YEAR 4960 SHERBROOKE WEST (Near Claremont) Francis Beauty Salon MISS F.JOBIN DE.5686 @ SHIRTS for Camp Maternity Madame Joel, Limited, RL Cc) 4888 SHERBROOKE ® GLUVES @ KERCHIEFS @ SCARVES © HANDKERCHIEFS © LINGERIE e BED JACKETS e CORSETS @ BRASSIERES @ CAMP SUPPORTS © The only direct factory-authorized service Extend Cordial Good Wishes for a Very Merry Christmas To Their Customers and Friends LIMITED-+EST 1921 and Women's Surgical Supports in Westmount and Western Montreal.and Staff Store Open Daily\u20149 a.m.to 6 p.m.\"THE CORSETIERE OF DISCRIMINATING WOMEN\" Mi 3 ST.WESTMOUNT re à W D, 8, 8, 8 t.* tm de 8, 1 Fe A, 3., *Westmount's Home Newspaper\u2019 - SNAPPY WRAPPINGS When you tog out your Christmas package this year, use more imagination than paper, and your gift won't reflect any scarcities in festive wrappings.Because of a 409% cut in production, neither paper wrappings nor boxes are plentiful.But there is no apparent shortage of trimmings for ornamentation.Fairly plentiful is ribbon of showy rayon satin and flat taffeta finishes, Yärn, pine cones, sprigs, holly, berries, tles, tags and seals are around in enough variety to stir UD: the artist that lurks within evêry Christmas package-wrap- par.For economy\u2019s sake, place the boxed or unboxed gift on the wrapping sheet and cut sparingly to size with scissors.Save left- May the Bells Ring: in a DAY FOR ALL | Sheinart Dry Goods Reg\u2018d.3001 ST.ANTOINE ST.(Cor.Atwater) WI.6504 {.HOLI Sunfower Hat Shop Miss A.Corbeil and Miss M.Egan Wish to Extend SEASON'S GREETINGS To all customers and friends and to thank them for their patronage during the past year.5464 Sherbrooke West (Near Girouard) DE.2076 ¥ originality.#|swing is a cut-out scene showing ¥l drama of following the over strips for wrapping smaller packages.Keep a glue pot handy for sealing edges, thus saving paper by eliminating wasteful overlaps.With decorative paper, use plain ribbon or yarn;
