The Star offices wiU beclos- ed from Dec. 24 to Thursday, January 3, 1974, both days inclusive. We take this opportunity to wish our readers, our advertisers and aU our other friends the best of the season. ' A very'hierry Christmas and a happy and prosperous 1974. And we will see you again on Wednesday, January 9 during daylight saving hours. A legend of old tells how the Wise Men, following the first Christmas Star, lost it in the daylight hours. Coming at last to a well, they stopped to rest ahd quench their thirst. The first kindly one at the well bent over to draw water for his weary companions and lo! to his great joy, there mirrored in the still water he saw the Star again. The story goes that the Star still shines and we too can be guided to a place of Peace if we but bend our will to service of our fellow-man. The Heart, thus a Well of Love, reflects the eternal Star ever brightly and radiates Joy, Truth, and Good Will to all mankind. 2 THE STAR, MONDAY, DECEMBER i 24, 1973 1—■ ■■ - -i I I r- i ■ . , THREE FRASER MLLEY CAROLERS ...

So you won't find me running anybody down this week. No sir. I, too am full of love and general goodwill. And when I take this opportunity to wish you one and all a Menry Christmas and a Jolly and Prosperous New Year my - thoughts flash back to the adventures of a dear old friend of mine, James D. Brown whom I had the pleasure^ of meeting for the first time a few years ago. He certainly led a jolly life although not. always too prosperous. But that's the way itgdes. Good: Old Jimmy always tried hard, but seldom - except in one particular aspect • succeeded. He was, what the Jews would call, a mensch, or a human being; But I do not know whether he was actually too religious. The chapter of Am Brown's life which I have tried to out* line for you in a sketchy form in "Btry a. Christmas Tree, Guvnor 1" took place a few years ago when Vancouver was still very much a sleepy, provincial small-time town. I hope you will always be as jolly as Jim, but a lot more prosperous.

He was proud of the title 'laborer', although if there was something he had never tried, it was to labor. That is, he had In his younger days tried something that could - by a charitable definition - be labelled work, but he had never earned anything in the process. He had never had the gift of turning his meagre talents into hard, cold cash. AU he ever tried seemed to flop, take now for Instance the time he decided to become aty- coon selling X-mas trees. He didn't make a dime. But more about this later. All Jim Davidovitch's world- . ly goods consisted of a dirty frayed jacket he. had bought at the Sally Ann when he was still a single and prosperous young blade, a red handkerchief tied around his neck and a pair of pants with a hole in the bottom. The only shirt he'd ever owned had been cut up for diapers for his first horn, little Jack Stanislaus maqjr years before our story begins. Jacks.was now an occasional resident of Oakalla and Riverview. But more about this later. There was absolutely nothing strange about Jim Davidovitch's looks. He had small beady eyes, blue, a large nose, ruby red. His forehead was almost non-existant and his hair shining black. His brain weighed only 40.5 ounces, including the cerebellum, pituitary gland and the spinal cord. There were things he didn't' know about. He didn't know- there were two kinds of razor blades, one for .iwi^al. and one for delicate11 /BkmV\V Bub that didn't matter. He never shaved anyhow. His wife's name, was Tatiana. She was a Polack. They lived in a room across a harrow yard and up a flight of stairs id a seedy part of . Vancouver. They only paid $15. a month rent. That is, thanks to Tatiana they never paid the $15., but more about this later. Jim Davidovitch was home. Slowly he climbed the stairs. No sense in hurrying. All he had in store for him was a good bawling out. As usual. Because he didn't bring any money home. It »-as very difficult to make a living. He opened the door to the small room. It opened out. It had to open out, because in the abnormally small room ... > lived, besides Jim andTatiana, their grown, children, their ' teenaged chUdren and their babies, an undeterminable num- . ber of sons-and daughters-ln- ; law who also had chUdren, and Jim Davidovitch's brother >hls wife and two grown sons who were both married and had two small girls and a seven-month- 0 old baby boy. O It was no fun to live that close. It was almost a panic. - Always complaints. JlmDavld- ovitch was sometimes a bit tired of coming home to all the mess, and nobody respected him, not even his own chUdren. "Hi, old man," yelled a small snotty-nosed kid of about 13 months as Jim Davidovitch elbowed his way into the room. . Not much room, but somehow he managed to' close the door behind him. The room was full of lookalike kids of various sizes, cigarette smoke, wash ■ basins and breast-feeding mothers and nobody would have believed Davidovitch could have made room for himself. But he managed. Of course, two 7 of the small fry left through the open window as he enter- : ed. But that.had happened before. The two sat with their - pants down in the window sUl and sucked happily on a day-old piece of bread when the accident occurred. "Tatiana, where are you?" Jim Davidovitch called andcUp- ped a young girl a heavy blow behind the: ear When she tried to empty a bowl of pablumdown his neck. Tatiana emerged from acor* ner of the room. She was peeling potatoes on the chesterfield. The only piece ot furniture aside from the chest of drawers and some old bed springs. Next to her sat old Nick, the landlord. He had come to get his $15 but had become used to not getting it. He was not the type to evict a family because the rent wasn't paid on time. "Have you earned anything today?" askedTatlanaandyank- ed the stringy hair away from her eyes. Jim Davidovitch shook his head. "But I have an idea, Tatiana," he volunteered. .,- He sat down between his wife and old Nick. "I am gonna earn a lot of money now." '•Yeah?*' Tatiana .looked at him. Earn money? "You are not thinking of going to work?" "Right on," said Davidovitch. "I mean Pm not gonna work at hard manual labor. You know that I can't do that. But I'm gonna go into business. We have already lived for too long in this pig sty. This is the end. Do you have a chunk of snuff, Nick?" Reluctantly Nick handed him a piece of tobacco and Davidovitch inspected it closely." '•Don't you have .one that hasn't beeh^usedr'he asked. ButJ^ickdidh't; '.'PU teU ya' what Pm gonna do," Jim DaVidovitch said, PU go into the Christmas tree business. Simple as that." He sounded sufficiently modest. Old Nick shook his head. "Selling Christmas trees. You'U never make it. People are gonna laugh at you." "Another one of your crazy schemes," said Tatiana. "You're no good, Davidovitch. You can't even support your little family. I bet you can't even sell j Christinas trees, Davidovitch." She kicked a heap of potato peelings and a four-year-old girl ■ under the sofa. Of course she was right. Davidovitch was no good. Only he wasn't aware of that himself. :■' O-V ■ i "Pm gonna walk out to Shaughnessy and-see what they want for a house out there," he said.

"How's about a Christmas tree, sir?" Davidovitch asked the bank manager who walked by. "No thank you," the manager smiled and prepared to walk on but Davidovitch caught a hold of his overcoat. "They're cheap, tiro dollars for the small and four bucks for the larger. That's with the stand. They're good trees. Ya' cannot get 'em any better anywhere at any price." "I don't want a tree, absolutely nott" The banker wai trying to pull away. "Sorry, sir." Davidovitch single one." ."You never know," said Jim Davidovitch. He tightened his red neckerchief a bit and put his hands in his pockets. He'd started to shiver. The rain had made him soaking wet; He started to regret his initial idea of going into business. : "But they're nice trees," Nick said, and left .......... "WeU, hand over the purse, Davidovitch," his wife said when he came home that evening. "Whuffo purse?*T "The change you've received for your trees." Jim Davidovitch had to ad- With a Utile trouble Davidovitch got back on his feet; He was sore in his behind. : ' "You've been sitting in the pot of potatoes," Tatiana said angrily. "No other place," he said, pushing his way out of the room* v Next day we And him on Victory Square, busy hammering wooden stands under a stack of nice-looking Christmas trees. He hadn't bought the trees, he'd borrowed them in Stanley Park and brought them downtown on an old pushcart he'd borrowed from Nick. Four or five of his boys had been along in the early morning hours, they'd cut the trees, loaded them on the cart and brought them back across the deserted downtown streets. And now the trees were being mounted and set up in neat rows. In front were the smat let him loose and looked a- round for another victim. An old woman with a shopping bag happened hy. ... "Buy a Christinas tree from a poor man, lady," Davidovitch begged with a whining ; voice. He'd try that and see if it worked better. The woman stopped. . "I dont want a tree," she said, "but they are very idee trees. Very nice." "DoUar-flfty for the small and three-fifty for the larger ones," Davidovitch offered. •«No, thank you, very much." "Pm a poor man lady. Won't you please buy'due? PU give you that big one there for one doUar. That's with the stand." "No, I dont want any." "Pm a very poor man, lady. I haven't had anything to eat for...." "Here's a couple of eggs." She handedDavidovitehtwotdce grade-A eggs. He pocketed the eggs and she went on her way. " "Buy a Christmas tree, guv'- nor.". the guv'nor looked at 7 the trees and at Davidovitch. He smiled and walked on. "How are ya doing?...How's business?" It was Nick who popped up behind the back row. "Not too good, butl expect if U be better. The weather's not too good. If 8 not too good to sell Christmas trees when ifs raining." "You wont seU any, Davidovitch," Nick said. "Not a mit that he hadn't sold any trees, yet. It was the weather. People didn't buy X-mas trees when it was raining. And it had also been blowing a bit. People didn't buy Christmas trees when there was a wind ' blowing. "You haven't sold a single tree, you might as weU give ■4P." Tatiana grabbed a wet diaper and hung it up to dry on the wood stove. O "How about taking the diaper off the kid first?" asked Davidovitch. "You just leave that to me!" She was always usingaharsh tone of voice when speaking to her husband, ft made him sad. He tried to get over to the chesterfield but tt wasnt easy. On the floor about a dozen of the smallest ones were play- ' ing. Two were swinging from the coal oU lamp and around a wooden crate sat four adolescents playing black jack. : Davidovitch looked at them. He knew them not. "Who are those guys?" he i asked of one of his most obedient sons, Ivan, who was sitting on the edge of the bed i leafing through a heavy medical ' book. He was a good boy. He was studying medicine at : night and carrying groceries at the supermarket in the day time. 7' "I dont know, father," he said. "They've Uved here for about a month." Jim Davidovitch stumbled o- ver one of his daughters-in-law. She was sitting on the floor feeding her small twins. One of Davidovitch's brothers' sots' Uttle girl hit him with a bell in the eye. She got a whacking. She screamed. And so did half a dozen other kids. Davidovitch plunked himself down on the sofa. •♦Quiet!" he yelled, "I gotta sleep. I have a hard day ahead of me tomorrow." He felt something strange, ' fluid against his right leg. That was the eggs. They'd broken. . "Tatiana," he caUed, "come here, I bring scrambled eggs home," Then he feU asleep. . He got up the next morning about eleven4hirty. He had a beer, courtesy of the' welfare department and walked to Victory Square. He stood the trees up again and began selling his wares. "Wanna buy a Christmas tree, sir?" Nobody wanted to buy Davidovitch's Christmas trees. What a bunch of idiots, he thought. "Did you sell any?" Tatiana asked that evening. He shook his head, pushed his way over to the chesterfield and went to sleep. A week passed. Davidovitch didn't manage to seU a single tree. He tried just about every trick in-the book but even though he had by now lowered the price to 25 cents for the small and 30 cents for the big ' ones, nobody seemed to want to buy. And yet, they were nice trees. Finally, one Saturday night Jim Davidovitch opened die door to his and Tatiana's Uttle love nest and started pushing his 22 trees into the room, tt was quite a job, but they had to get in. There wasnt much room left... The babies cried - turd the daughters-in-law could, nt feed the small fry because the evergreen needles were most irritating to the bare skin. The big ones, the gamblers and the sons-in-law also complained. They thought there was Uttle enough room as tt was. "What do we want with those blankety-blank Christmas trees anyway?" asked the oldest son, Jack Stanislaus who stood leaning against the waU with a bottle of Bay Rum in his hand. He was intoxicated. "We're gonna chop them up for firewood. Nothing burns nicer than fir. And it smells nice when you light it." Davidovitch went down to fetch old Nick's axe and chopping block. Back upstairs'he threw eight or nine kids outside to get room for the chopping block. Later that evening he'd transfigured. aU the trees - save one - into firewood. "What about that tree?' asked Tatiana, "aren't yougoo- na chop that one up too, Davidovitch?" "Nb,'< said Davidovitch with a firm voice. "We wttl save that for Christmas." "For Christmas?" Tatiana snarled; "We never, use to have a Christmas tree. And besides, there's more than three months to Christmas. Lefs worry about that later." She cast a despairing glance at her husband. The poor idiot. She sighed. "You're no good, Davidovitch," she said with a tired voice. Jim Davidovitch looked a- cross the room and his many kids. "And yet," he said. Then he went to sleep on the chesterfield, the only piece of furniture in the room, save for a chest of drawers and some worn bedsprings. 4 THE STAB, MONDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1973 Pomander balls A pomander ball makes an unusual gift for a friend or yourself and a unique Christmas tree ornament. Its spicy perfume will blend delightfully with aU the smells you associate with Christmas. Make up a number of balls now, and have them on hand to present to unexpected guests or as hostess gifts during the holiday season. Hang a few on the tree and your guests will soon be sniffing away, trying to discover the source of the pleasant aroma. A pomander ball can be an orange, apple, lime, lemon or grape fruit, which has been studded with whole cloves and rolled in a mixture of cinnamon and orris root. Its scent is spicy and lasting. - To make your pomander ball you wiU need a can of whole cloves, orris root powder, which can be purchased from some drug stores, cinnamon, and fruit. Apples are easiest to work with. Once you'ye mastered them, try the thin-skinned oranges. Cover with cloves Coyer the. entire fruit with the whole cloves. As you push the cloves in, juices will ooze out of the apple, but don't become discouraged. The plea-" sant smells more than compensate for the stickiness. Place the cloves fairly close to one another. When you've finished this step, mix a teaspoonful of cinnamon and a teaspoonful of orris root together on a piece of wax paper. As you roll the apple in the mixture, work the powder down into and around the cloves. Now wrap the bail in tissue, wrapping paper, or newspaper and store the ball in a dark place for about two weeks. While the apple is curing, it may become soft, but itwon't decay. In time it wUl harden and shrink. Once the ball has been cured, wrap a ribbon a- round it or fold a square piece of netting over it and tie a ribbon around the top for hanging, ff you prefer, work some macrame to fit the ball. Goes almost anywhere What do you do with a pomander ball if you don't hang it on the Christmas tree? You tuck it in a drawer, on a shelf j or in a closet. You suspend it from a doorknob, a chair back, a naU or a hook. In short, you place itwhereveryouwould like a pleasant, refreshing smell. It is difficult to say how long a pomander ban will last. Some people have kept them for 8 to 10 years, and even after that they are stiU hard and fragrant. A clove-orange not only smells good, but is also said to keep away moths. Whether you keep your pomanders or give them away, they arecertaintoplease someone for many years.

BOB OWE Now Serving You in Aldergrove for Kissing Under Mistletoe The word "mistletoe" derives from the Anglo-Saxon word "mistleltan." It is a parasitic plant which grows on evergreen trees, with small yellowish-greeh leaves, yellowish flowers and waxy white, poisonous berries. Under a sprig of mistletoe men are by custom privileged to kiss any women standing under it. The man is supposed to first remove one. of the berries and present it to the woman. When all the berries are gone, this kissing game is over. It is thought this custom comes from an early pagan marriage rite. Mistletoe was considered sacred by the Druids in ancient Britain and they performed elaborate ceremonies around it at the winter solstice. Because of these pagan associations, it is seldom used in church decorations. To ail our friends . . . both old and new . . . we send our warmest Christmas wishes ' this holiday season. We sincerely hope. that you will enjoy richest blessings now' and through ihe bright new year to come.

Management and Staff Otter District Farmer's Institute How to protect your evergreens Winter injury can damage your evergreens. In fact, it is probably the No,l cause for evergreen failures. Reddening and browning of the needle tips which appears in the spring or as late as nudsummer, followed by an unthrifty condition and loss of branches is often caused by winter injury. The most common type of winter injury of evergreens is not caused by low temperatures and freezing of tissues, but rather by the drying out of leaf tissues because of undue evaporation of moisture. Dry winds and periods of unseasonable high temperatures with intense sunlight cause an excess loss of water by evaporation. If this condition occurs at a time when the soil is frozen or when the roots are still dormant, sufficient water cannot be absorbed by the roots to replace that lost by evaporation. Watering before frost Evergreen plantings should be adequately watered as cold weather approaches, so the plants can go into the winter with a good supply of moisture. During the first few years after planting, if the plants have not been mulched through the summer, it is best to put two or three inches of peat moss around the trunk area in the early winter. Then, after the ground is frozen, place six to 10 inches of leaves or straw around the plants. This should be done around all plants in sections where winter injury is probable.' Newly planted evergreens in locations exposed to prevailing winds or to intense sunlight should be protected during the winter by burlap or some other means. Foliage washing The foliage of evergreens should be washed by spraying with the garden hose once or twice during the winter. Pick a day when the temperature is decidedly above freezing. Thoroughly soak the foliage. This will clean dust and smoke particles from the pores of the needles and supply moisture which will be taken into the tissues of the plant and prevent drying out. Don't neglect your evergreens this winter. A few minutes spent in providing the proper protection will preserve and keep the beauty they add to your home landscape. The annual known to botanists as tithonia has the common names of Inca's flower or golden flower of the Incas or Mexican sunflower — take your choice. If you like scarlet- orange flowers, daisy-like in shape, and can use fairly tall plants in your garden, why not try this unusual annual this year? Buy seeds of a variety the height you'd like. The older Speciosa tithonia grows 12 feet high but doesn't begin to flower until late in summer. To give it a longer growing season, it is best to start seeds indoors. Avalon variety is the earliest to bloom, starting in June and continuing until frost. This grows 8 feet high. The Moot variety Torch is small enough 'for any garden and has the advantage of coming intoflower much earlier than Speciosa, though later than Avalon. the brilliant blooms of tithonia are borne on straight, stiff stems, making them ideal for cutting for use indoors. The leaves are good size and, since the plants have many branches, it is possible to use tithonia as a screen planting if you need one. Tithonia also is excellent for planting at the back of a border. * * •* *m ASoyous 'Christinas May your hopes b*v fulfilled...may your joy be dt»p and las tint).

Thirty-two members attended along with Comrade Johnson from Zone com-: mand. Membership reported two new members, one transfer in and four new Fraternals. 7 Donations to worthy causes in the last month were $50 to Girl Guides, $25 to Boy Scouts, $25 to Sea Cadets, $100 to Salvation Army and $100 to Aldergrove Lions for their crippled children fund and a fridge and hot plate to Parkside school. The largest expenditure authorized was $1020 to rent two hours ice time each week to be;■ used by elementary children for learners, free skating and instruction. | It is now hoped that the teachers of all the schools in AldergroveSreawill get together and arrange a schedule of age groups and instructors to handle the children during these two hours. One veteran was heard to remark, "Count me out, this could make D-day look like a Sunday school picnic." The children's party held last Sunday was attended by 67 children and was a great success. The building extension is now near ing completion with ceiling, lights and sliding doors installed and hopefully plumbing by New Years. The Ladies Auxiliary held their meeting at the same time and donated a cheque for $3000 to the branch.

Strout Income accountants cluck their tongues over President Nixon's financial accounts as an object lesson of what can be done with really good lawyers under present tax laws. On adjusted gross income of $262,942.56, In 1970, the. Nixons paid total federal income tax of $792.81. Their average payments for three years came to about the same as that of a typical wage-earner's family making, $15,000. Unless there is some technical flaw, Mr. Nixon's lawyers appear to have violated no law. In Denmark, millionaire Mor- gens Glistrup's new anti-tax Progress Party was the sensation of the recent election. Mr. Glistrup boasts that he has never paid any income taxes. The Economist (London) thinks other Western countries should note the Danish result as a possible portent. Mr. Nixon did pay nominal federal taxes, but according to his records he paid no California state income tax although he votes A spokesman for Mayor Joseph L. Alioto of San Francisco, last month, told the press that he paid no federal income tax in 1970, 1971, and 1972 on an income of $356,995, because of business tosses. California's Gov.

On the Senate floor, Nov. 30, Sen. Charles Percy (R) of Illinois said, .'«I think it is absolutely unconscionable for people with high incomes to be paying no taxes." Mr. Percy of course is entitled to his opinion. But Congress is slow to act. Sen. Walter F. Mondale «QD) of Minnesota reported last April 1 that 276 individuals with incomes in excess of $100,000 in 1971 paid no federal income tax that year.

They subsidize "upsidedown assistance," he argues, because "the wealthier toe individual the greater is his subsidy and, conversely, if a person is so poor he does not pay an income tax, he does not receive any sibsidy at all." While many people have a vague feeling that there is something wrong in the tax structure Congress is hesitant about tax reform. It realizes, perhaps, how much of its own campaign money comes from people living in tax shelters.

Ironically, the same people who gave us that festive opener, Thanksgiving, were to blame for banning Yule celebrations. The Puritans were so set against any display of merrymaking on December 25th, that they enacted laws against observing the holiday. Their denunciations dampened the Christmas spirit in New England well into the 18th century. The trouble began with the Mayflower landing in 1620. The Puritan separatists from the Church of England, Pilgrims, who landed at Plymouth, Massachusetts, that December were a different breed than their English brethren in the colony of Jamestown, hi the southern outpost Christmas was celebrated in the traditional manner. Indeed, one Jamestown chronicler, caught on a journey in bad weather, took refuge with the Indians. He recorded on December 25th, 1613: "The extreme wind, rain, frost and snow caused us to keep Christmas among the savages where we were never more merry, nor fed on plenty of good oysters, flesh, wild fowl and good bread, nor never had any better fires in England." Earlier Europeans, on American shores also made merry in their fashion. Vikings who wintered over in Vinland feasted; Spanish in Florida and the Caribbean and the French in Canada celebrated mass and held galas; later Dutch and Swedes in New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey also knew how to keep the holiday. But not the Puritans. The 35 "Pilgrims" who sailed aboard the Mayflower had earlier gone into exile in Holland. There, they and their pastor, John Robinson, had antagonized the hospitable burghers with their scorn of Christmas as a "human invention" having no warrant in scripture. They railed against the revelry of the day as a survival of pagan custom dating back to the days of the saturnalia. Those who made the Mayflower crossing carried hatred of the "wanton Bacchanalian" fest with them to America. Though the Mayflower had made landfall at Cape Cod in November, it wasn't until late December that selection of a site for the Plymouth colony was made. On Christmas Day, 1620, work began in earnest on providing shelter for the survivors of the hazardous crossing. The mencame ashore that day /'some to fell timber, some to saw, some to rive, and some to carry, so no man rested all that day," to begin construction of a Common House.The Mayflower .however contained 66. other persons, - sailors, craftsmen, servants — who did not share the Pilgrims' disdain of the holiday. The master of the Mayflower, Captain Christopher Jones, was a good host. William Bradford, the Pilgrim leader, noted in his diary: "Monday the 25th being Christmas Day we began to drink water aboard. But at night the Master caused us to have some beer." The men left ashore werr not so lucky. They endured a Christmas night of storm and Indian alert. The arrival the following year of the ship Fortune was a mixed blessing forthecolony. The ship brought needed supplies after that disastrous first winter, but not all of the newcomers were Puritans, and Christmas of 1621 caused a rift in the settlement. Bradford again recorded: "The Governor (Bradford) called the people out to work as usual; but most of the new company excused themselves, and said it went against their consciences to work on that day. So the Governor told them, if they made It a matter of conscience, he would spare them till they were better informed. So he went with the rest, "and left them." The matter didn't end there. Bradford, returning from work with the other Pilgrims, was shocked when "... he found them at play in the street, some pitching the bar, some at stool ball and such like, sports. So he went to them and took away their games, and told, them that it was a- gainst his conscience that they Should play and others work. If they made the keeping of the day a matter of devotion, let them remain ih their houses. But there should be no gaming or revelling In the streets." Such disagreement on celebration of Christmas continued between the theocratic rulers of the colony and later non- Puritan colonists. Finally, to curb further 'outrages' against Puritan belief, the. General Court of Massachusetts Bay in 1659 enacted: "Whoever shall be found observing any such days as Christmas or the like, either by forbearing labor, feasting, or any other way ... shall pay for every such offense five shillings;" As late as 1685, Judge Samuel Sewall, reflecting opposition of Puritan clergy to the revelry , indulged in by increasing numbers of the new arrivals, noted in his diary on Christmas Day: "Carts come to town and shops open as usual. Some somehow observe the day, but are vexed I believe that the, Body of the People Profane it, and blessed be God no authority yet to compel them to keep it." However, time, the people and Yule influences from surrounding EngUsh and Dutch colonies continuously worked against the Puritans,, and in time, the country whereChrist- mas was outlawed became the snow, steeple andsleighChrist- mas card idea of the land of Merry Christmas. bcsi wisticslor gentle holiday thoughts, and true contentment to all our fine neighbors.

Bethlehem was one more turn to the right, and up the hill. He tugged at the halter on the little donkey and the hoofs stirred the brown talcum of the road. Joseph's home town, Nazareth, was seventy-five miles north and this journey could not have happened at a worse time. Cyrinus, the legate of Caesar Augustus, had ordered a census. So that noses could not be counted twice, every family was ordered to go to the town of the father's people. Joseph's people were the sons of David. The family seat was Bethlehem. He did not want to leave his wood-planing and carpentry, but the law said that he must. So he had to sacrifice income, just after taking Mary as his wife. She was young, hardly seventeen, and was modest of spirit as well as of speech, and Joseph was hurt to find, before he took her to his home, that she was going to have a baby. He was a good man. The custom said that he could expose her publicly and be done with his obligation, or he could take her to wife. He had decided on a third course — to put her away secretly. Then he had a dream. An angel told him that Mary was pregnant of the Holy Spirit and that she would bear a son who should be named Jesus, and Jesus would be God, and the Son of God. His feet hurt. At the inn, he left Mary, outside. He knew that she was troubled. She sat with head down, hands on knees, on the little donkey. She had 'been taught patience long ago. -. The innkeeper had no room. ■He pointed. All the sons of the house of David slept on the floor of the public room.Child- ren slept intheir mothers' laps. Joseph whispered to the innkeeper. The man swallowed. >He was sorry, but where could they put her? His eloquent hands pointed around the inn. , Take her then, the innkeeper said, down the path to the cave below. It would be an ugly place, ammoniated inthe dung of animals, but there would be privacy. Joseph listened. And nodded. And left. He told Mary. She had little to say. Joseph led the donkey down, down the side of the hill. Mary told him to wait outside of the cave. Joseph got some straw and made a pallet. He looked upon his wife and all the mercy and tenderness of a good man were in his brown eyes. He left. And now in the gloom of the' cave, only ■ the camels and donkeys and cows saw the sweet miracle of man. Far down in the valley, and across the Mountains of Moab to the east, men looked up and saw a new star, larger than all the others, almost a fusing of severalstars intoone silvery beam of light. And the men, terror-stricken, saw an angel rise up off the valley floor and the angel said: 'VDo not fear. Listen. I bring, you tidings of great joy which is iii store for the whole nation. A Savious, who is the Lord Messiah; was bom to you in jbavid's town. > Arid this will serve you as a token: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and cradled in a manger." i The men wept* Their wait and the wait of their forefathers for many centuries were over, The Messiah had come. In the shimmering tears of happiness they heard another angel, joined in chorus by a heavenly host of voices, sing- ing: "Glory to God in the heavens above, and on earth peace to men of good will."

Aldergrove Ph. 856-2811 ML THE STAR, MONDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1973 How to i^^^pipSl^p the spectacular comet Kohoutek Comet Kohoutek will be easily visible for little more than a month, and it may not return for 10,000 years. Thus, many amateur photographers will attempt to capture its uniqueness on film, to preserve it for future reference. After Dec. 28 when it swings behind the sun, the best time for viewing and photographing the comet will be in the early evening hours. It should appear in the southwest sky a- bout 5:30 p.m. in most parts of Canada. The average Instamatic probably won't be of any use in photographing Kohoutek. But a 35 mm. camera or airy with a capacity for time exposure shouldn't have trouble. Be sure to use a sturdy tripod. Any film, color or black- and-white, woth an ASA rating from 64 to 400 will work. Use a normal lens with an aperture of f2 or f2.8 and make a series of exposures from 10 seconds to one minute. This range of exposures should produce some spectacular photographs. Exposures more than one minute long will produce distortion of the comet head because of its movement in the night sky relative to the earth. The best photographs canbe made from elevated locations or in open terrain affording an unobstructed view of the night sky — away from the sky glare associated with the light from cities or towns. If you just want to see Kohoutek, the same is true: In the city get as high as you can, but better still, get out of the city. During December if you go outdoors about an hour before sunrise the comet can be seen in the southeast about 20 degrees above the horizon. By early December, no optical aid was needed. Starting about Dec. 1, the motion of the comet became predominantly eastward, so that on successive mornings, one hour before sunrise, the comet appeared nearer the horizon, and fay Dec. 19 it rose only one hour before the sun. For the next four days the comet will be observed in morning twilight as it moves toward its Dec. 28 swing behind the sun. It is during this period that the comet may be most spectacular.. From its passage behind the sun until Jan. 2, the comet will set less than an hour after the sun, and then will be observed in dark skies, somewhat south of west. Each successive night at one hour after the sun sets, the comet will be higher in the sky, until in the first week of February it Peace on Earth, Good Will ^Toward Men.

Christmas Cheer among the earliest pioneers in Upper Canada (Ontario) varied greatly, for what we think of as Christmas fare was very scant, in the earliest period before the War of 1812, salt pork, potatoes and Indian corn were the only supplies available. To obtain flour, the settler's grain had to be carried - often on his back — to a distant mill for grinding. ChUdren were fed porridge made from Indian corn, boiled sometimes for a whole day to produce a soft mush.

With little or no fencing, chickens and livestock could not be kept because of the all-enclosing forest, into which they were likely to stray and be lost. - As for the quality of pioneer cooking, Dr. William Dun- lop, the "Backwoodsman", who wrote one of the earliest accounts of life in Canada, quotes the old saw: "God sends meat and the devil cooks". Not surprising, since without cold storage facilities,, butter, milk and cheese soon became rancid. As the years passed andcon- ditions improved, holiday fare became more plentiful. Ann Langton, in her journal (published as "A Gentlewoman in Upper Canada") describes a Christmas party in 1838, just a year after the Rebellion. Ann tells of "popping three plum puddings into the pot" for a holiday dinner, which included "soup, boiled pork (the national dish), roast goose, chicken pie and vegetables, with a second course of plum pudding, apple tart and a trifle". Winters were really cold in those early days. The winter of 1883, the mercury froze in the thermometer, whichtouch- ed 40 below zero. But travel on Upper Canada's primitive roads was better when they were snow-packed. AndChrist- mas visiting was popular, the snugly dressed guests arriving in sleighs or even in wagon boxes mounted on runners. Christmas Whan tha wast Wad young ■ In the West*s first settlement at Red River (now Winnipeg), the Scots, whom Lord Selkirk brought there in 1812, celebrated the Christmas feast as a close-knit community. It was here that "Hurl", played by teams between goals on ice," using sticks and a ball, not a buck, is supposed to have marked the origin of hockey in Canada. In the evening everyone danced to the bagpipes. Not until 1820 Was the Christmas season {celebrated as a religious festival in the two mission churches {Frenclj-Catholic and English Protestant). But Red River folk saw bad times. in the Christmas of 1821, When each person in the settlement was rationed to one pint of wheat a day, boiled into a thin soup. By 1831, Joseph James Har- - grave was able to describe a happier Christmas, for now Red River was a well-established Hudson's Bay Company post. For months before the holiday, loaded dog teams were bringing an abundance of supplies into the trading stores of Fort Garry - even;the carcass of a bear. Christmas dinner was served in the Fort's great hall. On the long table were smoking roasts of beef, unborn buffalo calf (boiled whole), a gourmet delicacy, besides every. kind 7 of vegetable. The dinner ended with "fur trade" pudding, as near to the traditional English plum pudding as could be achieved considering theshdrt- age of currants and raisins. Sometimes driedSaskatoOnber- ries were substituted. O'Letc us jflrltik to absent friends," was the. only toast of these folk so far removed from the. people and* places they loved. ■'* "'.

Recently a driver did not stop quickly enough behind a Volkswagen driven hy a middle-age woman. Instead of producing his driver's license after the accident, he added further to her throbbing headache and whiplash by refusing to give details of ownership of his friend's motor vehicle which he was driving at the time. Her husband had to drive to the office of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police who almost immediately secured the necessary information. Anyone who cares to take a look in the provincial book containing signs to safety, ought to know that following an accident, he is required to give his name and address, and number of his driver's licence to the other party or any injured person. He must also give details of ownership of the vehicle being driven. A New Westminster adjuster conceded that too often the guilty driver did not want to co-operate. As a result, several extra gallons of gasoline were consumed because a driver chose to be careless and stubborn. One thousand such drivers could cause a waste of two or three thousand gallons of precious fuel. All this could be avoided by a careful look at the book and hy following its directions to safety. This reminds us of the story of a college student. He needed a new car and asked his father for financial assistance. He was very pleased when his parents offered to do so. He was instantly given a brand new book to read, and a promise that the necessary cash would follow his perusal of its rather enlightening contents. After several weeks have passed by, he reminded his dad about the car; and was asked if he had happened to finish reading the book. He promised to take another look at the book.

Before his very eyes, he saw his dad opening the book; and pointing to some new pages which appeared to be stuck together, the latter slit them a- part, when out flew a cheque for the total amount needed for the car. The young man got the cheque with the book all the time; but did not bother to follow the instructions given him at the time. It's just a case of taking a look at the book. What is the Holiday all a- bout? What is all this singing about? Perhaps a look at the Book will give the right answer. "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God, being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus." "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." "But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His Name." "These things have I written unto you that believe on the Name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the Name of the Son ofGod." What all might have been a- voided by a careful look at the Book in which these passages were found? They are located in Luke 2:11; Luke 2:14; John 3:16; Romans 3:23,24; Ro- mans 6:23; John 1:12; and 1 John 5:13; ff you want a brand new life and a genuine New Year, just study them again.

Many a happy hour she had spent planning for something nice for him. Something fine and rare and sterling - something just a little bit near to being worthy of the honor of being owned by Jim. There was a pier-glass between the windows of the room. Perhaps you have seen a pier- glass in a $8 flat. Avery thin and very agile person may, by observing his reflection In a rapid sequence of longitudinal strips, obtain a fairly accurate conception of his looks. Delia, being slender, had mastered the art. Suddenly she whirled from the window and stood before the glass. Her eyes were shining brilliantly, but her face had lost its color within twenty seconds. Rapidly' she pulled down her hair and let it fall to its full length. ""Now, there were two possessions of the James Dillingham \ Youngs in which they both had a mighty pride. One was Jim's gold watch that bad been his father's and his grandfather's. The other was Delia's hair. Had. the Queen of Sheba lived inthe flat across the airshaft, Delia would have let her hair hang out the window some day to dry just to depreciate Her Majesty's jewels and gifts. Had King Solomon been the janitor, with all his treasures piled up in the basement, Jim would have pulled out his watch every time he passed, just to see him pluck at his beard from envy. So now Delia's beautiful hair fell about her rippling and shining like a cascade of brown waters. It reached below her knee and made itself almost a garment for her. And then she did it up again nervously and quickly. Once she faltered for a minute and stood still while a tear or two splashed on the worn red carpet. On went her old brown jacket; on went her old brown hat. With a whirl of skirts and with the brilliant sparkle still in her eyes, she fluttered out the door and down the stairs to the street. ■ •■■- Where she stopped the sign read: "Mme. Sofronie. Hair Goods of All Kinds." Oneflight up Delia ran, and collected herself, panting. Madame,, large, too white, chilly, hardly looked the"Sofronie." "Will you buy my hair?* asked Delia. ' "I buy rhair," said Madame. "Take your hat off and let's have a sight at the looks of it." Down rippled the brown cascade. "Twenty dollars," said Madame, lifting the mass with a practised hand. X "Give it tome quick," 'said Delia. Oh, and the next two hours tripped by on rosy wings. Forget the hashed metaphor. She was ransacking the stores for Jim's present. . She found it at last. It surely had been made for Jim and no one .else. There was no other like it in any of the stores, and she had turned all of them inside out. It was a platinum fob Chain simple and chaste in design, properly proclaiming its value hy substance alone and not by meretricious ornamentation —as all good things should do. It was even worthy of The Watch. As sopn as she saw it she knew tint it must be Jim's. It was like him. Quietness and value — the description applied to both. Twenty-one dollars they took from her for it, and she hurried home with the87cents. With that chain on his watch Jim might be properly anxious about the time in any company.. Grand as the watch was, he sometimes looked at it on the sly on account of the old leather strap that he used in place of a chain. When Delia reached home her. intoxication gave way a, little to prudence and reason. She got out her curling irons and lighted the gas and went to work repairing the ravages made by generosity added to love. Which is always a tremendous task, dear friends - a mammoth task. Within forty minutes her head was covered with tiny, close- lying curls that made her look wonderfully like a truant school boy. She looked at her reflection in the mirror long, carefully and critically. .. "If Jim doesn't kill me," she said to herself, "before he takes a second look at me, he'll say I look like a Coney Island chorus girl. But what could I do—oh! what could I do with a dollar and eighty-seven cents?" At 7 o'clock the coffee was made and the frying-pan was on the back of the stove hot and ready to cook the chops. : Jim was never late. Delia doubled the fob chain in her hand and sat on the corner of the table near the door that he always entered. Then she heard his steps on the stair way down on the first flight, and she turned white for just a moment. She had a habit of saying little silent prayers about the simplest everyday things, and now she whispered: "Please, God, make him think I am still pretty." The door opened and Jim stepped in and closed it. He looked thin and very serious. Poor fellow, hewas only twenty- two - and to be burdened with a family I He needed a new overcoat and he was without gloves. Jim stopped inside the door, as immovable as a setter at the scent of quail. His eyes - Were fixed upon Delia, and there was an expression in them that she could not read, and it terrified her. It was not anger, nor surprise, nor disapproval, nor horror, nor any of the sentiments that she had been prepared for. He simply stared at her fixedly with that peculiar expression. J Delia wriggled off the table and went for him. "Jim, darling/' she cried, "don't look at me that way. I had my hair cut off and sold it because I couldn't have lived through Christmas without giving you a present. Ifll grow out again - you won't mind, will you? I just had to do it. My hair grows awfully fast. Say 'Merry Christmas!' Jim and let's be happy. You don't-- know* what a nice -what a beautiful, nice gift Pve got for you." . % ' lOvy . % 'lYM've cut off your hair?" 7 asked Jim, laboriously, as if he had not arrived at that patent fact yet even after, the hardest mental labor. - . "Cut it off and sold it," \ said Delia. "Don't you like me just as well, anyhow? Pm me without my l*tfa*f',riilii'tsW**; Jim looked about the room curiously. * - "You say your hair is gone?" he said, with an air almost of idiocy, "You needn't look for it," said Delia. "It's sold, I tell you - sold and gone, too. It's Christmas Eve, boy. Be good to me, for it went for you. Maybe the hairs of my head were numbered," she went on with a sudden, serious sweetness. "But nobody could ever count my love for you. Shall I put the chops on, Jim?" Out of the trance Am seemed quickly to wake. He enfolded his Delia. For ten seconds let us regard with discreet scrutiny some inconsequential object in the other direction. Eight dollars a week or a million a year — what is the difference? A mathematician or a Wit would give you the wrong answer. The magi brought valuable gifts, but that was not among them. This dark assertion will be illuminated later on. Jim drew a package from his overcoat pocket and threw it upon the table. "Don't make any mistake, pellj" he said, ••about me. 1 don't think there's aiiythingin the way of a haircut or a shave . or a Shampoo that could make, me like my girl any less. But!: if you'll unwrap, that package? you may see why you had me going a while at first." - White fingers and nimble tore at the string and paper. And then an ecstatic scream of joy; and then, alas! aquickfemtatae change to hysterical tears and wails, necessitating the immediate employment of all the comforting powers of7 the lord of the flat. For there lay The Combs — the set of combs, side and back, that Delia had worshipped for long to a Broadway window. Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jewelled rims — just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, butthetressesthatshould have adorned the coveted adornments were gone. But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim!" And then Delia leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, "Oh, oh!" Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held1 it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit. "Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it." Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled. "Dell," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em awhile. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on."; • the Magi, as you know, were wise men - wonderfully wise men - who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chi*ohic|e of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days- let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. Of all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi. ' 0;fe,.-v %% I —mm 14 THE STAR, MONDAY. DECEMBER 24, 1978 CHRISTMAS CAROLS 1 Silent Night Silent night! Holy night! All is calm, all is bright, Round yon virgin mother and child! Holy infant, so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace. Silent night! Holy night! Shepherds quake at the sight! Glories stream from heaven afar, Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia, Christ, the Saviour is born! Christ, the Saviour is born! Silent night! Holy night! Son of God, love's pure light, . Radiant beams from Thy holy face, With the dawn of redeeming grace Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth, Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth. In Excelsis Gloria When Christ was born of Mary free In Bethlehem in that fair city; Angels sung e'er with mirth and glee, In excelsis gloria Chorus: In excelsis gloria, In excelsis gloria, In excelsis gloria, In excelsis gloria. Herdmen beheld these angels bright To them appeared with great light, And said, "God's son is born this night". In excelsis gloria, i ■ Chorus:, The King is come to save his kind, In the Scriptures as we find; Therefore this song we have in mind: In excelsis gloria. Chorus: Then, dear Lord, for Thy great grace, Grant us the bliss to see Thy face, Where we may sing to Thy solace: In excelsis gloria. 4 Good King Wenceslas Good King Wenceslas looked out On the Feast of Stephen, When the snow lay 'round about, Deep and crisp and even; Brightly shone the moon that night, Tho' the frost was cruel. When a poor man came in sight, Gath'ring winter fuel! "Hither, page, and stand by me, If you know'st it, telling, Yonder peasant, who is ne? Where and what His Dwelling?" "Sir, he lives a good league hence, Underneath the mountain: Right against the forest fence, By St Agnes' fountain." "Bring me flesh and bring me wine, Bring me pine logs hither; Thou and I will see him dine. When we bear Him thither." Page and monarch forth they went. Forth they went together, Through the rude wind's wild lament, And the bitter weather. "Sir, the night is darker now And the wind blows stronger; Fails my heart, I know not how, I can go no longer." "Mark my footsteps, good my page; Tread thou in them boldly; Thou shalt find the winter's rage Freeze thy bleod less coldly." in his master's steps he trod, Where the snow lay dinted: Heat was in the very sod Which the saint had printed. Therefore, Christian men, be sure. Wealth or rank possessing, Ye who now will bless the poor Shall yourself find Messing. & SONGS O Little Town of Bethlehem 0 little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie. Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary; And, gathered all above While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering loVe. 0 morning stars, together Proclaim the holy Birth And praises sing of God and King, And peace, to men on earth. How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift Is given. So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him, stiU. The dear Christ enters in. O Holy Chttd of Bethelehem, Descend on us, we pray, Cast out our sin, and enter in; Be born in us today, We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord, Emmanuel. The First Noel The first Noel the angels did say, Was to certain poor shepherds in fields whe re thev 1 &v * In fields where they 'lay keeping their sheep ' .On a cold winter's night that was so deep. Refrain: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. They looked up and saw a star Shining .in the east beyond them so far, And to earth it gave great light, And so continued both day and night. And by the light of that same star Three wise men came from country far; To seek for a King was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went. This star drew nigh to the northeast, O'er Bethlehem it took its rest. And there it did bojth stop and stay Right over the place where Jesus lay. Then entered in those wise men three Full reverently upon their knee, And offered there in His presence Their gold and myrrh and frankincense. Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord; , That hath made heaven and earth of nought, And with His blood mankind hath bought. While Shepherds Watched While shepherds watched their flocks by night, All seated on the ground, The Angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone around. "Fear not," said he, for mighty dread Had seized their troubled mind; "Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all mankind." .. : "To you,"in David's,town, this day. Is born of David's line A Saviour who is Christ the Lord;. And this shall be the sign: "The heavenly Babe you there shall find To human view display'd, All meanly wrapped in swathing And in a manger laid." Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith Appear'd a shining throng Of Angels, praising God, who thus Address'd their joyful song: "All glory be to God on high, And to the earth be peace; Good will henceforth, from heaven to men' Begin, and never cease." We Three Kings We three kines of Orient are Bearing-gifts; we traverse afar Field and fountain, moor and mountain, Following yonder star. Refrain: 0 star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright, Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to the perfect light. Solo (Melchoir) : Born a King on Bethlehem's plain, Gold I bring to crown Him again. King forever, ceasing never; Over us all to reign. Solo (Caspar): Frankincense to offer have I, Incense owns a Deity nigh; Prayer apd "braising, all men raising, Worship Him, God most High. Solo (Balthazar): Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume Breathes a life of gathering gloom; Sorrowing, singing, bleeding, dying, Sealed in the stone-cold tomb. Glorious now behold Him arise, King and God and Sacrifice; - Alleluia. Alleluia, Earth to the heavens replies. 8 God Rest You Merry Gentlemen God rest you merry gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay, Remember Christ your Saviour Was born upon this day, To save us all from Satan's power When we were gone astray. Refrain: 0 tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy. 0 tidings of comfort and joy. Now to the Lord sing praises, All you within this place, And with true love and brotherhood Each other .now embrace; This holy tide of Christmas All other doth efface. Away In A Manger Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head; The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay,' The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.

When St. Nicholas learned of three young women who were unable to attract suitors because their father was too poor to provide them with a dowry, lie filled three bags with gold one night and threw them into the windows of the rooms of the young women. Soon after, they were all happily married. Unexpected' gifts were thereafter attributed to St. Nicholas. The myth that Santa Claus descends the chimney to fill the stockings comes from the Norsemen. Their legend tells us that at the winter solstice the goddess Hertha appeared in their fireplaces and brought with her happiness and good fortune. Dr. Clement Clarice Moore, a professor in the General Theological Seminary in New York, put the myth in the form of a poem, "The Visit of St. Nicholas." He Invented the sleigh and the reindeer and his description of St. Nicholas was suggested by the appearance ot a German man-of-all-work in his employ. The sleigh bells were suggested by the bells on the bridle of his own horse. He wro* the poem for his children in 1822 and read it to them on Christmas Eve of that year. This poem has become the foundation of our own rich American tradition about Santa Claus. The Legend of Christmas Tinsel According to an old legend, a poor peasant woman, with many children, decorated a Christmas tree with such humble trimmings as she "■ was %ble1' toother,' mostly berries and nuts and such odds and ends as she had managed: to save up during the year. She labored far into the night trying to make her tree as beautiful as she could. While she was asleep, spiders came and crawled from branch to branch trailing their lacy webs behind them. To reward the woman for her devotion, The Christ Child blessed the tree and all the spider webs were turned into gleaming silver.

Others are planning a time of giving and sharing among friends. They expect to enjoy the warmth of home, human companionship, contentment, and gratitude for gifts of love. Still others may be facing the prospect of a quiet weekend alone - not always from choice, but through force of unkind human circumstances. But they need not be lonely, and they will not be if they open their hearts to the deep, spiritual message of Christmas, for it brings a conviction of eternal joy and love for them and for everyone through the grace of God. This message of divine Love's presence and healing power in the worldcomes quietly. It reaches mankind through the channel of spiritual perception, and is discerned most clearly when the clamor of the material senses is least obtrusive. Knowing from her own experience how the deep meaning of the nativity can best be understood, Mary Baker Eddy once wrote, "I love to observe Christmas inquietude, humility, benevolence, charity, letting good will toward man, eloquent silence, prayer, and praise express my conception of Truth's appearing." (''The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany," p.262). Throughout history Truth's message to mankind has always come quietly. When God's word of comfort was heard by ' Elijah on Mount Horeb, it was not in a strong wind or an earthquake, but in "astill small voice" 0 Kings 19:12). After this he was never alone a- gain, lor he found a friend and willing follower in EUsha. . It is a cherished tradition that the starlight night of Jesus' birth was silent. No elaborate preparation, no great fan- fare heralded the advent of the Prince of Peace. Though it was the greatest, holiest event in the history of mankind's spiritual development, it occurred in the quiet sanctuary of a simple stable while the people of Bethlehem slept. Thirty- three years later it was at dawn, on a quiet beach at the Sea of Galilee, that the Master proved to his disciples by his presence the eternal, Indestructible nature of Life. Now, as in the past, we need quietude if we are to discern the deep significance of the supreme appearing of God's idea in Christ Jesus, tt we are to profit by his birth and the revelation of Truth he brought to mankind, and receive the enlightenment that enabled him toovercomedeath, we must be humbly, spiritually receptive. In order to hear the "Still small voice", we need to listen with our hearts in the privacy of silent prayer. ■<■■.- y-- Sometimes in the midst of family festivities it Is not easy to withdraw for a while, but a time of quiet communion with God can be the means of our receiving the most precious, lasting Christmas gift of all, It can bring us the consciousness of Christ, the true idea of God, and the perfect nature of His manifestation, man, which comforts, saves, and heals. . Anyone who sets aside a part of the coming days to commemorate in "eloquent silence" the dawn of Truth and the glory of eternal Life in human consciousness -Whether he is spending them withfamily or friends, or quietly alone- will have the happiest and moat profitable Christmas that anyone could wish. .. •Christian Science Monitor.

Slow Drowad Avoid Disappointment- Order tickets Now Ph : |534-7481 The following safety rules for the handling of Christmas trees in the home will ensure you of a safe and merry hoUday, the Canadian forestry association points out. 0) Because your tree begins to lose moisture as soon as it has been cut, it is recommended that as soon as. it is brought into your home, you saw off the butt end at least one inch above the original cut and then place it in a cool shady place with the butt end placed in a container of water. (2) During the entire time the tree is in use in the home, be sure the butt end is kept in water. Refill the container every day as the tree absorbs the water which keeps it fresh and green and reduces the fire hazard. Investigation carried on at the UJS. Forest Products Laboratory in Madison, Wisconsin, indicates that the use of fire-retardent chemicals often does more harm than good, hence the use of water is recommended. <3) Be sure the tree is well supported and is away from fireplaces, radiators, television sets or other sources of heat. The tree should be placed so it will not block an exit in case of fire. (4) Lighted candles or other open flames should never be used on or about Christmas trees. (5) Check tree lights - Check electric lights and connections. Worn, frayed wires or electric cords must not be used. (6) Avoid use of combustible decorations and flammable reflectors for the colored lights. Metal foil "icicles" or tinsel must be kept out of bulb sockets. 0' "h (?) Avoid overloading the e- lectric circuits. Accumulations of wrapping paper and the placing of electrical toys under the tree should be avoided as fire hazards. (8) Potted or living. Christ- mas trees brought into the home are favoured by some who enjoy having the same tree as many years as it remains small enough to move in and out of doors. Ample provision should be made for watering such trees, especially when indoors. • • * * * The Irish place lighted candles in their windows on .

Tel. T.F.. Heenan, vice-president of operations for the telephone company> urged those planning Christmas calls to space them over a day or two prior to December 25th or within a day or two after the holiday rush. Heenan said Canadian telephone companies no longer take reservations for overseas long distance calls to be made at a specific time. "Additional circuits put into service over the past few years should help ease the load, however, there may still be some delays getting through," he said. He said a total of about 393,000 calls were handled by the company on Christmas Day last year-while another 81,000 calls were attempted but not completed. "But many of these were repeat trys on calls attempted earlier,'* he added. "We are suggesting this year that persons planning holiday calls actnowtoobtaintelephone numbers and area cod numbers thus cutting down on possible delays during the Yuletide rush hours," said Heenan. He also pointed out that many long distance calls cost less if they are dialed directly - and many -cost even less if they are placed after 6 p.m. weekdays or any time on a Sunday. Heenan noted that because Christmas Day foils on a Tuesday this year, the preceding weekend - December 22nd and 23rd — might be a good time for.subscribers to place some planned holiday calls. "This, would ease the pressure on the Vancouver toil centre," he explained, ''which ih addition to handling calls throughout the province also takes' care of calls to Pacific rim countries, such as Japan, Australia and .New Zealand- and calls to and from other parte of Canada. .

If you don't have time to shop for last- minute packaging, or if you just want to economize, try these boxes for size. Cylinder Santa is made from an oatmeal box or a coffee can - don't use a jagged-edge can! Tape on a covering of pink paper. Hair and beard are fringed white paper. Add a red construction paper cone hat and glue features in place. For men only, a super-size soap box can hold shirts or sweaters comfortably. Cut the top open end so that it forms a flap. Glue a light shade of wrapping paper to the box. Glue paper stripes down the front of the box (top open flap facing When the Christmas packaging itself is also a present, it's a two-in-one gift for the lucky recipient. Here's how: Pack jewelry with colored tissue paper or cellophane in a twisWop canning Jar. Package- homemade cookies and candies in decorative apothecary jars. you). The collar is cut to the width and depth of the top flap with two triangular collar points (see insert). The straight of the collar is glued over the flap while the points arc glued to the striped front. Glue two buttons on the collar. Cut the tie from gift wrap. The house package is made from a regular-size soap box. TWO-IN-ONE GIFTS Glue on pink wrapping paper. The roof is cut from a folded sheet of red constructionpaper that measures 2 inches wider than the box. Cut the sides on a slight angle (see insert). Draw a shingle design with a felt marker. Tape or glue roof and paper cutouts of windows, trees, doors, etc. to-ihe box. Cylinders, made from paper towel tubing, can hold scarves, handkerchiefs or beads. Fold, a large sheet of colored tissue paper in half, fold again in half several times along the length. Cut out shapes on the sides (see insert). Open the tissue, and place on a second sheet of uncut tissue; wrap around the tube; tie ends with ribbons. Let muffin tin substitute for a Christmas stocking by filling each compartment with a small wrapped gift. Use decorative baskets instead of boxes. Available in many sizes and shapes, they can hold a wide variety of gifts. Pack a present in a large gelatin mold. Cut a cardboard lid slightly larger than the mold's base; cover with foil. Tie cover to mold with ribbon. Fill a clay flower pot with jewelry or a scarf packed a- round a poinsettia. Brown tissue and a bow add the finishing touches. Don't forget Dad! Tool or fishing tackle boxes or fancy cigar tins are a few packaging ideas for the man of the house. SCI UC WRAPPINGS Break with gift wrap traditions and think fabric instead of paper and ribbons. Scrap fabric or felt can be turned into eye-catching wrappings that make gifts extra appealing. Make a zip envelope of felt or fabric to hold a gift. It can be used as a stocking bag or a suitcase organizer after the holidays. Two squares or rectangles of felt are first sewed to a zipper. (Checkfabric counters for inexpensive felt squares). Sew the remaining three sides together _ inch in. When using fabric, sew the sides together, right sides facing, then turn inside out. Cut free form holly leaves and berry shapes from felt and glue them to the bag in a circle. Add a red felt bow cutout. The pouches arefabric or felt bags sewed as above. Instead of a zipper, use a yarn tie, woven, through the top of the bag, 3 inches down from the top opening. Decorate with a felt Christmas tree and ornaments and felt gift boxes. Patchwork boxes make good use of all those small scraps of fabric a woman who sews can collect. Glue slightly overlapping'squares of fabric over the cover of the box. Calico bows are a touch of yesteryear that are simple to make. A fringed bow is made with several 1%-Inch strips of fringed fabric, tied at their centers with yarn. A plush bow is made with long lengths of fabric strips sewed together. Dont forget to wrap small boxes entirely in fabric.
