DECEMBER 2 1 st, 1939 No. 36 A Beru JBcrru ffihrfstmaB to All CHRISTMAS " Another Christmas and another war! Year by year nu-,)titrh the long passage of the centuries the angel song ot -IV CO good will toward men" has floated down like a benni- .oM iinon a world which has consistently refused it. There his never been peace land^mod will upon earth nor oan there while greedy and evil men'live to prey upon their more oacoful neighbors. Because, whether it be the waf of busi- iv.i 01- Dolitics or of actual physical conflict, it is still war iR'gotleii of the same spirit of, murder, and often the first two [iro the worst ..and most ruthless. _ , In this year of grace we .keep Christmas with arm s in our hands under a sky purple with approaching hurricane. ..The, F'lther of all Sin has sent,upon the earth an evil spirit denying, ih(! newer of God and the rights of man. And once more there k-a crusade to be fought, if freedom and ordinary decency in human relations are not to perish from among the nations. But,-however dark the prospect, it will help u s'to do our . part in4he coming struggle, if we turn aside for a few mom-, cuts to worship before the draidld^of the Christ Child; to visu- '•di/.c the wise men journeying through the desert under the guidance of a blazing star, the humble shepherds and the choirs of angels, the- deep eastern night and the poor mn a t Bethlehem. Let us be joyful and become children again for a day. For the times are perilous, and some of us mayhap will not be here to keep another Christmas.

There has been^a whispering canipaign of innuendo and abuse^which with short intervals.of quietude has^assailed the Reeve and his Council throughout-the year. I t is to be hoped that this will now, cease, because its continuance m ust inevitably result in the long run in nien. of high calibre, refus ing to offer themselves here for public office. K. A. Ray and J. Richardson were the subcesstul candi- dates foP' the two vacancies in the Council, while School Trustees Mrs. A. M. O'Donnell and G. E. Brealey were re elected to the Board with H. N.
