How- ever it is stili worth your while to read the article as it prob- ably contaîns information which you didn't know about and in- nocence or ignorance doesn't keep you out of goal-G.W.J. 0f late "Do It Yourself"' is becoming popular with the handyman, but in the Christ- mas tree field it has been a tradition for years.

"Do It Youseli" in securing a Christmas tmee pro- vided an objective for a tramp in the woods,. as well as the satisfaction af selecting a tree which best suits your own me- q uirements. With the exodus from the farm ta the city, the possibility af cutting yaur own tmee, free ai charge, is diminishing; but the urge ta do it yourself is in- creasing. The net result is that fammers lose many trees ta "ýcasual" Christmas tree cut- ters., Tmees are just as much a pmoduct ai the land and the farm enterprise, as potatoes or fat steers. The city dweller would neyer think ai taking either of these pmaducts with- out permission, but tradition is used as an excuse for taking a tmee. Persans appehended in the process af cutting trees without permission are liable ta be charged under the Iaws ai the land, or if they should encoun- ter a lenient land owner he Fr!e BLACK DIAMOND STAMPS with every purchase of gas at Vigor Oil SERVICE STATION CORNER 0F MANVERS ROAU, AND FIFTH CONCESSION Phone MA 3-29Y19 Vigor 9 AL Standard 1O euiG A Gasoline 39 Vigor Super A19 AL High Test lOc ncluding ta: Complete Lubrication- at a Reasonable Price SSTOVI OIL AVAILABLE IN ANY QUANTITY OP N EVENINGS AND SUNDAYS may only demand a very «Itif"' prîce.

St. Joseph's Party Enjoyed By Ail Present St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church annual Christmas Party on Sunday af last week in the Union Hall was by far the big- gest and one ai the best ever enjayed by the parishioners. The hall was attractively de- carated for the occasion with seasonal trîmmings. A huge Christmas tree glittering with onaments and tinsel was a centre ai attention. Rev. F. K. Malane welcom- ed the guests ta the very de- lightful prograni which înclud- ed carol singing and a visit from Santa Claus. Lloyd Quintan ably played the part ai Santa and gave bags ai fruit and candy ta the 5 ch;ldren who attended the: par- ty. Miss Mary Fagan and Wil-, fred LaBine were pianists fori the program. Arrangements for, the Party were made by Roy Secard and his committee ai George Chard, Wilfmed McLean, Martin Malloy. Wilfred LaBine, Frank Woolner and Glenholmne Hughes. Convict Cowle As limpaired in '56 Crash William Cowle, 26, af Bow- manville, was convicted afi m- paired driving, and remanded out af custody for twa weeks last week by magistrate R. B.
