I watch this stated tl show every year, in fact to me it~ usinge wouldn't be Christmas if I missed rememIb4 it. 0f course, being an ex-Londoner paying t mysef, I, must admit that, year foi conditions in that city, had changed deliverir considerably in my time, but hil i!!! always brings-back a feeling of As yo nostalgia. HôWever, the thought Britain, still intrigues me, why did Dickens but unf{ calI it a "Carol"? ".privileg Webster's Dictionary defines a bis entoi carol as a "song of joy" or a the last "Ballad", but the story includes long sufJ very little happiness, except for the just anoi final ending which does touch on may po! this theme slightly.- once anc However, times and lifestyles being a change continually, and if Dickens little alte had been alive today, he possibly You would neyer have written that miserabl story, in quite that way, and the Have world of literature would be that your pro; much poorer! Some of you -may have read my Cold Wea ther Beauty Car 1e by Britt and Margareta Style & Image Consulting Winter weather can take ils tol on your hair, skin and body. Here are somne tips to help you stay your best! ALWAYS wear a protective moisturizer on your face. If you've been using alcohol-based skin tonics and astringents, switch to non-alcoholic ones - like Seasons Clarifying Toner or Clarifying Astringent. Wear sunglasses to preèvent squinting. D&o flot go without a foundation base or powder at this time of year. A foundation base is added protection against the elements. And Seasons colour-coded foundation contains PARA sunscreen- -a real face saver! A humidifier is an essential winter accessory - particularly in the bedroom. If your eyes tend to tear because of cold winds, you'll want to be sure to wear water-resistant mascara, and powder eye shadows. Lips need extra protection t00, as they have fewer oul glands tdm the rest of the face. Always wear a creamny lipstick which contans a moisturizer and sunscreen, like Seasons colour-coded lipsticks. Avoid placing your hands in water as much as possible. iVear rubber gloves when doing household chores. When rinsing your hands, use warma or cool waer instead of hot. Moisturize your hands immediately afterward. Don't forget the extra attention your body requires in winter. When bathing, put bath oil in your tub water and avoid oul stripping agents. Don't stay in the tub too long and always moisture following your bath or shower. Fluid, intake is especially important during the winter. Drink 8 glasses of water daily.

Just George pounds don't mean extra warmth. In fact ail they're doing is preventing body heat from reaching the extremities. Body warmth is based on efficient blood circulation which is stimulated by exercise. And with a good strong blood flow, theskin's ability to defend itself against the cold is strengthened. Letter to- Editor Dear Mystery Writer (it's no mystery!) In regard to your excellent article on the Presbyterians in last week'spaper, may 1 comment on two lines. You state that the three farms of Thomas Waddell were called May Fields, Barblues, and Orchardale, and that the cemetery was located on Barblues. The cemetery was located on MARYFIELD farm. Tremaine's Map of 1861 incorrectly spelis the name of the Waddell homestead farm as May Fields, on Lot 21, Concession 5. As early as 1843, Thomas Waddell wrote ini his own handwriting "MARYFIELD". Perhaps hie nained the farm after bis wife Mary; I'd like to think so. "MARYFIELD" also appears on Mary's death notice although it is spelled Maryfield. If a Waddell descendant were to visit a certain church in Lanarkshire, Scotland, hie or she could read a memorial which reads in part, "Erected by Thomas Waddell of Maryfield, Upper Canada in Memnory of bis father John Waddell . ' Keep the articles coming. Signed H P.S. - Perhaps someone might be interested in learning that somne of the information in your article came from a source recently donated to Clarke Museum and Archives. It was a large minute book which covers the history of one branch of Presbyterians in Clarke called successively: 1) Associate Synod of the Secession Church of Scotland or United Secession Churciý4 1837;, 2) United Presbyterian Chuach, 1847; Canada Presbyterian Church, 1861. The other Presbyterian group in Clarke, the Church of Scotland or "Old Kirk", merged with the 'Canada- Presbyterians in 1875. That first recorded meeting of the United Secession Church was held on January 3l1st, 1837 in David Ley's schoolhouse,. Has anyone ever heard of the location of this school? 0e.
