Rural Canadians, in particular, still retain that blessed affinity with nature which the city people may have lost or forgotten, and I am hoping the rural folks will be most generous in their response. Should I receive enough replies I will then, through the assistance of the Explorations Program of the Canada Council, put all information in a book and make it available to Canadians. To illustrate the sort of things I am looking for: on the Canadian Plains many people believe that precipitation will follow ninety days after a fog. Others believe that the length of a hog's "weather vane" (part of the pancreas?) at butchering time indicates the severity of the approaching winter. To forecast the moisture prospects for the next year, slice a large onion in two halfs and the twelve inner rings will show the moisture content of the year to come. The tremendous advances in modern, scientific weather study are threatening to overwhelm the homespun methods used by generations of Canadians; methods used long before the development of "high tech" weather forecasting. forecasting. In addition, the gradual passing of our senior citizens, the people most familiar with folk weather lore, will contribute contribute to the loss of this important important facet of Canadiana. With ' the help of the people we can prevent any further loss. Sincerely, R M Himsl 248 Grandview St. W. Moose Jaw, Sask. S6H 5K7 The runner-up team in the Atom A division was J and J Sharpening.

Wesley ville and District E. Barrowclough Church service at Welcome on the morning of December 28th was well attended considering it was the Sunday after three Christmas specials and a Sunday school concert when churches were filled on all these occasions. For this Sunday the lay reader was Stephen McHolm. During the children's time, they, and the rest of the congregation repeated the verses from John chapter one, memorized for several Sundays, and repeated as well verses from the same chapter used in the call to worship. The sermon was based on the words, "Down to Earth Angels". As children we had no difficulty accepting the story of the shepherds and the heavenly host but as we grow older and think we are wiser, we try to "explain". The mystery of life in the universe is still just that, a mystery, in spite of so much scientific knowledge. Many people in the course of their: lives have experienced events; they cannot explain. Rev. Sedgwick's message told of several '" of these occurrences, which served to recall and strengthen our faith in the angels we are told watch over us. The choir's anthem was the lovely "Echo Carol" sung unaccompanined, MIDWAY MOTORS 1300 Dundas St. E„ Whitby 668-6828 j DURHAM REGION'S No. 1 IMPORT TRUCK DEALER !

The Christmas Eve service for the Hope charge was held at Canton church with a fine representation from all three churches. That large church was well filled and church and Sunday school members from each of the churches shared in the service. It was well done by all. It was a delightful ëxperience for those taking part, hard work for those preparing it and happy memories for those who shared in similar parts many years ago. Numbers were played by the Sunday school and others, like professionals and done with joy. Some from Welcome taking part were Barbara Croft and Glenda Ough;'Nicole 1 " Ought Annette, Jeanette and Juliette Woodruff, Elizabeth Groeneveld and others. The Welcome Sunday school concert was held; on Monday evening, December 22nd. For the first time it was held in the body of the church for players were handicapped in the limited space in the Sunday school. It was a great improvement and provided a much better stage to perform all the programme prepared. It was excellent from beginning to end, giving experience to the juniors and pleasure to all who watched. Santa Claus arrived on time to bring good wishes and distribute the bounty around the tree. In conclusion the church's happy pair of baby twins sat on Santa's knees for a picture. Most families of the former Wesleyville community spent either Christmas day, or one near it, with other members of their families.

Connie Barrowclough, home from school in Montreal with parents Bill and Carole and brother David of Peterborough, spent the day at the old homestead with Harold Barrowclough. There seems to be plenty of flu around the countryside with ' many • children absent from school for the last days of the year. Harold Barrowclough has been in Port Hope hospital for several " days following a sudden illness in the very early hours of last Friday. He is much improved and will be home as soon as the exact nature of his illness is diagnosed. This very open winter allows birds to continue foraging on their own but a flock of 7 or 8 bluejays arrived at one feeder where corn had been provided and proceeded, not to eat it there, but carry it away, possibly for a frozen rainy day. Later the same day two cardinals arrived to brighten the scene. Homeowners insurance discounts from State Farm.
