Santa, himself, had a bright red car to match his bright red suit and looked very fit, jolly and ready for the Season's hard work, This parade will be considered one of the best the village has seen. Or- " ganized by the Chamber of Commerce and the Port Perry Lions Club with Howard Challis and Grant Gerrow the Committee and Mr. Grant MacDonald, princpal of the High School as Par- ade Marshall. The Little Britain Band provided lively rching music, They brought some i jorettes with them and more came from the pupils of the schools here. - The first float was "Build the Community" by the Chamber of Com- merce with the merchant, the farmer, the teacher, Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, ete. represented. This was followe by the I.LO.D.E, with a colorful float of flags and bunting. The Walsh Electric Truck was decorated with co- lored streamers and carried a couple of clowns. Beare Motors Ltd. car- ried the snow Queen and her court and Silverwoods Dairy said "Take home your Holiday Special". Port Perry Junior Farmers followed with a nicely decorated car and the Pure Springs Beverages brought Santa's Toy Shop, (be right handy in case Santa had to make a few repairs). Morrow's Farm Equipment decorated a tractor for the occasion and Carne- gie Hardware reminded us that we are in "The Age of Automation". J. "J. Gibson and Son had "Poultry for } BR( & Christmas".. The fire truck followed which reminds us all to be very care- ful with our Christmas decorations and avoid fire.

There were also a number of 'Clowns cavorting in and out amongst the cars. Everyone of these floats represented much thought and labour but we would like to mention especially, the 1.0.D.E. float, the Snow Queen and her Court, Santa's Toy Shop, the Age of Auto-|- mation and the Old Woman who Lived in a Shoe. Santa stopped at the Memorial Ar- ena and handed out more than 1500 bags of candy to the kiddies. The youngsters also enjoyed a free show provided by Mr. R. Gibson of Lakeview Theatre.

The highlight of the banquet was a very interesting and inspiring address by Mr. Norman Moore, Director of Public Relations, Cockshutt Fagm jquipment Limited, Brantford. Mr. Mooré, a world traveller, took as his subject, "We Are A Fortunate Peo- ple". The main points that he brought out in his address were that we, as Canadians, are an extremely fortunate people in that we have, not only a beautiful couptry, but a country of tremendous natural resources. Mr. Moore also dealt briefly with the pro- blems in public relations that we might expect to experience as a young nation bwith many different races land re- ligions involved in our make-up.

District Churches SCUGOG PASTORAL CHARGE: We are approaching very rapidly one of the loveliest seasons of the year, Whether (we belong to the Church or nat, Christmas casts a spell over all of us, However, we stiffle our generous impulses, they begin to rise; and by the time the 25th has arrived, those good impulses will be overflow- ing in our lives. We are all happy when the impulse to worship is shared by so many, and no doubt, we all find it easier to worship at Christmas. The love of a child draws us, and we take the little one to our hearts, The minister's theme on Sunday was "The Drama of God's encounter with Man." God created man, not that man should love Him; that he might have beings to love. God is a lover, and must have beings on wha to lavish His love. Sometimes he knocks at our hearts, bringing us the wonderful Gift of His Loving Spirit; but we are afraid to open, because we are sure that He has to collect the rent. We are planning to give the children a large place in our Service on the 23rd. The Junior and Senior choirs will sing; and the Minister will tel] the Christmas Story by "flannelgraph." There will be the Sacrament of Bapt- ism, and the Service will close with a very simple; but effective Christmas Pageant. We might have to commence at "Grace" at 10 a.m, instead of 1015. Be sure to be with us at Scugog, Man- chester and Prospect. Last week "Head Memorial" W. A and Manchester W.A. met, and elected their officers for the New Year. At the "Head" the Vice-President Myrtle Manns became the President; and Clara Dowson became Vice-President. By the way, at the "Head", they call a spade a spade, and everyone Is call- ed by their first names. - The officers are elected for two years; but Clara found it necessary to step down) be- cause of doctors orders. At Manchester, the following were elected: President, Mrs. Cawker; Vice- President, Mrs Lucille Gray; Secre- tary, Mrs. Fielding; and Treasurer, Mrs. Fred Lamb. Prospect did not hold their meeting last Thursday as announced; but will do so this evening Monday) at Tot Holtby's This woining Wednesday "Grace Church Shureh" will hold theiy election in the "hurch. We hope vir there will be a good attendance these meetings. Church On Tuesday the Minister will meet with all who are interested in forming a choir for Manchester Church. The Junior Choir of "Grace" is asked to meet that afternoon in the Church. On Thursday evening at 8.30 p,m. the Elders on the Island are asked to meet at the Manse. ~The New Church Roll for Scugog United Church will have to be established, and passed by the Elders, and we hope that there will be a full attendance. The Church will be heated, and the Choir will meet there. The Public School at the "Foot" of the Island will hold their Christmas Concert in "Grace Church" on Friday evening this week. Then next week we shall have the following Concerts: Tuesday the "Head" School on the Is- land; Thursday the Manchester School and Friday the Prospect School. Our congratulations to Mr. W. D Munro of Manchester on reaching his 88th birthday last Sunday; and to the Thomas Redmans who celebrate their 38th wedding anniversary this Friday. Our love and prayers go out to all who are shut-in. You are not shut away May His love be with you. We extend to all our people a cordial invitation to come and worship with us fon Sunday. Pentecostal W.M.C. The regular meeting of the W.M.C. was held on Thursday afternoon, Dec, G6, with Mom Whyte as the guest speaker. Mrs, R. Kemp our Missionary Con- vener opened our service with lively hymns. Mrs. F. J. Raines read the Scripture Isaiah 5:6; and a very lovely duet was sung. The meeting was then turned over to Mom Whyte who had five girls of eighty some children with her. The girls sang a few choruses, a film of her trip to New York, and new children's home was shown us, She brought a very interesting talk on how God is blessing spiritually, physically, financially and materially. She certainly made us feel our great lack of service for our Master, Our pastor's wife closed in prayer and we all left feeling it was good to have been in the house of the Lord. "Thank you Mrs, "Mom" Whyte, Dr.M.B.D ymond._ Installed lo At the meeting of Fidelity Lodge, AF. & AM. on Tuesday evening, Dr. M. D. Dymond was installed as Master for the ensuing year. Bro. L. D.

G.M.'s, Hilliop Herald Good evening! this is the P.P.H.S. tuning in for the evening news. A brief summary of the leading events in our weekly news are as follows: Teachers on the Hilltop are really giving the students a rough time. Students retaliate in force. Teachers won't give up. Students surrender. z Now for the sickening entrails, opps! (excuse me) détails. Many students could be heard exclaiming the following: Did you pass in Math? Wow! were science and history ever lulu's. Eng- lish and French really gave the dic- tionary a jerk this year. The Com- mercial sure put a stopper on the old brain, but let's not forget Home Ee. where one can lose fifty marks for forgetting to wipe off the eggs before cracking them. The Shop papers looked more like Latin. At the latter remarks teachers snicked in corners. much to the dis- may of students who revolted' by de- manding higher marks but, teachors stood their ground and students sur- rendered to the ruling hand. Oh well! so goes the news of a turbulent world. Now that the exams are over we can all look forward to a glorious ten days when there will be nothing on our minds but the Easter Exams, buf we shall never tire for we are the studeous students of Port Perry High.

Wedding CLEMENTS - SOMERVILLE The marriage of Isabel Mary Patsy Clements, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ilwood Clements, and William Lloyd Somerville, son of Mr. and Mrs, Wil- linm Somerville, all of Greenbank. was solemnized recently at the bride's parent's home in Greenbank with the Rev. R. Chapin officiating. The bride who was given in marri- age by her father, wore a cocktail- length strapless dress of white bridal brocade topped with a long-sleeved jacket. A beaded tiara held her shoulder-length veil of tulle illustion and she carried a cascade of white pom-pon chrysanthemums and peach tea roses. The bride was attended by her two sisters, Miss Joyce Clements as maid- of honour and "Miss Linda Clements as bridesmaid. Both were gowned in cornflower blue veleteen, styled on princess lines with boat necklines and full skirts. They wore white feathered headdresses and carried cascades of white shasta daisies. "Mr. John Somerville was best man, Ushering were Mr, Glenn Somerville and Mr. Pat Hayes. A reception was held in the Scout Hall at Port Perry. To receive, the bride's mother chose navy blue with white and navy accessories. The bridegroom' 3 mother assisting was in champaigne-tone with avoeade green accessories. Both wore corsages of roses, ' Later the couple left for a wedding trip to Rochester, N.Y. For travel- ling the bride wore a black sheath dress topped with a persian lamb jack- et and black and white accessories, red sweetheart roses comprised her corsage, Mr, and Mrs. Somerville will live in Brooklin, Ontario, Guests were present from- Oshawa, Toronto, Clarkson, Hespeler, Whithy, Bowmanville, Uxbridge, Cameron, Lindsay. Woodville, Pefferlaw, Sun- derland, Sonya, Blackstock, Green- band and Port Perry, Clipped Comments FUTURE OF FARMING UNDER DISCUSSION During the early part of this week, discussions took place in Ottawa which may have far reaching effects on many farmers in this area. It was the an- nual federal-provincial conference at- tended by provincial ministers of agri- culture from every province, their de- puties and departmental officials, as well as representatives from several farm organizations across Canada. The federal minister of agriculture undoubtedly took part in the discus- sions which were designed to indicate to farmers the trends for the coming year No policies will be laid down, but from the report which will be is- sued within a few weeks of the close of the conference, farmers across the nation will have to make up their minds as to the immediate future of particular erops, Advance forecasts give great pro- mise of a better year in 1957 for farm- crs generally, although there are still some weak spots such as wheat. * The outlook for most farm products shows prices to be on the rise which means more money in farmers' pocketbooks, something that should be more than welcome. Some new developments undoubted- ly were discussed, such as the pro- blems of sub-marginal farm lands which the Prime Minister said recent- ly should go back to forests and conservation uses and farmers re- settled in more rewarding surround- ings. There also have been reports that the government may be contem- plating extending Prairie Farm Re- habilitation to other parts of Canada, a move which has long been advocated by many farm leaders and groups, This, is the 18th year such a confer- ence has been held avithout a great deal of fanfare or publicity. The fact that they have been continued is the best indication that they have provid- ed a valuable farmers' parliament. We certainly hope that this year there will be worthwhile forecasts for the farm- ing community to 'put them more im line with the balance of Canada's fast expanding ¢conomy. --Canadian Statesman TT i © THE BRITISH ALSO NEED OUR HELP In a most timely editorial, The Pet- Fxaminer suggests that Canada should not only help under- take to help refugee Hungarians with open hearts and reasonable speed, it should also consider what can be done to help the people of the United King- dom who also suffered from the ex- plosive events of the past month, Rev. I'red J. Reed of Hampton in a letter to the editor recently suggested much the same thing, =~ erborough The Examiner says: "It seems to us that ('anada, senior dominion in the British Commonwealth and with vast il resources, should not stand idly by and see what the Americans are will- ing to do to relieve the shortage in Britain, "Admittedly, American oil com- panies control western Canadian oil. But the Ottawa Government should step in because of Canadian sympathy with Britain, the hardest hit victim of the Suez affair. It should orddin that adequate amounts of Canadian oil-- or its equivalent --go to the U.K. The wells in Alberta are being kept below- peak production; so are Canadian re- fineries. Has the Canadian Govern- ment ordered full production in this emergency ? Or is it content to let the U.S. companies do only as they see fit ? opinion in some official and journal- istic American circles that if Britain can be kept on the short end of the horn, it will serve her right. Canada should not take this view or allow it to be enforced. - It should ensure that Britain gets as much petroleum as possible, as soon as possible." We might add that Rev. Reed and many others would not only agree with this view, but would extend it to uggrest that Canadians might do well to consider travel restrictions in order that the oil and gas saved might be shipped to the United Kingdom. ~Canadian Statesman acht Club New Years Dance, Mon., Dec 31, Tickets $6.50 per couple -- on sale at 9 Lawrence's and Bruton's Drugsiores It is apparent from the trend of~ -
