Would you like to celebrate a perfect Christ. mas? What do you think makes a perfect Christmas ? Is it good old St. Nick( gifts, parties, turkey din- ner, the whole family at home, or, if you happen to be in business, an in- crease in receipts?) No doubt some or all of these things would add a great deal to the perfection of your Christmas depending on what your interests are. I hope you will be blessed with the above and like gifts "this Christmas, But' a perfect Christmas does not depend entirely on these things. The three wise men, who followed the star in the East until it came and rested over the place where the Christ child was, had the formula for a per- fect Christmas. "When. they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding 4 great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell 'down, and worshipped him: and when | they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and | frankincense, and myrrh, ' And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they de- parted into their own country an- other way" {Matt. 2:10-12). ' The wise men rejoiced. Here is something which we: all like to do. We like to rejoice and Christmas seems like a good time to do it. 'But what do you make the basis of your rejoleing? Do you rejoice about the gifts you receive, the fellowship you | child. Christmas is a time when we -| and so on, | They presented. unto the Christ child [School in Port Perry. - "I'in the Sunday School and Women's have with your family, the increased sales? I am sure you do and rightly $0. Such blessings call for rejoicing. But the wise men rejoiced for a very special reason, They rejoiced because they saw the Christ child, the one whom God sent to be "King of Kings and Lord of Lords". They rejoiced at the coming of Him who is Saviour --the wise men's Saviour, your Savi- _| our, my Saviour, _ ates The wise men worshipped. They fell down and worshipped the Christ worship. We can fall into the trap of worshipping things--gifts, business Creaturely things can be- come the focus of our attention and usurp the place of God. But why should we worship creaturely things when we can worship the Creator? The wise men worshipped the Creator. Will this Christmas find you in God's house offering a fitting worship unto Him? 2 The wise men made an offering. gifts; "gold, and frankincense and myrrh", But you cannot separate a man's treasures from himself. Wher- ever a man's treasures are 'there will his heart be also". In present- ing their treasures the wise men were offering themselves. This is the only acceptable gift to God. God is not so_much concerned--about the -gifts- of money or other-things that you can give 'as He is about you. The first. concern of God is that you offer your- self. When "you offer--yourself- you will be offering your gifts too. The wise men went home by a dif- ferent road. Allow your imagination to work here. The wise men had a reason. for returning home another way. Their reason was, that harm should not come to the Christ child at the hands of Herod. Remembering | that Christ is hurt when you walk the road of sin, could it be that you too should walk a different road? Could it be that in your manner of living you have been disobedient to God and His will for you? Then turn and walk the road of obedience. For a perfect Christmas--rejoice at the coming of the Saviour of the World, come to Church and worship Him, make an'offering of yourself to Him and determine, trusting in His grace, to walk the road of His obe- dience, Obituary ~ MRS.

The shipment consists of 81 head of prue bred Holsteins for breeding purposes, all between the ages of 12 months and 2° years, from Canada Packers Shur-Gain Farm, at Maple, 'Ontario.

Constable Don Williams was at the scene in a about 4 minutes and ap- prehended five suspects, single hand- ed. Chief Cameron arrived a few minutes later and the suspects were taken to the police station for ques- tioning. After a lengthy interview and a conference with the Crown Attorney 4 charges were laid against two of the suspects: Keith Howard, 21 years, of 242 Conant St., Oshawa; Wayne Joseph, 16 years, of 787 Gordon St., Oshawa were the two who were charged under the Criminal' Code. Two girls who were with them were | ¥=N released without charges upon the ad- vice of the Crown Attorney, as was another youth. Police Constable Don Williams has been highly comended for his hand- ling of the incident. The carload of young people had gained entrance to both service ssa- tions by breaking the glass. At Reesor's they apparently were looking for gas as they turned on the flood lights in their attempt to find the switch that turned on the pumps. A quantity of cigarettes and other small items had beer taken from Tripp's garage and were found strewn along the road side where they had been tossed out of the car in the attempt to escape the police. Report From Parliament By Michael Starr, M.P,, Minister of Labour Bill C-49, known as the Technical --and--Veeational--Fraining-- Assistance Act, and introduced this week by the Minister of Labour, has received first reading. . The Bill is designed to stimulate the development of -technical and vo- cational training programs in Canada and to broaden their scope. The Bill supports the Federal Gov- ernment's program to increase em- ployment and to foster national de- velopment. The Bill will extend training to the rapidly growing areas of unemploy- ment, in the service occupations and technological occupations below uni- versity level. One of-the most urgent problems in the field of technical and vocational training is the need for additional training facilities. Recent estimates indicate that there should be a fifty percent expansion of the training fa- cilities. ' Without being limited by a quota allotment, a new feature of Bill C-4y authorizes a contribution of 756% of |- provincial capital costs of technical and vocational training facilities, both for buildings and "equipment up to March 31, 1963, and 509 of such costs after that date. 76% of the costs of training un- employed persons will be continued under the Bill. Another new feature of the Bill authorizes a 650% contribution to- wards costs incurred by the provinces in _providing the training programs which are carried on in trade or vo- cational - schools or institutes--tech- nical institutes or institutes of tech- nology. The success of any vocational or technical training programs depends upon a supply of qualified instruc- tors. In order to carry out this expanded program a new item makes provision for contributing 60% of the provin- cial costs of training technical and vocational teachers, supervisois and 'administrative personnel. --- The Bill continues assistance to stu- dents, provides for members of the "Armed Forces, as "well as forthe] '| training requested by any other de- partment or agency of the Federal Government. "In these latter cases authority is provided for federal payments up to 100% of the costs of training. The Bill provides for the establish- ment of the National Technical and Vocational Training Advisory Council to consist of 23 members, with one member to be appointed as Chairman. The membership will be made up of an equal number of employers and employees, along with representatives of provincial governments and other bodies or groups interested in voca- tiomal training. The Bill, therefore, carries forward the provisions of the present Act with relation to the National Technical and Vocational Training Advisory Council, but with a psn iersip of 23 instead of 21. In the Mater of research work, provision is made for carrying on a research program of wider scope in connection with the training programs and the development of standards on a national basis. It also provides for research for developing information about the ehanging needs for trained workers. At the present time the House is proceeding with second reading of the Bill and a thorough discussion by all parties is anticipated.
