THE PASTOR'S CHRISTMAS MESSAGE Dear Friends: You will receive many greetings this Christmas sea- son, but none will be more sincere than this message from your Pasto,-. You may receive many gifts, none will be equal to the one I crave for you. I long that you may find] "Christmas of the Heart." These are busy and confusing days. Christ- mas has been organized and commer- cialized. It is easy for one to for- get that it is the birthday of the Chrfet. Yet those who find "Christ- mas of the Heart" will hear singing angels and catch a reflection of Beth- lehem's tar. A beautiful mystical experience will be theirs. They will know that God lives. Will you ac- cept my invitation for this joy? It it yours for the asking. There is room for you near the manger. You can join those paying homage to the Babe and find "Christmas of the Heart." Sincerely yours, G. L. MERCER Note: Next Sunday, Dec. 21st, will be Christmas Sunday. This special day will be observed at all appoint- ments. Your minister will bring an appropriate message to each congre- gation. The choirs will lead the singing of Christmas hymns and carols, and a hearty invitation is ex- tended to the public to share these Christmas services of worship. . EUGENIA Rev. G. K. McMillan, pastor of the Flesherton United Church, preached in the church here Sunday morning, delivering a very impressive sermon on missions, taking his text from Matt. 16: 18 "that thou art Peter, and upon this rock will I build my church," etc. He stressed deeply the importance of missions and told of the missionary work the United Church is doing. The Woman's Association will hold their annual meeting Thursday p.m. in the church basement. The roll call will be answered by each donat- ing 15 cents to the blanket fund fot Britain. Election of officers for 1942 will take place. The Y.P.U. met at the home of Mrs. JJ. Cairns, the president, on Sunday evening. After the usual devotional exercises, the president road the story "The Christmas Message." Readings were given by Dorothy Falconer, Mrs. Cairns and Mrs. Martin. It was decided that the Y.P.U. decorate the church for Sunday, Dec. 21, for the Christmas service. Mr. Ben Shortt was home from To- ronto over the week end. Sgt. W. Welton and Mrs. Welton visited with the latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Campbell, on Sunday. Several from this community at- tended the High School Commence- ment at Flesherton on Friday even- ing and report a fine program. Our sympathy is extended to Mr. Oeo. Mitchell and family of Flesh- erton in the sad bereavement of the death of Mrs. Mitchell, and to Mr. and Mrs. Victor McKenzie, 12th line, in the loss of their little daughter, Norm a Margaret. We are sorry to report Mr. Fred Jamieson not enjoying very gfeod health. 'We wish for him a speedy and complete recovery. Mr. Geo. Stewart is the mail car- rier on R. R. 1, Eugenia, during Mr. Shortt's absence. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH FBVER8HAM Rer. R. Forb8 Thomson, B.A. Minister Evening Service at 7.30 VICTORIA CORNERS The pupils of No. 4 are not having a school concert this year, as they held a successful bazaar instead. Snow is coming this Monday mom- ing, looking as though a real Christmas is in store for us. Mr. Kelly, our student minister, gave us a sterling sermon on Sunday on what Christianity really means to as. He would like as many as possible out for the Christmas serv- ice next Sunday. Thursday of last week the W. A. met at the home of Elwyn Ferris for their annual meeting and election of officers. Our financial standing was possibly not as much as some years as thre were so many other financial drains on us, yet we were able to help the church management, so that they are settled up also. The new officers elected were: Pres., Mrs. Russell Patterson; Vice-Pres., Mrs. Copeland; Treasurer, Mrs. 0. Patterson; Fin, Sec., Mrs. Chas. Moore; Corr. Sec., Mrs. Elmo Stev- FLESIIEIITON AND ROCK MILLS B ' PTIST CHURCHES Frank B.

It has been a real winter over the week end. Sunday was wild and roads are pretty well blocked for cars just now. Rev. G. K. McMiHan of Flesher- ton exchanged pulpits with Dr. Mer- cer on Sunday. We are sorry to say that owing to the storm there were very fey out at Mt. Zion to hear his splendid talk on missions. It was a great disappointment to learn on Monday last that our sol- dier boys' leave had cancelled. It is not known whether or not the boys will get home for Christmas. The West Group of the Red Cross met at the home of Mrs. A. Menzies and completed another quilt last Thursday. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Osborne on Tuesday after Christmas. The W. A. of Mt. Zion met at the home of Mrs. Fred Plantt on Tues- day last, when there was a good at- tendance and all officers were re- turned to office.

She was never reported by the Nazis as having been sunk. An airplane is reported to have crashed on a farm. The farmer found the pilot was only slightly in- jured, and the first question he asked was: "Can you milk a cow?" V TO THE WOMEN OF CANADA Here is One Big War Job which You Alone Can Do "Ceiling Prices" Must Be Maintained This is an appeal to the women of Canada. There is one vital part of our war effort which depends on you. Your government has placed a "ceiling" on retail prices. You arc the buyers of four out of every five dollars worth of all the goods sold in this country. Your whole-hearted help is needed in this price control plan. If every woman does her part, it cannot fail. Its success will be a big step on the road to victory. Its failure would be a serious blow to our war effort. You can tip the balance towards success. Will you, then, undertake to make the successful control of commodity prices an established fact? We know you will. And we know that when you undertake this task it is as good as done. This is the work you are asked to do i. Make a list of comnuHlitieti We want you to sit down today and make a list of the things you buy from week to week and from month to month. Write down food and clothing items in particular, because these account for the biggest share of your expenditures. But we want you to list those articles you buy at the drug store, hardware store, and other stores, too. 2. Makr iioten about quality Now go over your list again and mark down the necessary details about quality, type, grade and size. Then when making future purchases you will be able to compare values as "well as prices. 3. Write down prices After each item we want you to write down, if you can, the highest price charged at your store during the period September 15 to October 1 1, 1941 . If you cannot remember the prices charged during that period, fill in your list with today s prices. Our survey shows that retailers, with few exceptions, ate keeping prices well within the "ceiling" levels. As exceptions are being discovered they are being quickly brought into line. 4. Keep this list use it when you buy! Make up this price list neatly and accurately. You will not be able to get all the items at once. Keep adding to your list from day to day. Make it your permanent check list your personal safeguard against any further rise in prices. Price* May be Different in Different Stores There has always been a difference in prices in different storeseven stores in the same locality. This may depend on the kind of service the store gives, or the way it oper- ates. Some stores, for instance, have delivery service, give credit, or provide other extra services. Under the new Price Ceiling Order there will still be differences in prices at different stores. The new price regulations will not do away with competition. The high- est prices in any particular store must not be higher than the highest prices in force in that store during the period September 15 to October 11. They may be a little lower or a little higher than the prices in other stores. The prices you will mark down will be the highest prices charged at the store where you shop. A Few Points to Remember 1. The ceiling price is not necessarily the price you paid. It is the highest price at which the store sold the particular item between September 15 and October 11. 2. A merchant may reduce his prices for sales or other reasons he may also raise them provided they do not go above the ceiling price. 3. Variations in seasonal prices on fresh fruits and vegetables are permitted. Rulings on seasonal markets will be announced from time to time by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board in newspapers and over the radio. 4. Fill out your price list without bothering your mer- chant. In many cases he is making a financial sacrifice to sell under the price ceiling. The war has left him short- staffed and the Christmas rush is on. r Items most frequently bought This is not intended as a complete list. It is simply offered as a guide. Add to it the other items you buy or expect to buy. Prive Item (Si . Quality, etc.) Store Price 1 Item POOH Description Site. Quality, etc.) Store- Milk Butter. Eggs Sugar... Description Item ;Si/< .

Hats, Gloves Why you must do your part To ensure the succeii of this price control plan, every woman in Canada should make a list. Retailers are showing a splendid spirit of co-operation. The great majority of them are determined to make this plan work, but if you do not co- operate the whole plan might fail prices might start to skyrocket. So keep your list handy. Check the prices you pay against it. If a price seems higher than the ceiling, ask your merchant about it. If further information is necessary, report the full details in writing. Address your letter to the Prices and Supply Representative, Wartime Prices and Trade Board at any of the following: Vancouver, Edmonton, Regina, Winnipeg, North Bay, London, Toronto, rockville, Montreal, Quebec City, Saint John, Halifax, Charlottctown.
