are broken because part of the family must be on guard in faroff lands it is a bit diffi cult to have the merry christmas that should be war is directly opposite to the spirit of a merry christmas and yet if we lose sight of christmas and all it stands for we lose that for which we fight we know that there will be a note of sadness for the missing ones at many a christmas table that feeling will be doubly so when during the year loved ones have been reported lost but we know too that those absent ones in their christmas mes sages say chins up and well soon be home they left homts in the spirit that you needed their pro- tetriorn they- arewilling tosacrif ice thatyoumay keep christmas and live in a land where the spirit of christmas may abound not only at tha christmas- tide but spread throughout the whole year thy ttiin jirvp i far fields want the christmas of those who are left at home to be merry those who are fortunate enough to have home ties uiu broken at this christmas tide may couple with their merry christmas the wish that another chrstmas will see a reunion of these broken homes and in this spirit wc wish all a merry christmas and the far greater wish that before another christ mas rolls around there will be cause for nil to have a merrier one v the answers are given an advertisement in last weeks fkef press lolj housewives how they could maintain prices and as sist in stopping inflation the machinery is in op eration and the successful operation of that machin ery depends on the buyers themselves but remem ber 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 oc tober llth dont guesst at the prices you paid- be sure of the items before you make a complaint about the price the merchant is just as anxious to obey the law in most cases as you arc we doubt very much if any instances will be found where a higher price is asked in the advertisement last week you were asked to make a list of mostpurchased articles and the price paid at the store at which you t thi wjl tend to eliminate guess work and tl coaaamx8ale that community aale last week did just a little more than raise a substantial fund for red cross and acton and vicinity war service league it proved an opportunity for townsfolk and those of the farming section adjacent to work together it brought the community closer together it showed townsfolk that farmers have a real amount of pro duce and they are willing to give freely of that plenty but there are limitations to the purchasing power of wage earners too but it was that communityspirit that was so com- mendible the piles of good saleable material that required two nights of selling meant the work and giving of many and it was given freely can vassers tell us more could have been secured if it could haye been brought to the sale centre xce liked too the spirit of the auctioneers who conducted the sale everyone of them was out to help the other fellow lnrjiee days of regulation restriction and con we may lose some of this community spirit if we do we lose one of the finest things of our democratic way of life perhaps we can retain it and expand it to a wider field in our war effort perhaps we can broaden our com munity perhaps it will take in a world community spirit that should be the ultimate aim working together for a common good docs brinj out the best and the community sale was another example of this truth v running down the home town some people seem to find a queer kind of satis faction in speaking disparagingly of the commun ity where they live there does not seem any adev uate motive for such talk of course if they are trying earnestly to correct defects in the home town life it is legitimate for them to point out faults in a constructive way suggesting at the same time the remedies for these defects and working themselves to remove thosetaults sometimes people will talk about what the home town lacks when it seemed as if their only motive was to show that they have higher standards than those of their townspeople such talk is an obstacle to pro gress and it creates a hopeless kind of feeling that the home town is way behind so badly that it is useless to try to correct those faults peel gazette v editorial notes v merry christmas from this corner too v and once

polieemeiv postmen etc lately observance of the day n i holiday has spread to canada but not with the same purpose in mind here it is seemingly observed so that shop keepers and those employed in stores have an extra holiday after christmas to make up for the lone hours given previous to the holiday in that respect it resembles a christmas box at any rate most fair minded folk will agree that shop keepers are entitled to this extra holiday it will be observed in acton this year remember to lay in supplies sufficient for two days at christ mas time boxing day is a holiday for acton stores
