many It has to be but for most It means a giving and receiving of tangible material and of course there is the less tangible the acts of kindness and to each other which Christmas stimulates each of us every year This year the Chamber of Commerce wish to attempt to stimulate In the Community a spirit of Christmas which can affect everyone We ask you to look to your Local Shops for Christmas shopping this year They have tried very hard to bring Into their stores as wide a variety of goods as you will see for many a mile around You can save time money and Gasoline and also have the assurance that these people are your neighbors and will follow their sales with service and protection We are all guilty at times of running to the large centres for a wider variety but perhaps we should think about what we are doing to our selves and our Community when we do this We are taking Christmas out of our Town We are forgetting the people on whom we depend all year for the small necessities Please try this year to include your local storekeeper in your Christmas wishes and make It a Bumper Christmas for Acton chants They won disappear like the mistletoe and Holly until next year They will be around all year to return your confidence with their service Happy Christmas to One and All and a Prosperous Centennial Year for Acton acion centennial BOX ACTON ONTARIO
