threshold puirhalkud people are not mascots on this occasion new years day is national holiday on which thousandji of people will ui uatchlug football matches and others will be playing golf und all will be itarthis tlic year with the spirit of good ulll und rood reolutiorm the time as write is the day after chrlstmao boxing pay as it la called in the old country and until the jast half hour have been sitting hi the living room alone completely at rest physically and mentally and curiously content to lie on the chesterfield in the fast fading light watching from the window the night clouds spread ing as it were darkling wings in he western sky and within the room the slow burning flame of the white oak wood throws flickering shadows oo the celling and walls for the first timo in weeks am content to do absolutely nothing there is restf nrjis in the thought that christmas is over christmas that has been peaceful and happy each member contributing in dividually towards the happiness of the family as whole our only disaster occurred when mltchle the cat climbed the christmas tree and knocked off somo of the preseiitsl the only thing that really worries ma is the conscious ness of letters uhould have written but somehow could not get started and now the old year in fading as fudes the present day but new year is dawning and none of us knows just what it has in store for us interna tionally wo fear for the peace of the world federally and provlncially there bt divergence of opinion as to the future welfare of our dominion locally in many centres municipal tdoctlons will soon be the order of the day and all these things rromlho geneva confer ence down to local politics have some bearing upon our own personal affairs then again perhaps during tho next twelve months momentous discoveries may be made authentic cures for dread diseases bo discovered or undreamed of inventions bo perfected and the man in tho street will benefit from the work ings of tho master mind wouldnt it be good idea we mudo brand new resolution that wo would try to enlarge our viewpoint and take un intelligent interest hi all these things that really do affect us either directly or indirectly tills year as we listened to the won derful christmas mualc coming over the air realized more than ever how much wo are indebted to our tclentlsls and inventors on christmas eve we heard big ben ring hi christmas day in the old country and of courw wo heard the kings splendid message on christ mas morning then late in the after noon wo listened to dickens clirlstmas carol we all sat absolutely still no one wanting to miss word the room got quite dark but no one moved to light lamp until tlie final words of tltly tim god bletis us every one later on in the evening wo listened to another dramatization during which dickers hi supposed to have dream in whlcn 11 hi diameters come to life it was cplcndld and so can really say that our radio added considerably to our enjoyment of christmas this yea ilui music helped tremendously to keep the true meaning of christmas in our hcarui mid in the understanding of our chil dren one of our neighbors said once he would rather do without his car than the radio and am beginning to think his choice was right at all events we may as well malce virtue of necessity becauiu our good old friend tlie optimist has not been out of uio
