are now far away from the scenes of our childhood look back with a certain unavowabw nostalgic to those festival qeesstaos the house- tatty decorated delicious aromas emanating from the big kitchen the hustle and bustle or last minute preparations for the great day and awaiting morning m a state of high excitement to aee what santa claus had brought we can stffl remember the thrill of getting the don we had so hoped for of trying out the new game with dad and showing off our new skates and other prised possessions to the rest of the crowd in that small town rink where all the youngsters congregated to skate and visit and play jokes on each other yes t christmas occupied a large comer of our memories ah the more reason then why the parents of today should really make an effort to see that their children have inn at the christmas season it is such a busy- time especially for the mother so many extra seem to fall upon- her capable shouldem and of course she is tired tired working to have everything finished in time and lust so but what ft shame for her to spoil almhe results at her labours by being cross easily annoyed or exasperated with- every loud about or glee bow much better it would be h she could togefcher arduous duties for a bit and tela and play with he children they wjjljwnember the story she tow them the games they played the fun they had togptber long after they

smart this year necklaces of varnished jwap rurt or niggertoes are quite the vogue and with a little care i bs made at home at small cost of course walking with plasticine jna scrapbooks weaving coloured mats are always good sources of entertain ment and probably santa has brought a game which all the family can play that this christmas be the joluest and happiest ever and lojy remain in your memories is the wish of barbara haines to all her i young and old canadian hospitality there are many people within our gates today for whom chrlstm this year must needs be a lonely time there are the thousands of small families scattered across our reat dominion spending probsbly their first christmas without the beloved husband and father in his accustomed place at the head of the table each community should see that something is done to make the festival season seem a llttte gayer a uttle brighter for them so often i have heard our enlisted men say i can take care of myself but id like to be sure that someone will toot out for my family when im not there to do h it is an important piece- of war work to see that a mans home is not allowed to go to pieces while he is on active service a gaily decorated tree some toys anlcecream cone are small things but they may do much to help keep up the moral of those left behind in canada today there aie also thousands of young men in train ing for war service many of their homes are in distant parts of tt dominion some come from other lands and are far away from their families they miss the home ajoclatlons a word of friendliness some evidence of appreciation of what they are doing for their country they the highspirited eager for social contacts entertainment and simple hospitality if thert are any such in your community invite them lnto your homes let them meet some of your young friends and help mak hit- present a llttte more enjoyable their future may be pretty grim then too there are the english women and children who have been bombed out of their homes in the old land many of them have been through great emotional stress they find our manners and customg somewhat different from their own and it is often difficult for them wi adjust themselves to a new life of dependence upon the kindness of others they need consolation and understanding and cheer and above all to- be made feel that canadians welcome them with open arms at this glad christmas season it is up to us to see that they are all taken into- the warmth of some family circle and shown some real canadian hos pitality this year none of us should feel free to sit down to ourown christ mas dinner unless we have first had some small share in providing christmas cheer and comiort for those who because of the war are un able to celebrate christmas in their accustomed way the bright pavilions by hath wslpole t mcclelland and stewart 300 the golden days of queen elizabeth the days of pirates and plagues s of witchcraft and torture of elegant masques
