quinton visited the ted browns last weekend we wish the editor and his staff and the many readers of the herald a merry xmas last saturday nights turkey shoot was a success but unfortun ately there were not as many as expected in- attendance however a real time was had by au who were there and it is hoped that the regiment will not cancel this yearly affair because of the poor crowd caused we believe be cause of the inordinately chilly weather and a preponderance of christmas parties held that night we respectfully suggest howev cr that it ought be held around thanksgiving which would give a much better climate in the armory true while it was not actually un comfortably cold on the range it was chilly and holding it in the fall should make it much more appeal ing to all to earl lince

venience what would you do if you had such a power thrust upon you would you heap your f peo ple with mink coats cadillacs and automatic weshers7 if you did of course the magic wouldnt last and on christmas mornino all the fabulous presents would vantslv lust after theyd been unwrapped and youd be as popular as a soc ialist in the senate because you see those arcn t the things that people really truly want and the santa claus wand would only work for really truly gifts not just things theytf like for the sake of vanity or comfort or prestige i know some of the presents id bestow te childless couples who wanted children very badly id give not one but four of the fat test prettiest pinkest wettest babies you ever saw two boys and a brace of girls and id throw in a large bottle of tranquilizers and a pair of strait jackets to all children i d grant a set of parents who would answer all their questions patiently read stories evpry night at bedtime go sliding on the hill with them play endless games with them not make them eat anything they didn t like hug them when they were hurt or troubled love them always and whale the tar out of them when they needed it on christmas morning i d pres ent to all old people a three months reprieve from all their ailments aches and pains id give them a good appetite and a rare fine set of new teeth to go with it id give them love and kisses in large measure from a veritable host of grandchildren and id throw in a roundtrip plane ticket to flori da paid in advance reservation at a posh miami hotel and a fat cheque to let them play the races get married again or do whatever else they wanted while they were spending the winter down there to all clergymen whatever the colour of their cloth 1 d give a special christmas present

on s tenure all mothers of large families would get something simple but acceptable for christmas i d pro vide them with families who ap preciated all the work they did praised their cooking told them once in a while they looked nice wiped their feet when they came in did the dishes frequently and paid them a little attention on other occasions than mothers day and id throw in the full time ser vices of a cracking good house keeper and pay her salary for a year on christmas eve i would give all merchants cash registers so stuffed with currency they could not close them and then 1 d give them an irresistible impulse to take a big hunk of their net profit and spend it on somebody who needed it foreign missions or re tarded children or something what would 1 leave under the tree for the farmers you guessed it caleb id grant them a whole year of exactly the kind of weath er they wanted regardless of the comfort or convenience of the rest of us of course id have to find them something else to bellyache about but they could probably fall back on the complaint that all those iremendous crops were taking a lot out of the land all amateur golfers would be donated one season in which
