Page 12 THE OAKVILLE-T RAFALGAR JOURNAL THE REAL WILD CAT STRIKE Z = 1mm in mmm Mareus, in the New York _Times, To The Electors Of The Village of Bronte I am offering my services as VILLAGE COMMISSIONER Because I believe that the time has come for more progressive action by Bronte Village Commission and that young men should take a more active part in village affairs. I received my education in Oakville Public and High Schools and entered business with my father and brother in Joseph Lawrence and Sons, Cartage Contractors. A resident of Bronte since 1938, I am familiar with village administration and the problems to be faced. I am specially anxious that a solution be found for our water problem. If I am elected I will do my best to adminster village a 5 ina business-like manner. CHARLES LAWRENCE STOP! Wise their cars in motorists will drive now to have those needed repairs before making their Christmas jour- neys! Don't let your car let you down when you need it most... nothing will take the joy out of the festive season more than a stubborn motor. . .. DRIVE IN TO-DAY-- TELL US YOUR NEEDS-- WE'LL DO THE REST!

Our interest in the weekly dance has be- come some- what lax, It is not as it should be, but there seems to be so much to do in so short a time that something has been forgotten pe in the scramble and unfortun- ately it is the Saturday night dance that suffers. We of the committee are at a complete loss as to know just what to do to revive the failing spirit of the Club, Will you, who have visit- ed the hall, not come forth with a brainstorm? = We have had very interesting contributions to the "Ideas" department for fu- ture events, including New Year's Eve and the dawning, which are worth a second thought. Then again, with little more than a week intervening between Christmas and the New Year, what can be accomplish ed? Oh for a sudden "whaming" inspiration! What would provide you with a satisfying Saturday night's entertainment? Out with it! Give us a change, you will be the winner. TEEN TOWN By Bruce Squires Thank Heaven! At last the exams are over and we can re- lax again and am I for one glad. And now at long last we can get our clubs organized. Next Sunday afternoon Ruddy Whiting is holding a meeting for the election and organization of such clubs as the Camera Club, Stamp Club, Badminton Club, and the Train Club, and if you are at all interested come on down. You are sure to have a swell time in your spare time. Last Friday night proved un- eventful at Teen Town and we all had a very quiet time at Teen Town. We had a few guests at the Club from Toronto (Swan- sea and Long Branch) who were looking for trouble but Mayor Farley took necessary precautions and all was peace: ful. T met a few of them Satur day night and all in all I think they were 'regular fella's" and actually there was no need for concern at all, but it's better to be safe than sorry. I was rather upset by Mrs. Cairns' column last week and certainly would like to know what Teen Agers are so incon- siderate as to do such things as Mrs, Cairns mentioned. It seems to me that I've been present at a good many parties and many times on Saturday night have had a few friends up to my house and of course accidents can happen the same with Teen- agers as with adults, but I have never witnessed or heard of any of the Teen-agers in Oakville ever causing deliberate damage in a friend's home, but if this is true I would certainly like to hear about it.

Get the car- ol book out and start singing OAKVILLE Maxi TWO PHONES -- = For Your Convenience 1060 - 1061 -- 7 OARS -- Day and Night Service from now on. You will be sur- prised how it will improve the approach to Christmas. Oh, for the days when eight or ten youngsters used to go around singing carols from door door. Most of the carol baoks have pictures of children sing- ing on them and that is about all we see of it mow. What is it that changed us so. Some of these old carols date back many years and have and_have been sung through centuries. Some of them were written by composers whose names have been lost to us. They are steeped in antiquity and worthy of more singing than they get in this day and age. - Let's take a look the better known.: Once start- ed everybody likes to sing, "0 Come All Ye Faithful'. A translation from the Latin was made of this inspiring carol in 1841 by Frederick Oak- eley. It is claimed that the com- poser of the music is unknown but it has been credited to one John Reading, an English or- ganist who played at the Win- chester Cathedral in the latter half of the 17th century. The Latin term is "Adeste. Iideles" and' I don't think there is a Christmas carol as universally known as this one. The children particularly enjoy, "Away in a Manager" or as it is sometimes called "Luther's Cradle Hymn". Whether or not Luther wrote it or not is doubted by some mu- sicologists, it is one of our love: ly --carols. We go back to the year 1730 to get the background: of that favourite, "Hark, The Herald Angels Sing". It is said that Charles Wesley was inspired to write it as he walked to a ser- vice and heard the pealing of the Church bells. An organist at Waltham Abbey later set - the words to music which was com- posed by Mendelssohn for a fes- tival at Leipzig in 1840. It was finally published in: 1856 but it was said that it would never be sung as sacred. Time has proved that somebody was wrong. As a boy I well recall sing- ing the favorite "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen". This is one carol which particularly expres- ses the joy and hope of the Christmas season. The tune seems to be adopted to group singing and was always a fav- g at one of Thursday, Decembe, 2 through the ages, There are so many more, one could Eo On|T¢ you have the urge (, 4 andjion.
