BUt there is one thiug in bis favar. Il was be who made turkey a popu- lar Christmas disb. In those days the boaî's bead was the Christmas joint, but James hated park as savngely ns he did tobacco, sa bis cooks sub- stituted tuikey nnd tbe bird neyer feil out o! favar. Talking o! turkey. it was the Jesuits who first imparted the bird f ram America. They ieared turkeys on a large farm near Bourges, in France, and from there tbey sprend all aver Europe. Wbat n pity it is we don't know who invented tbe mince pie. All we do knaw is that they weie or- iginally made in the shape a! the manger in whicbh the Christ-Child was laid and that they were kuawn as "coffin" pa.stiies. But peihaps the mince pie grew like the plurs pudding which, in its earliest state. was nothing but a sort o! porridge with plums in iL. Our ancestois ate it for break- f ast. A king popularized the turkey, and a queen intioduced thie Christmas tree. IL was Charlotte. consort o! George III, wh o brougbt the first one ta London. Oddly enough. Lie fashion did not take on, and it was nat until about 1840 that tie Christmas tree was again seen. It was then re-intraduced by the Prince Con- sort who by the way, became en- gaged ta Queen Victoria on the morning o! Christmas Day, 1838. No one knaws wha wrote the, first Cbristmas carol, but we do know that the f irst book o! carals was published by Wyukyn de Worde, who was a pupîl o! the famous Caxton. Mauy wilI tell you that we owe Ythe meiriment o! Christmas ta Charles Dickens. No ane in their senses is going ta decry the work tint Dickens did in this way, but we aught not ta farget the other writers who made papular Christ- mas parties and revels. It was Addisan who invented Sir Rager de Coverley, or wha adapted hlm fram Squire Newde- gaLe a! Arbury. And tint worthy knight knew ahl about Christmas festivities. s "Christmas," le said, "is the mast dead, uncomfartabie time a! the year. wheu the pon people would suffer veiy muci fram their cpoveity and cold if tliey bancfot gaod cheer. warm f ires, and sChristmas gambols ta support them. I live to rejoice thei.r poar hearts and ta see the whole vil- lage merry in my great hall. "I alîow a double quantity of malt ta my small beer and set it a-runniug foi twelve dnys ta ev- teryoue that cails for iL. I have always a piece o! cold beef and a mince pye upon the table." Nor must we farget Sir Walter sScott, whose centeuary was re- centiy celebrated. Read "Mai- mion" and you wiUl see that bis motta was: '"We'll keep aur Christmns meîry stili." Many well kuown writeis o! the past have helped ta make Christ- tmas Lhe jolly festival tînt iL is ",today. PARK ST. UNION WELCOMES GUESTS Happy feilowshîp was held Mouday evening wheu Bowman- ville Trinity Union weîe the guests o! Orono Park St. Union. Mr. Robt.

Roberts; a piano soloanad encore by Miss leleen Hailman: and a vocal solo, -Tby Will Be Doue' by Mr. K. Sonnes. Tapic wns taken by Mi. Howard Jeffery who spoke learuedly on the rather delicate question '"Has the Wbite Man Last Face in the East?" He pointedl out that ever since Ger- many tare up the tieaty in 1914 nations have been breaking their Promises and that the Brussels canference has doue more harm than good - meîeiy showing the yellow race that no country can rely on a treaty but must have an army and navy. He stated that nothlng lad been doue to prevent war at ail, altbough ahl nations were disgust- ed with war. White people lad built up the large clty o! Shang- bai but it wus almost tatally de- molisbed in the war. White peo- ple had built up prestige but still their ships were being bombed - whlch would not have been done years ago. Tbese facts, intimated the speaker lu closiug, showed that altbough the white men had vaunted their supeiioîity Lhey were now Iosing prestige. Miss Edythe Truli was pianist for the evening. Foilowing the progiamn two con- tests a! woids were conducted by Misses Thelma Myles and Enid Cobbledick, and a game was 'play- ed. John Ashton o! Bowmanville was the wlnner. Lunch, conslsting o! sandwich- es, taîts, cake and coffee, was served and a social time enjoyed together. Befare the visitais departed Rev. S. Davison, pastai, expressed bis and the Young people'6 thanks to their hasts and hastesses and the hope that they would meet together again iu the near future. First Taste of the Ton for C.B.C. Broadcasterj "The proof of the pudding is in the eating", quoth Virginia Fair, Cana- dian Broadcasting Corporation com- mentatai. "Ail right, go ahcad!' invted Chef Tommy Gear.* Sa Mfiss Pair anticipated Christ- mas by a month and had the first taste o! the ton o! pluin pudding that will be served ta travellers in Cana- dian National dîners during the holi- day season. The occasion was an unusual coast- La-coaL brondcast which originated in one o! those diners at Motreal. In iLs iny kitchen, 21 feet by 6 feet 6 inchea, Tommy Geai and twa as- sistants were busy making 1,000 pounds of Christmas pudding. An- other haîf ton was being prepared in the kitchen o! a diner at Winnipeg. interviewing the chef, Miss Fair faund out that a tan af plum pudding requires 400 pounds of bread-crumbs; 2.50 pounds of chopped suet; 100 pounds of flour; 250 pounds of sugar; 168 dazen eggs; 25 gallons of mihk; 200 pounds each of sultanas, raisnst and currants; 100 pounds of mnced peel; more than six paunda each of cinnan, ahîspice and uutmeg; the juice and rind of mare than 33 dozen lemons; a pound of sait; three pounds o! bakiug soda, and 1,200 fluid ounces of brandy. In the photagraph the chef looks just as pleased as the taster. W. W. Swiuden, General Superintendent of Canadian National Sleeping and Dmn- iug Cars, (at heft) appears proud of his pudding, and Gerald Athur, chic! CBC announcer at Montreal (right) hohds the Mike.
