MONEY BOX Our life is like a money-box, for out of it we get Ail that we put into it-it sounds absurd and yet It's true,--Some folks seem to get ail the luck and gold But iife's exchange is fair enough, when al-the truth is told. You can't put ini a copper and take out a silver piece, The coins won't disappear, diminish or increase The contents o! the box is the amount that you possess, A dollar is a dollar, nothing more and nothing less. If you put nothing into life you surely can't complain If you get nothing out of it, the reasoning is plain; Put ahi your heart in what you do and when you come ta count Rewards for service rendered, you'll have your fair amount You'll find the only Capital you'il have to draw Is ail that you've put into life, Just that, and nothing more.

This is a New Renewal Gift Subscription F 1 enjoyed a fine social get-together in St. John's Parish Hall, Thurs- day a!ternoon when Bowmanville Wamnen's Institute was hostess ta the war brides in town from over- seas and from ather provinces i Canada. Twenty-eight -invitations were sent out and about twenty brides were present. Mrs. Frank Jack- man, Mrs. Mina Colwell and Mrs. Chris. Robinson welcomed the guests at the door and looked af- ter seating arrangements. Mrs. Chas. Mutton was conven- er of the program and presided for' the first part when several readings and musical numbers were given. Mrs. Alex Colville sang "The Old Refrain" and "Bird Songs at Eventide" in a pleasing voice and also led in carol singing. Mrs. A. S. Baker delighted ahl with a humorous reading and Mrs. Laurence Goddard told a Christmas story which was en- jqyed. Mrs. L. S. Dumas, president, then took the chair and welcomed the guests. She explained the purpose of the Women's Institute and outlined, briefly, the many wartime activities of the Institute. Continuing, she hoped that these new citizens would soon feel at home and get acquainted with our' Canadian ways. She called each bride to the front and asked her to tell the name of the town where she came from and the chief industry carried on in that town. This was well responded to and a variety of towns were listed from the south of England to the north of Ireland and Scot- land, and some from Alberta and Nova Scotia in our own Canada. Each guest was presented with a pyrex pie plate as a souvenir of the occasion. The president in continuing the program expressed best wishes on behaîf of the Institute and hop- ed aIl would become good Can- adian citizens and continue to re- side in town. Rev. J. dePencier Wright in a few brief remarks also extended a welcome to the guests and sug- gested that they form a club and become better acquaînted with each other. The guests gathered in a group for picture taking as Mr. John James, Statesman photographer, was present with his ever faithful camera. A reproduction of this photo appears on another page.

BREWING COMPANYLIMITED -~ -M-M-M-M M M-m M- - M M M m m -- - m m m - - - Significance - of Xmas The story of Christmas is a familiar one ta everyone, both young andLold, for we have heard At in sang and story and seen it in pictures ah aour lives. But there is something about this story that appeals to us and that repetition throughout the years cannot dull. The mother and the Babe, the shepherds watching their flocks by night, the angel's sangs 19nging out over Bethlehem, ail these sentiments and others are as dear as the first time that we heard them. Carol singing has been assoc- iated with the festi.re season ever since that first Christmas centur- ies ago and "Hark the Herald Angels §ing, Glory ta, the New Born Kifig," increases in beauty with each passing year and as time marches on we reverence the thought and motives signified in it's beàutiful melody. It is just one hundred years a.go that the first Christmas Card was used as a greeting. It was an elaborate three-panelled card, hand-coloured in pastel shades, but it could not be purchased) by everyone as it was a personal card restricted to a few. How- ever, gradually the idea spread, reaching the United States and Canada by 1875. Beautifully ent graved and fringed cards were much in vogue for years and they too were restricted. Since the turn of the century less elaborate cards are the vogue with a noticeable increase in beauty of design, colouring and messages which have popularized this mode of remembering fri- ends, far and near, at this season. For the children the story of St. Nicholas coming down the chimney will neyer die and his remembering ail good boys and girls by leaving gifts, whether under a lavishly dýecorated tree or by the old-fashioned method o! hanging up the stocking is as re- vered as it was centuries ago. It is doing the same things over, in just the same way ithat makes Christmas the one beautiful thing that neyer changes in this chang- ing world. Do you hang stockings? By the fireplace or by your bed? Do you have a beautiful tree each year with the same decorations which you have used for years? Child- ren love the same ones year after year. The more they are used the dearer they become. What- ever you do, repeat it each year s0 that it becomes rich in memor- ies and gives the chihdren a deep- er security and recaptures for the grownups the feeling of magic and the spirit o! Christmas. Each year the sparkle and glit- ter, laughter and merriment that surrounds Chrismas becomes in- tensified in value by the mem- ories of many previous seasons. The remembered fragrance of fruit cake baking i the oven, the aroma o! roasting turkey mingled with sage and onion - these are among oul- earliest recollections o! holiday foods and each ypar they too are intensi!ied in value. The rustle o! crisp gif t wrapping-- - there is no pleasanter sounu and excitement increases at each festive season. Christmas is the best of ahl the year-it is universal, ageless, joyous and reverent. Tradition is honored and everyone becomes imbued with the spirit and senti- ment o! this happy and much- loved day. In olden days the burning o! the Yule log had a deep signi!ic- ance. What better sentiments can we cherish these days than these expressed in an ancient toast? "This Yule log burns and des- troys ail hatreds and misunder- standings, let your envies vanish and let the spirit o! good fellow- ship reign supreme at Christ- mas and throughout the year." May this be the spirit and the signi!icance of Christmas for everyone in this troubled world. on behaîf of the guests for the nice entertainment.

WOMEN'S INSTITUTE Newtonville Women's Institute met on Dec. lOth at the home of Mrs. C. Hancock, Newcastle, with President Mrs. F. Gilmer in the chair. A donation ef $5.00 was given ta the Sick ChilcLren's Hos- pital. After the business period the Secretary Mrs. Wade called the roIl, many responded by namîng some antique article. Among the many antiques on dis- play were candlewick snippers, eye glasses skates, carved gourd, mother-of-peari card, case, smell- ing salt bottie, pickle fork with ejector attached, Christmas cards, calling card. case, inlaid tule plaque, old fashioned beaded scotch cap, pomade jar, vase, quilts, a willow pattern plater. Mrs. C. Hancock read the history of the wilhow pattern, and Mrs. Holmes pointed out what the dif- ferent pictures on the platter re- presented. One antique that was admired, and many flattering remarks pass- ed about it was the wedding dress of Mrs. C. Hancock's mother, and worn by Mrs. Red;knapp of New- tonville as she gracefully walked around the room before the ad- miring members. Mrs. C. Hancock gave a very instructive talk on the early his- tory of Clarke Township, and the early settlers around Newcastle. Readings were given by Mrs. Holmes "The Community: Whose Business?" and Mrs. F. Gilmer, "The Back Seat Driver." Mrs. C. Hancock conducted a contest: "Things Our Grandmothers Nev- er Had."

WOMEN'S MISSIONARY SOCIETY Newtonville U.C.W.M.S. met on Dec. lOth. All members were asked to bring or send Calenders before the end o! the year to have contents included iii the year 's report. Secretary was ask- ed to send a card ta our Trea- surer Mrs. S. Lancaster, who is ili at her mother's home in Port Hope. There was a discussion re getting a better attendance at our meetings, for while we feel we have the sympathy and financial support of the mai ority of our church members, yet they do not attend meetings. Mrs. Bunt in- vited us to meet at the parsonage for January suggesting that we try meeting in the homes as a means of making meetings more interesting. Program consisted of several beautiful Christmas hymns with Mrs. Lane at the piano, inters- persed throughout the program which the President led with re- sponses of different Indian wo- men being taken by several mem- bers. Election of officers was held with Rev. H. A. Bunt in charge: Pres., Mrs. Burley; lst Vice, Mrs. Geo. Stapleton; Sec'y., Mrs. C. Robinson; Treas., Mrs. S. Lancas- ter; Baby Band Sec'y., Mrs. C.
