Most. o! these Chriptmas pictur- es-,a; gathered from. Europe, and sometimes we forget that this hemisphere has some of its own to offer. This year, however,, a scene which recalîs a chapter in Christmas history on 1tliis side of the, A4tlantic. is bQing given a wide circulation through Christmia s Sealà, the annual sale, of which, furnis4es fundg for the. fight against, tuberceuipsîss. Those who collect - the seals know , that through the years, the double- barred.cross, em-blem of the fight agaist tuberculosis,,bas been cou- Pied. ith pictures wh .ich em'bod-' ýied nearly every. Christmas legend of the Anglo-Saxon,.Scandinavian, Teutonic, Slavic and Latin world. It is somewhat gratifying tay know that in this, the 21st Canadian Christmas Seal Sale, whçn the Seal Sale "cornes. of age," the de- sign is on a North American themei Since Canada supplies Bri- tish tubeulosis workers with seals for, their-campaign thé "aid. country" will perhaps begin ta in- clude our Christmas symbols with theirs. This year's se-al portrays an ox- drawn sleigh heaped high with- ev eergrèen trees." Beside it march- es a bearded farmer, wading in dèep snow. Looking ' at it. one may recali that for two or three decades such a'.scene was tyipical prelude *ta Christmas. Christmas Trees did not always deck our -halls. They had little vague autside Germany unitil Prince Albert, consort of Quen.Victoria, introduced theni into. Eniglanid by having a great decorated one raised where ail Loidôn might delight in It. The ngI4sh People welcomed the in- noation gleefully and before long it was'eqjually popular in Amenica. How relatively new the custom is may' be realized, from the fact that'it was in 1851, less than a Century, ago, that, a woodsman, Mar'k Carr, hauled!the first load ýoChristmas trees from the Cats- kill Mountains.to New York ta see, if city, folks wanted to buy them- andl found that they did. Inýthe following winters thous- ands of sleigh laads of trees were delîvere.c ta cities and towns. Sturdy oxen plodded through deep drifts where -no snow plow had braken trail. When midwinter cold numbed the. driver he warm- eci ýhîmself .by walking beside the Iaad. -As years went by the..yok- es of oxen gave way to faster- moving, horses, and. those in turn have been. superseded 'by- trucks whioh naw bring millions of trees- yearly ta the Christmeas market.., The ox-team, like the the stage coach, bas been edged out of the transportation, picture, elbowed aside by aur niechanized age-but it makes a new-word, picturefor the, gallery of Christmas tradition.

Chase, Manager What You ShouId Know. TRAVýEL RATIONING -Why? Canadti's suppiy of U.S. dollars wilIl no longer stretch fuar enough to'permit ail the purchases of goods arnd services or ail the travel in the United States that has taken place in the past. It is, therefore, fiecessary to reduce aur expenditures of U.S. dollars in many different ways. As one of these zteps, the Government has decided that the use of U.S. dollars for pleasure travel spending must be reduced. To ensure this reduction in a way that-is fair ta ail, an a nnual "travel ration" has been established. As in the past - a Form H permit is required by anyone taking out of Canada mare thon $1i0 U.S. or more than a total of $25 in Canadian and foreign currencie. Pleasuire Travel Regulations now provide thot the maximum amourri of U.S. dollars which any Canodion resident moy obtoin for pleasure travel pur- poses«is $150 per year. In the case of chiidren cf eleven yeors and under, the amount is $100. There is no restriction on the number of trips as long as this annual ailotment is net exceeded. Any U.S. dollars obtained for ane trip and flot used an thot trip'must ho brought back ta Canada and exchanged for Canadian dollars at a bank immediately an return. No credit for these funds con bo oilowed mgainst ffhe annuol ration for subsequent trips. Personal Purchases of U.S. Goods A Canadian tourist shouid remember that the new restrictions apply. Ing to, imports from the United States govern his personal purchases there. He moy net bring bock any merchandise whiclK' as now been prahibited or which may now only ho imported on a quota basis. The iist of goods covered by the new import restrictions is an extensive one. Tourists cantempiating any porticular purchase in the United States would ho wise, before ieoving the country, te osk Canadion Customs Officiais if this purchase wiII be admitted.
