We hope that you have made a generaus donation ta the splendid workwhicl is being cone through * the Christmas Seal Fund. Have you noticed the motif on this year's T.B. Christmnas seal. That's right, hunt them up and * take a good look atiti. The bird on the seal is not a bluebird as many people believe, but, ac- cording ta the artist, Herbert Meyes, it is a dove in flight. Meyes chose a dave because this bird, lie says, has always been associated witli good tidings throughout the Cliristian world- it was a clave which brought Noali the green sprig that told hirn the flood had subsided. The Christmas sprig o! holly carried by the dove has a tradition going back ta the trne o! the Druids, Who attached great significance ta both the holly andi the mistletoe becàuse they stayeti green throughout the winter months.

Perhaps your thoughts have been captured in Helen B. Ander- son's "December Drearns": The white homes o! the harnlet Gleam in the morning glow. The smoke-wreatls curi above them, The lake's calm waters show Pic'ures of warm-robed cedars, And trees ail guant and gray, That ail along the shore-line Like sentinels guard the way. The morn is calm and sulent, The meadows brown and bare, And oer the heart came surgîng The dreams af ye steryear, When winter snow brougît visions 0f sports 'mîd ice and snow- The winter winds a challenge In the days of long ago. And tîrougli the throbbing myst'ry1 0f this December morn Old iongings and ambitions Arc in the heart reborn; In dreams we hear the tidingas By herald angels sung, While happy Christmas spirit Makes al l e aid world young! *M-* F * THE CHRISTMAS TREE Christmas isn't Christmnas with- FaheGir Wlowl;t n !th acr atteeaya hitnsTe achordin. a nteoveethes.ncr ot the traditioalChre!ists bri- lieramnttglw f olurad glein gold and the shinHaslver tar arto sil tand s a symbolarof friedly godcheer and gooad wil arinWandfre woewats, ot the Scanditinalans, is ried ln nient iege clor nd with aving lihitsayre. etriedof tano ald ade them worngsipper star tees nlsand nosQia livng o of frdown the gr eoarea rond o whe ih t thered ta offenry ao hmanaic.As it felitea ir ancuusl eyond it ain- fried saidctate pele: om Hre ims te livingtree, witho ntai po lood upan ri. risah ha ed thtighf r nwwaprshipf trees how tandpoitofta lieinky.

Mrs. Alpha Pinch, Oshawa, for rnany years a resident of Bow- manville, celebrated her 94th birthday on Dec. 13 when many of her frientis called ta wish her rnany happy returns of the day. This sprightly nonagenarian is full of the joy of living, and a con- stant marvel ta her frie-ids. She is in remarkably good health, even better she maintains than at this time last year. Full of fun, Mrs. Pinch is nimble physicaliy as well as rnentally and can prove her suppleness by bending and fouching her toes. She is keenly interested in ail the local news and derives rnuch pleasure frorn lier radio. Her hobby is stamping qult blocks and sewîng. She loves ta make gay aprons and dainty thi'igs but is also expert at dress- making and this August made a stylish velvet dress for hef'self. No black for Mrs. Pinch, either. She likes color in her clothes. Blue is her favorite, a sof t periwinkle blue and her friends tell her it compliments her blue eyes. Many strange things have been rêvealed ta Mrs. Pinch in her drearns.
