CALE William Robert Cale passed away at TaTa Creek. B.C., on Nov. 26, agcd 76 years. He was born at Hampton in 1881, youngest son of tire late Elizabeth Moss and Robert Cale. Mn. Cale spent iris early years in Bowmanville and for sev- eral years worked for tire Ma- son Brotirers in their depant- ment store. He married Maude E. Colville, a native of tire Be- tiresda district. In 1912 tirey moved to Di- vide, Sask., where they farmed until 1947 wiren they sold tireir property and moved to TaTa Creek where tireir sons oper- ate a resort. Mr. Cale is survjved by iris wife, one daugiter, Inez (Mrs. A. Fald) Milk River, Alta., and five sons, Bruce, Evan, Stanley, Jack and Gordon at TaTa Creek, B.C., and one sister, Mrs. Di- ana Fiee of Oshrawa, also by sevea gzrandch!Jlrcni.

Tire traditional use of ever- green trees duning the Christ- mas season provides a tixne when ail Canadians are brougirt into close contact witi tire fragrance and fresirness of tire forest. Christmas trees probab- ly add more to mark the per- iod of "peace on earth-good will toward men" tiran any other product of tire soil. In-i doors and outdoors, Christmasi trees bave become essential for dceorative purposes in tire homes, in tbe parks and on tire streets, in cirurcires and in business bouses. Christmas would seem barren without them. Tire spreading branches serve most fittingly too, as a deligirtful biding place for San- ta Claus' presents for cbildren and adults.
