Trhe wondrous world of winter (for chi.idren that is) brings a complete new &et of hazards for the young arid .active child. Sleighing, skiing, skating, al have their attendant dangers.- Perhaps the greatest danger is in going ta and frorn these sports. The early darkness which descends sa quickly catches many youngsters stili dragging their sieigh home fsrn their favorite fiill. Parents who dress their children in dark clathes are adding ta thefr danger. Bright ciothes are best, but if your child is equipped with a dark coat invest a few cents' in a colos-fui scarf or better still sew on siome reflective tape or cloth. The Ontaria Safety League offetrs TRIJE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT At timres when wve are doubtful that the Christmas spirit is carried into the other 364 days of the year we like ta recali the story of a bus driver: I couid tell from the bus dsiver's greeting when the blind wornan. gat on that she must be a frequent passenger. She sat down directly behind hlm and they chatted as he drave. When we reached the wamnan's stop the driver got out and escorted ber across the beavily travelied street. He was chuckling as he returi-. ed ta his seat and I noticed the woman stili standing wbere he bad left ber. "She won't go on until she knows I gat back safely," be explained. Then, with a hank of bis born, he drove away. The wornan turned and walked toward ber- home. OUT O0F ORBI'f We'li soon know if the rackets frorn Cape Canaveral have knacked Santa Claus and bis reindeer out of os-bit. FIT TO BE TIED Ah, thîs mers-y season When peace and goadwiil should abîde; But I've wrapped sa many presents That 1, tao, arn fit ta be tied. DREAMING I'm dreaming of a whit~e Christmas And not the kind you think. It's a white refrigerator And a white new kitchen sink. PRICE 0F GOODWILL At this time of year you hear inuch Christmas has different rneaning ta almnost every persan. To sorne it means a long holiday af ter a busy season, ta others a period for refiecting upon the birth of Christ and ail it bas meant ta civilization. Tc stili others it bring s an ppotuntyfor gorging and dissipat- facturess it is filled with hope for profits which may have been absent the rest of the year.' And for those suffer- ing bardships or sorrow it cari be à bitter episode, a tirne for self pity and despair. Ail these feelings and rnany more emnotions are wrapped up in Christrnas this year, depending upon aur par- ticular way of living and our circum- stances. There is, however. one general rejoicing among ail children as this season gains its fui]lrnarentum. Especially for the yaunger ones, Christ- m-as with its gay decorations, its liglits, tinsel, colarful wrapping, the tree in the corner of the living-room, is a time to remember. For mothers, pestered by their young fs-y who irsist on dis- rupting carefully placed bits of arrange- ments and rnaking smali finger holes in the special cookies and cakes, it can be these addîtional suggestions for i. winter wise parent: 1. Always teach yousr child sleigh ride arn a bill free of obstac]( and where the end af the s-un wor wînd up an the street or road. 2. For skating, encourage a supe vised, approved rink wbere possible. a f rozen pond is used make sure it's tes ed carefuliy by an aduit first. Poiu out ta cbildren that the skate blade as sharp as a knife, and should1 treated with the sarne respect. 3. Make sure yaur child learns1 ski properly, and conques-s gentie slopE f irst. Ski paies can be a help or hazard. Be sure they are used properil of the word 4"goodwill". We happene, ta think that goodwiii is priced on mos financiai balance sheets at $1.00. Odè for such a priceiess item. RIGIIT AFTER CHRISTMAS Right When Carne When after Christmas Santa bas beat it, the bis funds are depieted. SHORTEST NIGHT A father was teiling us thai. thE shortest night of the year is Christma. Eve from sundown ta son-up. THREE BAGS 0F GOLD Talking about Santa Claus, there was a tirne when be was known as St. Nicholas. In many countries gaac chiidren receive holiday gifts fs-a the saint on this day. And be is flot only the patron o! cbiidren and giver ai gifts - but the saint of mas-mers, sebal- as-s and pawnbrokers. Now, bow did the pawnbrokes-s, of ail people, get into this? There are rnany legends about St. Nicholas. Once for tbs-ee nigbts in a row be threw a bag of goid through the open windaw o! a poor man who was desperately cansidering seliing bis daugbters. Over the years the three bags. of gold becarne the pawnbrakers' sign of three golden balîs.
