Forrester, Editor Summons At Christmas This is Christmas. Christmas Bells throughout all Christendom Christendom are ringing out the most joyous proclamation of the gospel message. "Fear not; for, behold, 1 bring you good things of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day, in the city city of David, a Saviour/which is Christ the Lord." (St. Luke). Yes, 1988 years ago, the angels sang, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good-will toward men," and those that followed the star in the east found the Saviour, Christ the Lord, lying lying in a manger, in the city of David. But the first Christmas was a trying and painful time, despite all the manifestations of glory. Was not Joseph summoned from sleep to take unto himself Mary, who gave birth to Christ Jesus? And were not Mary and Joseph summoned by decree from Caesar Augusta to go from Galilee to Bethlehem to be taxed? And were not all men of good will summoned by the angels to go to the manger in Bethlehem to find their King? Mary and Jqseph lived under a dictatorship in which life was cheap. Their income was more likely in the lower third of the nation. nation. When it came time for the Baby, they were summoned to make a trip to meet the demands of their government. Whether the Baby lived or died was of no concern to the society in which they existed. As far as their own people were concerned, Mary and Joseph could make out for themselves. But because God reigned, they were not alone. The Wise men brought gifts of great treasure. There was great rejoicing. And so tonight there is rejoicing and there are visible tokens of Christmas. Most business sections have. been bright with Christmas decorations for days past- Holly wreaths are found in many home windows, bells on doors and gaily lit Christmas trees, if not on the front lawn, visible in the living rooms, from the street. Everywhere about us, there seems to be a new spirit, a new life, a new hope, a new joy! Tonight children will go to bed assured that Santa Claus is on his way and will come down the chimney, in our respective homes, to deliver a portion of his heavy load. Most of us will banish all thoughts of external troubles and for the next few days concentrate on internal joys. It is, indeed, a time of Merry Christmas. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE ZONING BY-LAW CHANGE The Town of Newcastle will hold a public meeting relating to a number of amendments to their Comprehensive Zoning By-law. Among the amendment is a definition of family to cover doubling up in apartments and other dwellings. A further amendment deals with the parking of commercial vehicles in residential zones. The amendment changes the limit to 1 ton rather than the existing 4 tons and will rule against front yards, other than driveways'for the parking of camp trailers, motor homes, truck campers, boats or motorized snow vehicles.

There whs also a pot-luck supper in the Orange Hall on Sunday evening evening for the members. So Sunday was a busy day here. Next Sunday is Christmas. From "The Heritage Book by Edna McCann." Christie, a friend of my granddaughter granddaughter Phyllis, is a teacher in a primary class. She had this amusing story for us today. Young Jimmy was having a very difficult time getting ready to go home. His snowpants were on backward and his boots were still sitting on the floor. Christie took pity on this tired youngster and sat him on a chair to help him get his boots on. Christie pushed, tugged and yanked to get the boots on over Jimmy's shoes. At last the boots were on. "Now Jimmy where are your mitts?" asked asked Christie tiredly. ■ With a resigned little sigh Jimmy replied, "They're in my boots, teacher.". Winter has come and the trees are now bare, You feel all her wrath on the cold frosty air. One of the great voices we miss at Christmas time is that of Kathleen Ferrier so I have copied this from the Friendship Book by Francis Gay. Tew people have been more gifted than Kathleen Ferrier. She was pretty, an accomplished pianist, had an infectious sense of fun and, of course, a wonderful contralto voice known all over the world. , Her voice whs known to millions. At Carlisle Festival after winning the piano medal, a friend bet her a shilling she wouldn't go in for the "contralto, singing section. Kathleen nevêr refused a dare. She was amazed amazed when she ndt only won the section, section, but walked off with the rose bowl for being the outstanding singer there. The judge advised her to take up singing as a career. She did, and won worldwide acclaim. For the last few years before her ■tragically short life ended, Kathleen knew she had cancer. However, she never lost her irrepressible sense of humour,- and despite operations and long spells of treatment, her sining was never better than in her last months. After her death a close friend said, "There was too much jollity in her for us to remember her with sadness. Great as she was as a singer, she was greater still as Kathleen Ferrier." A wonderful tribute - and one we can all achieve, no matter how much or how little fame we attain. St. Saviour's Anglican Churc.
