Page Four THE HAILEYBURIAN ee THURSDAY; DEC 22nd, 1955 ~ re by BILL AND EILEEN LOVETT "Its's easy proved that man's a fool, When it's hot, he wants it cool, When it's cold, he wants it hot, Always wanting what is not." And men, alas, are not the only ones, woman .are just as bad. Last year at this time, I was worring my fool head off, think- ing we weren't going to have any snow for Christmas! This year I am wondering if we can get enough of the snow shovelled out of the driveway for our kids to park their cars when they come home for Christmas-! Anyway, I'd rather white Christmas than a one, snowdrifts or not. [he month before Christmas is such a wonderful time, from the day Bing Crosby first sings, "I'm dreaming of a White Christmas," to the last 'Silent Night," and "Good King. Wenscelaus'" on have a green Christmas night. [ love it all, and it vokes me that say "Oh, I'll over." It that so much gifts and rather pro- some people can be glad when it's seems sucha shame money is spent on and drinking eating that it takes several months to get caught up again. Christmas should much more, should give a feeling of. worship and thankfulness, a joy in having one's family toget - her that the neccessity of giving expensive gifts and making an effort to "do as much as the Jones" should not enter into the picture at all. Christmas cards are another thing that so many people call "a racket," but to me the send. ing and receiving of Christmas cards is one of the nicest parts of Christmas. Just to know that a hundred or more people have thought of me and taken the time to tell me so by sending a card means a great deal and warms the heart, not 'only when the card is received but when the rush of the season is over and one has time to sit down and go through them all, remembering little things about each sender. One of my small grandsons gets Eaton's catalog and picks out what he is going to give for Christmas presents and as at mean. so 4 CHRISTMAS Vic McMahon B.-A. Service Station aa) B. J.

All the Best from Bing Bastien CONLIN and HOGAN HAILEYBURY, ONT. PEGSEO FER POCO STC TVOCCOON his age, money is no object, the things he chooses would be wonderful gifts. He is very fond of the lady who looks after him while his mother teaches school, sohe has decided to get her "a dress wis shiny sings on it." His brother, who has a paper route and saves his money to buygifts, does not go in for such lavish dispayls. Municipal elections are over for another year and the rate- payers can settle down, draw a long breath and prepare to find fault with whatever their elected representatives do or do not do. "Sidewalk superintendents" will supervise the removal of snow from the streets, finance experts will know of better ways to spend the ratepayers' money and eyeryone and his dog will know exactly "what they should have done." But where will the majority of these people be next year when nomination night comes along? Will they be out, ready to accept nomination to any of these positions that they feel are not being properly fill ed? Not them. They'll be safely at home, unless some tremen- dous upheaval or wrong-doing gets everyone up in arms, than half the population turns out, nominates plenty of candldates turnes out again on election day elects their candidates, says," there, now," and settles down again. Such is life. !. Federal and Provincial elect- ions have lost the zip they used to have forty-five and _ fifty years ago,too. Born and brought up in a Liberal home, I listened to and as soon as I was ol enough, took part in heated arg- uments regarding the doings of "those. blasted Torries," and during the weeks before an election the discussions were especially hot. Of course, both Liberal and Conservative meet- ings were attended, to approve of the one and disaprove of the other, and followers of each candidate considered those on the other side, rogues and rascals. My father, one of the old type dyed-in-the-wool Grits, at that time could see no good in any Tory, but fortunately, the years mellowed his opinions and one of his old political enemies became a staunch friend and always attended birthday parties 'that were the highlight of the last few years of my dad's life. LURE. OF. WATER _ Canada, rich in lakes and rivers has a water-loving population but there is a high tool of drownings. There are also accidental of of small children who get into waterfilled exacvations or fall through the ice at the river's edge. Many of these drownings could have a happier ending if ar- ificial respiration were applied in time and for a sufficiently long period. There are records of people who have been in the water for half a hour, who have been brought back; others have been saved after more than four hours of working on them, alth- ough they were apparently drow- ned, Artificial respiration should be continued for hours, until a doctor positively certifies death or until rigor mortis sets in. Classes in artificial respiration are available in most communi- ties, either through St.John Ambulance Association, Red Cross or the local Civil Defence organization.

Looking into the future, a North American authority pred- icts that 'a man will overcome all of the major diseases by the year 2000, according to a report by the Medical and Pharmaceut- ical Information Bureau received by the Health League of Canada Dr. Lowry H.

The doctor told a recent med- ical meeting that all infectiqus diseases-- including tuberculosis and rheumatic fever-- will be eradicated by new drugs or vacc- ines.
