A GLEAM OF LIGHT ee To a little child in the dark- ness of the night--to a miner trapped in the dank depths of a coal mine--a gleam of light can be more important than anything else in the world, for it is a sym- bol of security, safety and hope. tortured by two in two generations In a_ world edge of a third, there appears a light--the same light that appeared to the wise men shepherds nearly two ago--the same light that can lead the world to LEIGH DAY faith, hope and charity. While acknowledging that EVELYN LOGAN the world has come through dark days and times of crisis in the NES McAULAY past, many today believe that Haileybury W. |. Marks 50 Years of Progress Haileybury Woman's Institute marked an important milestone in their history last Thursday evening, December 13 when they "held a party to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of their organization, Guests were present from New Liskeard and North Cobalt bra- nches and a special guest was Mrs. Daisy Hunt of Kimmel W. I. in Rhyll, Wales. The guests were welcomed by the president of the Hailey- bury branch, Mrs. R. MacGilli- vary, who then turned the meet- ing over to the first vice-presi- ent, Mrs. Hilliard Cooke. An amusing reading was given by Mrs. Louise Gibson, entitled, "Yesterday and To-day". Several films showing color- ful scenes were shown by J. Hallworth. Several members of North Cobalt branch staged a hat show, modelling first some styles that were a snew as the year after next, and later, a number of the beautiful finished hats that they had made during their millinery course. Miss Eva Herod acted as commentator. Following the program, a turkey supper was served with head table guests being Mrs. M. Mawhinney, past president, Mrs. John Fleming, life member Mrs. Robert Campbell, life member, Mrs. James Schubert, Milbetra, district president, Mrs. R. Mc Gillivary, president, Mrs. J. H.

Greetings were extended by the out of town guests and Mrs. Hunt read a letter from Ethel Bellis, chairman of the Denbeigh County W.I. in Wales extending greetings to any and all branches which Mrs, Hunt might visit during her six month stay in Canada. Mrs. Hunt spoke briefly telling something of the way the meetings in Wales are conduct- ed and the work is carried out by the members. A bouquet of golden 'mums, presented by the Sunshine bra- nch was. divided and given to the three life members of the branch, Mrs. J. Fleming and Mrs. Robert Campbell, who were present, and Mrs. Sam Craig, who was not well enough to attend. The singing' of the National Anthem brought the eyening to a close. CHRISTMAS IN FINLAND For most of us, Christmas dinner is the time for a sump- tuous banquet: plenty of turkey cranberry sauce and plum pudd- ing. Christmas dinner means a lot of work for wouldn't want the meal to be less than perfect. And in tiny, wintry Finland, it's even harder on the woman. By noon of the day before Christmas, the whole house must be scrubbed and the floors cov- ered with clean straw, on which the children sleep--reminisent of the First Christmas. And on Christmas Eve, the whole family must take a Finnish bath. After the steaming bath, you're sup- posed to roll in the snow! never before has peace 2} mother, but she ™ seemed so far away. Ironically enough, the very land weher the angelic message of peace and good will was given was today the storm center of the world. With exist- ing conditions in the . Middle East, with the threat of atomic warfare, with the never ceasing encroachment of Russia upon the free world, one cannot help wondering what lies ahead. Superficially, one might say that the promise of peace has been nullified. The principles of right seem t&.haye been obscur- ed by the dark clouds of selfish ambition and the utter disregard for the smaller nation and the weaker man in their s truggles for existence. Mayur A. H. Cooke Advises Care In Holiday Driving Holiday safety has become one of the prime concers of munici- pal government, Mayor Cooke stated today in a pre-Christmas announcement. All citizens were urged to co-operate ina drive against holiday accidents which each year take an increasing toll. "We have established many records of which we can be proud during the past decade," the Mayor stated, "but there is one record which we should all eagerly seek. This year, we should work for a_ no-fatality record throughout our comm- unity. We should reveal our civic intelligence by proving that in this community an auto- mobile is a modern convenience, not a weapon for mass killing." The accident problem, the Mayor added, is heightened dur- ing the period of holiday cele- brations. Ordinarly cautious drivers sometimes give way to the holiday spirit and though their intentions are good, the end results can be bad. To avoid tragic endings to holiday celebrations, Mayor Cooke made the following sug- eestions: 1. On- the way to and from celebrations, use taxis or busses and leave the car at home. 2. If you must drive your own car, make it a point to restrict youn, drinking to coffee or other alertness beverages. 3. More than at any other times, be a courteous driver. Give pedestrians and _ other drivers the right of way. Glory to God O come, let us adore ST.
