Plum Pudding Plum pudding evolved from an early English dish known as "frumenty." Traditional at the English Christmas feast, 'frumenty"' consisted of wheat boiled un- til the grains burst and, after straining, reboiled with broth or milk and yolks of eggs.

In*the first and second periods the Cubs were checking closely and getting the jump on Legion for possession of the puck, and it looked, for a while, as if it were just a matter of time before Lis- keard moved into a comfortable lead. | _In spite of an edge in play in the two initial periods, the Cubs were down one at the end of the first stanza, and could do no_ better than tie it up in the second. Legion had a big edge and the winning goals in the third. period, when the Liskeard offence sagged badly, and the back checking dropped off almost entirely. Black and Mooney scored for the Cubs. and the Legion goals came from Murdoch, Banach, McNab and Williamson. Referees Dave Smith and Clar- ence Watters handed out six pen- alties in the cleanly played game, each team getting three. At the game played in Kirkland on Sunday the Cubs couldn't do better than salvage a tie from the lowly Lions. John Haines scor- ed two, Peter Grant and Bill "White scored the other two.

Season... « - REV. C._E. PEACOCK - 7 bleak as the Hebrides,. the islands off the north-west coast of Scotland, different from the. beauty 'of the interior of Newfoundland, 'out with a= charm all of its own, 'stands Flat Island, the home . of | some 600 -people; the seene of our saga. Not. enough. soil. to = grow '| grass hence no cows and no milk for the children; her people know little of life's rich living but have -a richness of character and a grac-|: ious hospitality. for -which thing her people are known the world pover. In the years of our tefl the stu- dent minister of the church, that marked the largest building on the island, was a man with a multiple of jobs to do besides the tradition- al one of preaching. Among this list was that of keeping and using earefully the contents of the gov- ernment medical chest to care for the ills of the body. This was long ago in time before the government hospital boats with the doctors in clean white coats and of well train- ed skills. Many are the stories that could be told of those who came seeking help for their aches and pains but one remains outstand- ing, an old lady who lived in a shack at the back of the small rocky island. who came weekly to the manse dispensary for her lin- ement for her rheumatism and the cough medicine so necessary in a fog-laden climate. How she found enough to keep her body 'and soul together no one knew but herself and God... but to the surprise of everyone, and maybe to God Himself, the time came when she "'adopted" a baby girl, an orphan from Cornerbrook, a town~just in its infancy. The little child grew and thrived on the old lady's love and caré. "The summer gave way to the fall season and then the time came when Newfoundland "spread her 'cloak of shimmering - white and spindrift swirl and tempest fOar. came o'er the windswept Jand", The season of Christmas drew near. and the young people requested of the student minister the use of the- day school build- lady. But Aunt "Lucy". had failed, tion. A busy Christmas morning with the chureh service put thoughts of the old lady to one side but af- ter the noon meal the student min- ister and his bride-to-be loaded a hand sled with the presents and gifts of the community and made their way across the frozen rocks to the back of the island. The little shack showed signs of smoke from the stove pipe so they knew life was still there. They opened the. door, bent low to avoid the head striking the lintel and looked. Aunt "Luey",: too crippled to tra- verse the island the night before, had crawled outdoors with the kitchen knife and cut a shrub for a Christmas Tree. No room to stand it on the floor, it hung from the low ceiling. But it wasn't just the 'tree' 'that caught their atten- tion, it was what had been used for decorations by this loving 'adopted mother'. She had taken Eaton's. catalogue, which some then called "Newfoundland's bible"' and had cut out the coloured pic- tures of the dolls and toys and had hung them by slender threads of cotton upon the tree. The child's eyes were filled with rapture and it really needed not the presents of the island people added to its branches for I believe in her heart she thought that she had the best Christmas Tree in the whole world. Aunt "Lucy" has gone long years since to her eternal reward, the child has grown up and married happily and no doubt miany Christ- mas Trees have stood in her home down through the succeeding years but I doubt if there has ever been, or ever will be, one so wonderful bas the' gerub-cut out of the swamp | by crippled, rheumatic - scarred hands and decorated with. paper after many years of faithful. at- tendance, to come.to the celebra- ing down the avenue of time -- of the yesteryears, people poor in' everyone gave presents to every-j}this world's. goods but. rich in' one else -- little things like ten|things of the spirit, cent articles from the~store cata- pitality. and friendliness.
