© nt 8 - PORT PERRY, ONT. ~ Tuesday Deg. 24, 196 A ------------ OS CIN Isn't Christmas A Drag Continued on unless all of us folk of every race and nation, are will- ing to live together as mem- bers of one great family. It's only selfishness and stupidity that makes us think, that this problem or that, affects only one nation or another. Every problem of any size affects every nation. If one part of the human family suffers the other members suffer with it sooner or later. The common sense of things would suggest that we should pool our problems and begin to con- sider them together in this spirit; including the old wrongs, and the old resent- ments, and old misunderstand- ings. . Further, we should do it soon. There's not a lot of time left. Fear has a lot to say, these days. So as suspicion, why should not goodwill have its say at last, and what could be a better time than Christ- mas time and NOW. I am convinced that the vast majority of people ARE PEACE LOVING PEOPLE. How can they be anything else, unless. we've all gone mad. I'm convinced too, that if we would only forget our fears and be ready to give up a bit of our pride, there's any amount of Goodwill of race towards race, and man ' towards man, WES in 1968: X but that Goodwill finds too little expression, I wish Christ- ian folk of every nation and every denomination could give unitedly to. the rest of the world a sign of their common faith, and common humanity; the common feel- ing, desire and purpose that unites them all. I believe God expressed Himself in Jesus, in the simplest and the only way He could. He came to show us that Goodwill and Love was the only way to live, unless we were determined to bring on our own destruction. So let's go on expressing our love and friendship at Christ- mas and beyond. And put up a little prayer for the astronauts, circling the moon, that they might come back safely, yes, but more. There are many hungry homeless people on earth to- day, while immense wealth is being put into the colonis- ation of the moon. God give us grace to learn the wisdom of cleaning up the earth first. There are millions of members of our family here, who need our help and Good- will, so that they may learn to live a decent life. Can we afford to ignore them? May you have a Happy Christmas and a Better World a a LANE Plumbing Heating - Electric - PORT PERRY, ONT. OFFICE 985 2473 Res.

This Centen: nial year has been a boon to Stamp collectors as we have had so many new and attrac- tive stamps besides the cen. tennial stamp boxes. You would be surprised at the many different ways peo ple have of putting on stamps. If they don't like the taste of mucilage they lick the corner of the envel ope. One gentleman, some years ago took the stamo to the corner and spit at it un- til he hit it. A lady put the stamps on her letters and sat on them until they dried. Then there is the rest of us who lick it, stick it on, give it a pat and hope it:stavs. One lady of the village wouldn't lick any stamps but those with the picture of the queen. When we had 4c. post- age some stamps came with Mackenzie King on them. She bought 3c. and 1c. as she said she wouldn't lick Mac- kenzie's back.
