_ THE ADVERTISER â€" Tuesday, Dec. 24, 1963 â€" Page ; The tree is up in the front room and its fragrance fills the house like a benediction. Ken and the children are decorating it. "Daddy, please let me put on one of the birds. . ." "Daddy, whose turn is it to put the star on top?" "Father don‘t you think it would be better if we changed this string of lights. . ." The goose is in the freezer, the mincepies and the sausage rolls and the fudge are made. The homeâ€"made Christmas candles, striped like football shirts and rather squat, as if they were made in soupeans (which they were) are ready for the table. The paper decorations â€" also â€" homemade â€" are drooping in the heat and Ken keeps pinning them higher because he is the giraffe in our house. The presents are mostly wrapped and hidden away. A smaller tree and goose, fewer presents, this year, but then it‘s been a bad year â€" the busâ€" iness failed, I had a muscarriage, our marriage struck a rough patch and Jade broke her engagement. I shall be glad to see the end of 1963 â€" and no doubt the world will too. It has been a year of tragedy â€" the senseless assassination of a great man, the horrible deaths of little children in Birmingham, the Longarone dam disaster, the plane crashes, the traffic accidents, the bloody violence that kept erupting all over the world. And yet I can see my blessings, big and small, lining up ready to be counted. The needle on the hiâ€"fi set is obviously going to last until Christmas is over. so we shall have music for the holiâ€" days. We live in a country where a man‘s dignity and privacy are usually respected. The children are well and we a‘ all together again this year (last Christmas Jade was in Bermuda.) 1 can play "Yankee Doodle" on the guitar as long as you don‘t rush me. ‘There is peace and love in the family.

FOR ANY OCCASiON ANYWHERE RHEA WILL SEND FLOWERS BY WIRE FLOWERS Compliment Her With The 180.000 known diabetics in Canada can now obtain a new cookbook containing recipes deâ€" veloped especially for them. The recipes range from cheeseburgâ€" ers to chicken chop suey and they‘re designed to make diabetic diet fare appealing to the diaâ€" betic and his family. As a result, the diabetic need no longer feel segregated at the dinner table, eating meals that are less tasty and attractive than other family members. The next meeting of the Etobiâ€" coke Local Council will be in the form of a Pot Luck supper at 6:30 pm. on Wed., Jan. 8 in St. Paul‘s, Rexdale, The guest speakâ€" er will be the Rev, Canon M. C. Robinson, Associate General Secretary of the MS.CC. To clean black silk, sponge it on the right side with strong cold coffee, then. when it‘s almost dry, press on the wrong side. HOUSEHOLD HINT Why a Canadian cookbook? It‘s a very important new step, says Dr, W. R. Feasby of the Canadian Diabetic Association in his foreword to the book. In the first place, Canadian eating haâ€" bits differ from those of other countries where cookbooks for diabetics have been published in the past. Secondly, there are imâ€" portant differences in houseâ€" hold measurements and diet standards from country to counâ€" trv. "Grave errors in construction of a diabetic diet" are possible if differences between Canadian and foreign weights and meaâ€" sures aren‘t taken into account, says Dr. Feasby. Dishes were tested for palaâ€" tability, appearance, ease of preâ€" paration and average cost. A prime consideration was the pleasure and satisfaction the reâ€" cipes selected can give. It‘s hopâ€" ed that the book "will mean more enjoyable meals and better health for more diabetics and their families throughout Canaâ€" da."

From ‘A New Look ... .. At Education |\ _ How would you like to attend |a resident adult college in Scotâ€" (land whose roots go back over (800 years and which is situated in the beautiful and exciting \coumrys.ide described in Sir \Walter Scott‘s famous novel? |_ Newbattle Abbey College. Dalâ€" ‘keith, is a modern teaching cenâ€" tre, but one with an unusually ‘interesting _ background. â€" King |David 1 was on the Scottish ‘throne when Cistercian monks built this place of worship and ‘throughout the ages it has reâ€" mained as a quiet sanctuary, eight miles from the bustling |city of Edinburgh. This year about 60 men and women, many of them in their late twenties and thirties, are getting the chance to "go back to school" for a period. They are studying English Language and Literature, British Constitution, Economic History, Logic, Philâ€" osophy, and other subjects which they missed during their schoolâ€" days. Some of them will follow up I‘ll be samplin this informal year‘s education over the holi with a university course, which now with the . usually leads to teaching or socâ€" season to one ial work. Others will return to‘the New Year by Joy McAllister That Certain Spirit industries ‘or the. professions, possibly to promotion or posiâ€" tions of more responsibility. No formal academic qualificaâ€" tions are required to enter Newâ€" battle College, but students must give evidence that they are genâ€" uinely interested in and able to benefit from courses in reading and tutorial instruction. Activity in social, political, or public afâ€" fairs is generally regarded as beâ€" ing good background experience for students. Another factor which may deâ€" cide whether or not an applicant is found to be acceptable is in the extent of personal efforts at selfâ€"education since leaving school. Has the intending student taken extraâ€"mural courses or classes with organizations like the Workers‘ Educational Assoâ€" ciation for instance? The atmosphere at Newbattle is, apparently, one of informality and inspired encouragement. Tuâ€" tors attempt to help students study without feeling the strains and stresses of college life. All students attend five general lecâ€" tures each week, and they are reâ€" quired to specialize in two or three subjects in the curriculum. Examinations are held in Deâ€" cember and April to test indiâ€" vidual progress, A year‘s resiâ€" dence at the College costs 240 pounds sterling â€" about $625 â€" and students are often assisted by grants from local authorities. All this, of course, reflects the| very fine and noble spirit lhatl the Scots have cherished since time began â€" come to think of it I‘ll be sampling some of it mysel‘ over the holidays so I‘ll close now with the compliments of the| season to one and all.
