THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT Are you willing to forget what you have done for other people and remember what other people have done for you; to ignore what the world owes you, and to think what you owe the world; to put your rights in the background, and your duties in the middle distance, and your chances to do a little more than your duty in the foreground; to see that your fellow men are just as real as you are, and try to look behind their faces to their hearts, hungry for joy; to own that probab- ly the only good reason for your existence is not what you are going to get out of life, but what you are going to give to life; to close your book of complaints against the universe, and look around for a place where you can sow a few seeds of happinessâ€"are you willing to do these things even for a day? Then you can keep Christmas. Are you willing to stoop down and consider the needs and the deâ€" sires of little children; to remember the weakness and loneliness of people who are growing old; to stop asking whether your friends love you, and ask yourself whether you 10Ve them enough to bear in mind the things that other people have to bear in their hearts; to try to understand what those who live in the same house with you really want without waiting for them to tell you; to trim your lamp so that it pwill give more light and less smoke, and to carry it in front so that your shadow will fall behind you; to make a grave for your ugly thoughts, and a garden for your kindly feelings, with the gate openâ€"are you willing to do these things‘even for a day? Then you can keep Christâ€" mas . The Reeve and members of the 1927 council have had a strenuous year and have been called upon to devote an even greater amount of time to the town’s business than has been demanded in previous years. A great many important works have been undertaken and in all lines of endeavour the Reeve and Council have worked overtime in an effort to secure the very best value for the municipality. A lot of money has been spent but We are absolutely sure that all work was under. taken only after great consideration and after all members of the council were satisfied that the expenditure was in the best interests of the village. ‘ Are you willing to believe that love is the strongest thing in the worldâ€"stronger than hate, stronger than evil, stronger than deathâ€" and that the blessed Life which began in Bethlehem nineteen hundred years ago is the image and brightness of the Eternal Love? Then you can keep Christmas. And if you can keep it for a day, why not always? But you can never keep it alone RICHMOND HILL COUNCIL The tenture of office of the 1927 Richmond Hill Council is fast drawing to a close and the annual nomination day when the ratepayers will pass judgment on their elected representatives will soon be here. Reeve Lunau and every member of the 1927 council have given a great deal of time and thought to the towns business. They have giv- en a great deal more time to the work than the average ratepayer who does not closely follow municipal work ever imagines, as the calls upon such elected representatives are many and varied: They serve the town Without monetary renumeration and at the sacrifice of their own individual business interests and to them the ratepayers of this village owe a debt of gratitude. Doubtless they have sins of cm- mission and commission; probably they have done those things which they should not have done and have left undone many things that they should have done.

Cnn thflhn- m-v In: In“? on “An Not nearly as many forecasts about the coming winter have ap- peared this year as formerly and those that have been made are very indefinite. The failure of many prophetic warnings as to summerless summers and various kinds of Winters has had the effect of making people a little skeptical as to long distance forecasts. The coming winter will no doubt have as many storms and the average number of cold days. Advertising is the education of the public as to who you are, where you are, and what you have to offer in the way of Skill, talent, or commodity. The only man who should not advertise is the one who has nothing to offer the world in the way of commodity or servcie. At the last session of the Provincial Legislature an enactment was passed prohibiting children loitering in any public place after nine o’clock in the evening or being in any place of public resort or enter! tainment after that hour unless accompanied by a parent or guardian or an adult apponited by the parent or guardian to accompany such child. The onus is on the parent and a parent who permits his child to violate this law shall for the first offense incur a penalty of $1; for a second offense $2; and for a third or subsequent offense $5. There is also a responsibility on the part of the municipal officers, especial- 1y the police, who should be backed up by public opinion. we are tempted to lay all the blame for our municipal ills at the door 0f the council let us be mindful that the council has not an unlimited a- mount of money to spend and that there is a large amount of uncon- trollable expenditure. In any event we feel satisfied in assuring the ratepayers of this municipality that the business of 1927 was consci- entiously carried out by the elected representatives who endeavoured to the very best of their ability and judgment to administer the busi- ness of the village in the best interests of the people.

The Victoria Square J .W.I. held a meeting at the home of Miss Ella Nichols on Saturday, December 3rd. In the absence of the president the chair was occupied by Miss E. Mort- son. After the calling of the roll which brought to light several fine suggestions for inexpensive Christ- mas gifts, the gathering enjoyed a piano solo given by Miss Marion ‘Nichols. Miss Annie Avison then gave a full report of the Institute con- vention held in Toronto. Miss Thel- ma Evans also rendered a piano solo and the meeting was dismissed by Miss Mortson. A pleasant social period during which lunch was served brought the meeting to a close. Victoria Square Prompt and reliable telephone service is_ what you most want. That’s where you put the empha- sis most of the time. And that’s where we put itl But service means more than that to you; as it does to us. You want close. helpful attention to your personal needs when you call or visit the Business office. You want your bills to show clearly what you are charged for. You want the installer or repair man who visits your premises to do his work quickly, and with as little inconvenience to you as pos- sible. These and other details you want well handled. And on these. we. too, put emphasis. What we are trying to do is to bring the best efforts of a capable workman to bear on every feat- ure of your serviceâ€"to put our- selves at your personal disposal in your every contact with this company. A We both aim at a PERSONAL Service A notice was received from the est. ate of the late Mr. Risebrough stating that action was commended for $10.- 000 damages as a result of an accident at Boyle’s Pond this summer which re- sulted in fatal injuries to Mr. Rise- brough.
