It is said that no peasant in Sweden will sit down with his chil- dren to Christmas dinner until he hés provided food for the birds. The farmers erect polies in the doorâ€" yards to which sheaves of grain are bound to provide f0r birds thrOugh the season when vegetatiOn is cov- ered with snow and iCe. This ‘Will Help the Great Cause and Also Assure Value to Buyers. This Christmas spirit is the real Santa Clausâ€"a spirit that is uniâ€" versalâ€"that groWs stronger with the years â€"- that brings out the best in us â€"â€" a spirit that is made up of kindly thoughts and deeds, of hall- owed memories and of “Good Will" to all. This Christmas time everyone should buy British goods as much as possible. Of course, Canadian goods are British, and yvhen all oth- er parts of the Empire are included it means a wide field for choice. It is worth noting that “buying Brit- is ” in the Wider sense of the terms means getting quality goods, no mat- ter what line is concerned. In buy- ing British goods not only is the Empire’s industry supported, but the exchange situation is also helped materially. “Buying British” as The Liberal has said before, means sending a message of cheer and good will and affection to all in the Em- Sir Henry Cole an English social and educational reformer invented‘ the first Christmas card. It was six inches long and four inches wide and depicted in the panels formed by a leafy trellis two acts of charity â€" clothing the needy and feeding the hungry. pire Accordingly, it is well to ask for British goods â€"â€" to prefer British goods. British products are quality products and cost no more to-day than foreign goods. “Buy British” and thus say “'Merry Christmas” to the Empire. The Red Cross Campaign which had as its objective $5,000,000 for Canada, by December 9th reported receipts ‘of $5,904,989. All provinces except Alberta exceeded the object» ive. Ontario went over its object- ive by over $400,000. The loads of Christmas trees go- ing down Yonge Street cause many people to wonder that destruction of such young trees is allowed. As a matter of fact we are'assured most are cut out from dense growth and the bush does not suffer, rather benefits from such thinning. Comparative wholesale prices of food commodities from 1914 to 1940 reveal that in this war price levels have been well] maintained and the consumer has little cause for com- plaint. Sugar for instance shows the following change in price: 1914, $7.11; 1916, $8.05; 1920, $17.90; 1939, $5.45; 1940, $6145.

The Richmond Hill High School Athletic Association held two enâ€" thusiastic meetings when two hoc- key clubs were formed, Norman Francis will captain the boys while Miss Winnile Simpson will hold a similar position in the girls’ clu'b. The Entertainment and Commence- ment Exercises in connection with the High School on Tuesday evening: passed off most satisfactorily, al- though, owing no doubt to the un- favorable weather, the attendance was not large. The talent was ex- cellent and Dr. Sisley of Maple made an admirable chairman. A pleasing break in the regular program was the presentation .by Dr. Sisley of about 4‘0 certificates and diplomas to pupils who had been successful at last summer's examinations. Before closing a vote of thanks moved and seconded respectively by Mr. Sand- erson and Mr. Lynett on behalf of the Board of Education, was tendâ€" ered to those who took part in the entertainment.

Harris of this Village, aged 33 years. Deceased died at Calgary, Alberta. Mr. John McMahOn of Winnipeg, Inspector of Timber for the C.P.R., spent a day or two with his brother, Mr. ‘T. F. McMahon, last week, the first visit to Ontario in thirteen Council Chamber Tuesday evening. Reeve Pugsley, who was chairman, explained that the meeting was call- ed to meet the wishes of many rate- payers, who thought that an asso- ciation of some kind should be form- ed to look after the interests of the village and make suggestions to the council from time to time: After an informal discussion it was:moved by Mr. P. G. Savage, seconded by Mr. George McDonald that we form ourâ€" selves into a Ratepayers’ Associa- tion. After another discussion in» which» Mr. Allen, Mr. Pratt, Mr. J. H. Sanderson, Mr. W.
