Phone Thornhill 203 DECEMBER is here and with it lurks the “common cold”! Ontario citizens are reminded now of a few simple helpful rules to safeguard their health, and that of others. Prevention of the common cold is the responsibility of all, and if everyone plays his part much unnecessary illness, expense and discomfort may be avoided. With the holiday season looming ahead, when so much happiness depends on everyone feeling fit, why run the risk of“ catching cold ’»’â€"or letting members of your family face that danger ? In the interest of parents and families, the Ontario Department of Health recommends every Ontario citizen to study the common-sense precautions suggested below and act upon them.

Formerly of Gerrard Heintzman Work Guaranteed â€"- Free Estimates Phone Liberal Office, Tel. 9., Richmond Hill Mince pie was eaten in the 16th century as a symbol of the riches brought by the three wise men. It was filled with rich spices and prod- ucts brought from the Far East. Christmas feasting in the present day is pallid compared to what it was in days gone by. Turkey was firsi introduced in England about 1520 as a mild substitute for the traditional boa‘ ’5 head garlanded with rosemary and laurel. The exotic roasted pea- cock was also a favourite at early feasts. This has become an important part of Christmas in this country and the plan has been developed and enlarged by religious, civic and other organiz- ations in order to bring happiness to hundreds of thousands who would otherwise be overlooked at Christmas. The regular monthly meeting of the W.A. and W.M.‘S. met at the home of Mrs. Umehara on Thursday aterâ€" noon, December 16. The W.M.S. en- joyed a most worthwhile year under th leadership of Mrs. Moddle. The nominating committee, comprised of Mrs. W'ilkins. Mrs. Bovair and Mrs. J. Jennings, brought in the follow- ing slate of officers which was adop- ted as presented. Officers for 1948 will be: Hon. Presidents, Mrs. E. C. Moddle, Mrs. J. Paxton; president, Mrs. C. Beynon; sec-treas., Mrs. Hud- son; vice-president, IMrs. Harman; corresponding- sec., Mrs. Umehara; Missionary Monthly sec, .Mrs. W.

St. Nichols or Nicholas was Bishop of Myra in Asia Minor in the fourth century. He is patron saint- of Greece Russia“ and Naples. XMAS TRADITIONS The giving of gifts was instituted by St. Nichols, who is said to have appeared as an oldster with white beard, on horseback, carrying gifts for good children and switches for bad ones. Pelznickle, from the de- mon world, would accompany him, clad in a fur coat and carrying a switch. The Woman's Association has also enjoyed a most SUCCESSILA year. The financial report shows a balance 0f more than two hundred dollars. After slight revision, the following slate of officers was presented and adopted. iHon. Presidents, Mrs. Bovair, Mrs. J.
