VANDELEUR Hajijiy New Year to the editor and staff and all readers of The .Advance. The annual Christmas tree enter- tainment whiih was held in the church on Friday evening of last week imder the auspices of the local public school was a defclded suc- cess in every particular. A good supper was .served by the ladles In the ba.sement of the church, after which a fine program was rendered In the auditorium. The progri'm was put on largely by the children and con- sisted of dLaloRues, choruses, drills, readings, iiiu.sic, etc. Kev. H. S. Warren acted as chairman and Mrs. Geo. Buchanan presided at the organ. Following tlie program Santa Clau.' made his arrival, in the person of Mr. Gordon iWyville, and unloaded the tree. ' The teacher, Mr-. II. Thomp- son presented a number of prizes foi attendance. First prize went to Miss Pauline Hutchinson, who had a per- fect attendance for the entire year. Hiiliard Fltzsininu.ns was presintod with a copy of DIcken's, "Life of Our Lord" for securing the second largest number of points at .Artemesia school fair. ."several other fine prizes wert also presented.

Graham Is slowly recover- ing from his recent eye trouble. ! ACKNOWLKl>CE THBIK Uliins (Alllston Herald) Saturday was the day a whole lot ( f war debts were due in the United .States. Millions upon millions of dol- lars were due but so far as the news despatches of Monday Informed the world none were paid. War debts are dead. They were the millstone around the neck of the world that was pull- ing it down to ruin. Yet the British government Insisted that it has "nc intention of repudiating Its obllga- lion." France dedaro-s that It "does not contest the validity of Its debt." Yet none of the countries of Kuroi)e, or very few of them If any, pay their obligations. Since- the Hoover mor- atoj'ium, when It was hoped the Un- ited States would see the light and cancel the debts, that country received from Britain $98,00(1,000 in the first payment, $11,000,000 in the second payment, $8,000,000 as the third and on the fourth, la.st June, when Biitaiii and France refused to pay anything, the States received $166,000. Since the cessation of war debt payments the economic situation In the world has changed and will continue to im- prove with no more dubts paid. Jusl the same Britain and Fiance would like to make a settlement of sonu kind with the United States. BOTH AIU: QUEER Call a girl a clikk and she smiles; call her a hen and she howls. Call a yoimg women a witch and she Is pleas - i»d; call an old women a witch and !u' is indignant. Call a girl a kitten :ind she rather likes It; call a woman a cat, and she hates you. 'Womon are queer. If you call a man a gay dog, it will Hatter him; call him a pup, a hound, 1 a cur, and he will try to alter the • up of your face, lie doe-n't mind !><ing called a bidl or bear, .vet he will oB^iect to being inentloni^l as a calf oi a cub. Men are i|urer, too. The town of Orlllia is paying be- tween 150,000 and 60,000 interest an- nually. Mount Forest has a |>opulation of 1826. according to the asses.ior's fi- gures.

We up.lerstand that, to secure re- sults, it is much better to teach what to do rather than to emphasize what not to do. This is an occasion, how- ever, when We will disregard what we agree to be sound pedagogy, because •.ve do not know how to present oui subject other than as a series of warn- ings, or "Don'ts". Did you ever wonder why ambu- lances rush around the way they do ill most cities, with siiens blowing dodging in and out through the traf- fic? And have you read in thi! papei how the Injured person was "rushed' to hospital in a motor car, Once in a while speed Is necessary to save life but only once In a long while do min- utes count. Except in these rare cases, don't rush for if you. do, you only jar the patient with sudden turns and quick stops, and, at the same time, you may Injure someone else. Don't rush, but don't delay. Minutes sel- dom count but half-hours do. Some people have wha' ajipcars to be an uncontrollable urge to Inves- tigatf things by sticking their fingers into them. Don't put your fingers into cuts. Do not poke at your own or at the eyes and cars of anyone else Fingers carry germs, and infection must be feared. Don't ru.sh to the medicine chest for a laxative when you have a pain in your stomach. The one time you should never take a laxative is when there is a pain in the abdomen. To do so \a simply to court disaster, be- cause uniler some conditions, the lax- ative may be a stick of dynamite. This is the case when it is an acutely inflamed appendix which has caused the pain. Don't Insist on giving advice un- less you. are sure you know what you are talking about. There is nothing urgent about getting a person home or putting him to bed if he has had a fainting spell. He is usually much better to remain where he is- for a time .Any extra effort cau.sseil by movement may be the straw which breaks the camel's hack of a weakened heart. Don't feel that you must do some- thing. If you do not know the right thing to do, it Is likely a kindness on your part to do nothing, as otherwise Remember that speed Is seldom nee es.sary, and that untrained, however well-meaning, hands do harm. Joy For The Kiddies .Smokers of Buckingham tobacco in this district contributed to the happi- ness of the needy children this Christ- mas when over fifty toys were dis- tributed on Monday through the ef- forts of Flesherton L.O.L. .No. 2855 The empty cartons from cigarette.s and tobacco were.savejd and .sent to the Tuckett Tobacco Co. and the toys sent in proportion to the number of packages returned. There were many fine toys in the shipment that would delight many boys and girls on Christ- mas nrorning who w.>uld otherwise not have any Christnias. SHOULD ORGANIZE A DRIVE It was announced last week that a genuine wolf was at large in the city of Toronto and parents were warned to keep their children under surveil- lance. This is nj surprise to people residing outside the city limits, as many an investor has learned to his cost. In the past, many of these an- imals did not even deign to put on sh<?eps' clothing. Now however they appear to have come more Into the open. There is danger that the old bogtown of the past will be obliged to change its cognomen to Wolfvllle. The question is which is parted more quickly, a fool and his money or a woman and her secret. A young lady, finding herselt stranded in a small town, asked an old man at the^ station where ihe might spend the night, 'There ain't no hotel here," he re- picd, "but you can sleep with the station agent." "Sir! " sh ixclaimed, "I'll have you know I'm a lady." "That's all right," drawled the old man. "So is the station agent." Eastern Star DANCE will be held in the Fraternal Hail, Flesherton .
