Let ua remember this im- portant tnith this Christmas season, for there is no name given under heaven among men whereby we must be saved, but the riameé' of Jesus. This Christmas season as we celie- brate the Lord’s birth and as we seek to please and honour Him in all that we do, let wy beware lest we become too engrossed with gifts, friends and relatives as to forget the many in Africa, India, China and Europe that have not the slightest knowledge of Christmas, that- have not gifts to enjoy, much lese any joy in the know~ ledge of sins forgiven due to the fact that they have never heard of the ‘Christ of Christmas that is able to cleanse from sin, and to give perfect happiness and joy such that the world cannot give.

CARD FROM
Mayor Robinson brought into the Star office this week, a Christmas card addressed to himself, but meant actually for the citizens of the Town
| of Wainwright,
The card was from the Officer Commanding Lord Strathcona Light Horse, Currie Barracks Calgary and inside was a personal hand written message to the Mayor, the Council and the citizens, This is a unit that visited the Wainwright Camp during the year, and no doubt~ appreciated the services rendered ‘to tnem by the towns people. a!
i By Ga T shal attend to

with the world, © are filled with the Christmas sptrit.
What is thie Chratmas spirit? What is there in the winter season. when the rivers are frozen and the trees are bare, and the earth is covered with | snow to suggest the’ warmth and glow of Christmas?
The Spirit of Christmas is the spirit of Christ, It is-He who sheds the bright rays of love over all the earth. It is He who makes us understand that God cares for even the least of bis children. It is He who calls to the weary and heavy laden, It is He who lightens our sorrows with the faith that we shall see our loved ones again It is God's will that Jesus the Christ should be the ruler of our hearts, and the Spirit of Christmas is a mes- senger sent from the court of heaven above to remind us that all who are wise will lay at the feet of the King the gold, frankincense and myrrh of an obedient life,
So let us once agair. gather in His house, and keep Christmas in the old
traditional way; with songs of praise
and a prayer for those who are home- less, those who are sick, and those whom we love wherever they may be, At the Holy Communion Table Jet us renew our allegiance to Him who is our incarnate Lord, As we remem- ber our friends with gifts, let us re- member those who are leas fortunate, for ‘it is more blessed ‘to give than to receive’.
A Merry Christmas to you all. May

These words from the story of the Nativity as told by St. Lake, guide us, as the star guided the wise men straight to the source of true Christ- mas joy to realization that this is above all a day of hope fulfilled, when mankinds’s long awaited Saviour was born in Bethichem, To the Christian heart, the Joy of Christmas is over- whelming; no bitterness can live in its presence, no sorrow can remain shanp under its healing consolation,
To you people of the Wainwright district, to our neighbors, to you all and those near and dear to you I ex- tend the greetings of the seagon, May every joy be yours on this best of all days. May the New Year be a blessed one,

No Star Next Week-
Following a custom that was inaugurated last year, we are- not igsuing a paper during the week of December 29th, which will give our staff a weil earn- ed rest. Also during this time plans are now nade whereby We will be able to give the machinery of our production assembly an annual going over,
Yor the past year we have continued to publish two papers each week, as well as a heavy velume of job printing. This has meant burning the mid- night oil for long hours, even as much as 60 to 70 hours a week, In that time the equipment has beco:ne run down with little or no time to make overhauls.
We trust that our readers and advertisers will bear with us in this matter, and on January 7th you will find your STAR t again in your mail box.

Mrs, Santa Claus
Last Christmas. our’ local jewelry store added two new departments we never had carried before, One was a toy counter, where a selection of movie dolls was featured, The other ~—an optical department—catered to the trude who could not afford plas- seg unless they could arrange to pay for them on credit.
Visiting the shop the night before Christmas, I watched a tiny little girl—I'm sure she couldn’t have been
more than six-—standing before the-
already depleted doll counter Her eyes were big as she looked up at the one doll still unsold, and there was a child’s longing in them as she tugged at the tattéred Overall jacket of her father, busy talking to the optome- trist, ;
“Daddy,” she called, her voice shrill with excitement, “look! Isn’t it the darlingest thing? Do you think Santa will bring it to me?”
The man’s tired face’ turned to- ward her, and a hurt expression flush ed across it settling hopelessly in the gray eyes. “’Fraid not, Mary,” he angwered, “I saw Santa in 4 store down the street a while ago, and he said that no’d be about out of every- thing by the time he reached our house, Reckon he might have some sweets, or maybe a rag doll, though. And he’s promised for sure to bring those glasses.
“Oh!” Tears were in her eyes, but she fought them back bravely, and her worn coat sleeve wiped the last trace of them away,
“I did so want one of them,” whispered. “But I’m glad Santa isn’t going to bring it to me, It meang that he's found someone else who wants it even worser than I do, don’t it, Daddy?”
“Come on, Mary,” the optometrist called, taking the ifttle girl by the hand, “Santa tuld me to see what kind of ylasses you should have, 80's to be sure he'd get it right, Now just sit in this chair and do as I say.”
The examination didn’t last long, and I wag still there when it was completed, The optometrist turned to the father. “I'll make a special effort to finish them tonight,” he said.
He was back soon, a slip in his hand. “I've fixed it with the man egement, A dollar now, and a dollar @ month until the balance of five dol- lars is paid.”
Mary had returned for @ final look at the tov. “Don’t you think, Daddy, that the glasses could come as a birthduy present, and—oh, I did want a doll so badly! But—but I won’t cry”
Her father hadn’t heard, He was busy feeling in his pockets for the dollar needed for the down payment. He found a lean wallet, and from it pulled a quarter and seven dimes, He counted them over twice, a scared look on his face, then began a renew-
ashe
‘e@ gearch. Triumphantly, he finally
produced an eighth dime, and handed the silver to the optometrist.
As the man in overalls and his elfin daughter started toward the
door, the girl behind the dol' coun-
ter locked at the optometrist, then at me, a tear in her eye. Then she ran after the pair. “Wait a toment— isn’t your name Mary?” she asked, “Uh-huh?” the liitle girl anawered, bewildered. , “Then I guess Santa meant you. He was here just a few minutes ago, and said he had a doll for a little girl
side, looking up at her, whisper@d, awe in her voice.
As the door closed behind the pair, the girl took her purse from her bag
and looked inside,
“Mrs, Santa Claus, indeed!”
heard her mutter, “Lucky for me this § is pay dey, or Mrs. Santa wouldn’t
eat tomorrow.”
School Hockey The Wainwright School hockey team defeated
day, December 18, on Irma ice,
The locals lost little time in mov- § ing to the front scoring in the early ‘minutes of the first period, This ef- fort was worth a goal in atty league, Rasmussen carried the puck down ¥ centre ice, As he hit the blue line he flipped a pass to Stiles on right wing & who cut in smartly towards the goal, & faked a shot and drew the net minder § Rasmussen % the % return pass and he made no mistake

hear disparagement of Christmas as “ season of vanity, selfish display, greed and covetousness that we like to point out the other side,.Some of our cynics declare, that Christmas gifts are themselves dictated by self- -interest—that they are meanly of- “fered in the hope of a return—with interest—or are an exhibition of van- ity. And yet, who would dare to say. this of a mother, who deprives her- self to give happiness to her children, or of the girl who willingly foregoes some little vanity for the pleasure of her parents? People who make Christmas a burden and a tax show the same attitude throughout the year—their own false standards of § living are to blame, and not this holy &% festival. 4

St. Francis Was First. To Popularize Custom Of Christmas Carols
St, Francis of Aasisi is accredited as having been one of the first to popularize the custom of singing carols at Christmastime. He taught the faithful and simple melo dies, and the saying goes that, over- joyed by the success attending his présentation of the first Christmas Crib in 1228, he burat into joyous vocal recitation of the gospel story,
Hymns in honor of the nativity were written as early as the 4th cen- tury, but these monotonous church chants neither properly nor music- ally ante-date our modern carols, Ex- perimentation with modal and inter- vallic relationships during the 15th century, together with the folk songs and minatrelsy of the times, made definite contributions to the tradi-
music, Puritan England forbade public
performance of carols; so for a while §
they travelled “underground” by
word of mouth, and “broad sheets” } printed annually, served to preserve |
the texts with a variance of acouracy.
When the restoration - of . English royalty voided the Roundhead Par- liament’s abolition of Christmas fes- tivities, residents of colonial Boston placed lighted candles in their win- dows to welcome the Waits who, re- @uming the Old English tradition,
went about the cjty singing carols on {
Christmas EX\ve:
“It came upon the midnight clear That glorious song of old—
The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing.”
