Cum PffdTnMlu Dearborn Farm says Christmas is over and boxing day is over Somebody was asking me just how boxing day got its name So far as I know it began away back in ancient days in Britain when on Christ mas Day an earthenware box was placed in churches so that people attending church service might place coins or even gifts in it for the poor and needy of the parish This was a special offering for always the Christ mas collection the regular col lection of money not otherwise designated was a gift to the clergyman and his family On the day following Christ mas or I should say the first weekday after Christmas these boxes were opened and the con tents used to provide gifts for the needy The box seems to have thus given its name to the day after Christmas of boxing day We use the expression Christmas box quite uncon cerned meaning in these days gifts interchanged between friends and relatives but I feet sure that the old custom started it the old custom of placing the box in church on Christmas Day for coins and gifts If anyone has a better explanation please let us know I expect everybody heard the Kings Christmas speech last Monday Somebody said it was the 13th Christmas speech since he ascended the throne He quoted from Pilgrims Progress and said No matter what hap pens each of us must say to ourselves these immortal words of John Bunyan I will not be afraid And we sincerely add our voices in the familiar words of the National God Save the King Yes Christmas is gone for an other months but who of us dare predict what will take place before another Christmas comes around The world is such a different place nowadays to what it was when we were children before war No and war No Will we have to add war No Who can tell This Is Saturday and a new year will have dawned before you read my words How many good res olutions have you broken since Monday Do you recall me once saying in my Golden Glow col umn that we should make good resolutions even if we can never hope to keep them and some body said Yes good resolutions were like pie crust made to be broken Lets change the sub ject Another Party I want to tell you about an other delightful party this week jit wilt long remain in the mem- lory of each of us who was I there It was indeed a privilege and alas one that will not likely be repeated for some time for why The one who made it pos sible lives in Prince Rupert I had better be more coherent more explicit and start at the beginning One of Newmarkets former daughters Gladys daughter of the late Mr and Mrs Wm St formerly of the Office Spec ialty went through public and high schools hero and then went on to be a teacher and was on REAL ESTATE Listings Invited for town and farm properties also small acre ages and cottages

its best loved teachers Mr and Mrs and daughter Ann now live in Prince Rupert BC and are down here spending Christinas holidays at the home of Mr Mrs Harry Hill on the corner of Park and Victoria Ave It was at the home of Mr and Mrs Hill that this delightful party was held and besides the social side of it we have to add the extraspecial enjoyment of seeing colored taken by Mr whom we all delight to call by his boyhoods name of Barney films taken from the time they were married right up to the present We saw small Ann grow up to her pres ent status of 12 years we saw films of their home in different places summer and winter scenes We saw films of a visit down east when Mr and Mrs were living saw most delightful films of her sis ters and home when Mr and Mrs Hill lived on the farm between here and Aurora and saw several other former citizens of Newmarket who since have passed on in those pictures including Mrs J Collie a very special friend of Mrs and well loved by every Anglican that knew her Then the pictures changed to BC with scenes taken from the moving train and we saw the glorious scenery through the Rockies with Barney and Gladys telling us interesting items as they did from the start I should have stated before that we went into Mrs next door for the pictures for Mrs Black- well has a splendid long room and it comfortably accommodat ed the or 50 guests and later we went back to Mrs Hills for a bountiful lunch and guess what We were treated to delicious sandwiches made from salmon caught by Barney canned by Gladys and brought down here to show what a real salmon tastes like I knew of course having lived there for a year and again in a second visit for nearly a year and BC salmon well you just have to sample it to know Cant Leave Films Mrs Hill kept up the Christ mas spirit with Christmas cake and Christmas small cakes and we had a delicious lunch and such a merry time But I cant leave those films yet for we saw Barney and his brothers catch ing salmon off Prince Rupert and it was so fascinating we all liv ed it exactly as we saw it In fact it was so real when our boat was tossing around when a storm came up that somebody either Mr J Little or Mr Stanley Jones one of our local expert fisherman somebody anyhow called out with a laugh Ease up Barney or Ill be seasick We saw the fish caught with a line and hauled over the edge with a guffhook Great beau ties We saw halibut as well that delicious fish Oh and we saw a seal trying and trying to get a fish already hooked and how determined it was to that fish and it just couldnt understand why not Barneys brother played that fish and seal for some time and we had a wonderful view of it The seal even flopped itself clean out of the water at times We saw a hideous big fish Ive for gotten its name but oh what a mouth and cruet teeth We saw a whale saw sharks and then such lovely pictures of sea gulls and sunsets and sun risesl Such scenery wild and rugged And the storm it was really marvel lous I have only been half way up the half way to Alas ka but what memories Barneys pictures brought back and also what memories of fresh cooked salmon those sandwiches of Gladys recalled In New Westminster Victoria and Vancouver you can go to the fish market and select your purchase from a huge tank of live fish so you ore sure it is fresh If you never ate a fresh- caught baked stuffed fish then you have something to live for How Many Miles wonder how many miles by land and by sen we travelled last Thursday evening as Barney piloted us and Gladys explained It really was almost too good to be true If all the others took the same Keen enjoyment that I did then too will say a fervent thank you to Mr and Mrs and to our host and hostess Mr and Mrs Hill and Mr and Mrs Black- well I sec I have again exceeded my limit so I will have to end this altogether incoherent count of our enjoyable evening So wishing Gladys and Barney and Ann a safe journey home to Prince Rupert BC and to them as to all my readers a Happy New Year with good health es pecially and do make those New Years resolutions The shimmering effect of In tenselyheated air the ground seen on a
