I PÂ~ 70Y3a CAIiAD!AN UTATESMAN. EOWMAIEVff1LE. ~TTR~DAT. lAI! ErA. 1UU~ COLD BUT COZY hIs Isa wlnter night that can be savourtd and remembered. The windows are frosted and the thermnometer la hovering around zero; the winter stars shimmer àn the keen, cold air, but, within, the lighted Christmas tree sheds 4ts uoft glow and aIl is warm and pnug. It is just tht ight time for a cold snap, for tht tret is there ta make things gay indoors and fiends are visitîng in the holiday season. Tht wintry air only niakes thtelight and warmth nore anvltlng. The twelve days cf Christmas Were a time a revelry in med- laeval England, tht custam seem- Irigly belng carried aver from pàgan Uies when the dark days of the wlnter solstice were btightened with gaiety and feast- liii. In a northern climate it Welms a particulanly good idea. JUMPING DATE As for New Year's Day, it was Jullus Caesar who designated January lst as such, and it was iiot accepted for smre Urne. Tht old Roman customa was for the year ta begin on March lst, hence tht names of tht monthsj fieptembtr, October, November, and December, meaning seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth months. Thon for a long peniod, tht day was celebrated on March 25th, the feast day o! tht Annuncia- tion i Roman Catholic and Anglican Churches. In England, until William the Conqueror's time, December 25th was celebrated as New Year's ]Day, but William's coronation U. oceurring on January lst, he ard- son, ---i the year ta commence on on Moi date, but England gradually Mr..

Anne Meriil in her always interesting column, Wings in tht Wind in tht Globe and Mail, quotes from a book by John Tobe o! St. Catharines ta tell us why and haw rnistletoe gets up inta tht hîgh branches of oak and elm trees. Tht vine Io a parasite cf course, and tht bernies are evi- dently relished by tht birds. But tht bernies are very sticky and when a bird gets ont in hîs beak he fltes up ta a high branch where he pecks away against tht bark ta dislodge tht meaty part. In daing so, the seeds are forced undtr tht bark, and there they grow and flaunish. Mr. Tobe didn't know wee tht cannection between mistie- tot and kissing came in.A perverted sense of humour eol find some connection between a kiss and a peck we suppose. A NEW VOICE At a time when magazines in United States are folding up at a rather alarming rate, three major publications from August ta December, it is more than en- couraging ta learn that Canada has just establtshed a new ont. This is tht Atlantic Advocate, edited and published by John Michael Wardell in Fredericton, New Brunswick. It is reported ta be a magazine of menit and and substance, and a fine voice for tht Maritimes. Mr. Wardell is an Englishiman with a long carter o! jounnalism and pub- lishing behind hlm. who came ta New Brunswick In 1950, on Lord Beavenbrook's invitation, for tht fishing. Ht stayed, and bought tht Fredericton Gleaner, which he gneatly improved, establish- ing a book publishing company, a printing company, and now, the magazine, the Atlantic Ad- vocate, taken aven from tht Maritime Advocate, which was fading out. -January ~arance Sale (EFFECTIVE NQNA, u ýe Oirbfore moving. al apers and Borders at large reauctions.

Sureiy this isn't going te be a television world. TIMIE FOR ACTION And speaking cf that, we would like ta say a word about tht importance o! libranies. They were neyer more important than in this present time o! too Imuch television, tee many picture magazines, of crime comics and trash. A library is in tht same class as a university in that it is the source o! education, culture and the stimulation o! the mmnd. Why is it a community can afford an arena, a recreation depantment and a chamber of commerce, but refuses te ac- knowledgt the need and tht possibility o! an adequate libnary? Bowmanvilie's one-raom facilities are in the same class as tht littit red school house. It served its day, but this is a new day with broaden horizons, and many, many more people ta serve - especially many mort chiidnen. There is ne place for them in our present library. A library is only a different kind o! schoal, a wonden!ul kind a! school for chiid and aduit alike. Tht Library Board meets in tht library at 7 p.m., Jan. 8, ta receive reports and discuss what can be dont. Nothing will be dont until enough peopie de- mand that it shall be dont.
