Avoid overtaxing yourself, however, since fatigue and strain could cloud your judg- ment -- especia.ly during mid- June, August and early October.

The December meeting of the Mary Street Home and School Association was held at the school with Mrs. William Broad: bent, vice-president, presiding. Mrs. Broadbent welcomed those present. Room count was taken with banners going to Mrs. Harry Keys' room for the Junior de- partment and Mr. Gerald Harper's room for the Senior department. The guests then assembled in Mrs. Keys' room where the school choir, under the direction of Mr, Gauer, with Mrs. Keys at the piano, sang several sea- sonal numbers. Mrs. William Saunders thanked the choir, Mr, Gauer. and Mrs. Keys on behalf of the parents. The children were then served refreshments With Christmas Greetings By GARY C. MYERS, Ph.D. At this time of year many persons say to one another, "Happy Hanukkah" instead of "Merry Christmas", Indeed, some Gentiles say "Happy Han- ukkah" to their Jewish friends and neighbors, who may gra- ciously reply, "Merry Christ- mas," I spent many years teaching. As I recall, it was a custom of some of us teachers on the last day before the Christmas holidays, to say to the children at the close of school, "Merry Christmas". I also recall that I often had a number of Jewish children in some of my classes. GREETED ALL I wish I had said to these classes "Merry Christmas'? and "Happy Hanukkah". Maybe then some of the children would have said "Happy Hanukkah" to their classmates as they left home, feeling it as proper and cordial as to say "Merry Christ- mas" to others. The procedure would have fostered the spirit of kindness and good will which prevails by the jadies of the association executive. The meeting reconvened and the Religious Education chair- man, Mrs. Bruce Sonley, intro- duced the guest speaker, Mrs. H. A. Mellow who spoke on "Holding Christmas". Mrs. Mel- low's thoughts were that peopl OIL THE MOLD For easy unmoulding of a gela- tin dish, home economists at Macdonald Institute, Guelph, suggest that you lightly brush the mold with salad oil before adding the jelly mixture. should hold on to the Christmas spirit all year, and not just re- member it at Christmas time; that peace on earth and good will towards men should be re- membered always. Mrs. Mellow extended the season's greetings to everyone and continued by saying that gifts can be given spiritually without - . costing expressed the appreciation of the group to Mrs. Mellow, among most of us around this time of year. TEACH THEM Also, if I were a Sunday school teacher again in a Chris- tian church school, I would take the opportunity to help my chil- dren learn about Hanukkah, which usually comes near Christmastime. I would consider doing so to be a means of fur- thering the spirit of good will, understanding and neighborly love. I would, of course, have no quarrel with others who pro- ceeded differently. RELIGIOUS FEAST This year the celebration of Hanukkah begins at sundown this evening and lasts for eight days. While it, like Christmas, has: its. religious emphasis, it also has its merriment and ex- change of gifts. Hanukkah, "The Feast of Lights", in Jewish families eel- ebrates the restoration of the freedom to worship as they please, They retell the story, older than our Christmas story, and it goes like this: Once upon a time there was a wicked king named Antiochus in Syria. With a huge army, he took Jerusalem away from the Jews and tried to make them worship idols. He deformed Judas Maccabeus, arose, organ- ized an army of Jews and over- threw the Syrian king and re- stored their temple. The happy Jews rushed back to the temple to clean it. Then the priests wanted to light the perpetual light. They needed pure oil for that. All they could find was one jug of oil, enough to last for a day. they had*time to make plenty of pure oil, lighted for eight days every Hanukkah.
