What wish can be happier or more appropriate at this time of year? Itimplies interest for others thought for others, hope for others. It suggests 2 newer and a better attitude to lifeâ€"an attitude where the other fellow takes precedence and where goodwill and happiness are set above self and greed. "A merry Christmas!" At this time of yeal writers and speakers try to improve upon that anâ€" cient greeting. They may vary itâ€"extend upon itâ€"decorate itâ€"but their newer message will be found to base all its special virtue upon the amount of simple ‘"Merry Christmas‘‘ that may be left in it The Advance made a canvass of a dozen mer and women for something new, original, striking. in the form of a Christmas wish. It proved that what was good was not so new, and what was ney was not so good. After all the best that any oi them could do for the season‘s greetings was "A Merry Christmas!" "Why not," he fsked, "addâ€"‘"And a happy New Year!" â€" .. So to one an@'gain sincerely :â€" "A Merry Ch’ififiipa’sâ€"and a Happy New Year.‘ One man though'g he had a brilliant and idea when asked if there was anything he could add to that "MeprysChristmas" to make it better. Several gentlemen have written to the newsâ€" papers recently about the commercializing of Christmas. It would be better if they would note the Christmassing of.commerce at this time of year. These people seem to fear that business is using the Christmas spirit to foster trade and to make money. The truth would seem to be that in catering to the special Christmas trade the merchants are doing no more than meeting a deâ€" cided public demand. In the quantity, the quality, the variety of Christmas gifts offered, the stores are simply acting for the convenience and the satisfaction of customers. The displays of goods at Christmas time are a response to public needs and desires, and not an attempt to manufacture sentiment or create demands that would not otherwise exist. TD 4t stt 'oo~o"oo~oomW“ What may be termed the "Christmassing of commerce" is worth a special thought at this time. Instead of the stores using the Christmas spirit for their own ends, the Christmas spirit appears to be using the stores and staffs for its own extension., The very essence of the Christmas spirit is goodâ€" will and kindness to others and no place will these good things be found in greater degree than in the stores. toâ€"day. Courtesy is a policy Oof all stores at all times, but Christmas shopping brings out something far beyond courtesy or service. There is a patience, a desire to please, a wish to help, that takes much of the burden from the mm lt BP L P P PP P P PP C â€"AC O C CC P L AL LA O â€"AL P L C P â€"ALP PP M'MWW"WMM Olre Yorrutpins Aduvaurs Timmins, Ont., Monday, Dec. 23rd, 1935 Mark Bowile Ltd. ‘The Shop of ASHIONâ€"CRAFT Men‘s fire calf Romeo house slippers. solid leather zoles and heels.

Merchants and their staffs may be overâ€" worked, tired and under special strain at Christâ€" mas time, but rarely indeed do they show it. In the stores toâ€"day will be found the real spirit of Christmas,â€"â€"kindness, thoughtfulness, forbearâ€" ance and wish to please. No one need worry about the stores commercializing Christmas. Through the centuries Christmas has conquered all. A merry Christmas to all! And especially to the kindly, patient, thoughtful people who do so much to help the harassed shopper. * ts As, ies . i. 2.

Of course, something will be done! The people of Canada would not allow any children to be destitute at Christmas time. There are enough really kindâ€"hearted people in the country for that. The trouble is that there are too many sensationâ€"mongers who make an undue fuss about children like the Mahaneys. Such people are moved only by the love of the sensationâ€" al. This is proven by the fact that twelve years ago there were enough making a great ado about the Mahaneys when they occupied a unique posiâ€" tion. Since then the Dionne quintuplets have placed all lessâ€"unusual youngsters far in the shade. The Mahaneys indeed are lucky that they were allowed to keep the children. The Dionne parents may have a few dollars for Christmas, but would, no doubt, be better pleased had they not been deprived of their five children. The Mahaâ€" ney childrenâ€"three girls and a boyâ€"were born on Christmas Day, 1923. At the time they were exâ€" ploited by the sensationâ€"loving artists, but no goVvâ€" ernment adopted them to exploit them. In the passing years they have been forgotten. There is no particular disgrace in the public forgetting the birth of quadruplets, but it will be a shame, indeed, if any four children are known to suffer destitution at Christmas time, and no one moves to help them. The Christmas spirit must have a hard time in Toronto these days with a municipal election camâ€" paign in progress. There were some jpeople who objected to the hanging of a woman who was convicted of poisonâ€" ing her third husband. They said she was too old to be hanged. Now some are demanding that a youth of seventeen should not be hanged. He‘s too young for hanging, they assert. Just what may be the proper age to hang a person? Still others cry out against the hanging of a woman whom the doctors say is a moron. With young men, young women, old men, old women, all woâ€" men, some boys, morons and people with influence, a:l on the list of those who should not be hanged, it looks a determined effort to create more unemâ€" ployment by taking away the hangman‘s work. There is not likely, however, to be any general Bruno Richard Hauptmann, convicted of the murder of the baby son of Colonel and Mrs. Lindâ€" bergh, after a lengthy reprieve, is now officially sentenced to be executed on January 13th.

Christmas, 1935 Attempt at Suicide Charge Against Man Whatever our nationality or creed, tuberculosis is the common enemy of all mankind, ang although much has been done in the past, and the death rate has ‘been steadily lowered, we cannot rest content until viectory is within our grasp. The Canadian Tuberculosis Asâ€" sociation has played a notable part in the struggle, and there are many thouâ€" sands throughout the Dominion who owe their health and happiness to its *fforts. As Patron and Patroness of the Asâ€" sociation, we commend its activities to all our fellow Canadians, and especially those who at this season of the year have the welfare of children at heart. for in no sphere has the campaign been more gallantly waged than in protectâ€" ing children from the ravages of this terrible discase. Yesterday the police were notificd that Eugene Simard had drunk a quanâ€" tity of iodine in attempt to end his life, and the man was placed under arrest on a charge of attempted suicide. He has been in worried condition for some time past and very nervous.

There are also a number of cases on remand from last week. The docket includes several drunk charges. Rev. Christmas, the season when "peace m earth, goodwill towurd men," should 3e felt throughout the world, was the ubject of a message to the Timmins Lions Club qgelivered on Thursday by Rev. Father McManus. He told the seautiful story of the birth of Christ ind how it had affected the world; the Star of Bethlehem that had shone Government House, Ottawa As we look round the world toâ€"day, we see vast sums of money being spent on the forces of destruction, and yet how little in comparison is being spent in combatting one of the most deadly enemies of the human race, the scoaurge of tuberculosis. 10 brightly on that important night; the wise men who saw and followed it o the manger of the Christ Child. Lions Club work, he romarked, is akin to that spirit of peace on earth and goodwill. The work done by them for others and the friendly spirit in which it is accomplished are real indiâ€" cations of a determination to improve the world through servicse. Father McManus was introduced by Dr. Kelly, who told the Lions that their speaker hagq come to Timmins a few years ago from Noranda. His home had seen in Pembroke diocese and he had received his education at St. Augustine seminary in Toronto.
