When the battlc for Vimy Ridge was over, and the war casualties reckoned, it was found that a boy from Curran Ban lay among those who had paid tho supreme sacri- ficc.

SANTA'S RESIDENCE

'Tls in the heart the Old Boy livcs And in the wish to gladticn.

For he is Santa Claus who gives His time to chccr the sudden.

The Christmas stockings filled with toys

Set children's faces glowing

But there are countless other joys

That Santa comes bestowing.

For many a home will gayer be.

Though proud or humble ls it,

Where in the eyes it's plain to see That Santa's paid a visit.

Let children think that at the Pole He lives, as oft we're telling, But it is in Ute heart. and soul

Old Santa has his dwelling.

But. most. bod-makers, somehow, inakc morc than ihc one trip around. For thcsc, the Dcpurtmcnt of Agriculture has some astounding figures worked out by their ex- periment stations in Vermont and Indiana.

The average homemaker devotes 25 hours a year and four miles of walking to making up just one bed. If the bed has more than one blun- ket, it take: longer.

This means that 100 hours a year and 16 miles of walking urc re- quired to kccp four bccla ln ordcr for a 12-month period. ‘

However, by adhering strictly lo the “once-around" DTEICUCO, the 25 hours can be reduced to 1G and the four miles of walking can be cut to about a mlle and a fifth.‘
