cold." , —E‘.i1en Manby

Last December there appeared in the Buick Magazine, published by the Buick Company of General lvlotors. the story which follows in part:

Almost every day of the year, ‘old Hilda bent over the laundry tubs ln soincbodysbaselnelit,scrub- bing away‘ with a right good will. But on Christmas she rested.

All aflc-rnouil. she sat by the

Window in ilcr cozy flat, idly wat- ching the tumbletlolvn house across the street. Every now and then. she wdilld see a little girl push back the curtains from a grimy window and pcer anxiously down the snow-covered street. | Usually. Hilda concerned herself not at all about her neighbours. ‘For she was up every morning be- iforc daylight and oll‘ to her work lin another part of the city. And lit was dark \\‘il(‘ll she returned. But today the anxious face of the ‘little child made her wonder. l By nightfall. she could stand it no longer. Vlcll muffled up in her own shawl, she hurried across the street.

In a cold and cheerless rroom -she found the little girl still wait- ing-sobblng now-sure till-rt she had been a very, very naughty lit- tle girl. because Santa Claus, who comes to all good children, had passed her by.

Orrllilai-llv, Hilda was a truthful person. But now, in her efforts to comfort the little girl. silo stretch- ed feels a little. Santa Claus, she explained. is an extremely busy old rrenilcliian. Sometimes. it is simply impossible for him to rcnch every- one on Christmas Day. To thous- ands of homes, he comes on the

The home to which Hilda ap- pealed for help was the home of a, man who drew pictures for a newspaper. l-Ie never forgot that bare, cheerless room to which he helped Hilda carry Chrlgtmag b”- kets. It saddened him to think that there were thousands of othar little girls who, every year, would‘ wait in vain for Santa Claus.

The following December, he drew a picture of that little girl. He showed her sitting with heﬂﬂ bow. ed in grief at a. rickety table from which hung a little empty stock- ing. Beneath the picture, he let- tered a single word: “Forgottenf

“We can't use it." he slim. "It would spoil ‘Christmas for 3 lot of people."_

"I want to spoil Christmas for everybody who has remembered 0111!! himself." the cartoonist re- plied. The editor saw the point. The cartoon was published.

Hundreds of times, it: has been reprinted since then. It has been called "Tile cartoon that opened a million hearts.” and it has made famous the name of its creator, Tom May. of Detroit.

From the heart stlrrings that it caused. there came into being many well-organized _ movements dedicated to the one purpose: "No clllld without a Christmas."

That is the motto of the Santa Pal Department which is your de- partment. We assist you in your desire to llrovlde a. "Christmas for every child."

Parliament Will Open January 27

(C. P. by Guardian's Special ivire) OTTAWA, Dec. l(l—l’arlia- mcnt will open Jan. 27 what many political observers pro- phesy will be one of the most

Possibility that during the session the preferences nn the British market enjoyed by Canada. since the 1932 Imper- ial Economic Conference may be at stake in trade negotia- tions between United States and United Kingdom lends added interest to speculation on the parliamentary program.

Last year Parliament mct Jan. 14 and was prorngucd late on the evening of April 10. Then ‘here was every reason to hurry through the business of the session because a largl- section of the Government and many private members were Kohl! to London for the Coron- ation.

Mr. Clifford Rogers then gave a demonstration of petting, grad- lng and the valuation of pelts. He also discussed the marketing sde

of jherecent Muzlircalsales. Mr Roget's stressed the nerd for ranchers to concentrate on pro- dueing only the llljlllC"'t grades of silver-foxes. He complimented ihei ranchers on their very fine col- lection of furs. Rev. Mr. Phillips spoke briefly and thanked thei ‘various speuikers and others who hadinterested themselves in the show.

Many of the skills were bought on consignment and it. is expected that tome buyers will go up from Summerside today to pllTChflSe for cash.
