Ottawa Officials Weigh Fire Fight Across City Line
Editorial notes Ottawa city leaders face a stumpers dilemma when fires occur just outside municipal boundaries. Should the fire department cross the line to save property and protect taxpayers inside the city? The piece argues a solution favors extinguishing blazes to shield Ottawa residents and investments, while acknowledging the broader policy questions. It mentions the post office debate over three versus two cent Christmas cards and reflects on changing customs.

After All Thank You's By ELM
The piece reflects on post Christmas etiquette thanking givers and recipients. It urges sincere good cheer in letters of thanks, notes the awkwardness of mismatched gifts, and suggests assuming gratitude unless clearly inappropriate. It also critiques overly formal writers and calls for warm appreciation.
This and That The Britisher Is A Card
British opinion of India is summarized in a Punch quatrain. The piece pokes at Nehru and Pandit while lampooning political and social quirks. It skewers car sales, forgiveness for missed cards, and Russia’s political peril with wry humor. The column ends with a playful take on holiday decor and a Kansas library joke.

Don Shipman surveys Leonard Mongeon of the National Retail Dry Goods Association who urges small stores to develop a distinct personality to build consumer loyalty and area identity amid rising supermarkets. He cites growth in the over 65 market and children’s business as fields to stress. Merchants lagged behind big retailers, risking survival without change. Ottawa merchants boost in-between holidays sales with brisk business and pre holiday rush similar to Christmas activity.
