A descriptive piece recalls a winter scene in a big city where a self built corner club on a vacant lot provides a full winter ice rink with makeshift goals and improvised gear. It contrasts old time self reliance with modern community clubs and ends by critiquing commercialization of Christmas.
The piece argues for a balanced Christmas practice that blends spiritual meaning with family festivity, warning against both overcommercialization and excessive restraint. It cautions that moderation, not abstinence or excess, best suits the season across communities.
George C. Hitchman, assistant general manager of the Bank of Nova Scotia, was elected a National Director of the Canadian Cancer Society. Former Quebec division president and Montreal campaign chairman, he becomes National Campaign Chairman this year and aims to raise a record 3,287,000 dollars next April for research, education, and welfare. He has a 30 year career with the bank, with posts in Woodbridge, London Ontario, New York, Montreal, London England, and Edmonton before moving to Toronto in 1957.
Travel guidance for holiday trips emphasizes wrapping gifts in advance, packing them in a carton, and loading them last minute to avoid damage. If traveling Christmas day, children may open gifts before departure and may want to bring small, space efficient items to share with others.
A garbled holiday message mentions a canoe, weather, a car, and someone named Chris. It conveys warm wishes to avoid hazards and ends with Merry Christmas and a pleasant visit.
