sweeping majority.
But even while this election in
Ontario was going on, the change
in the West had begun-a change
which in three years would com
pletely reverse the Canadian liquor
policy.
British Columbia was the first to
about face. It's voters adopted the

But not so generous. Even at

on him?
Probably not from the stand
point Of dollars and cents. A large
fraction OF the sum annually ex-
pended for Christmas presents is
squandered for useless, foolish ar
ticles of no earthly benefit to the
recipients. Carloads of gaudy neck
ties that no one wears. that remain
in their festive boxes until used
to tie up the wounds OF the bath
room plumbing, fireproof cigars,
and so on down lengthy list.
Sure. it's all extravaganza fool
ishness. But It's great to be ex-
travagant and foolish one day in
the year. There are 364 other
days that one can be serious and
sensible and calculating.
Santa Claus Is a myth. And the,

wasteful. But 1t produces a glow
deep down inside, does something
to our spirits, that beats all the
