Where QUALITY Counts In this period just after the Christmas holidays, a period of reaction, our minds turn back to those marvelous good things which graced the festive board while we xvwv at home. We think of turkey, plum pudding, cranberry sauce, chestnuts, mince pie and lastly but not least of all—roast pig.

A FRIEND A short time ago a London newspaper offered a prise for the best definition of "A Friend." Among the many thousand answers which were received, the following is the one that was awarded first prize: The first person who comes in when the world goes out." The second prise was given to the definition sent in bj a small hoy. who wrote: A friend is a teller who knows all about von and likes you just the same." Both Of these definitions are worthy of
thought.
,
However, I believe the second definition is typical. In these days of harrying and moving From place t<> place we make many acquaintances hut few real friends. It is those we have made since childhood, our sclionlniatc.s and our college eluuiis who are our truest friends. In the ylamour of the new. we should ■■'>' ■ '•''' oi old and tried friend.
