C, Dec. 19.—This aint “id-world” capital of Brit- }Lsh Columbja will put a Christmas touch to the empire’s current war- cry, “There Will Always Be an England!” The Mayor ot Viicria will pre- side at a traditional christening of the Yule Log, with all the pagean- | try of Elizabethan days, while civil- ians and officers of the three armed services. recess their war activitics for a brief celebration of the holi- day in the manner of their mother- land. The annual festival, staged in the rotunda and lounge of a large ho- tel, which resemble the entrance hall of some baronial manor house, will reach its climax on Christmas night. At the tea hour on Christmas Eve damsels in fichus and mob cans will serve crumpets and scones before great log fires. The next morning “waits” in ruffs will greet the merrymakers with carols and traditional chants. And when night falls, a proces- "I sion of ruffed and rapiered “lords” and their through “ladyes faire” the will wind . crowd singing old | songs of “Merrie England” while trumpeters blow and a jester tumbles ahead in cap.and bells. Then, to song and carol, the appointed seneschal will anoint the Great Log with “wine from Spain” and fat from the Christmas roasts, and the Mayor will fire the log with ritual almost as old as Eng- land herself. Later, as the crowds dine be- neath heavily beamed ceilings, the “boare’s hede” will be carried among them while trumpeters proclaim the time-hallowed event and the carollers chant. Then His Majesty's servants and their ladies will arise, lift their glasses and proclaim: ‘““There Will Always Be an England!” and go back to war. . NEW I’UBLIC HEALTH DOCTOR AT KETCHIKAN Dr. R. W.
