The carefree and festive atmosphere so characteristic of the Yuletide season manifests itself not only in the gay street decorations and house ornaments but also in the speech and manners of the citizens. There is an air of good fellowship and warm friendliness in the greetings shouted from one to another. Hearts expand with generosity and the urge to give casts mercenary reluctance to the winds. Christmas is on the way and its infectious joy lays seige to the hearts of all. Children spend long hours in pleasurable anticipation of the many exciting gifts waiting for them under the Christmas tree. Parents turn aside their eager queries with non-commital nods and evasive answers. Young folks go surreptitiously about planning pleasant surprises for mother and dad. Everyone is busy and Christmas shopping occupies the stage of attention. _ Gift hunting and the importance of remembering everyone keep the mind active. Many selections are put off till the last minute when there is a mad scramble for presents before Santa's bells jingle. Then gaiety runs rampant, folks go _ breathlessly hurrying about selecting this or that gift to complete their Christmas list. It is usually Dad who suffers most from this hustle-bustle—Dad the “forgotten man” who usually ends up with a nice new tie prettily done up in a gift package. Trees, brilliantly bedecked with ornaments and tinsel, gleam from windows, while in many places live trees glowing with light adorn front lawns and public places. Store windows come in for their share of the Yuletide decoration, many of them interestingly arrayed in Christmas raiment. Wreaths of holly and red berries lend their seasonal color to the general decorative scheme. It is Santa’s triumph and he is the man of the hour. _ Young and old join in rendering him the usual hearty welcome. The ever joyous strains of “Holy Night”’ fill the atmosphere and all hearts are imbued with the age old desire for “Peace' on Earth, Good Will to Men.”—John Cronin. Propaganda vs. Paychecks Propaganda talks: We're all wrong here in America. We're clinging to an out-moded, cumbersome form of government —Democracy. We're trying to hold together an cutmoded system of free enterprise for profit in business—Capi_talism. The American masses should throw all this overboard and take charge, as the“masses” did in Russia. Or we should ‘ set up a dictator who would gather all the loose ends of democratic difference of opinion and weld labor, industry and the press into an efficient. obedient, goose-stepping machine. Money talks: In Russia, more than two decades after the “masses ushered in Utopia, the average hourly wage rate is 18 cents, the average annual income of the. worker is $552. In Italy—hourly wage, 12 cents; annual income, $239. In ‘Germany—hourly wage, 24 cents; annual income, $718. In the United States of America, the average worker is paid 61 cents an hour and earns in a year $1,275. The debate is closed. No method of government is perfect; no economic system is perfect. Neither can be, so long as the nature of man is imperfect. But a system that has proved itself over 160 years of national life, and has given the average American a standard of living that has never been equaled in the world anywhere at any time, is assurance that the ‘guarantees of the Bill of Rights will remain the foundation of American life after Communism, Fascism and Nazism become -discarded and half-forgotten experiments, embalmed in books to bemuse the curious historian.—Contributed. A New Border “Clash” This country is in a border dispute with Canada! Canadjans, it seems, want to erect a river dam on their side of the ‘boundary—and that particular river flows across to run through Montana and Idaho; so that the dam might discommode Americans using the water. A problem! But Ralph W. Hill, Department of State attorney, recently in California for a vacation, reports that a just settlement by mediation is due shortly. Imagine Hitler comprehending that—no mobilization, no war threats—simply friendly discussion on an unfortified frontier.
