Not so very long ago, numbers of people, particularly in the country districts, had not heard of the com munity Christmas tree. They were still celebrating the nativity in what ever fashion their grandparents had set for them, and they didn't bother much. Hardly a decade ago the tree had not made the wonderful success which we all are acquainted with by new, and whose Surest proof it its re- markable popularity in every city, town and hamlet in the country. It is a different Christmas from the first ones which all of us remember, yet how much more typical of the full meaning of the occasion as it should always have been celebrated.
 Of course, we have always had the charitable idea, most of us, more or less! The custom of making up bask- cts and writing cheques for the poor has long been a part of our Christ mas, though it is poor interpretation of the good will we hear sung about. Prisoners were left to the care of the police force, and our slumS received but an occasional haphazard visit. Even where organized charity was in effect, all of the less fortunates could not possibly be reached. During this era we had, too, the lack of sentiment which often overtakes slothful peo- pie, we were surfeited with too much of the worlds good things, and we lost sight of the old-time fun and simple pleasures. Christmas carols gave way to ragtime, the dear little caraway seeded cakes were supplanted by French pastry, and the minutes of beautiful expectant hush which used to precede the midnight hour were filled with noisy, thoughtless revelry,
 Then came the giving craze, that period when the shopping days be- came a nightmare to shopper and clerk alike The gentle touch was lost in the last wild scramble to get some thing for Aunt Mary before the stores closed on Christmas eve. And the

of every celebration, many cities hay ing several groups of singers who ac- cept offerings of silver for the poor In most towns merchants offer dolls for dressing and then for good will give prizes for the most beautifully dressed ones. There are so many suggestions and so little space here that numbers of ideas cannot be given but no doubt towns are by now taking intense pride in doing the most orig. inal things thinkable for their cele, brations.

 Do you wish me to vote for the same candidate that you do?"
 "Why shouldn't you?"

We must eliminate the for est fire menace before we can begin to reforest in earnest. Furthermore, we must stop these fires in order to save the remaining timber we now have, and it is only by united ef- fort throughout the nation that this can be brought about.
