FRIDAY. DECEMBER a. 1920.
CHRISTMAS AS USUAL.

Christmas is here again. 1t has a
way of coming back and joining battle
with the worlds doubts and discourage
ments and ~selfshness and evil. 1t has a
way, too, of always winning the fight
with its laughter, its warm generosity,
its spirit of love and kindness and
childlike simplicity.
Thus, in spite of unemployment in
many parts of the country-neither so
Widespread nor so appalling as in
other periods of economic reimbursement
and in his particular locality scarcely
northumberland in spite of shortages
and profteers and politics, most of the
civilized world which a short time ago
was plunged in confusion and gloom
finds itself warming up with Christmas
spirit, and the words Merry Christ
mas are spoken with the same old joy
Gus thrill as always before.
The real reason for the invincibility
Of Christmas-the everlasting quality of
this world-old i~nstitution-is its close
relationship to little children. 1t is
their day of days-so mysterious, so
happy, so full of possibilities of love
and service that even the grouchy old
Scrooges, when let into its great secrets,
are transformed into the most ~irresist-
ible of holiday j~Oy-makers.
Let us then celebrate Christmas as
usual, thankful for little children and
for the grown-ups who have the great
ness of soul to become as little children
cheerful, generous, frank and sympa-
thetic-at least once a year.

enthusiastically talk of independence
they cannot hope to acquire it. They
cannot unite their country in a demand
for it and independence of a part of
Ireland would be as weak and danger
GUS as secession in America would have
been. England is in position to wait
for the froth of Irish agitation to blow
off and then allow ireland a greater de-
gree of home government than it ever
has had, or, in case this fails to happen,
tp turn in and subdue the revolutionary
factions that promise only destruction
to Irish nationality.

When a county has only one murder
in sixty years. it is the duty of the To-
cal newspaper to report it as fully as
possible. That is why we give up 50
much space to the case now on trial,

The residents of that section, too,
evidently believe that one chance in go
years should be improved and they are
said to be driving in with the women,
children and lunch boxes from far and
near to listen greedily to evidence which
it would be much better to give behind
closed doors.

The Municipal Judgeship.
(Rutland Herald,)

The Londonderry Sitter makes an earn
est and reasonable argument for the re
appointment of Addison f. Cudworth as
Judge of the municipal court in Brattle-
boro. Like a few score other appoint
ments, these municipal judgeships are de
cidedlv cup to-" the new governor, but
The Herald has hoped that in cases
where the ability and fitness of incum-
bents has been well demonstrated that
they would thereby qualify for reap
pointment.

JEWISH WELFARE BOARD.

The Jewish Welfare Board has
adopted program to provide expert
assistance in the activities being car

in existence, and to organize and as
sist in campaigns for the erection Of
new centers wherever required. 1t will
seek to do this work with the cooper
alton Of all forces within the commun-
ity, and insofar as other national or
CARNATIONS may be conducting in
whole or in part work which the Jew
ish Welfare Board contemplates doing
in the future, it must endeavor to ar
range to avoid all unnecessary dupli-
cation Of work. In consonance with
this plan, conference was recently
held Of committees representing the
National Council Of Young Mems He

brew and Kindred Associations and
the Jewish Welfare Board, at which it
was agreed that the work now being
conducted by the National Council of
Young Mems Hebrew and Kindred As
sociations should be continued by the
Jewish Welfare Board, but upon the
express conditions that all constructive
accomplishments of the Council should
be preserved, and that each center be
assured full autonomy. 1t is also plan
ned that the centers be given voice
in the election of members of the gov
erning committee of the Jewish We'll
fare Board.
The details of the plan will be sub
mitted to the full membership of the
Jewish Welfare Board at its annual
meeting and to convention of the
Young Mems Hebrew and Kindred
Associations, both to be held in the
fall. . 4
The undersigned feel that the above
plan holds out promise for the devel-
opment of strong national organiza-
ton that will promote and advance
the Jewish center movement in Amer
lea in the broadest spirit of Judaism
and Americanism. Such an organiza-
ton, with the moral support of the
Jewish community Of America and
with adequate funds and personnel,
would meet an outstanding and insist
ent need that has continually made
itself more manifest as Educational
Alliances, Y. M. H. AS, Y. w. H. AS,
Jewish Centers and the like have in
creased in number and enlarged their
activities, and it is hoped that the
communities and national organiza-
lions will now lend themselves hearth
ly to the furtherance of this effort.

have already given US valuable
help in the difficult moments
through which we are passing.
But the encouragement which
NJ. Bach brings us, and Of which
we realize the value, makes us
foresee the blessed prospect for
a new activity for work on our
part toward the advancement of
Gods reign.
