CHRISTMAS IN 1921
Rebuke Administered to New
England Observers of Day.
Young Men Who Had Arrived on Little
Ship Fortune Reprimanded
for Festivities.

TT WAS In 1921 that Governor Brad
l ford was called upon to administer
rebuke to some of the young men of
the New England colony who had just
come over on the little ship Fortune,
and who wanted to celebrate the holt
day, the Detroit News recalls. Puritan
ism brought over with it in the May
flower the anti-ChriStmas feeling, and
when the group of lusty youngsters at
tempted to observe the day they were
sharply criticized by the colony.
The men were called out to WORK
that day as on other days, but the
newcomers declared it against theil
consciences TO work on Christmas day
The governor left them and led AWAY
the rest of the workers. But when h.
returned at noon the young nrf we're

He took away their implements and
told them ii was against His conscience
that they should play while Others
worked and that they could rye
the day within doors, but there ~aO,;ld
be no reveling in the streets.
On the day in question tree was
chopped down and dragged into ona Of
the rough cabin where ii was
trimmed with cranberries and pop
corn, while the young people toasted
their eyes ON it's beauties. These "rev
elries" were frowned upon by the ma
iority Of the colonsts and in 1853 the
general court Of Massachusetts enacted
a law that made any person observing
Christmas day liable to a fine Of Give
shiIlings' The law was repealed in
1861.

Taking Desperate Chances

1t is true that many contract severe
colds and recover from them without
taking any precaution or treatment,
and knowledge of this fact leads
others to take their chances instead
of giving their colds the needed at
tendtion. 1t should be borne in mind
that every cold weakens the lungs,
lowers the vitality, makes the system
less abe to withstand each succeed
ing attack and paves the way for the
more serious diseases. Can you af-
ford to take such desperate chanses
when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
famous for it's cures of bad colds may
be had for a trifle?
