CHRISTMAS, A SPIRIT

It is nearly over, the expectation of the
youngsters and the preparation of the oldsters.
AS this is read, the Christmas buying will be in
rs last delicious, if delirous. frenzy and the be-
lated throngs will be turning homeward, bundle
laden and cheer-laden, through the gathering
twilight Santa is on his way. The far-off
clatter of his hoofed team can even now be
heard from out the Northland.
How strange a place is this, the city. on
Christmas eve. Smell of sweets blown by
swinging doors from thousand shops Flash
Of color from myriad windows. Trolley gongs

How strange place is this, the home, to-

Recently we read Q communication from
Howard S. Branchef, secretary Of National Com
munity Service. which impressed us to the az
tent of presenting same through these columns.
hoping it will encourage those leaders in COM
munity building irrespective what movement it
may be, SO long as our citizenship is benefited.
Mr.. Branchers letter read as follows:
Life is worth living. There is a fight on
worth being in There is a race on worth row.
ing II is race against the storms breaking
our civilization.
Waves are beating in from every direction.
To stop rowing is to be swampcd. There is no
way of turning round to go back the way We
have come. Full power ahead is the only way
out. The clouds will not hang low and dark
over the waters forever The shore can be seen
by the far sighted.
It is for us to pull stroke after stroke, put
ting all our power into our oars and make sure
that no motion of ours is rocking the boat. It
matters not if we have pulled long time. Just
one pull more at time. A steady stroke with
the power can keep up. If we are to reach
the quieter waters beyond, it is the will to pro-
gress that will take US there The miracle, if
there be one, will be in the power of endurance
given US as we pull together.
There is no power to steer boat that is not
going. If you to keep out of the trough of
the waves, you must pull. There are too few
at the oars now. You cannot stop. We are all
in the boat together If you do not pull, some
one else must pull his weight and yours, too. No
one else can take your place. There is an oar
idle If you are not pulling.
The old boat is leaky. Our feet are in the
water. But it is the same water for all Of us.
Faith is all right. Courage is good, too. It
is we'll to be cheerful. But there is no substi-
tute for putting in all the strength of back and
leg and arm. of mind and soul. as you pull your
oar through-if you expect to reach the shore
It IS no time to ride in the boat. It is nothing
but power that can save civilization and progress
now.
The track across the water is plain enough.
1t IS not more intellect. more philosophy, more
plan, It is not more coxswains, or more strokes
or more captains that are needed, what is want
cd is a willingness to perspire ones self; will
to go forward, readiness to use every muscle
and every nerve of body and Of soul.
Then there is power for progress in this
world Of our.

AS TO ARBUCKLE
world Of our.

We do not believe that the return of Fatty
Arbuelxle whose gross adventures in the shock
ing case of dead VIRGINIA Rape will have a
good influence on the motion picture which
certainly in view of recent Developments in CAL
ifornia needs friends badly and we believe that
VIII Hays made mistake in lifting the ban on
Arbuekle. Decent people all over the country
are loud in their protest against Mr.. Hays ac-
ton. They do not think that the Arbuckle pro-
moters arc so much concerned over Arbucklc
himself but that they seek to capitalize in the
films the alleged comedian figured in prior to his
shocking eseapade in San Francisco. There
arc plenty of places in the industry where Ar
buckle could have been made use of without
forcing his face on the public purvicw. Mr..
Hayes did an unfortunate thing not in keeping
with his Indiana ideals in bringing Arbuckle
back in the films. Clean men and women and
children should not be obliged when they 60
to picture house to gaze upon him.

POWER OF PROGRESS

The movement to establish Community
Service in this city has the endorsement and
leadership of men and women who see the need
for setting into action those social forces in the
community that make mental and moral deveI-
opment of all the people irrespective of race or
creed, rich or poor and the upbuilding of COM
nunity character and morale.
Hammond can we'll be thankful that there
are public spirited men and women sufficiently
impressed with sense of social obligation, and
mbued with desire for social service. to con-
Germ themselves, and invest portion of their
wealth and time in multiplying opportunities
for popular recreation.
These leaders are accustomed to expect no
thanks for their public services but are satis-
fed with the thought that they have helped
put over something worth while. although theirs
IS not always an easy task as they have to meet
and deal with Indifference selfishness and pre-
iudice.
