CHRISTMAS OF PRESENT TIME
Ease Of Making Long Journeys,
m Home Holiday Best.

0COO HEN Christmas began its gay
NW pilgrimage down the years
society was stationary. To-
day families and individuals
are constantly on the move.
Modern means of transportation have
abolished distance. The family today
scatters to all quarters of the earth.
One brother stays on the Atlantic
coast, the other migrates to the Pa
cific seaboard, but then they are "only
four or five days apart" In England
sons and daughters find their way in
all parts of an empire that covers the
globe; 1t is nothing for the cabled
Christmas salutations of single fam
lily to travel between Montreal, Mel
bourne, Calcutta, Cape Town and Lon
don.
When Irving wrote "Bracebridge

try was itself an adventure. The case
Of travel nowadays has taken the edge
from all such jaunts Everybody
travels. And increasing numbers use
the modern transport system to leave
home at Christmas time. 1t may be
Christmas at an inn is gaining ground.
Congestion of population in great
cities has narrowed the dimensions Of
the metropolitan home, and not many
apartments can comfortably accom-
modate the family reunion and the
preparation and setting of the Christ
mas dinner. So when the trip to the
country fails the city family goes holi-
day-making in an hotel. If hotels once
were lonely places at Christmas they
are far from lonely now, and many
seek them both for dinner and frolic
These are tendencies, variations
upon the old theme. The theme, how
ever, remains unchanged. 1t will not
change. The great majority will still
keep Christmas at home. Where there
are children the proper paraphernalia
and the time-honOred observances will
hold the family at home. No substi-
tute fully satisfies. At best the away
trombone Christmas is only substi-
tute for the genuine article. So long
as children come to enrich the lives
main essentially a home holiday. The
organization of modern life brings
some compensations to the absent and
the homeless, but the fullness Of
Christmas satisfaction is only to be
had at the family hearth.

also bear on the possibility Of the
disuse of the natural tree.
The Yule log succumbed to the
greater attractiveness of the Christ
mas tree. And the Yule log had its
predecessors in the various celebra-
tons that occurred at the close of the
old and the beginning of the new
year during the first centuries of the
Christian era.
The Christmas tree is believed to be
a German institution, but the Romans
celebrated the birth of Christ about
the middle of the Fourth century by
the display of tree decorations, and in
some sections of Europe the festival
was observed by the employment of
pyramids decorated with green twigs
and ornaments. Christmas trees should
not be cut except from dense growths
where thinning of young trees can be
made with benefit to the forest. The
New York State College of Forestry
in the interest Of conservation of the
forests urges the adoption of artificial
substitutes for trees In the observ-
ances Of the Yuletide festival.

AMERICAN LEGION AND
AUXILIARY ACTIVITIES

Harry A. White Post held an en-.
thusiastic meeting last Monday night
and many important matters we're dis
posed of. The election of officers for
the ensuing term Of one year brought
out some spirited contests, a clear in
dication OF continued interest and the
desirability Of the several positions the
Post has to offer. Reports of commit
tees opened up an avenue OF wider
possibilities and the scope Of the COM
munity work as outlined offer broader
fields for rich endeavor.
With five candidates in the field for
Post commander the balloting was
given colorful interest, and a fairly
good attendance was on hand. 1t was,
indeed, compliment to Harry w.
Gueno. for he was elected by ma
jority on the first ballot. The new
Post commander, when installed in
January, will take hold with the same
energy that has characterized his eff
forts in every department Of activity.
He will have the unqualified support of
every Legionnaire, always essential to
success. and this alone bespeaks for
him a cordial cooperation in his work.
The officers elected for the ensuing
term are as follows: Commander,
Harry w. Gueno; vice-commander,
Homer Graham; adjutant. A. R. Cook;
finance officer, Louis Siecrest: treas
urer, Lee Wright; chaplain, Boyd Cot
fey: historian. Frank Powell; insur
ance officer. Floyd Lischke; publicity
officer, John R. Charlesworth; SER
geant-at-arms. Floyd Davis; sentinel.
Glenn WEIGH.
Major John r. Charlesworth was
elected installing officer and he will
be prepared to induct the newly elect
ed officers into their respective offices
on Monday. the sth day Of January.
Legionnaires are notified that there
will be no regular meetings of the
Post on Christmas Day or New Years
Day. Get ready for January sth.
No less active than the Post was
