DOING THE SHOPPING

IF HUMAN nature were not what it
is, the Christmas season might not
be one Of rush and worry over what
to buy, and sales forces in stores
would not be rushed to exhaustion in
the two or three weeks before the
event. If people did their shopping
when it could be done under the least
congested conditions, it might extend
over months instead Of weeks, and it
would be not less seasonable.
However, none but the exceptional
person thinks of doing shopping until
it cannot be put off longer. Then it
becomes an ordeal and is so strenu-
Gus that it tends to rob the season of
the "cheer and good will' that attach
to it sentimentally. The "good will''
might actually pervade the shoppers
were they not overworked trying to
find what they want and struggling
to get it. Yet it would not be Christ
mas for a lot of people were it 9TH
erwise. They have becomeso accust-
omed to waiting and then making
hurry-up job of it that they would
not feel right were it done betimes.
Human nature is peculiar thing

decided after thoro study Of the con-
ditions that have grown up. 1t seems
obvious, tho, that measures Of pre-
vention rather than of punishment
will yield the greater benefits.
We are now in the season when the
streets are commonly wet and very
slippery. Common sense tells us that
an automobile cannot be safely driven
as swiftly on wet as on dry streets.
Yet too many drivers are deaf to the
voice of common sense. This type
changes it's habits not at all when
conditions favor skidding. If it avoids
collisions this can be accounted for
only on the ground that there is such
a thing as "1uck."
Of course, it is impossible to legis-
late sound sense into the mind of
that type commonly called "sap." If
we are to have the possible maximum
of safety in the streets the "sap"
must be legislated out of the drivers's
seat. This perhaps falls into the cate
cory of things ''more easily said than
DONE" The "sap" must be proved be-
fore he can be deprived of his citi-
zen's rights. The real question is,
what proof shall be required?
AS the laws are usually. admin
istered there is no interference with
habitual menaces of life and property
until they have an accident" Little
is done to prevent accidents. Hun
dreds Of "saps" could be identified
when the streets are wet by the slid
ing of their cars at points where they
should be under perfect control. Too
much speed on wet pavements is as
dangerous as driving while intoxi-
Gated. Something can be done about
it.

SHOP NOW

THIS is the years most cheerful
season. The shop windows Of Ken
newick are tastefully decorated in
harmony with the spirit of the time.
Youngsters are writing letters to San
ia, and Christmas buying is on in
earnest.
With less than a week between
now.and Christmas, it is time for all
of us to get busy. The merchants Of
Kennewick have secured excellent
Christmas stocks gifts to suit ev-
eryone gathered from the four cor
ners of the earth. But these stocks
will not last indefinitely. Last min
ute shoppers are bound to be disap-
pointed. Local merchants have in
formed the editor that the buying is
unusually heavy this year, and those
who put off the shopping until De-
cember "a will experience hard time
to get suitable gifts for the friends
and relatives they have on their lists.
So do your Christmas shopping to-
morrow, or at least on the following
day. Do not make it evident to your
friends that the gifts you sent were
last minute thots. Most Christmas
gifts are appreciated not according
to their intrinsic value but according
to the thotfulness they represent.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1925-12-17


despite that fact that all of US have
it. 1t wouldn't be human nature if it
wasn't odd. If we did everything in
a reasonable and sane way we would
not be human beings. We would be
super-human and that is too much to
expect. It is the prerogative of human
beings to do as they please and Of
course most Of US please to delay as
long as we can the doing of what we
cannot avoid. There may be those
who are forehanded in Christmas
shopping but they are rare and 50
different from the mass that they
are odd, too.
By the way, we must do our shop
ping pretty soon.

MAYOR Joe Leibee sounded a
- wrong note at the last meeting

Publicity! Certainly. The public

every detail of their collective BUSH
ness, especially when it comes to an
unusual expenditure of the sort now
in contemplation. Closed meetings
where the public is excluded is the
surest way to arouse unfavorable

IT MAKES ALL THINGS NEW

IT MAKES ALL THINGS NEW
WHILE it seems impossible to say
- anything new on the subject of
Christmas celebration, the miracle Of
the season is that the custom Of near
~ 1000 years makes practically all
things new. The aged become young
again thru their rejoicing in the de-
lights Of the grandchildren with the
things that once made their own eyes
open wide in wonder-memories of
their own childhood also come back
to them.
It is not simply jest that papa
also likes to play-even tho he may
say it is just to test them-with the
toys he buys for the youngsters. Thus
while the holiday is particularly a fes-
tival for the children, emphasizing
the story of the Babe in the Manager,
it also has for the elders its pleas
ures and the wider significance of
that world-inspiring event in Beth
lehem.
