SHOULD DISCARD
UGLY WORD XMAS

The days of the week are known
by proper names. Holidays and holy
days alike bear names that are preE-
nant with meaning. They are neither
numbered nor lettered in the order
of their occurrence or for any other
reason. There is one outstanding
exception. one day-the day of all
days in each ear Is sadly miscall-
ed. disgracefully designated.
It's up to the newspapers to cor
rect the evil that is crowded into
that n little expression:
Xmas"
It's bad enough for Christmas to
be written Xmas on any flimsy pre-
text; but now largely through free
use of the abortive abbreviation in
newspapers-chiefly in advertising
that day that IL so dear to us is be-
ing given widespread pronunciation
in accordance with its shortened
spelling. Christmas Spirit doesn't
mean near SO much when 1t is called
Ecksmas Spirit.
The TX" Is borrowed-or stolen
from the Greek. in which language
II Is a symbol equivalent to the name
of the Saviour.
\ in algebra equals the unknown.
Perhaps it's all right for unbe-
levers to whom Christ is unknown
to call II Xmas; but Christians who
prefer to be known as such rather
than as Mans will keep Christmas
sacredly known by its right name so
hat none of its significance be lost,
We don't call Easter Sunday Alarm
Clock Day because that mechanism

don't call Good Friday Zday because

THE PARCO NEWS
BY H. T. DUCE
Richardson Presented
With Fine Watch by
z. and r. Employees

The employees of the p. and r.
in the Parco refinery presented Mr..
f. e. Richardson, superintendent of
the refinery, with a 90 jewel Hamil-
ton watch on Christmas Eve at the
Community party.
The watch was given to Mr.. Rich
ardson as a slight token of the sin
cere appreciation of the employees
for the Kindness, consideration and
cooperation he has so freely given
20 all during the past year. Through
Mr.. Richardson's personal interest
in each and every employee, Parco
has beer made one of the most de-
sirable places to live in Wyoming.
Nothing has been too small or too
great to be overlooked by him and
to many of the a~musements and at
fractions of our city he is directly
responsible. 1t has always been his
aim and desire to please all as near
as it was within his power to do so.
Mr.. Richardson has Co-operated with
all departments in the refinery at all
times and as a result there is now a
very efficient force of men working.
men who are not only willing to
meet his requests but are anxious to
please him. Our troubles have been
his troubles, our joys and sorrows
his joys and sorrows. One of us
at all times.

This arrangement was worked out
when Representative Samuel E.
Winslow, chairman of the house com
mittee, invited a committee of inter
mountain congressman to meet with
his committee and present their
claims for an early hearing. The
intermountain committee was com
posed of Representatives French of
Idaho, Hill of Washington, Leather
wood of Utah and Hayden of Arizona.
Although the date set is later than
was hoped for by the intermountain
congressman, the definite time limit
set on debate in the committee prac-
tically gives assurance that the bill
will be gotten onto the floor of the
house early in February.

PROGRAMME ON
CHRISTMAS EVE
WELL ATTENDED

The big Community Christmas
party held in Parco last Wednesday
evening was a decided success.
Everybody in Parco was present and
1t was one of the greatest gaia events
of the season. A Christmas tree of
%wondrous beauty held the attention
of all throughout the evening and
Santa Claus was welcomed with great
enthusiasm.
The whole programme went off in
perfect order and the children that
participated performed well. Tele-
grams were received from Santa
Claus throughout the evening advis-
ing to the large crowd as to his prog
ress towards Parco. The first came
from Billings. Montana and later an
other from Casper where he met with
a mishap and was delayed for sew
eral minutes but it vas only a short
time before word was received that
he had passed Station three and was
on route to Parco. He arrived short
~ afterward in all his glory heavily
h%urdened with goodies and gifts of
various kinds for the children. Santa
was accorded with a great welcome
and he was almost instantly sur
rounded by the. enthusiastic and
anxious children. They were all re-
warded, for TO each girl went a green
stocking filled with goodies and toys
and to each boy a red stocking filled
with goodies and gifts suitable to
them.
But Santa had n surprise for all.
Among his. plentiful supply were four
large red stockings filled with var
ious curiosities: such as. vegetables
and the like. Each n of these
stockings was labeled so there was
no alternative but to give them to
the lucky persons whose m APP
peared on the tags. they being Harry
