CAROL

December days are bleak and cold,
But soon this weary world grown
old;
Shall see the Christmas Lamb ap-
pear!
Balm for woe and cure for fear:
Come to pardon all our sin
Graded so lOwly at Bethlehem Inn.
Jesus, sweet Lamb, to our carols
give ear,
And waken our hearts, earth's bless
ings to share;
Bring to Thy Crib, the weary, worn
souls,
And bind them to Thee with cords
of gold.
Creation bends low at the manger-
Hall,
While angels proclaim Thee King of
HELEN McKIM.
And now we suppose the Lemor-
ties in England will have to go to
work.

U. S. Chamber of Commerce Chairman Active Girl
 Scout Supporter, Makes Assertion

"If eyere woman is to have that sense of sober responsibility which alone leads to influence in govern ment and industry, her naturally fine instincts must be trained"
 This is the opinion of Julius II Barnes, chnirma of the board of the United States Chamber of Commerce, who finds time among his many interests to head the Girl Scout finance committee.
 "Few people realize said MT Barnes, how radically the position of women has altered within the past ten yeras. The suffrage blu gave them equal rights with mon before the law. The changing structure of business and industry opened new avenues of employ ment They lost the sheltered pos it!on they had in the home"
 Polite ly and industriallv speaking, MT Barnes pointed out women are still in their teens.
 Tt Is fortunate for society" M Barrcs said, that woman's basic institutes are sound, but undoub; edly they need training. Her talents, too, need only to be called int, full play in order that she may have free entry into the world of industry and government"
 Mr Barnes confessed that his in terest in the Girl Scouts program was due to the fact that he con sidered it capable of supplying precisely the needs he had out lined.
