 A dinner function of note here on Christmas day was that in which Deputy U. s. Marshal Stanley J.. Nichols was host to many friends. The dinner was an excellent one, the base of which, of course, consisted of turkey--a 207pound one-and there was everything to go with it. Place cards were set for nineteen adults, aside from which the younger set, younger set, numbering five, sat at a table all their own, to discuss, decide and dever.
 The following guests were seated: MT. and Mrs. Oliver Anderson, MT. and Mrs. Thomas McLean, Mrs. R. M. White, Mrs. J. P. Taylor, Brother George Feltes, Brother Martial La-

 Following the 4 o'clock dinner the guests enjoyed themselves with either listening to the radio or in partici- pating in several smystifying games, the results from which brought forth "a number of victims, together with much laughter and .jolliication.

McGRATH.-Christ season at McGrath this year was much on the same order as those of the past-full Vof pleasure and enjoyment, and att tended by many oldtimers who came from their several headquarters. The celebration occurred at the Me Grath Roadhouse, which was comfort ably filled during the two nights. Santa Claus held sway on Christmas teve, and his well-loaded tree seemed ito carry presents for everyone. Danc- ing, of course, was the big feature, tthe merry throng filling the floor and enjoying themselves for two nights. An excellent luncheon was spread on both occasions.
 An enjoyable feature of the cele- lbration was the school exercises ren- dered by the children of McGrath school, in which the pupils received much heart yapplause, and in which their teacher, Mrs. R. M. White, was accorded much praise for her work The exercises follow:

that was from the Tenants League,
invited me in.

the laugh brought tears to my eyes;
it sounded so wild, so hopeless.

and so tired.
He sat down on park bench while
his eyes lowered here and there,
searching out building after building
where he had worked. His jobs, his
buildings. His rough old hands had
helped place them there, so high, so
noble, so magnificent. His buildings,
and now it meant worse than
death to be away from them. He
loved them so. No, no. That would
be impossible.
Suddenly fierce hatred took hold
of him. He looked up where his eyes
still could make out the tiny specks
that were men running here and
there around the scaffolds, amidst
the partitions. He could actually hear
voices singing out, Mortar here,
rough brick dizzy, hey you goddamn
wop asked for three not 'six-inch

and now he was away from it all.
Again that hatred possessed him and
with strangling cry he arose and
dashed away.
Late that night the Waterman OF
the Dregnelli Bldg, under construc-

of falling brick from above. Calling

into space. He was hopelessly insane.

made the book so interesting for her,
and I was shocked to hear how deep
this individual initiative" bunk has
penetrated her young mind. The book

Working class children may see
their fathers struggling for a liv-
ing, walking the streets for months
without a job, and even themselves
lacking immediate necessities, but
they don't realize the class struggle
in it. and are not interested about
the class struggle.
The revolutionary press must pay
serious attention to the home
front" 1t is true that the revolu-
tionary movement has not yet de-
veloped the necessary cadres for
proIetarian literature of this knid,
but we can do it just as we do it
on the industrial front in the shops
and factories.
To write about the life in their own
homes, just as a worker writes about
his struggles in the factory, We will
be surprised to see what wealth of
material, interesting to all those in
the home, the workers themselves
will be able to furnish. In every home
of an intelligent worker there is to
be found, often, the contrast between
himself, who is absorbed in the class
struggle, and his wife and children,
who are far from seeing the reason
of all the material suffering in the
class struggle, but look for reasons
in luck or lack of initiative.
The Daily Worker must urge
urge upon the readers to write in
about the theological differences
with which they are confronted in
their homes and give us true stor-
les of prOletarian home life.
