Story
In humble Holland home on
St. Nicholas Eve, Katrina and her
brother Hans anxiously await the
arrival of their cousins, John and
Helen from America, as well as
the annual visit of st. Nicholas.
Special care has been taken that
all should be in readiness for
both. On the mantel and table,
dishes stand heaped with st Mich
olas cookies and in the center of
the room are two wooden shoes
well-filled with hay and grain.
While Mother and Father are
away at the stateion and Hans out
delivering milk, Katrina sits by
the fire, dreaming, as she rocks
her baby sister to sleep. In her
dreams, she is visited by Merry
England, Miss America, Senorita
Spain, Comrade Russia and Hon
orable Japan who tell her of the
Christmas customs in other lands.
All are finally bound together by
the Spirit of Christmas.
Katrina is awakened by Hans
and the arrival of her parents and
cousins. There is an exchange of
greetings, and then to the surprise
of all, down the chimney bounds
Santa Claus, and in the door walks
st. Nicholas with his Black Man
laden with Christmas goodies.

The Flaw In Shaw
IN. Y. World-Telegram)

Helen Keller met George Bernard
Shaw, her idol, and found q flaw in
him. She told the story in a re-
markable article In yesterdays Times.
For many years, she explained. she
had admired, and still admires Shaw
as one Of the greatest men in the
world, "One who hacks at our most
cherished traditions and cares not
where the chips fall. !. AS elemental
as the lightning that clears the at
mosphere =. cleansing storm
sweeping through the world
Before she had read his essays and
plays In Braille, long before they were
embossed, her teacher spelled into her
hand "shaw's electrifying challenges
Of society,""
Last summer came her opportunity
to meet the great man. Lady Astor
had arranged the meeting. At last
Shaw, who had been taking q nap,
appeared In the doorway, surveying
the room with q whimsical express
sion. Miss Keller, with her COM
panion's aid, listened" breathless and
tense with expectation. She says
Il held out my hand. He took It
indifferently. could scarcely believe
my sensations. Here was a hand
bristling with egotism as Scotch
thistle with thorns.''
Shaw went through his characters
tic badinage-he didn't hate" Amer
leans, indicating they were beneath
his scorn. And why should he come
to America. "all America comes to
see me-" and them
Lady Aston laid her hand on his
arm and shook it q little, as II he
were child behaving badly before
company. Shaw she said, don't you
realize that this IS Helen Keller? She
is deaf and blind Why, Of course
Shaw replied. all Americans are deaf
and blind-and dumb"
It Is very difficult to separate the
Jest In this from the maliciously ego
tistical. The incident Is accented by
the extreme difference between the
two personalities involved. one hui
name in the impersonal, mass sense,
the other almost sentimentally hui
name In the personal sense Of being
lover Of mankind.
Shaw has written few scenes more
starkly poignant than the one which
Helen Keller describes. She preserves
her great admiration for him still, .
tribute to her profound comprehen-
sion Of the elemental forces which
visited physical blindness upon her
and which visits other sorts Of blind
ueSs upon individuals gifted with per.
lection In the physical senses.

Bismarck And It's Ranks

0S~e~D
Public confidence In Bismarck,s fl
nancial institutions was reflected in
the patient way the people endured
the recent bank holiday. There was
no panic or hysteria. Everywhere
there was evidence Of good will and
no little optimism that the clouds
would soon roll by.
Commerce Is now almost back to
normal. There is fresh determine
ton to carry on. In many ways q
new spirit is being shown. Here, as
In other cities, currency has come out
Of hiding. There was no mad rush
to the banks to draw out funds-in
fact deposits exceeded Withdrawals
when banks resumed business. Sound
ness Of local institutions was never
in question.
With the federal treasury depart
ment exerting a close control and
check over banks and banking, comes
a renewed faith and confidence in all
walks Of life.
There has been nothing to compare
with the present crisis in our eco
nomic history. The banks were closed
in many instances for more than
week except on q very restricted ba-
sis. Still business in fair volume
moved along and there was a mini
mum Of worrying. Good humor and
faith in national leadership helped.
Millions took the embarrassment OF
the moment with a laugh and shrug
Of the shoulders. In such q spirit,
then, the nation is slowly finding its
way out.
With fear gone for the most part,
the first real advance has been made
since the hectic days of 1929 when
the bottom seemed to drop out Of
everything.
A restored confidence, tempered by
the lessons of the past, is essential
to future progress.
There are evidences Of this trend
on every side in Bismarck.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1933-03-17
and gave her so in currency In ex-
change.

Similar incidents could be multi
piled numberless times in the ex-
perience Of the last few weeks. Al
never before In is years. we realize
that We are all in the same boat, that
we will rise or fall together.
Never has the spirit Of cooperation
and neighborliness been more In evi.
dence than during the recent bank
holiday. This is a prerequisite to
rapid recovery. At last we know we
are on our way and that the looked
for corner. about which we heard for
three years, probably has been turned,
even though We cannot locate it ex-
actly In our economic geography.
