laughed the muskrat lady house
keeper. "You shall know about it
all in good time. -
And though the little rabbit

would say nothing more.

them. "You must be good little

BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS

Page one of The Press, for several days
past, has carried a small cut serving q
double purpose in reminding shoppers OF
the approach of Christmas and calling
the attention of all to the sale of Christ
mas seals.
These little seals, or stamps, have come
to be as much a part of the Christmas
season as Christmas trees, holly and mis-
tletoe.
Their primary purpose is to provide
funds to help in eradicating the plague
of the white man-tuberculosis. Stats
tics show that while great progress has
been made in combating this disease,
there are many who become victims of it
annually.
Unfortunately the majority of such
cases occur in families who have not the
means to provide proper medical atten-
ton. They must, if they are to get bet
ter, depend in great measure on outside
assistance. 1t is here that the Christmas
seal comes in, supplying the ammunition
which enables the tuberculosis victim to
battle against the disease.
There are no figures available to indi-
cate that tuberculosis is increasing, but
in view of the Strengthened circumstances
of so many millions during the past four
years, Wnen HldlHuIIlIiou-l cHIeI ally
of tuberculosis-has been rampant, it
would not be surprising to learn that the
white plague" has been making gains
instead of being checked.
The small cost of the Christmas seals
places them within the reach of all. They
not only aid worthy cause but they are
part and parcel of the Christmas decor
alive scheme, and as such are doubly
welcome on Christmas gifts
In past years Imperial county has not
always been as generous as it might be
in purchasing Christmas seals. Now
that we have had a four year lesson in
learning to help those who need help we
should put it into practice. The Christ
mas seals help 1.-The other fellow and
they also help US for in buying them we
do our part in carrying out the great
creed of the Golden Rule.

GREECE TO TRY AGAIN

Following closely upon the Canadian
| decision to permit the eXtradition of Mar
| tin insult to the United States, comes the
| news that Greece intends to make another
! effort to turn his brother Samuel over
to American officials.
Samuel, former head of the insult util-
tiles empire, succeeded in escaping ex-
tradition to this country by recent YER
dict of the Greek courts, which reported
they could find no criminal grounds
against insult which would warrant his
eXtradition.
Thereupon Washington diplomatic cir
Giles became quite indignant and notified
the government at Athens that the treaty
between the United States and Greece
would be terminated because the verdict
of the Greek courts had broken it. There
were also thinly yelled hints of reprisals
by the United States toward Greece, be-
cause of the incident.
The new message from Greece states
among other things that Greece appre-
ciates the treatment which several hun
dred thousand of her sons have received
in the United States and is kindly dis
posed toward us for refugee work con-
tributed during and after the World war.
The prime minister announced he will
make another effort to see if insult can't
De turned over TO the united states TO
answer the charges which this nation has
preferred against him.
While there is no doubt insult should
be made to answer in an American court
for his financial debacle, the method of
getting him into such a court smacks of
being somewhat irregular, to put it mild
ly. 1t looks too much like a strong ma
tion picking on weaker one-particu-
larly those thinly-veiled hints at repris-
ais. {
1t is an open question whether the re-
turn of insult is worth putting this ma
ton in the light of bully who gets his
objective by force of one kind or another.
If Greece does decide on the next at
tempt that insult must be returned here
the United States cannot hope to have
the rest of the world believe that force
was not used to get such a decision.
