A chance to sit in the latest
fireside chair and look over the
Christmas cards. Gay and per
sonal cards this year; people feel
ing happy. Taking time to write
messages below the engraved Good

An organizing spirit Is dis
covered in the Donald Richbergs
who say:
In this, the third year of the
New Deal-when there is so
much talk about shooting Santa
Claus, partly to save money but
chiefly to stop the spread OF
COmmuAistic ideaS-and when
the League of Nations IS trying
to end one war and the Anti
Saloon League is trying to start
another - we have decided to
organize a brand new League of
Good Will, supported entirely
by kind thoughts.
"If you return our wishes for
n gladstone Christmas and
cheerful New Year, you become
. charter member of the
league.
