field; a simulated drainage ditch

tools grouped to form a cross of st.
George commonly known as the
sanitary" cross) occupy the upper
left, and a mosquito completes the
arms in the upper right.
The announcement of the compile
tion, and imminent use, of this coat
OF arms is closely keeping with the
recent erection of a sod monument
upon the second anniversary of the
CCC mosquito control work in Della
ware, at which time the boys were
told by various speakers that they
have played integral parts in a cam
paign that already has added mil
lions of dollars of value to Delaware
In the way of health, comfort, and
land
Each mosquito control employee
is to wear this insignia on the sleeve
Of his uniform, It will be painted on
the tarpaulins that cover the trucks
and protect the workers from the
elements, and it will become the
central part of flags which will fly
over mosquito control camps. It is
expected that these uses will be in
stituted shortly after the beginning
Df the year.

JOHNNY'S CHRISTMAS

Well, I've bought all my presents
Now / have to wrap and tie.
Gee, it took lot of money
All these fine gifts to buy.
But / am glad l got them,

Now mothers going to give me
A bright silk yellow tie,
For me to wear to Sunday school,
And l think it's fine, but my!
I've got her a dandy present
Boxing gloves! For | believe
1t is far more satisfactory
To give, than to receive.
Dads bought me an encyclopedia
To teach me many things,
But look what bought him-0, boy!
An airship that moves its wings.
He'll have lots of fun a-sailing it
Oh, yes! l do believe
1t is far more satisfactory
To give, than to receive.

A box of writing paper there
With my name upon it,
So l thought it would be fair
To give her this dandy pocket knife
With three blades, for believe
II is far more satisfactory
To give. than to receive.
Now all my gifts are ready,
And I'm sure there's going to be
A very happy family
Around our Christmas tree.
Well have fun with our presents,
For l really do believe
It is far more satisfactory
To give, than to receive.

CHRISTMAS
By Nahum Tate

While shepherds watched their flocks
by night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around.
Fear not" said he (for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind {;
"Glad tidings of great joy l bring
To you and all mankind.
ITO you, in David's town, this day
Is born of David's line
The Saviour who is Christ the Lord,
And this shall be the sign:
"The heavenly Babe you there shall
find
To human view display'd,
All meanly wrapt in swathing bands,
And in manger laid"
Thus spake the seraph. and forth
with
Appear'd a shining throng
Of angels praising God, and thus
Addressed their joyful song:
"All glory be to God on high,
And to the earth be peace:
Goodwill henceforth from Heaven
to men
Begin and never cease!"

When he was tired, 1 held him close
In peace, fatigue was dreamed away
When things seemed wrong, 1 prov

Good fortune comes to us each day.
When clouds Of gray obscured his
view,
1 told him that the sun would shine,
And as the darkness disappeared
Light came to flood our hours di-

But he has gone so far away,
My arms reach out for him in vain;
So, God, please hold him close to-

THE JOY OF CHRISTMAS
By Jay B. Iden

By Jay B. Iden
'Tis not that Christmas brings us
gifts
And merry reveling,
But that it brings the joy that marks
The birthday of the King. ..
Such joyous songs as shepherds
heard
Who watched their fiocks at night
Still may we hear, this Christmas
day,
Who live and walk Alright.
W..
Still does the gracious promise live
And still the bright star glow,
To bring the joy that touched the
hearts
OF shepherds, long ago.
Let Christmas songs ring joyously;
Wake mirth and reveling-
But let love be your brightest gift,
This Birthday of the King.

Preferred Pronuneissions

Nearly all preferred pronuncla-
lions have a reason for the prefer
ence which real teachers include
in their dictatIon. when we note
that the allies are those who ally,
the reason for the accent IS made
plain. Then, precedence is the state
Of those who pre-cede, so there Is
no excuse for precedence.

This last might even lead to a
complete novelty in the way Of in
vestigatiOnst to half.wit. viz and as fol.
lows. The investigation Of why this
\ is such a swell country. A thorough
expose of now great America really
is, how endless its resources, how
basically superb the spirit of its
people, would probably astOnish us
all. A little side-investigatiOn show
ing up the methods by which we
got that way, would also be In or
der right now.
We are all inclined to forget that
a very small bug can cast heck
of a big shadow If it wriggles It.
self into the spotlight at just the
right angle. The right sort Of an
investigation would prove without
the necessity of a twO-ton printed
report, that nine.tentbs of our fears
and disturbances about our future
are due to the above mentioned
bugs. We have so forgotten about
the big, broad landscape beyond
them, that we really need a sensa-
tional investigation to bring 1t back
to our attention.
Come on now, tell the truth.
Wouldn't you get big kick out
Of headlines which announced that
public investigation No. lS09421-A
had just unearthed the fact that
nine-tenths of the population were
not Red? Aw, g'wan, you fibber!
You wouldn't even read the story!
And If we had a big expose TO
the effect that we are a healthy
minded race, with hOme-lOvlng
tastes and sane, conservative bust
ness methods, you'd rush around
discussing the revelation with your
friends, wouldn't you? Well. nell
ther would l. But just the same
I'd like to see truths like that
brought out at fair ratiO-say one
such truth to every three half-truths
about Reds, frauds and graft.
The other day Uncle Sam paid
Off over six hundred million bucks
worth of debts and not a radical
the matter. They all
put cotton in their ears and went
on yelling about revolution.
BY the way, a swell investlga-
tlOn might be started to find out
why Reds wear cotton In their ears.
We already know it's not to clean
'em. Must he so they can't hear
what they are saying. Or do they
take It out when they talk to each
other?
OF course there are many minor
subjects which could be lnvesti-
gated with a fair amount of profit
and excitement. such as why WON
en- wear stsaw hats In February
and felt ones in August. Why moth
ers-in-law come to visit and why
even Lloyds will not issue lnsur-
ance against gossip. Also why a
hang nver is no more Of a warn.
Ing than Is capital punishment, and
II mice could increase their pOpu.
arity by growing squirrel-like tails.
Hey, no, l guess you're going
crazy, too. by this timei And prob
ably the thought has occurred to
you as well as to me, that these
last are questions which not even
woman club member could answer.
POllyanna was a popular figure
Until somebody ruined the gars

But believe me. what the coun-
