Off They Co

Santa couldn't frown at Helga
very long after she ran off to ski
with the white fox. She looked SO
happy
She even asked Mrs. Santa if she
could string together the necklaces
of tiny, silver bells that Mrs. Santa
ties about the necks of white woolly
dogs.
Santa was so pleased he whispered
to Mrs. Santa. well I'm glad she's
taking an interest. I was afraid of
that fox"
Hes bad one said Mrs. Santa.
But they didn't even guess what
Helga was thinking AS she strung
the silver bells she thought, III
hide II of these and tonight I'll
give them to the white fox
And that's what she did. The day
passed and Santa shooed all the
dolls to bed at eight. Helga crept
into her bed chuckling because
under the pillow was hidden the
necklace of silver bells for the
white fox. Soon the whole toyshop
was asleep The flames in the fire
place died down.

Hartford Takes Initiative

Faced with mounting governmental costs Hartford is embarking upon an experiment which will place responsibil- ity for conduct of the city during the next two years directly upon it's citizens. Mayor Thomas J. Spellacy some time ago called attention to the fact that the present tax rate was inadequate if the city continued to maintain its present stand- ard of service It is now at the point where Hartford must choose between an increased tax rate or loss of certain servicessit has come to expect and accept as necessary.
 During January there will be public hearings at which property owners, tax payers, and other interested persons may express their opinions on two budgets. One of these budgets will retain the pres ent tax rate of 26.7 mills. The other budget calls for tax rate Of 3l.5 mills which will be necessary if the city should merely operate on scale similar to that on which it is now working. As matter of fact, although the Hartford tax rate for this wear was set at 267 mills and has been since maintained at that figure, ex- penditureS have been on scale that de- fnands the 31.5 mill rate.
 It will be interesting to see how the people will decide between the so-called ahonest" and economy budgets To date the interest manifest in the financial status of the city has been discouraging. Little or no response has been given the officials requests for comment and advice. Now the issue is squarely up to the public We're wondering if perhaps the same attitude will prevail and despite the fact that the situation may be critical, little or no comment will be given. If that's the case the officials would be jus tified in retaining present governmental services, no matter the cost to the tax payers.
 One thing this situation will show is just how much interest people are act ually taking in their local government. We have organizations today who main- tain that more interest is being shown by the average man in what is being done by the men and women he elects to public office. We wonder If this can be proved by just such set of circumstances that are arising in Hartford, where certainly interest must be shown to get results.

room. We still have the rich, the poor and the in-between. We still have the generous rich and the selfish rich.
 In this year of 1887 1t is brought home to us that millions recognize the Nativity. All the symbols of the season, the stars the bells, the pretty figures and the arr tistic creches, attests that a pretty good portion of the human race appreciates and recognizes the meaning of Christmas, The display of symbols may be just a gesture or an outward display, but at least have some slight belief in what the stars, the creches and so forth, stand for. They are acknowledging, perhaps indif- ferently some of them, Christian feast. Some countries have outlawed Christmas. So it is brought home to us that m the midst of world chaos, hates, greeds ana wars, that we should concentrate on the lessons of the Nativity and "peace on earth to men of good will" The span of years between is great, but the meaning of Christmas is the same.

The Saviour Jesus Christ began His life in manager in the little town of Bethlehem. He came into the world more than nineteen hundred years ago in troublesome times. We live in different world today, you might say; different, but similar to be contradictory The sequence of events during any age in history presents inevitably parallels The world at that time as measured by Far East boundaries was full of petty dissen- sions, jealousies and greeds. There were the good, the bad and the in-between. There were living in proximity the rich. the poor and the in-between; even as now. There were greedy rich and kindly rich; those who Haunted their wealth and oppressed the poor; and those who did not.
 The story of the Nativity is familiar me, and in the parlance of the day, a nost popular one, best seller. Its beauty sattested in that one never tires of hear 1g those events narrated.

Iii wide span between the two Christ masses. Yet we find that many of the same conditions exist now as then. The greeds, hates and wars that existed within the boundaries when Herod was King of Judea, have gone along with the growth and expansion of the world. History de- scribes and chronologizes unlimited great epochs. The lessons of the Nativity are still preached.
 Each period in the worlds history pre- sents it's good and bad phases During each there have been times of war and peace, of friendliness and unfriendliness. It seems to be foreordained that we do not profit by the misfortunes and calamities of previous epoch. At the present time, because of the vast resources of nations, the educational advantages and the like, it would seem that civilization should have advanced to some degree of perfec- ton if not brotherly love. But most nations hate one another. For a great many poor and oppressed there is still no

THE FIRST CHRISTMAS

that Jesus the Saviour, who was God, stepped out of His divine role for time so that those of this earth might absorb a little of His divinity. We are told, and Christians believe, that this was the pur- pose of the Nativity. Back in the reign of Herod there were those who were as skep- tical and unbelieving as they are today. The humble and the oppressed were pushed about in those 6ays, and among those who appreciated sorrows as well as joys were Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Joseph and Mary first experienced the unkindness of their fellowman when, coming to Bethlehem in Judea they could find no place where they would be re- ceived. There was no room for them any
 where, so they continued along, and found refuge in a stable. There were a few animals there, and no one of import ance in the vicinity except few Shep- herds on the adjacent hillsides watching their sheep. Thus the Nativity, the claS- sic of all times which is the meaning of Christmas, which in turn means Christ.

The death of Frank B. Kellogg came just at time when the efforts of such type of men as he was are sadly needed to preserve world peace. The famous Kel- logg-Briand peace pact by which 59 nations rejected war as means of settling disputes brought him international fame, but the Kellogg-Briand peace pact today is not preventing bloodshed as nations grab for what they want and others have. The life of Frank Kellogg was typically American. He was born in New York state, but much of his early life was spent on a Minnesota farm, where his father was homesteader. His schooling was rudimentary and much of his success was due to his own efforts and ambition. He achieved the highest prominence in his own country and rapped at international heights. Only in such land as ours would such meteoric rise and career be at all possible.
