 During the fleets war games, which began this week, scouting cruisers, destroyers, planes, and possibly an aircraft carrier, are expected to search for a simulat- ed enemy in the rough, foggy waters of the far north.

With home and church, more
than any other time of the year
due to become on Christmas Eve
as the feverish pace slackens, the
ascendant institutions in the land
some here harked back to other
Christmases they had known-vast-
ly different.
Turning the clock backwards
these three related tales this week
of early Christmases in scantily
pioneer surroundings, of intense
cold, of loneliness in a strange new
place. Christmas was different to
them.

in 1894, a French immigrant lad
Of nearly fourteen years, saw his
first Christmas in this country. He
landed in New York on Washing
toms birthday in 1893 with his par
ents, left with them for North Da-
kota where there were more In
dams than white men," I'VE had
big supper" I remember it was
cold. One Christmas I remember

1--WE always hung up our stockings
and got little candy in them but

five, and came to this city when

hazel nuts-there were plenty OF
them. don't think we ever bought
nuts. We had no Christmas tree"
That was the scanty Christmas OF
early pioneers.
