THE CHRISTMAS TREE

From woodland retreats, from
rocky hillsides. there come rolling
down to the cities and towns the
little evergreen trees that are To
blossom out December 25 with gen
Crous fruit. What mighty forests
they would make if allowed to de-
velop, say some experts.
We can build our forests without
depriving the children of the love
lest of Christmas sights, that of the
tree with its festive colored lights
and sparkling tinsel. Whatever hap
rens to the forests, you can't deny
the children that grand sight.
Those trees thus prematurely cut
will never grow into forest. In a
few days they will be cast out in the
back yard. but while they shine in
the home, they help something else
grow in the heart of youth. That
something is faith that this is a
world of kindness. When that
thought grows into maturity, it is
more valuable than any green tree in
the wild forest.

THE GIFT CUSTOM

They say it is wholly self-seek-
ing world, with the devil take the
hindmost" the general motto. Yet
for a short period of the year, the
devil is requested to go way back
and sit down, while people do a lit
tie thinking about comforting happi-
ness on their friends by the means
Of nice Christmas gifts.
Some people say the custom is
overdone. that many people give
more than they can afford, that
many gifts are unsuitable. Yet the
whole idea represents unselfishness.
One can imagine that the angels in
heaven conclude that humanity is
rot wholly gone to the dogs when
they see this generosity.
Now that people are to make all
these nice and beautiful gifts, the
question rises how to accomplish
the most with them. The most sue
cessful givers are those who take
rains to find out what their friends
want. If what they need is food and
plain articles of clothing, it is far
from sensible to hand over some fam
cy article fitted only to please some
hCme of luxury.
Articles of beauty are not out as
sifts. There are many people who
would be chcered and encouraged by
some lovely decoration for their
homes or themselves. They would
perhaps not buy such things out of
their own money A gift of that
character would throw ray of sun
li-lt into their often dull and drab
liv,s. and send them on TO their
C;ily work with n bit of song in
the heart.

cry kind of a gift that our people

GERMANY'S MINE CAMPAIGN

Adolf Hitler has boasted that
Germany possessed a new and ter
lible weapon that would be used
with deadly effect against its British
enemy. 1t would look as if the
mines which have recently sent so
many ships to the bottom constituted
this new weapon. Will this powerful
means of warfare convince the Eng
lish people that they would better
knuckle down under the fierce on
slaught of their foes, and meekly ac-
cept whatever settlement may he
offered?
Already the Nazis are claiming
that they control the North Sea. and
that Britains supremacy on the
ocean has been broken. The. block
ade around Germany. which shuts
out the bulk of the goods coming into
that country. appears to be fairly
tight. There are loopholes by
which some merchandise slips in
through neutral ports, but the Ger
man war power will suffer from the
scarcity of needed supplies.
Probably the Nazis feared to un-
loose this mine warfare earlier in
the war, knowing that it would sink
many neutral vessels. Thus it arous-
es anger in countries they wish TO
conciliate. In their mad desperation
they have let loose the fiercest dogs
CT war, and will have to take the
consequences that follow such bar
harous acts.
1t seems very unlikely that those
Germans can ever lay enough of
those mines TO cut England off from
it's food and war supplies. If the
mines block the entrance TO one
harbor, the ships can land some
where else.
In a time when heavy bombing
airplanes carry 5000 to 10000 pounds
IF explosives, such aircraft could
carry tremendous lot of food into
Britain if the sea blockade got too
tight. So the powers of Europe are
it tooth and nail, dog eat dog. and
the dove of peace looks very down
hearted and sickly.

FOUNDATION OF LIBERTY

One of the worlds most precious
pieces Of paper was locked up in the
Library of Congress at Washington
a few days ago. The security and
liberty which we all feel under the
stars and stripes got its first basis
and protection when that piece of
paper was signed 722 years ago in
England.
That piece of paper is one of
four existing copies of the venerable
document called the Magma Charta"
or great charter. 1t was signed by
King John of England. 1t greatly
restricted the power which kings had
exercised. 1t protected life. liberty,
and property 1t provided that no one
was to be condemned on rumors or
suspicion, but only on evidence of
witnesses.
A copy of that great charter was
sent to every cathedral in England,
and it had to be read to the people
twice year. Those were days when
democracy was hardly thought of. /
When those people heard that great
document read, they saw that kings /
did not have the right to control /
their lives. They conceived the idea
that government was a contract be-
tween a king and his people.
The war for American independ-
ence and the United States constitu-
ton resulted from those ideas. If
The people were to be free, it fol-
lowed that they had the right to
choose whether they wanted a king
Cr not, also TO make their own laws.
The battle for freedom was won in
our country when the Revolutionary
war ended in 1888. People in Eu-
ope thought it was won over there
many years ago. Recent events in
Europe have shown that it is not
finally won i'm those lands even yet.
and men are dying by the thousands
today to secure these magma charta
principles. We can well be thank
full in America that they are given us
1s our natural right, and we do not
have to die to keep them alive.

TIE TOY WORLD

The Christmas season leads the
small people into a new and won
aerful world. When you take a
ycungster into the toy department
If one of our nice stores in Milford
3, is q pleasure to see his eyes
sparkle and his lips expand in a
joyous smile. When you buy him a
few OF those things for Christmas,
his dancing feet and excited hands
will show how deeply he longs for
these treasures of childhood
Some parents look at toys as
merely something with which to
keep the child mind occupied, so that
its restless nature will not con-
stantly be getting into trouble and
creating new problems. Toys do
serve that very useful purpose. Very
many kids have been diverted from
acts of mischief by the destinations
Of the jumping jack, the toy rail
road. the appeal of set of tools.
The remedy for juvenile bad be-
bavior is found in giving the young
mind occupation.
Toys should be more than mere
scheme for diverting youth from
mischief. They are the natural tools
with which the child begins his work
in the world. He likes to do things
with his hands. When you give him
Il toy hammer or saw or box of build
ing blocks, or anything initiating the
activities of grown-ups, he begins to
use those little hands of his, and they
grow more skilful.
The funny little mechanical toy
stimulates his imagination, and he
asks what makes those wheels go
around. He inquiries into the opera
ton of the machines that the older
people use. If you give him the i'm
plements of athletic sport, you equip
him with the means by which he can
mold his own in the child world. The
child without toys should be pitied.
Generous people should see that no
youngster has a doleful Christmas
because he is excluded from the
wonderful toy world.

Good Sport On Opening,
 Duck Season
Birds Plentiful . Hunters Fill Bags Here Under
 CIoudIess Sky

Ducks flew high but in abun- dance yesterday and virtually all the hundreds of hunters who were out for opening day brought home birds. Many had limit bags.
 Compliance with the law was excellent, Assistant Executive Off, ficer Homer w. Jewell of the AL aska Game Commission reported today. A few hunters on the flats along the Glacier Highway opened fire shortly before o'clock and others followed suit in order to get shot at the ducks before they were frightened away.
 Most of the ducks shot near Juneau were teal, though many hunters brought home mallard, sprig and widgeon. Few geese were reported.
 Opening day, in contrast to the weather which has prevailed for the past several weeks, dawned bright and clear. The beautiful weather caused the ducks to fly high, but they were so abundant that most hunters had good sport notwithstanding.
