Christmas Mreatbs

In ancient times the Teutons re-
garded holly as u symbol of good
luck. The custom was widespread
of hanging evergreens in the inte-
rior of dwellings. Later the legend
was widely circulated that all grow
ing things blossomed and bore fruit
the night of the Nativity. Holly
came also to symbolic the crown
of thorns worn by Christ. The Puri-
tans, however, regarded holly and
miStletoe decorations as pagan in
nature, and they therefore were out
laWed.

Christmas Dpmns

The Puritans predicted the disap-
pearance Of Christmas carols and
did what they could to discourage
the custom of singing them. But it
has grown more and more a part of
the Christmas tradition which began
in early Christian days in Rome.
The French Noel, dating to the Elev-
enth century, and the German Weih-
nachtslieder, have the same origin.

The United States has a national

which stands more than 267 feet
high. The tree is located In Gen.

east of Fresno, Calf. Devotional

the tree each year since it was
selected in 1925 are broadcast over
a nationwide network.

turers. both of aircraft and auto

the performance and reliability of
American engines. They have con-
stantly endeavored to improve them
by experimental engineering and de-
velopment. They are too busy and
are going to be too busy to tackle
basically new problems in a scien-

not have the equipment to do So

in cooperation with the Army and

Research Necessary.
But development is not enough.

To get the most rapid progress
through research and at the same
time to avoid working at cross pur-
poses and creating overlapping and
duplication, we should literally sup

search in a single well-equipped
Government laboratory, maximum
progress will be made and at much
less cost.

formance through scientific research
must become Immediately available
to the Army and Navy and to the
entire engine industry. and at the
same time be kept secret as long as
possible"
The item for the new engine lab
oratory was described by Represent
ative Woodrum of Virginia, as "one
of the most critical and important
items in the new national defense
bill.
With the greatly expanded ac-
tivity of both the Army and the
Navy in respect to airplanes, it is
absolutely necessary that we should
have this research laboratory" Mr..

Presidents who acquire Office by
violent means. Having proclaimed
that doctrine and secured for it
a certain amount of respect in Latin
America, troublesome sequel
arises. Has not the United States
Government assumed an obligation
to give recognition to that admin
istration which has been legally
elected without violence?
Recognition by the United States
amounts to moral support of meal
culable value to a governmental ad-
ministration in a Latin American
country. Hence if democracy is
to work, an inevitable counterpart
of the good neighbor policy is to
withhold recognition from any
claimant who has a fraudulent title
and thus assist the cause of democ-
racy by seeing to it that only the
choice of the people is given formal
