Inaugural Ball Atmosphere
Foreshadowed Jan 80

Washington probably will "steal
the show" from the rest of the
Nation in the celebration Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's birthday anniver-
sary on January 80 at a series of
dances which will come only a fort
night after the inaugural and will
take on many aspects of an inau-
gural ball.
The committee in charge already
has assurance that the celebration
will be attended by important NOV
ing picture, radio and stage stars.
Promoters Of the celebration ex-
pect thousands of visitors to remain
| In Washington for the inaugural
and benefit dances according to
Keith Morgan, national chairman of
the benefits.
Former District Commissioner
George E. Allen is a member of the

| Committee, along with Commission
ers Melvin c. Hazen and j. Russell
Young and Corporation Counsel

boy Eric. He was a head taller
than Saul He had thick, yellow
hair. bright blue eyes and warm
laugh. He was known all up and
down the coast as the finest sailor
in the land. He had made Saul
and Inga very happy.
That Christmas morning after
breakfast the three of them un-
wrapped their gifts. There was
just a little box by Eric's plate.
He opened it carefully. Out fell
a gold locket and a tiny white
sea sheel Eric looked up at his
father and mother in surprise.
Saul and Inga were watching
and they chuckled. They knew
the story of the locket and the sea
shell, because the mermaids had
told them. So now they told 1t to
Eric.
Must Travel Far"
"You must travel this year, Eric,
said Saul IF you prove brave
enough you will be king this time
next year. That locket you may
open three times when you are in
danger and each time it will bring
you help The sea shell will take
you anywhere on water"
Eric was both sad and happy as
he prepared to set out at once. His
mother gave him a new leather
jacket and fine leather leggings
His father gave him a bow and
arrow and a leather pouch to sling
over his shoulder.
Eric kissed both his parents and
they walked part way through
town with him. They smiled hap
PLY as he left because they felt
certain he would succeed. You see
he was their son and they were
proud Of him.
Half way up the mountain Eric
met an old beggar walking with
stick. You and I know that il
was Santa in disguise. But Eric
didn't.
Good father" said Eric, this
is hard walking for you. May
help?"
Santa chuckled. He was pleased
to see that Eric had such good
manners. But he also wanted tc
see if he was brave before he told
Eric of the good, gray Queen and
her troubles.
Santa said, 81 live in the coolest
land there is. I have great deal
of work there to do, but before
70 home I should like to find a
travelling companion. Would you
! like to go?"

Many p ersonS who have noted that family reunions have gone out of fashion have blamed this to peo- pie now living farther apart than they used to be in the horse-and- buggy days. Relatives are farther apart now, perhaps, but the auto mobile and distance telephone still make 1t as easy for a family scattered over couple states to get together.
 The facts in the case are that families are weakening in the U. S.
 There are more families, but they are smaller. Today the average family numbers only slightly more than three persons. In grand fathers day, there were six to eight

have weakened the younger mem bers' pride in the family by making them feel the others are old fashioned, Family pride as well as family size may have taken tumble.
 On every side We see signs of these changes. Big houses are empty and rotting while small houses are being built in every suburb. Agri- cultural scientists had to develop lighter-weight turkeys for smaller families. Even cemetery plots are smaller today than they used to be. And there are more "only" children for grandparents to spoil.
 But we should not let family pride wither just because the size of the family has shrunk.

Thank God for himi He knew the secret place; The sweeter music wooed from mother earth; The harmony that brings the hearts rebirth, Invisible, but potent in life's race. Pursuing rhythm with kindly pen Like some great line from Homerc song He voiced the fire and passion of the wrong .. His wounds healed he ever speaks to men. The hills of poppies' gold were his delight In that charmed land where sunset lights the sand; Remember him where fortune held his hand, And fragrant blossoms him at night. In bravery he climbed beyond ken .. This Is not death he Is our own againi
