A Christmas Carol
x
By Henry W. Longfenow

l hear along our street
Pass the minstrel throngs;
Harkl They play so s,oeet,
On their Hautboys, Christmas songs!
Let us by the fire
Ever higher
Sing them till the night expire!
In December ring
Every day the chimes;
Loud the gleemen sing
In the streets their merry rhymes.
Let US by the fire
Euer higher
Sing them till the night expire!
Shepherds at the grange,
Where the Babe tUas born,
Sang tUith many change
Christmas carols until morn.
Let us by the fire
Ever higher
Sing them till the night expire!
These good people sang
Songs devout and sweet;
While the rafters rang,
There they stood with freezing feet.
Let US by the fire
Ever higher
Sing them till the night expire!
Nuns in trigid cells
At this holy tide,
For pant OF something else,
Christmas songs at times have tried.
Let US by the fire
Eper higher
Sing them till the night expire!
Who by the freside stands,
Stamps his feet and sings;
But he tohO blotUs his hands
Not so gay a carol brings.
Let us by the fire
Euer higher
Sing them till the night expire!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

OF all the days we celebrate,
Christmas is the one that inspires
the most universal joy. Nations have
their festive days, their carnivals
and holidays, but once in the year,
and Just once, comes that happy day
of worldwide observance. You can
not cut Christmas out of the calen-
dar, nor out of the hearts of men.
Aside from the great religious
Significance that the day carries
with it, Christmas emulates the
spirit of cheer and friendliness. A
day when the cares of business and
the work-a-day world are forotten
and the household chores become
pleasing burdens. A day when the
young folks take keen interest in
the joys of the young.
Yes, Christmas comes but once a
year, but come it will, and its COM
ing is eagerly looked forward to by
both young and old.
May its religious predominence
ever shine, and may Its JOY and
cheerfulness ever linger.
We wish our readers very
Merry Christmas!

KEEP YOUR FIRES FRIENDLY
AT CHRISTMAS TIME

There's nothing SO cheerful as a
blazing log in the fireplace at Christ
mas time, or a. good warm fire in the
furnace or stove. These are friendly
fires that help US enjoy the friend
lest of stasons. But when fire breaks
out of bounds, its cheering warmth
quickly changes to destructive heat,
and tragedy stalks through the
home.
At this time of the year, particu-
larly, dwelling houses are apt to be
more vulnerable to fires. Special
precautions are therefore necessary
to guard your family from the pos
sibilities Of injury and loss. One
lighted candle may touch of the en-
tire tree, aided by infiammabie orna-
ments. You know what roaring
IRE O Christmas tree makes. Use
standard miniature electric lights.
The tree should be anchored Sc
curely so it cannot topple over, non
inflammable ornaments should be
used. Smokers also have an espec-
ial obligation to be careful during
the holidays in rooms where trees
and other decorations are located,
as well as tissues and paper from un-
wrapped gifts.

SEAL SALE NEARING HOME
STRETCH

With the annual Christmas Seal
Sale nearing the home stretch, Doc
tor Samuel Wolman, president of the
Maryland Tuberculosis Association,
called upon all Marylanders to pur-
chase the Christmas Seals that they
have received.
Medical science can cure tuber-
culosis", Doctor Wolman said, but
it is necessary that we find those
with the disease first. Through the
purchase of Christmas Seals, every
county in Maryland has at least one
free clinic month through which
tuberculosis can be found.
"In order for these clinics to be
continued" Doctor Wolman con-
cluded, "it is necessary that everyone
buy Christmas Seals. tuberculosis is
a communicable disease and by pro-
tecting one home. we protect all
homes.
One of the most ingenious methods
of using Seals was devised by a news
boy, Jesse Zielski, whose stand is
ON a busy corner in downtown Bal
timore, Mr.. Zielski placed seal on
every newspaper he sold.
sMr. Zielski's action carries on a
tradition" Phillip s. Morgan, vice.
president of Maryland tuberculosis
Association said, as he explained
that the first purchaser of a Christ
mas Seal in the United States was
another newsboy whose sister had
tuberculosis, and whose words were,
Gimme one, my sisters got it."

Bethlehem Unchanged
In Twenty Centuries

Bethlehem, "royal David's
city," is still a city set on a hill.
It is about six miles from Jeru-
salem.
1t is a city of f1at-roof homes
which look coy enough, and its
narrow streets have an air Of
friendliness.
More Christians live in Bethle-
hem than in any other town in
Palestine. On its hillsides you
may still see shepherds with Their
f1ocks, while blinking overhead
are the everlasting stars.

Army took two of three battles with
Navy here today, routing the MILDLY
lacrosse team, 13 to 2; winning at
tennis, 6 to 3, but bowling in golf, 3-6.
As the Navy won the track meet

Cadets finished on the short end,

Three thousand watched the stick
match from stands erected on the
plains near the parade grounds.
Army took the offensive immedi-
ately. and did not relinquish it until
the fourth period, when Cadet re-
serves were used freely. Set plays
were used often by the Cadets to
score.
Gillem, Mitchell and Thigpen stood
out with brilliant team work. After
scoring three goals in each the first
and second quarters, and six in the
third, the Army stars were all re-
moved from the game, including
Fairlamb, brilliant goalie.
Wier scored first for the Navy,
when he took shot from Antle in
the second period, and fired in a
hard body twisting shot. Green ac-
counted for Navy's other goal, when
he took q pass from behind the
goal and tossed one in from close
up. This was after Fairlamb had
