CHRISTMAS

And Joseph also went up from Galee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, (because he was of the house and lineage of David0
 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife being great with child
 And it was that while they were there the days accomplished that she should be delivered And she brought forth her frst-born son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manager because there was no room for them in the inn.
 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field keeping watch over their flock by night
 And, To- the angel of the Lord came upon them and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they sore afraid.
 And the angel said unto them Fear not; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people
 For unto you is born this day in the city of David, Saviour, which is Christ the Lord
 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manager.
 And suddenly there was with the angel multi tude of the heavenly host praising God and saying
 Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace good will toward men
 And it to pass as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another. Let us now go even unto Bethlehem. and see this thing which is come to pass. which the Lord hath made known unto us
 And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph and the babe lying in a manager
 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child
 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds

Business Patriotism
Philadelphia Record)

Sacrifices Tor the national defense by no means confined to labor unions that refrain from dsruptiye strikes individuals who are conscripted into the service
 Business too makes sacrifices for defense. The present preparedness drive is by all boom and profit so far business is concerned
 An excellent example of business sacrifice is the decision this week of the Air Transport Association of America to give up an undisclosed number of oirpane engines for use by the U S. Army The air lines had ordered these engines and had taken delivery some of them when Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson called attention to the fact that these purchases slowed down the expansion of our air force and also retarded the delivery of planes to Britain
 The companies promptly entered negotiations with Government officials and announced that they would voluntarily renquish the engines. This means real sacrifice. Air travel is growing, and will faster the effects of the present business upsurge widen out
 Some of the lines will be unable to make planned expansions as a result of giving up these engines.
 Every week brings further signs such this incident that America is uniting against the threat of foreign aggression.

 When read Naz claims of shooting down Is or 20 planes in day raids over England while the English admit to losing only two or three, we sometimes wonder whether the individual records Of German pilots based the number of planes they shot at and then lost sight of or the number actually to have crashed burst into flames or to have fallen apart in the air.
 Specifically, wonder whether Maj Hemuth Wiecke, the No Naz flyer who downed in an air battle the English Channel recently actually had shot down 56 enemy planes, as the Germans claimed It is not detractng iota from Ma j. Wiecke's combat record to say that his exploits cannot compare with those of the great Manfred von Richtofen, German hero of the first World War most of whose victories were won under conditions which made them comparatively easy to verify by both Allied and German observers on the ground and in the air
 If the claims of the German propaganda minis try are to be believed the pilots of the Luftwafe by this time must be all And forgive us for this one), Mussolnis pilots seem to have turned out to be all deuces.

 If part of the world IS at war the greater part still at peace America let be thankful is part of the world that is at peace.
 The story Of the Nativity is our reminder that the hatreds will burn themselves out and that humanity will conquer inhumanty
 It is reminder that the changes we witness not changes either of hunfan ideals or hopes but changes of method such have marked all history changes which will come again but which of faith and courage will face and understand
 The story of the Nativity is our comfort our eassurance that the threats to human decency, the present challenge to human ideals will only strength en the message which He gave 2o00 years ago.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 25

WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 25
 This is day when there may be tendency to dwell on the sad side of life. Although it should be a Merry Christmas, fears may at tend all future planning. It is a day that promises much through letters or written greetings.
 Heart and Home; The stars presage joy in giving unselfish serv- ice. Giving rather than receiving promises real happiness. The stars indicate many separations among members of families As the new year approaches changes in many social customs are forecast and the true holiday spirit will be demon strated by all who look forwari instead of backward. This ts a time for establishments that prom ise pleasant conditions for young and old AA sA
 National Issues: Under this con figuration the urgent need of put ting in order all affairs of the United States government will be realized. The flame of patriotism will be famed by Knowledge of the blessings of great democracy. Unity of thought and action should be apparent among persons in all walks of life. The price of true greatness is added responsi- bility in international relations. La- bor is to cooperate with the Fed eral government in plans for in- vulnerable defense,
 International Affairs. Sabotage in the Navy and Air Service is fore- cast. Strikes, directed by spies and foreign agents, will occur, despite the vigilance of labor leaders Air bases and shipbuilding plants will offer scattered fields of subversive operation. In government head quarters warning is given that tele- phone operators may be fifth col umnists. The Philippine Islands are to furnish a war sensation, it is indicated.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year that is successful. There may be an unusual number of attempts at fraud aimed at prosperous per sons.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be mentally and physi- cally vigorous. They should be ex- tremely intelligent and able to make a great deal of their opportuni- ties.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26
 Benefic aspects rule today which should bring the gayety and hap piness that belong to the holidays. The stars encourage mental and spiritual development. This is an suspicious date for Inequalities.
 Heart and Home: Women arc subject to stimulating and invig- orating influences under this rule of the stars which encourages sen- timent in human relations. Girls may count on romance, and en- agreements to marry made on this date should be most fortunate. This is an suspicious day for de- veloping friendships which will prove helpful in the future. The critical attitude should be overcome, especially in the contemplation of Christmas gifts which are not wisely chosen. Theaters and places of amusement should be much en- joyed under this configuration.
 Business Affairs: Trade should be fair this day after" when there will be much spending of Christmas presents in the form of money. Jewellers will profit, for there will be continued demand both for keepsakes and souvenirs of lasting value, as well as for valuable gems which seem to prom ise safety if bought as investments Tinepieces will be much desired by young persons of both sexes Fashion again will decree the

the Sears & Roebuck Company in pro-
noting the sale of Japanese china and
dinner ware. 1t seems this company
has not changed their attitude, since
they have not even shown us the
courtesy of answering letter of pro-
test written by the secretary Of the
Trades and Labor Council. Therefore,
we request our membership through
out the country to remember this in
the future, especially while doing your
Christmas shopping. Deal only with
stores that have shown themselves
friendly towards union labor and the
"Buy American" movement. Such
action as has been taken by the Sears
Company is a direct slap in the face
of the American pottery worker, and
any potter dealing with this firm cam
not have the interest of the industry
at heart.
This company boasts they have pur-
chased seven car loads of japanese
dinner ware, to be sold on the Ameri-
can market in competition with the
products of the American industry,
although the word competition is
meaningless when the wage scales of
the two countries are compared. This
concern fails to state how much war
material Japan will buy with the
money received. Please stop and think
before purchasing German or Jap
anese goods. Just how much are you
contributing to the miseries of the
unfortunate people under the despotic
rule Of these war mad nations.
You would not help load a plane
with bombs to be dumped on a de-
fenseless people, yet your purchase
of goods made in these countries may
help furnish the bomb that demolishes
| the home, or snuff out the life of some
of the people, who are unfortunate
to be living in a country under the
attack Of the monster. Will the few
cents you think you save compensate
you for the thoughts that you may
be indirectly responsible for the suf
fering Of someone more unfortunate
than you?
We in our great America cannot
realize the heartache and suffering Of
these people, but through our refusa
to purchase goods made in these
countries we can show our disapprova
Of the action of their oppressor. We
should be ever so thankful that VIZ
are permitted to live in a country
such as ours. SO at this Christmas
time, let US fervent prayer be Goo

The Christmas spirit is in evidence
in the various departments, as there
are quite a few with their heads to-
gether and those secretive looks that
tell very definitely they are preparing
for our annual Christmas party.
The nomination of new officers was
opened last meeting night and re-
member it will be open until next
meeting night. 1t behooves each of US
to get out and vote for the one of
our choice, not yell after the election
that the man you wanted lost out and
blame the other fellow for not voting
your way. That is the trouble with
some of our membership. They de-
pend too much on the other fellow to
carry the burdens and then forget the
obligation they owe.
