CHRISTMAS
LIVES ON

THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS has not failed man
kind, even in this dark year of 1941. Rather
has section of mankind failed to believe In, and
live in, the concept of peace on earth, good Will
toward men,"
The spirit of Christmas will not fail mankind.
Led by those great nations in which the precepts
of Christianity have always been strongest, almost
fourfifths of the earths population are ralying to
the defense of the blessings of peace and good will
Even in those lands where the heel of war and
oppression and privation has ground deepest, that
spirit still lives. The Cross of Christianity and the
of victory still glow in the hearts and visions OF
the beaten and the hungry and the oppressed The
spirit of Christmas will live in the hearts of men
until the end of time. It's triumph in the present
hour of trial is foregone conclusion.
For the spirit of Christmas is firmly rooted in
the hearts and minds of many millions, who have
Both in the spiritual and practical the spirit OF
Christmas eptomizes the freedom and dignity OF the
individual man, toward which all have been striving
since the beginning of history. Thus the principle
of "peace on earth, good will toward men" becomes
the only channel through which this goal can be
achieved
Knowing these things, mankind will not permit
the spirit of Christmas to be stamped out. And to
defend the spirit of Christmas, America must once
again "spend her blood and her might for the prin-
cples that gave her birth, and the peace that she
has treasured"
This Christmas season has very special mean
ing to all Americans. We will never break faith with
the spirit of Christmas, no matter how long and
difficult may be the road to peace and good Will.
To you and yours we wish the very best of good
fortune and good cheer this, one of the most
important of all Christmas days.

Montgomery County's form of
government is not Anticipated be-
cause of the age of the precepts
upon which it is founded, but ac-
tually has kept step with progress,
Joseph B. Simpson, Jr., Rockville
attorney told the Montgomery
County League of Women Voters
at their Rockville meeting Friday.
Simpson, former counsel to the
county commissioners, spoke in
place of County Commissioner
Thomas Earle Hampton, who had
been announced as speaker but was
unable to attend.
Simpson said too much emphasis
had been placed on the antiquity
of the county form of government.
1t is because it was formed to pro-
vide representative government and
to safeguard the rights of the in
dividual and his property that it
has continued so long, he said
Changing conditions have caused
changes in the governing but the
principle remains the same as that
guaranteed by the Constitution, he
said.
"The gauge Of government an
tiquation is whether it functions
for the benefit Of the people,
Simpson said, in urging that th'
present form Of government anC
its benefits be studied well before

He suggested that the council
form of government urged by the
Bookings Institution survey would
deprive the voters of the right to
vote for other than the councilman
from his district. This would be
contrary to the precept Of govern
ment by the people, he said, and
would encourage log rolling. Ad-
ministration Of the county affairs
would be lodged in the hands of
officials not responsible directly TO
the people, he pointed out. Simpson
declared the fexibility Of the COM

been demonstrated earlier in the

been enacted by the commissioners
for the safety of the people.

he said was second TO none in

Special League
Women Voters
Session Jan. Z s
Emergency Meeting To Be
Held In Indianapolis, Mrs.
Miner Hostetler Reports

A called meeting of the General
Council Of the National League of
Women Voters to plan methods of
extending League knowledge and
experience with government to a
wider public in war time viii De
held in Indianapolis January z and
l8.
Announcement of the special SEES
sion was made today by Mrs. Min
Ter Hostetler, Maryland State Lea
que, following a meeting of the
Leagues executive committee in
Washington last week. The COM
mittee recommended 'less &C.
emulation of knowledge for Lea
que members, themselves, and
more sharing with the public" both
within and without the scope of the
Leagues adopted program.
The League Council consists OF
the National board of directors,
the president and one additional
representative from each affiliated
state League. The National board
will hold sessions January 6 and 9.
In explanation of the new meth
eds of League work to be consider
ed by the Council, the executive
committee issued the following
statement:
"a new direction, new tempo
are asked of the League of Wo-
men Voters by a country at wal,
This means new methods Of work
The comfortable safety of being
sure of the wisdom of every small
detail before expressing an opin.
ion, even our own education by ex-
haustiye, careful study groups =
these we must temporarily sacri-
fee. The League, to pull its oar to-
day, must stop boarding its exper-
fence and knowledge within its
membership. It must share this ex-
perience and knowledge with the
general public; it must reach not
five but five hundred times as
many as in the past"
Among the technique for shar.
ing League experience with gov
eminent, outlined by the officers
were simple interpretations of is
sues for the benefit of the general
public, and expressions Of official
League opinion on measures upon
which League knowledge permits
judgment.
The Montgomery County League
Of Women Voters is prepared to
furnish leaders and information fo1
block or neighborhood groups or
such subjects "What We Are De-
Tending" a review of local, state
and national government; Civil Ii
berries, Cost of Living, Housing
and School Problems in Defense
Areas, Inter-American relations

venient locations in each district
and to be distributed upon order

the sand ask your air raid war
den for an order and. he will tell
you where 1t may be obtained.
The commissioners requested that
any county residents who have
additional cotton bags which will
hold about Is pounds Of sand
bring them to the nearest police
station and donate them for use

The best way to put out an
incendiary bomb is to drop a 25

DDS of combating incendiaries
with the sand can be obtained
