It.also because ii is a striking indi-
,ation of how clearly children OF
ess than teen-age are realizing
he basic facts of what goes on in
Europe. Here is what she wrote:
sour country was settled by
people who believed in freedom.
All our laws were made to keep
IL free. Most of the countries In
Europe have lost this way Of liv-
ing and do not have freedom Of
press, freedom of assenblage,
freedom OF speech, or freedom TO
worship God In their own way.
Their way of living Is dictated
by one man and his party.

had n democratic form of gov
eminent, but democracy has
been defeated because the
greater share of the people were

neighbOrs.

little girl on Christmas who did
not have any doll at all--that's
why It's important. Irene Haw-
kins. our woman's editor, tells
me that we now have 1000 dolls
and we need volunteers 10 take
some dolls home TO dress. and
get them back In time for Christ
