':Sn1itty .

The following short True Story Is
contributed in the interest OF the
youngsters who will be benefited by
the Presidents birthday drive
against infantile paralysis:
There were eighteen OF us In the
hospital beds at that time. Smitty
was a ringleader in the whoopee
we made: none OF US we're sick,
We we're all polio" patients, adults
having operations for results OF in
fsntile paralysis: Smitty was su'
thority for the statement that II he
had It 10 do over again he wouldn't
have polio, pretty nurses and all.
Cured. he promised 70 set the world
on fire. We all expected TO be SUI
permen when We got out, with only
two. three, four or five more opera
lions. The moral OF this "March-ot-
Dimes treatise must be drawn
quickly before we get back to
Smitty. II Is that the hospital
work must be done while the bodies
are young and flexible because
there's a bit OF mental adjustment
that goes with Il. Perhaps We cant
all be plowmen but can pick out
a highly specialized field and can
be superior In that. Or In sports
We can't be Red Oranges but heaven
help our sdversaries at bridge.
Smitty couldn't reason that out.
And Smtty fell IN love with a nurse.
Every day May sat beside Smitty
and explained about the different
life he would lead In the future
which would come with his first
steps. We noticed the day when
May sat on the edge OF the bed and
held Smitty's hand. That first kiss.
wee as It was with the head nurse
dozen yards away, was loud as
the first shot at Fort Sumter. Then
smitty walked. He limped. and May
said, OF course. for a time. Six
months. and a year went past.
Patient May and haggard Smitty
groaning I'm crippled" with her
answer. "smitty. you're OK You
can now do a hundred things for
which you are specially suited.
Don't pick out the other few and be
Ike that" Finally May quit and
gave him back his diamond Can
Joe Louis paint an oil painting
Isn't everyone as crippled as you
in some way" May still hoped
Smit'y would see the light.
Smitty stepped from a curb in
front Of a passing truck To his
mind, unprepared for the future, Il
seemed the thing 10 do.

quote authorities claiming the Christmas trees origin in France. Scandinavia, Egypt, England and also Germany.
 Only one of all the legends con- meets the Christ Child with the Christmas tree. This story goes back to the manager at Bethlehem where trees from all over the world had come to do honor to the new born babe. Very little attention was paid to the diminutive fire by the other more beautiful, statelier, and majestic trees. Suddenly, though, star upon star fell upon the little fir until it shone with all the bril- liance of heavenly light.
 A Scandinavian tale of woe traces the Christmas tree to that land. Two star crossed, unhappy lovers dra- matically died. From the spot where they died, it is related, tree grew which on Christmas night gleamed with brilliant lights.
 German immigrants to the United States in s1843 are said to have. intro

SAN FRANCISCO.-Anything can happen during the Christmas rush in the department stores here. A recent trip by a reporter to the store in search of story was the cause of him being shunted off to the Lost and Found Department" :"
 There he found story. Besides being true, it also was interesting in that it gave a slant on tn e state of shoppers minds during the rush when presents have to be purchased for those almost for gotten.
 Gloves, said the lady in charge, are objects that shoppers seem to leave most on counters and floors of the store. Each day at least a bagful of gloves, singles most of the time, are turned in to the lost and found department. Consider ing the number of single gloves lost, the woman suggested that gloves should be sold in three's.
 Animals are also turned in to the lost and found Also such pets as canaries, turtles and goldfish. Parents buy pets for their children at Christmas time and then, be- cause of the difficulty in carrying them, in holding them when mak- ing change, set them down some where and also forget to pick them up when off in search for another bargain.
 False teeth are also forgotten by the married shoppers. Most of the times the teeth are turned in from the stores tearoom. the telephone booths, or the restrooms.

GOOD REASONS
 FOR CHRISTMAS

What beautiful and happy things are associated with Christmas. :. holly and mistletoe. candles shining into the night eager, happy children around the Christi mas tree crowds of merry shoppers {. !. family reunions . /. and then the greater and bigger things .. joy in the heart and peace and good will toward all men. 4
 How much of good has blessed the world through the spirit of giving that Christmas awakens in the heart Since the Three Wise Men, led by the light of a
 cleaning star, brought their gifts of, gold, frankincense and myrrh, and laid them at the feet of the Christi Child, men have been bring ing unnumbered gifts of love for the sake of the same Child. 2 Wherever the message of Christ mas has been heard kindness, charity, giving, serving, have fol- lowed How much of hope has been reawakened how much of faith reborn-by the gifts of Christmas . Something of magic seems to touch the smallest thing hat is done for others at Christ mas and how many of these tits of love there are.
 We only dimly can guess at their
 multitude |. and at the hours # happiness and joy they have
 brought to mankind through the iges. But there is One
 who keeps count of them all
 and One who came down to show
 us that the greatest happiness and ,leace, comes to uS--not through elf Indulgence or ease-but from lying and sharing with others.

 AT CHRISTMAS

There is a Scottish belief that to be born on Christmas is to have the power to see spirits and even to command them. Sir Waiter Scott says that the Spaniards attribut- ed the haggard and downcast looks Of Philip II to the terrible visions he was able to see because he was born on Christmas
 French peasants believe that babies born on Christmas have the gift of prophecy.
 Tn Silesia a baby born on Christi mas will become either lawyer or a thief.
 In Middle Europe it is said that if a baby is born at sermon time Christmas eve, someone in the house will die within the year.
 English mothers used to take sick babies to the door Christmas eve midnight. Mary. was expected to pass with the Christ Child. If the baby recovered, it was sign that it had been touched by Christ, with healing fingers, and if it died, the Christ Child had called the baby to be His playmate in heaven.

time the natives brought fir trees into their homes and decorated them with homemade decorations and sweets.
 Despite the origin oI the Yuletide tree, the sale of trees has developed into an extensive, profitable busi- ness. Likewise, tree furnishings be- coming an enormous business in it. self. From records available, it has been learned that over lll,00000o electric Christmas tree bulbs were sold in America every year. Pos- sibly the, amount will not be as large this year as last, but you can be sure that Americans will have their Christmas tree with decora- tions and lights on them.
