MEANING of CHRISTMAS

Could America have had its wish,
our country would not be at War
this Christmas holiday season, and
it is hard to make it very merry
Christmas this year. There is little
peace or good will toward men with
a global war raging.
But the agony the world now en-
dures, and the uncertainty we face,
will help us to feel more keenly
the real meaning of Christmas.
The light of that first Christmas
day still shines bright and clear
above the confusion and alarms of
these troublous times.
Led by its light, men of good
will the world over are struggling
to the end that the promise of
peace for all men shall be achieved.
And it is in that sober mood that
we celebrate again the birthday of
the Prince of Peace and voice again
the age-old Merry Christmas.

REASON FOR CHRISTMAS

The observance of December rs as
the anniversary of our Savior's birth
has been maintained long enough to
create a presumption in the belief
that 1t is an original institution of
Christendom. Nevertheless, the old
est authority for the observance OF
that day as the birthday of Christ
belongs to an epoch separated by a
distance Of three centuries from the
original event, and the festival it
self was celebrated on December rs
In the. West before it was assigned
to that day in the East. 1t is certain
that in A. D. 336, December rs was
observed in Rome as the Festiva.
of the. Nativity of Christ. The au
thority for this statement is Fest
al calendar drawn up by the local
church at Rome in that year. Early
In the Third century,. e., about
100 years before the compilation OF
this festal calendar-Hippolytus
Bishop of Portus, had assigned Wed
nesday, December rs, in the forty
second year of the reign of Angus
tus, as the datet of our Lords birth.

oLD-TIME CHRISTMAS

Our forefathers had few of the
opportunities for enjoyment we
have nowadays, but what opportun-
tiles they had they made full use of
The grand time of mirth and jollit,
landed round about Christmas anG
the New Year, and for days they LEI
themselves go with an enthusiasm
that would leave this present age
far behind.
In county districts all work ceased
for three or four days at Yule. This
meant that for number of weeks
previous fails had to be- busy early
and late threshing a sufficiency OF
straw and grain to last through the
holiday time. The women folks had
to be as busy inside as the men were
out. The "Yeel kebback" had beer
long before well pressed and "wun"
but ale had to be brewed, cakes
bread, and bannocks baked, and &
supply Of smoked fish bought an6
stored for the grand occasion.
In some districts omens were
drawn from the way the wort broil-
ed in the brewing and the way the
cakes behaved in the baking. "Ii
the ort biles l. the pot" was an old
saying. There was an oatcake bak-
ed for each member of the house
hold. and IL cake broke in the bak-
ing. then death was to be the lot OF
its owner before the coming year
had run its course.

ORIGINAL SANTA CLAUS

He is believed to have been ST..
Nicholas a bishop in the year 800.
He was famous for his kindness to
children. 1t is said that one night
wishing to help a nobleman who
was SO poor that he had no money
for his daughters dowry the good
bishop looked in at the old mans
window and saw him asleep by the
are. He then climbed upon the
roof and dropped gold piece down
The chimney, thinking that it would
fall upon the hearth. But 1t fell in
stead in one of the gentleman's
stockings. which his daughter had
hung up to dry beside the fire. This
started the custom of hanging stock
ings over the fireplace and the
legend of Santa coming down the
chimney

STATE SCHOOL BUSES CARRY
$4,000 PUPILS

More than $4,000 pupils are being
transported to and from county
schools in Maryland in LOO We
hicles at a per capita cost of II
cents per day, State Superintendent
of Schools Thomas G. Pullen, Jr.,
reports.
Transportation costs have been
reduced one-third in a ten-year per-
iod, DR.. Pullen revealed, having
dropped from $29.32 per capita in
1881 to 1882 last school year.
AS a result of improvements in
the States school bus-transport sys-
tenn in the past ten years, regula-
lions of the Office of Defense Trans
portation designed to conserve tir-
es, gasoline and equipment rave re-
quired but few changes, he said.
Despite an increase of approxi-
mately 1920 public school pupils
this year over last, it has not been
necessary to add single new bus,
Mr.. Pullen reported.
School authorities have been
compelled to extend existing lines
and add new ones to serve new COM
munities of war workers and rapidly
expanding towns near military res
ervations and war-production estab-
lishments.
The general task has been accom-
plished, the superintendent said by
rerouting buses SO that they can
carry pupils in two directions, by re-
arranging schedules to permit buses
to make two trips instead of one,
and by insisting that pupils attend
the nearest school.
The latter ruling, covered in
bylaw of the State Board of Educa-
tion, Mr.. Pullen explained, means
not only that pupils of one county
may attend schools in the adjoining
county, but that some Maryland
pupils are going to school in West
Virginia and Pennsylvania.
"Our county school Transports
ton systems are thus well-organized
and planned to eliminate any routes
which might be traversed by equip
ment operated by adjoining coun-
ties" said Mr.. Pullen.
sit is a lot easier for county to
arrange to pay for pupils tuition in
an adjoining county or State, or, il
practicable, to handle it on an ex-
change basis, said Mr.. Pullen.
1.-THE success of Maryland's sys-
tenn can be credited to the fact
that it operates on countrywide
basis, instead of, as in many States,
on school-district basis, said Mr..
Pullen.

HIGHER MILK PRICES BEING
ASKED

Higher milk prices to producers
are being asked by Interstate Milk
Producers Cooperative. The Board
of Directors of this organization rep
resenting more than 5000 farmers
authorized their general manager,
o. H. Hoffman, Jr., to petition the
Agricultural Marketing Administra-
ton to call hearing for the con-
sideration of an increase in prices
paid producers who are subject to
Federal Marketing Order 81, which
covers Philadelphia, Delaware coun-
ty and suburban areas of Montgom-
cry county.
This move, it was stated by Hoff-
man, was made in order to protect
the supply of milk for the Philadel-
phai market, which supply has be-
come dangerously low. It was en-
phasized that producers must get
an increased price If they are to
compete with industry for labor or
to hold their present skilled farm
labor.

THE AMERICAN TURKEY

Perhaps the most distinctive fea-
ture Of our American Christmas
dinner Is the turkey. This noble bird
is q Christmas feast requirement,
WHISTLER the dinner be prepared in
Texas or Wisconsin, New York or
California. It IL interesting to recall
the origin of our national Christ
mas bird. The story Of Capt. Smith
fresh from his wars with the Turks,
surveying the wild fowl in the for
ests Of Virginia and Of his uproar-
ious laughter upon seeing the
turkey gobbler strut proudly be-
fore the hens Is perhaps fresher in
che minds Of our school children
than IN our own. At any rate, we
a&reo width his comparison Of the
proud gobbler, for he lis exactly
like the proud Turk showing OF be-
fore his harom". SO the name turkey

denies the charge that the nations
workers have been winning so many

The President passes over abso-

except for the fact that the workers
have very little to say about their
