A Year for Practical Gifts
tKetchikan Chronicle)

tKetchikan Chronicle)
 As Christmas season approaches, service stationed in Ketchikan have suggested that this column put parents and other potential gift gvers wise to the fact that there's on-that the men themselves don't want the home folks vast ing money on useless gifts.
 Some of the men have gone far to suggest no gifts at all. Others suggest bonds or stamps Our opinion is that almost everyone of the serv- ice could some practical gifts--something they could pack around, something they need and use. Naturally, those contemplating gifts to men in the service should find out what the men need and use. The war bond or stamp idea, of course is an excellent one too-a double edged one, to help the recipient and to help win the war
 There is no need to suspend Christmas for the duration. Christmas is the Christian holiday. It is all the fitting in time of that celebrate t-but that we do so with more humility than we have ever shown before
 The practice of giving things away on Christmas is good But that doesn't mean waste or luxury. It is means of expressing truly Christ ian principle It is one of the things are fight ing to preserve.
