New Servicemen's
Club In Harlem

NEW YORK-(ANP)- The Sal
vation army opened its newest SER
vicemen's club in the heart of
Harlem, 224 West 124th st. last
week. Six floors of facilities, rang
ing from a brush-up basement to
a party sky-room, were officially
dedicated during the ceremonies.
Visiting soldiers, sailors and ma
rines will find 300 beds to accom-
modate them overnight in this
crowded metropolis. Emergency
arrangements we're made to serve
servicemen even before the new
servicemen's club was open, said
Walter H Roark, club director.
Among the stars of stage, screen
and radio who serve on the enter
tainment committee are Maxine
Sullivan. Bernard Kay, Sammy
Price, Dick Campbell and Canada
Lee. A group of 200 volunteers will
work with the club in extending
cheer and comfort to the camps
and military hospitals near the
metropolitan area.

The important thing is that
Jesus people we're politically dis
franchised and longed for govern
ment of their own; they were not
only economically and socially dis
eliminated against, but were dis
turbed by dissentions among them
selves. To them and to al man.
kind Jesus brought a living mes
sage of Gods goodwill. Tt is the
evergreen hope of which men sing
GLORY to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, goodwill among
men," duke 2:14)
GODS GOODWILL
AS revealed by Jesus Gods good
will was no 'goody-goody' drivel or
faulty like that offered by many
professional religionists. Tt is an
eager, searching, hungering for the
welfare of each person like a
woman searching the house for a
lost coin; like a conscientious ply
sician trying to save the life of a
critically sick patient; like parent
joyfully receiving son home from
the war; like mother caring for
the comfort of her baby; like a
person offering a gift which COM
bines usefulness and beauty. But
God is no effeminate weakling. His
goodwill does not permit people TO
straddle a moral fence. 1t is good
will under cntrol 1t is the ever
green hope of the world
GOODWILL AT WORK
On this 1914 Christmas Festival
the evergreen hope may look
doubtful. The Babe of Bethlehem
seems to lie not in swaddling
clothes but fettered and imprison-
ed by war in a cold manger. But
the hope is ever green as the work
of world peace moves along q rocky
road. Within the past few months
we have witnessed four great hope
full conferences. The food parley at
Hot Springs, the monetary and
economic systems conference at
Breton Woods, the Civil Aviation
Conference at Chicago, and the
conference on a universal society
of nations at Dumbarton Oaks were
all seeking to deal in goodwill with
world problems.

subjects vital to The life of the
country Here Is an expression of
goodwill among men which would
not have been tolerated few
years ago.
Personally. with you. goodwill Is
real Christmas Is the climax Of an
old feeling, not just a one day
veneer. Is this Sunday School talk?
No! 1t is the heart of life. Deep
inside you want to be friendly with
people but you fear being embar-
rasssed. The other fellow wants to
be friendly with you too but he is
also afraid. Why don't you make
the first step? OF course, you will
meet a few "cussed" ones who will
not return your friendlineSs. Love
these fellows more than all others,
they need it, because they are suf-
fering from some disease which
makes them irresponsible.
Gods goodwill will help you
overcome the old crude idea that
whatever works is good. No gift
which demands more money and
more love than we possess is a
great pain. A gift may appear to
work but it is never a substitute
for the friendship, companionship,
kindnesseSs, and daily courtesies
which your family, your friends
and people generally want from
you.
Yes, Christmas represents the
ever green hope that men will live
as friends and brothers in this
raw tough world.

have suggested mans thanks to
God now commercially reveal mans
slavery to a custom.
However, young child may
know Christmas as the birthday of
one whose life enlightened the
world. 1t has been estimated that
Jesus was born about 6 B. c., and
for about the past II centuries we
have assumed December 25 to be
the date of his birth, although this
was originally the Pagan Festival
Day for the birthday of the Sun.
1t is more likely that Jesus was
born in the late summer than in
winter. The young child of our
day should also know that old, old
legend of the Christmas tree, an
evergreen, and how for more than
300 years we have made an in
creasing use of it.

|0PA Official Expects
Tighter Rationing
OF Meat Next Month

An increasing scarcity of better
cuts of all varieties OF meats In
areas of the country away from
production centers Is likely to force
the once Of Price Administration to
place many point-free cuts under
ration again next month, spokeS-
man said today.
The decision as to whether points
will be required in July for meats
other than beefsteak and beet
roasts will not be made for another
week, the spokesman said. ANY ac-
ton to be taken in the matter will
not be made public until late this
month.
OPA said housewives have been
protesting they have been unable to
buy many Of the better cuts, and
some have requested an expansion
of meat rationing.
Since early May, only beefsteak
and beef roasts have cost ration
points. While lower quality cuts
are available. OPA said the better
meats have all but disappeared from
markets in many localities.
Even the beef that calls for points
now Is scarce, OPA said. Retailers
also were quoted as favoring a
restoration of meat point values
because they have received so many
complaints from housewives.
Butter also was reported as din
cult to buy in some sections. 1t
was believed, however, this situ-
alton would be corrected by return
ing more of the meats to rationing,
since then there would be fewer
points for housewives to spend for
butter.
