EVEN WHERE the Fascist heel
has ground most brutally, there
springs up an underground move
ment and its press. Even when to
be caught means to be beaten and
tortured and finally made to stand
beside a self-dug grave. there are
men and women steadfast enough
to risk this daily, not only for
themselves but for their loved ones.
too For the urge that dwells deep
in freedom-loving people to pub
lish the truth is hard to kill. In
fact il cannot be killed. Not even

is an inspiration TO the men and
women of Americas press. When
the truth can actually be printed
and circulated under the blood
hound noses of the Gestapo, il is a
challenge to Americans TO keep the

THE ORIGIN of traditions, par
ticularly those connected with oul
celebration of Christmas, is one o.
the fascinating studies Of Ameri
can people. Who put up the frs
Christmas tree? Why do our chill
dren hang up their stockings
What children first knew about
Santa Claus? All the lovely fancies
which have been added to the cell
ebration of the Nativity enhance
the gay festivities of the Christmas
season, and the stories of these
Christmas customs and traditions
are told and retold
One of these traditions is now
just 40 years old! And this year
when Christmas trees are scarce,
when families are scattered and the
traditional Christmas dinner can
not be held, this 4O-year-old ira
dition still has a part in the holt
day celebration. The Christmas
Seals appear as usual.
1t was in 1904 that the King of
Denmark authorized the first
Christmas Seals which bore the
picture of Queen Louise. The whole
idea was the dream of Einar Hol-
bOell. a Danish postal clerk. Now
forty years later these little Seals
are sold round the world, in 46

In America the Seals +
