Christmas Nlenlep

Christmas was once abolished by an act of parliament in Eng land. That was in 1644 when the Puritans under Oliver Cromwell governed the realm. The Prri- tans' disbelief in holiday enjoy. ments was so intense that pariia ment ordered Christmas to be ob- served as strict fast day. Na roast beef, no plum pudding, no wassail were permitted.
 Although turkey is the essential feature of Christmas dinner 10 day, the bird was unknown in England in the 18th century. r. troduced from America, 1t cam. into it's present popularity in the early 1700s.
 In several states of the Union there is definite law forhiddire anyone from interfering with child's belief in Santa Claus.
 
 Some European peoples have q superstition dating from an- cient times-that animals take on tss power of speech at Christmas s;1ie.

WIPE CLOSES LOCAL OFFICE

War Production Board offices in Alaska will close on June 30, it was announced today by Norman C. Stines, Alaska director. The revocation of numerous limitation orders during the past few weeks has left few items that still re- quirs priorities.

 Since early in 1914 the Fair banks office has been maintained with the Office of Defense Trans portation in the Model Cafe Building, where Marian Ander- son acted as secretary.

CARTOONISTS of yesteryear

loud suit covered with SIS signs
and always with a huge cigar,
or heater, stuck in the pan.
Whether tffis- WAS tftie -to-iife

the only capitalist of my ac-
quaintance in those days was a
fellow in our neighborhood whom
every one spoke of as being
"well-fixed". He had a city

This well-fixed fellow finally
got we'll fixed when an indig-

THESE
DAYS
1--WE factors exist in the Pal

1--WE factors exist in the Pal
estinian problem:
The Jews. who throughout
their history have regarded Pal
estine as their land of promise,
today face the practical propo-
sition that the surviving Jews
in Europe are homeless and
have no other place to 60 to;
Palestine for them is no longer
a dream, an ideal, a promise.
II is life or death.
2-The Arabs claim Palestine
as their land by occupation and
tenure. They are actually in
possession and are strengthened
in their unwillingness to permit
the increase of Jewish popula-
tion by the course Of current
politics.
3-To the Christian world,
Palestine is the land of the
Bible. the land of the birth and
death of Christ and OF the
Apostles and of the holy places.
They cannot, on the one hand.
ignore the possibility of a re-
surgence Of Islamic conquest of
Christian areas and. on the
other, they desire that Christian
memorials remain in Christian
hands.
british imperialism insists
on the areas on the Red Sea
and within the orbit of the SueZ
Canal remaining under British
hegemony TO protect the empire.
And further, they fear the
economic consequences of the
development of an important
industrial and commercial CEN
ter in the crescent of fertility,
which includes Palestine, lest
il weaken the British economic
and political position in the
world. Also they fear the
implications OF a Moslem revolt
against Europe.
5-The United States has be-
come entangled in this situation:
(a) BY guaranteeing the Bal
four declaration by the treaty
Of 1925. assuring the Jews a
homeland In Palestine - in re-
sponse 10 a resolution introduced
in the Congress by Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge and Con-
gresham Hamilton Fish.

The gentleman should be
taller than the lady he intends
to kiss. Take her right hand In
yours and draw her gently TO
you; pass your left hand over
her right shoulder dlagonally
down across the back, under her
left arm; press her to your

will throw her head hack and
You will have nothing to do but

YOUR
HEALTH
BY HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD.

A NUMBER Of investigations
"A have shown that certain
disorders in women during the
childbearing period occur more
frequently II these women are
non a poor diet than when they
follow a good diet.
These disorders include ane-
mia. or lack of coloring in the
blood, premature birth OF the
baby, and toNemia or poisoning.
Therefore. II IS wise 10 exert
every effort 10 see that the eX-
pectant mother receives a good
diet. not only for her own sake,
but also 10 help insure the
health Of the infant and 10 aid,
perhaps, in preventing prema-
ture birth.
Another important thing In
the care of the infant Is 10 do
everything possible to see that
he is breast fed.
However, the percentage OF
babies who are breast fed tends

10 drop sharply after the second
week OF life.
THIS may be due TO poor man.
Il agement on the part Of the
mother or others. but. accord
ing 10 Or. Jean NJ. Macintosh
Of Birmingham, England. IL may
be due to inadequate diet OF the
mother during pregnacy as well
as after delivery.
In England, because Of food
shortages. il has been necessary
10 supply various vitamin and
mineral preparations. but II the
diet contains an abundance OF
milk, meat and eggs. vegetables.

ration, other dietary supple
ments as rule will not be

DIARRHEA and enteritis, or
~ inflammation Of the bowel,
Detroit evening times., 1945-11-10

account for a good percentage of
infant deaths which, OF course,
Is far too high. Three-fourths Of
the deaths from these causes
occur before the babies reach
the age Of s months.
II is a well-estahlished fact
that the number of cases Of
diarrhea. as we'll as the number
OF infants who succumb to il. is
far greater among those arti-
ficially fed than among the
breast fed.
DR.. Macintosh believes that
the encouragement OF breast
feeding may help 10 prevent
respiratory infections; also, that
by improving the diet Of ex-
pectant and nursing mothers,
and by seeing TO il that there
is a higher percentage OF breast
fed babies. much can be done
10 prevent infant sickness and
deaths due 10 prematurity,
weakness and diarrhea.
