The United Nations Charter,
drawn up by the delegates at the
San Francisco Conference. begins
with the impressive words-"We
the people of the United Nations"
The charter is now in the hands
of the governments of fifty ma
tions. If that document is to be-
come the basis of an enduring
peace We the people must make
it so.
You might think what can 1
mention just a few things that,
as | see it. we women can do
about it. First of all we M st do
all we can to combat the cyni
cism that seems to he growing to
disparage the peace and the pos
sibilities of realizing the aims of
the Charter. In other words when
we hear it criticized we must
stand up for it. We know that
nations as well as groups and in
dividuals have their short COM
ings. and We must have the Wis
ion to see beyond these. Even in
families the children will have
their contentious and yet these are
not allowed to break up the fam
lily. SO in the great family of ma
tions things may not always run
smoothly, but that need not break
up the relationship.
Then, we women should stop be -
! ing too busy" We all know
women whose stock answer is mo
time" to almost every request for
help. They are the first to COM
plain when things go wrong. 1t is
easy to say Too busy" to the
demands of our childrens school,
our church and our community.
1t is easy but it isn't fair to
let a few do what we should
all be doing. The nation is made
up of communities and as We
make our community so will our
nation be.
We women must accept respon
sibilities. We need to find our
place on committees that Will
form the policies of our civic
groups. We need to concern our
selves about the health condi-

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS AS
FIRST-CI1ASS MAIL

Because of the many adVan-
tages that will result. postmasters
should urge mailers to send their
holiday greetings at the first-class
rate of postage. explaining that
when so sent the greetings may
be sealed and contain written
messages not otherwise permitted.
therefore having personal ap-
peal which is. of course, more
highly appreciated by the reci-
pients; that such greetings are
dispatched and delivered first, Civ
en- directory service, and. if nee
essary, forwarded without addi-
tional charga. also, if undeliver-
able. they 'a;e returned without
charge, provided the sender's re-
turn card is shown on the en-
velope.
On the other hand, printed
Christmas greetings mailed in un-
sealed envelopes at the third
class rate which cannot be de-
livered as addressed, because of
the removal of the addressee or
for some reason. must often be
destroyed as waste, thereby caus
ing disappointment. Greetings
mailed at the third-class rate are
not entitled to the free forward
ing privilege accorded those mail
ed in sealed envelopes at the first
class rate and, consequently, the
senders in many cases never know
that the greetings were not re-
ceived by the addresses. This
would not occur if the greetings
were mailed sealed at the first
class rate.

 The capture was announced to- day by General Macarthur and climaxed the month-long moun- tain campaign in which virtually every type of available weapon was used in slowly and bloodily securing ridge after ridge until the commanding heights on either side were won.
 General Macarthur also re- ported that the Thirty-Second di- vision had joined the Twenty Fifth in captured Santa Fe on the mountainous southern approach to the Cagayan valley in northern Luzon, bringing to an end all or ganized enemy resistance in this vital area flanking the main high way into the Cagayan valley"

 Here is what they gained: one United States, Russia, Britain, China and France finally accepted the Canadian proposal for any country whose armed forces is to be employed by the security coun- cil should join in making the de- cision for their use. This means if Canadian troops are to be called out to suppress aggression, Canada could participate in the security council decision even though it was not at the time a member of the council. Not more than one outside nation at any time how ever could be thus temporarily in the council.

 In their struggle against great power domination in the world or ganization the small nations sought to both modify the author ity of the security council in which the big powers must always agree before the decision to act can be made, and to build up the assem- bly, in which all member nations have one equal vote apiece.

Everything happens back in the
good old days" in st. Louis of 1908
when mothers made business of
raising a family. There were no
electric mixers or dishwashers or
vacuum cleaners. Instead mothers
concocted homemade ketchup, kept
a hair brush handy and allowed
children to lick cake pans. Big
sisters and brothers like Judy Gar
land, Lucille Bremen and Henry j.
Daniels planned gala parties for
every conceivable holiday, while
little sisters like Margaret OBrien
and Joan Carroll, If they were good,
were permitted to sneak out in their
long nighties and peek through
banister rails.
AS matter of fact, this Smith
family who lived in ST. Louis was
pretty ordinary any way you look
at it. They lived, waited and
planned all year for the great ST.
Louis Fair; several members were
bound to appear at the supper table
in summertime with a black eye;
Margaret O'Brien rang door bells
and talked about goblins every sin
gle Halloween for as long as she
could remember; each winter snow
