Mrs. Creyke Tells
Of Origins Of
YHle Traditions
BY Ruth Dean

Appropriate to the season, Mrs.
Godfrey Creyke, vice president
general of the OAR, yesterday spoke
on Origins of Christmas Tradi-
lions" before the Captain Joseph
Magruder Chapter.
The occasion marked the annual
Christmas party of the chapter at
the OAR Chapter House.
Mistletoe is an ancient tradition,
Mrs. Creyke explained. 1t was sa-
cred to the .Druids who regarded
it as a symbol of love. Once a
year priest with a golden sickle
cut the. lowest hanging Dough,
which he divided into small sprigs
to distribute among his followers
Holly was also held sacred, the
speaker added, because of its ever
green quality.
The story of little Mexican girl
who was so poor she could only
give a wild flower as her altar gift
to the Christ Child is the inter-
esting basis of another Christmas
tradition, Mrs. Creyke continued
When the child had arisen from
her prayer. the weed had turned
into the bright red flower now
called the poinsettia.
According to Mrs. Creyke, Mar
tin Luther originated the first
Christmas tree. Coming home one
night, he saw the stars through a
pine tree. The illusion impressed
him, and he cut down the tree, took
it home and decorated it with can
dies to represent the stars. Tree
ornaments go back to an ancient
story, she continued, that claims
that all the trees burst into bloom
on the night of Christ's birth
She concluded her talk with a

I reached the club, Mrs. Claude A.
Swanson, widow of the late Secre-
tary Of the Navy, was pouring tea
and I understand Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson took her turn at the table.
Others asked to pour coffee and tea
during the early hours of the fete
were Mrs. Harlan Fiske Stone, Mrs
Robert P. Patterson, Nine. Wei, Mrs
Thor Thors and Mrs. John L. Nc
Clellan. I met Mrs. Patterson as
she was leaving the party to hurry
home to wrap last-minute Christ
mas gifts for her children.
Nine. Ertegun, widow of the for
mer Turkish Ambassador, reached
Washington after several months
stay IN her homeland in time to
assist at the tea, but she had not
arrived when the party was nearing
the closing time.
Mrs. Edward Everett Gam cid
her share Of pouring and was look
ing quite handsome in a black gown
trimmed in royal blue and high
crowned hat with a mass of black
ostrich feathers at the front. She
was telling a friend that all she
needed was stick to be a drum
major. 1t really made her look the
grande dame that she is.
Mrs. Eldon P. King arrived with
her daughter, Mrs. Owen McKevitt,
and she too took her turn at the
tea urn. Mrs. McKevitt spent little
time in the dining room for she was
very much in demand on the dance
floor. She had on one of the vely
striking costumes at the affair. Her
dress was of shiny gray satin and
her hat bit of rose-pink satin
with a puff of gray tulle forming
rosette in the center.
Others included among Mrs. Gill
lespie's assistants were Mrs. Cary D.
Langhorne, Mrs. Wade H. Ellis, Mrs.
John Curran, Mrs. James H. Doo-
little, Mrs. Edmund Pendleton, Mrs
Joseph L. Beall, Mrs. Frank WOODEN
craft, Mrs. Walter Wyatt, Mrs. Ed
win Pitt and Mrs. Francis Hill.
Mrs. Irene Caldwell was accom-
panied by her pretty blond daughter
Barbara, WHO will be among the
debutantes in the spring. Barbara
was having quite a whirl on the
dance floor and being cut in on so
frequently that she scarcely danced
more than few steps with each
partner.
Mrs. Caldwell was looking quite
well after completing her task of fur
nishing Christmas gifts for SO
schools in faraway places. A leader
in the Save the Children Founda-
ton, Mrs. Caldwell has made many
children happy and this year she
went over the top in collecting toys
and clothing for less fortunate
kiddies.
Debutante Edwina Pou Walden
also was having a merry time in the
ballroom. Her mother, Mrs. Thomas
Antony Walden, and her sister, Mrs.
Thomas Drake Durrance, were
little late arriving at the tea, but it
wasn't long after her arrival that
Mrs. Durrance was having a whirl
similar to that of her debutante
sister.
The hours of the debut were set
from 5 to o'clock, but guests
fingered bit later to enjoy this de-
lightful party where so many old
friends met and holiday visitors
were being introduced.

In Strike al Kyushu

Capt. F.. s. Wilson of Colonial

fighter pilots credited by Admiral
Nimitz with bagging Japanese
planes in a strike at Kyushu's chief
airfield at Omura.
In his communique yesterday from
Guam, Admiral Nimitz said the
attack by bombers and Thunder
bolt fighters started huge fires.
Columns of smoke beloved 5000 to
5000 feet skyward, according to the
Associated Press, as the bombers
landed IS per cent of their bomb
loads on the target areas. Two
bombers and "a Thunderbolts par
ticipated in the attack.
Escorting Thunderbolts sighted
the enemy biplane trainers off the
southern end of Kyushu Island, and
promptly knocked them out of the
air. One Thunderbolt failed to re-
turn and 10 Liberators were dam
aged by ack-ack.
The raiders fought through
storm to reach the targets, but the
pilots said they were able to observe
the results. They called the mis-.
sion q success.

YOU CAN HELP NOW

II you find 1t difficult to get on
a train, remember that the railroads
and the Pullman Company, by or
der of the Office of Defense Trans
portation, have withdrawn from
service all sleeping cars operating
between points $50 miles or less
apart. The action was made neces-
sary by unexpectedly heavy arrivals
of troops from Europe.
This action makes available an
additional 1876 Pullman cars and
gives the military the exclusive use
of about half the sleeping cars OPP
Grating in the United States. These
cars afford a greater measure Of
comfort to our troops moving to
the west coast prior to embarkation
to the Pacific theater.
1t is interesting to note that in
1918 with a total of approximately
$1,000 coaches and sleeping cars,
the railroads performed 42.676, 600,
600 passenger-miles of-service.
In 1914, with approximately IT
700 passenger carrying cars, the
railroads performed 95,575.000. 000

CONFUSION is NOT FREEDOM

In the bill now before Congress
to broaden the social security act
to give everyone protection against
'sthe sings and arrows of outrage
Gus fortune from childbirth to the
grave, the word compulsory is
Stunned like the odiferous aroma of
the lowly skunk. Nowhere is that
word used in any discussions by the
promoters of the bill The public is
actually made to believe that ev-
eryone will have complete freedom
in choice of a doctor, and that doc
tors will have complete freedom in
choice Of patients.
1t is claimed that state medicine
is not socialized medicine. This is
about as logical as to say the bill is
not compulsory, when the wording
of the bill forces all employees
drawing up to $4,000 a year to pay
four per cent Of their earnings into
social security fund, and all employ
ers to pay like amount.
When government goes into bust
ness, that is socialism, so when the
Federal government establishes a
system of insurance to which ev-
eryone must contribute, when it
regulates the provisions of medi-
cal service through Washington
when it regulates fees
that doctors are to receive when
they participate in the system, when
it regulates those who are to be
consultants and when consultants
are to be consulted, that is definite
ly socialized medicine The doctors
who are dissatisfied with the sys-
tenn can quit and turn their abilities
to some other channel, but the peo-
pie, once they are saddled with
compulsory medical practices, are
the losers, and they will definitely
have to pay for socialized medicine
even though they prefer private
doctor.
