In the midst OF her preparations for

Mrs. Bourke remembered two lonely little

OF trimming a Christmas tree, of hanging up
their stockings to be filled by loving parents,
or OF festive family gatherings.
They live at Barat House, a settlement
operated by the League of Catholic Women.
Mrs Bourke, who is chairman Of the
board, took special fancy 10 them.
Invited to spend Christmas Eve and
Christmas Day with the Bourkes the children
will help to decorate the Christmas tree and
will hang up their stockings alongside hose
Of Shcila, Michael and Jerry.

The advertising business, Mr.. West
said. has learned that "the individ-

prosper unless the people In other
nations prosper" Z
Mr.. West cited as an example of
the service by advertising the ship
ping crisis of last December when
there were insufficient numbers OF
merchant seamen to man the con-
voys. He said at one Atlantic port
there were only IL first mates when

The Great Cameo Politics
Writer Says Roosevelt Administration
Loses by Avoidance of Realities

politics rs has been played in this
country in great many years.
The astonishing thing is that,
though it seems completely obvious,
then can get away with it. Yet, per-
haps, one ought not to be surprised
so far as Mr.. Roosevelt is con-
cerned. So gullible have the people
become under his treatment that he
is able to do things which would
earn almost unanimous public con-
demnation II attempted by any one
else.
The taking of Eddie Flynn, the
paving block politician, to the Yalta
conference "just for the ride is the
latest sample.

Roosevelt asking that "the partner
ship between business and Govern
ment, which has so successfully
brought information to the people
In wartime, continue into the post
war period"
Mr.. West addressed luncheon
meeting Of the Advertising Club Of
Washington at the Hotel Statler,
attended by 140 members.
The council, he said, intends to
continue the volunteer organization
after the shooting stops" dedicat-
ing the forces Of advertising which
1t represents to the public service.
Mr.. West has been an officer of the
council since its inception in 1912.
He also is secretary Of the Advertis-
ing Research Foundation.
Can Find Jobs.
A postwar problem on which the
council can give valuable aid, he
said, is that of finding jobs for the
10, 900 900 veterans of the war.
They will need jobs" he said,
good jobs, responsible jobs, and will
face the difficult period OF readjust-
ment to civilian life. What a chal-

offers to advertising!
