Evolution Given Of Santa Claus

St. Nicholas and Santa Claus met at the Sunday School Christ mas party and, being sort of busy right then, agreed to rendezvous at midnight under the Christmas tree.
 St. Nicholas, a lean ASiatic wearing his miter and canonical robes, spoke first:
 'l lived in Asia Minor some 1900 years ago. I was Archbishop of Myra and, while living on earth, l did drop a few purses of gold down poor mans chimney so his daughters could be supplied with doWrieS. European countries cele- brate my liturgical Feast Day December 6-aS a day of gift giv- ing and for centuries 1 rode across Europe on my old gray mare; my pockets bulged with apples and nuts and trinkets, which I gave to good children while switching the naughty ones with my bundle of birch rods. But what is all this Christmas business - and where did that red suit come from?"
 When the Dutch settlers came to America" replied Santa Claus, they brought many legends about St. Nicholas with them. These leg ends, with writers and cartoonists cooperating, gradually slipped into American traditions; Santa Claus started coming around at Christ mas time; Washington Irving sug- geSted the sleigh and reindeer in 1909; Thomas Mast supplied the red suit and pr.

IL is therefore wise 10 look over your children's toys and see that they are safe to play with.

Labor Would Suffer Most

Inc strike virus has become so prev
alent in American labor ranks that it
seems there can be no checking it until
all industry is at standstill and the
earnings of workers halted.
Although President Truman failed
in his radio address last week to pro-
pose definite means of preventing it, we
can only hope that Congress, upon re-
assembling, will speedily enact legis-
lation which will contain at least the
rudiments of a cure. Failing this, labor
and the nations business generally
will suffer setback that cannot be off
set by generations hard work.
The point in this that seems to call
for especial emphasis is that the coun-
try's workers, instead of benefiting by
new gains, will have gone backward,
and must start all over again on such
terms as industry dictates or loaf in.
definitely.
For if industry is halted now by
unionism, the unions which have grown
so powerful their leaders consider them
selves invincible, will crumble and have
no further influence, either for collec-
tive bargaining or other method intend
ed to increase or regulate earnings.
Industry will suffer. The people at
large will suffer. But the worst suffer-
ers will be the members of unions who
through false leadership will have
sacrificed their every gain.

Home Gardens

War gardens were a great institu.
ton. Nobody knows how many families
kept food on their tables by growing
vegetables in their back yards or near.
by vacant lots, but the total must have
been large. Nor is it possible to put a
figure on the number Of cans of vege.
tables and fruits preserved by enter
prising housewives from the products
of their own cultivated tracts and bear
ing trees. But these too must have been
plentiful.
Otherwise, with the drains created
by the war and the necessity of Civ
ing our allies large quantities of the food
stuffs from American farms, actual
suffering would have existed in many
thousands of homes.
Now that war gardens are no long
er needed it might be supposed that
the need for home gardens had passed,
but that is not the fact The need for
gardens is fully as great now as during
the war years.
There are still large armed forces
to feed, and much of the world looks
to this country for succor. The foreign
shipment of foods cannot be curtailed
If the countries which suffered most
at the hand of the enemy are to weather
a severe winter and gradually come
back in their own right. They cannot
be self-supporting now. It is our in
escapable duty to do all that we can to
keep them fed.
To do so with any measure Of sue
cess it is imperative that householders
go on with their garden projects as
sedulously as they did during the war.
Peace gardens are as much part Of the
program for economic recovery as war
gardens were in shaping the victory.

Ten Billions Less

It is good news that the govern
ment's spending during the first half
of this fiscal year was some ten billion
dollars less than in the same period a
year before. Cancellation of war con-
tracts following Japan's surrender and
other reductions in spending brought
the nations expenditures down to $685.
574,OOO,0O0.
Gratifying as this is, the American
people will feel better when the govern
ment gets the outflow down to level
below the income. This can be done only
by the elimination of many sources of
waste which sprung up during the war.
1t is impossible to say how much
could be saved if government depart
ments and bureaus were forbidden to
print bulletins and booklets without
stint at public expense, but from the
amount of government printed matter
that goes directly into waste baskets in
this office alone as an indication,
hundreds of millions of dollars could
remain in the Treasury instead of pay
ing printing bills.
From the time the bureaucrats took
over in Washington, federal printing
has been one of the greatest among a
host Of unnecessary extravagances.
Since Japan's surrender there has been
some reduction in the volume of use
less printed matter, but it is still far
in excess of any existing need. It's dis
continuance would bring the nation
nearer the desirable goal.

There must be some way to say
II don't know in Chinese, I figur-
ed. But imagine my surprise when
I found the answer right in the
press room of the Star-News.
1t seems Ellis King, one of the
pressmen, has spent some time in
China as a member of the u. S..
Army. He took the trouble to pick
up a few essential pointers on the
Chinese language. Or, rather, one
of the many dialects used there.
He speaks a certain amount Of
Shanghaiese. From his knowledge,
and with bit of puttering around
with phonetics, we finally decided
the way you say II don't know" in
Shanghaiese is ''Wo Vuh Doang."
Then Ellis, who is doughty and
redheaded, started telling me about
the Chinese situation. He told me
in American because our spelling
Of Shanghaiese was entirely too
tedious for me to take down.
It seems the situation in China is
pretty bad, according to Ellis.
But discourse on that will have
to come later.
What awes me about this country
of ours is if you want to know any
thing about anything that goes on
any place on the globe you've got
to find it out here in America. And,
imagine about China right here in
