Denmark launched the annual
Christmas Seal campaign against
tuberculosis in 1904; Dickens
Christmas CAROL was written in
1843; Samuel Clement Moore wrote
1.-The Night Before Christmas" in
1922; w. c. Dobson. one OF Queen
Victoria's favorite artists, dis
patched the first Christmas card In
1845. and, historically. the first
Christmas tree was set up in 1914.
One can imagine the first Christ
mas carol--the "Gloria In Excels1s"
OF the angels. However, Of our popu-
lar Christmas carols today, "Adeste
Fideles" is undoubtedly the Oldest.
Its origin is controversial: some
say it was a graduate Of the Clster-
clans, others date its composition
variously-from 1850 to 1880. Even
accepting 1880, 20 Come ALI Ye
Faithful antedates-for example
'sHark, The Herald Angels Sing"
(1730), "Silent Night" (1818, and
20 Little Town of Bethlehem"
(1869).
There's a lot of Christmas tied up
in the confident expectancy of child
hood and the nostalgia memories OF
grown-ups; so,
May your days be merry and
bright
And may all your Christmases

WHEN THE INFANT JESUS
SELECTED HIS PLAYMAT

According to various legends, the
Holy Family travels about on Christ
mas Eve. Long ago-in England
sick babies were carried to the
threshold at midnight. If the child
recovered, it had been healed by the
passing Christ; if the baby died, the
Holy Child had chosen the infant
to be his playmate in heaven.

MEANING OF CHRISTMAS

THE first meaning of Christ
l. mas is that of generosity,
inspired by the great gift of God
to mankind. The selfish sway of
the world is broken at least for
time, and the Christ spirit is
born in our hearts. Sometimes
the exchange of presents is car
ried too far and becomes a
burden instead of pleasure; but
anything that makes the world
unselfsh is beautiful and good.

is understandable on the part of
Julian Duncan as he has only been
resident of the county for year.
The work of the Park and Planning

performed by this commission as
can possible be financed with the

Local Quakers Ask
Aid For Enemies

Speaking for the Quakers Of this
county, The Ashton Friends Meet
ing represented by Calender F.
Winslow, and the Sandy Spring
Friends Meeting represented by
Miss Margaret Brooke, state that
the American Friends Service
Committee is now urging linen and
women of goodwill" to appeal to
the Government to raise food ra-
tons to at least 1000 Galleries
daily in the american zone Of oc-
cupation in Germany and in all
other European Countries that can
not buy food for themselves.
The Quakers also urge that
American relief agencies be per-
mitted to assist in the care Of
children, expectant and nursing
mothers and the aged who are par
ticularly afflicted by the present
iOOu BHOTIdBeSs
Finally, they plead for opening
Of postal services to Central Eur
ope SO that American citizens can
send food and clothing to friends
and relatives.
The State Department and the
military government officials
have not yet worked out a policy
concerning relief to enemy coun-
tries, Mr.. Winslow and Miss
Brooke, point out. Declaring that
democracy cannot be taught to a
hungry and "despairing people"
they call attention to the Quaker
appeal, signed by the National
heads, elsewhere in this paper en-
titled "If Thine Enemy Hunger,
Feed Him."
