CHRISTMAS
(NeW World News Service)

Christmas is spirit Every child feels nstnctively that there to it than stockings presents and too many candies and cookies That's why Santa Claus born!
 In Europe, cradle of western culture and democracy, millions have been thrown back their last Missions too have been pressed to the point of deah in sanity to animal existence in cave cellar This Christmas Europe is better off materially than last but the specter of has grown till it fills the horizon. Fear of war and the slavery of mankind stalks the world
 The United States biggest child of Europe, pours into the stricken continent millions of dollars in food steel and materials for reconstruction This life line is sary and the spirit in America which prompts the gv ing is force with which to reckon.
 Most thinking people know about the European Re- covery Program--the Marshall Plan. Not enough are aware of another American export to Europe, man from Allentown, Pennsylvania Frank Buchman-and the world force of Moral Re-Armament which he has inspired and trained
 Next month the American edition of "Remakng the World" comes off the press. Here in Frank Buchmans speeches is the how and why of theological warfare It's pages filled with the truths that democracy will live by-or die without-in the coming months and years It calls upon the demOcracieS to live theology and shows how this can be done He offers the ordinary and statesman part in remaking the world under the guidance of God
 With 'The Good Road' the MIRA theological revue, which has recently been presented in Switzerland Ger many and Britain Europe is finding renaissance With "Remakng the World" it's theological handbook, America can find and live the which spiritual iy hungry world awaits For as Frank Buchman says, "The future depends not only what few men may decide do in Europe but upon what million men de- eide to be in America"

Santa Always Visits Belgian Homes First
tBy William Andersonl 0P) NeWSfeatureSr

not awaiting the coming of Santa Claus. They already welcomed him on December 6.
 This date is the name-day of St. Nicholas, patron saint of children, | from whose name the Anglo-Sax- on words Santa Claus" are de- rived. The 9th. in Belgium, is purely for children. Adults have little to do excep. finance the good man.
 In Belgium, the shops start very early with decorations and other signs of the times. From the be-
 ginning of November, the big chain stores devote most of their window-space to ;he legendary figure in his bishops hat, staff and
 long flowing red cloak.
 Every shop pays tribute to the ''bon-homme" according to it's
 class of business. Pastry shops are
 full of traditional sugar pigs, chocolate SantaS and chocolate
 d0nkeys carrying sacks of sweets.
 One department store this year de
 voted much of it's windows . 10 a panorama of the "Enchanted
 Forest where good, represented
 by St. Nicholas, fights evil, repre-
 sented by a witch. The "good"
 part of the forest was full of danc-
 ing fairies and frolicing mechan-
 ical animals. The Witch's domain
 featured such nice.ies as children
 eating trees, dragons, and a most
 life-like snake.
 Another large store devoted it.
 self to the "Nursey of 2OOO AD." l In this piece of mechanical ingen- l, uity, one nurse, herself a robot,
 operates switch panel which controls the washing, feeding, = spanking, teaching and even "dia- = pering" of dozens of little dolls. = Every store has a Santa Claus.
 Some indeed have several. Each |, store employs different means of proclaiming the arrival of it's
 Santa. Bang up to date was the ) much-publicized arrival in Brus-
 sels of one chain store Santa. He l came down from Heaven-where
 'l,o Pn1dia,, Coota : help of the Belgian Airways and = Dakota. On arriving at the air = ways terminal, he stepped into an l old mail-coach, decorated for the , occasion and to fanfares from ac- . companying trumpeters, toured . the streets of Brussels. Hundreds a of children attended this particu- l Lar arrival.
 ], In the schools, teachers are tell ! ing and retelling the story of Saint1 l Nicholas. The children learn how , the bad butcher captured the three I little boys and turned them into d bacon. How the all-knowing saint
 got to know about it, and pretend
 ing to be a customer visited the :, butcher. The latter, the story goes u on, realized who his customer was r and prayed for forgiveness. Santa . forgave him saying his conscience , would punish him enough. All over Belgium little faces light up when by miracle the good man r restores the three boys to life and e happiness. thus proving that good Q will always triumph over evil.

desirable thing. Because in it one
sees the age-old struggle of the
human family to overthrow en-
trenched greed and establish a
greater justice. And happy are we
in this favored land because here
much of that struggle is in the past.
Here labor finds its greatest degree
of freedom. Here there is the
highest standard of living found
anywhere on this earth. Here there
is the greatest opportunity for the
boy and girl with ability and am
bition. Under our system of gov
eminent there has followed an eXis-
tence so excellent that we are the
envy of the entire world.

And labor, of course, has had a
mighty part in bringing these good
things to pass Labor has helped
develop a continent Labor has
moved forward through the years
and is still moving forward AS the
days and weeks and months pass,
it is acquiring greater power and
greater responsibilities. To justify
those esponsibilities it must de-
velop a leadership that is altogether
wise and far-seeing. Labor has to-
day won for itself such tremendous
power that it is now confronted
with the test of whether or not it
can produce leaders of real states
manShip caliber. Because today its
aims and policies can no longer be
judged solely by whether or not
such policies and aims are good only
for those who labor. The higher
test today must be whether or not
the measures it advocates are wise
| for an entire nation That IS the
| high position to which labor has
| finally come 1t has fought its way
upward throughout the centuries
until now it stands as part and par
! eel of those who decide the policies
| of a nation No longer can labor
be content to struggle merely to
/ improve the living conditions of 4
single class. Today it must plan for
the welfare of all the people And
labors demands must of necessity
be judged by that supreme test.
Can labor produce a leadership that
will measure up to that test? The
future of today's generation de
ponds to great degree on how well
that question is answered.

AUTOS TRAVEL BILLIONS
OF MILES EACH YEAR

The increase in the popularity of
private motoring is one of the most
remarkable developments of modern
times Assuming that there were
100000 motors cars and motor
cycles in use on the North Ameri-
can continent in May 1884, the total
value at even 100000 apiece-a
very reasonable estimate-Would
have amounted to thirteen hundred
million dollars. If these 1900. 900
vehicles covered 5000 miles a year.
or on the average say 100 miles a
week, it would work out that g.
500,000,000 miles are covered in a
year by motorists, or about 70 times
the distance of the sun from the
earth
Now these figures are accurate
for one country. The average auto
mobile consumes one gallon of gas
oline for every twenty miles of
travel so you can readily realize
the amount of gasoline that is used
in one year. This question is of
great concern to the oil companies
and as they search the world I'M
endingly for gasoline; the finest
automotiVe engineers are endeaVor-
ing to design engines that will run
on less gasoline or even a substitute
fuel.-CLACK'S SERVICE. l.. J..

Bv CharIes d. Rove

A young woman once stepped
into my office when l was still pub
fishing a newspaper who was very
indignant A baby had been left
by a careless mother in an auto
mobile across the street and the
infant had been voicing protests to
high heaven for a considerable time.
That was what caused the young
woman's indignation. Expressing
that indignation she remarked to
me, with anger and disgust in her
voice: Some women shouldn't be
allowed to have babies
That incident was recalled to my
mind when l read in the Sunday
papers Kathleen Norris weekly
column She told of having visited
certain homes for boys in her own
neighborhOod where she found 700
care of Institutions A few of the
BOYS were orphans. Some were from
broken homes caused by divorce.
Many of them had been turned over
to the homes because the mothers
were too busy in other work or
simply didn't want their own off
spring. Kathleen Norris was shocked
beyond measure. She expressed
some of that shock in these words:
What are these mothers and
fathers putting in the boys places?
What domestic Injuries, movies,
comfortable quiet evenings and
dancing compensate for this injus-
tice to their sons and this loss to
them? Are we American women so
unimaginative and so flaccid that
we cannot adjust our lives to make
room for our boys?
What are we made of, we Ameri-
can women, that we don't dare
sacrifice, plan, contrive and work
to keep our homes and our children
together?'
All of which called back the eX-
preston of the young woman in my
office-"Some women shouldn't be
allowed to have babies. That Of
course, is self-evident truth. One
sees proof of it in every community
Children brought into the world
and then shamefully neglected by
unnatural mothers and fathers.
A great hue and cry has been
raised against the proposal to ster-
ilize the unfit. We have often Won
dereh if the habitual criminals and
the mentally unfit should not be
sterlized for the protection of So
ciett. But how can you reach those
otherwise normal women who give
life to child and then heartlesslv
abandon il to ain institution in order
that life for them may be easier?
Once again the nation has united
in celebration of Labor Day In our
own community it resulted in an
enjoyable affair participated in by
nearly the entire population And
that is as it should be This happy
cooperation. we hope. is merely
symbolic of the coming time when
there shall be industrial peace and
cooperation throughout the world
because of industrial justice IS be
tween man and man
A man even with only half q
vision must see that there is d
mighty social revolution under way
throughout the world The ignorant
doWntrodden masses 'of Asia are
feeling it, They are stirring In their
just wrath and rising i'm q mighty
surge to throw off the cruel eI-
