Council Orders Strict Curfew
 Enforcement

In response to numerous re- quests received by the City Council for action on the delin- quency of children, the council at the Monday session drew up instructions to the Chief of Po- lice. that the curfeW law will be strictly enforced beginning inn mediately.
 The Methodist Church bell will ring at 1000 pm. every night, including Sundays and holidays, after which time all children eighteen and under must be off the streets unless ac- companied by a parent or legal guardian. Any child picked up by the police after 1000 o'clock will be taken into custody and held at the police station. The parents will be notified and the child will remain in the station until called for by his parents.
 Basket ball games and other public activities may run over the time limit occasionally, at which times children will be given a reasonable period in which to gain their homes.
 All persons eighteen years of age and over, when picked up on traffic violations or in viola tiOn of city ordinances will be treated as adults and be penal iZed as such.
 In imposing this seemingly harsh measure, the members of the City Council expressed them selves as being determined to halt potential delinquent atti- tude before it can become a real problem. With the cooperation of the parents it is hoped that no more severe measures will be- come necessary.

What The Chris+mos Seal Stands For

When the mailman begins to distribute yuletide letters and packages, 1 wonder how many people will look at the gay Christmas seals splattered over the envelopes and wrapping pa pers? I wonder if any individ- uals will examine them long enough to find at least ten shades and colors, a cluster of bright red holly berries, green holly leaves, stylized dove, a blue ribbon and a banner of greetings. As the people unWrap their holiday gifts and direct their thoughts to the senders, I wonder if anyone will have the inclination to find some signi- ficance for the symbolic design on the Christmas seals. In the age of the powerful atomic bomb the stylized bird seems to be futile and delicate ana chronism. From year to year the pictures on the Christmas seals change, but the meaning and the greetings which they try to carry remain unchanged.
 Although they refer to tuber- culosis, they also tell another story, one which is of a greater significance. They tell what richness there is in humanity, what can be accomplished if people resolve to do something in situation which everyone has considered hopeless. They radiate the spirit of visionaries who believed that tuberculosis is not a final verdict in life, that person whose lungs are infected with the bacillus can not only recover but return to society in the form of a useful member. They represent the simplicity of people who thought that little bits of paper with pictures of boys, sleighs, barn. yards, and birds could serve as
