same throughout the year Regardless of what mans
disposition may be- the Christmas spirit softens him, even
though he is abrupt and cantankerous at other times

1t of no consequence that scholars agreed that
Christ born time in August December 20 is the
day that has come down to us the time of His birth,
and that day has been observed for centuries 1t is the
time when Christians wherever they may be, pay homage
to Him. and it the day when the people of this and 9TH

Key westers have much to be thankful for this
Christmas aside from the spiritual significance of the
day We are prosperous the health of community

whatever the changes in economic life may be- we
may be that Key West tourist resort in winter

MORE ABOUT Steamship Fares
 Continued from Page 1)

Skinner produces figures to prove that during October and early November, 1850, because of dispute with the Marine Cooks and Stewards Union, the passenger steamship Baranof made three scheduled round trips to Alaska ports as freight CT, carrying no passengers and with only the crew required for freighter operation.
 "As result of those three voyages" he continues, i've have figures to prove that the minimum cost of handling pas sengers aboard ship, without re- gard to overhead or shore side expense of any kind is S14,OOO for a 14 day period. Since the resumption of passenger service the maximum revenue on any single voyage has been $13,072.- 42 and the minimum revenue on any single voyage $7,470. In other words, on no voyage out of 10 completed voyages have we received sufficient revenue to pay the cost of handling pas SengerS."
 MT. Skinner's letter does not quote figures for cargo tonnage or revenue for cargo carried in addition to passengers on the same voyage. Tt was and is our intention," the letter goes on, ito return to the present fares on or about the first of Septem- Der, unless unforeseen develop ments make it necessary to maintain the fares at the higher level
 In filing the new Tariff No. 326 to begin June l, We have very carefully considered the welfare of the residents of Alas ka, insofar as their welfare is dependent on passenger steam ship service. We believe that the solution at which we arrived provides the greatest possible assurance of that welfare, and we feel that the people of Alas ka should enthusiastically SUD- port the course we are follow ing

everywhere, and the kids nosing
around to see if the cranberries are
going to jell, or if there's to be
mushrooms or chestnuts in the stuff

giant mood (never once thinking of

heavier than l ordered doesn't phase
me, nor the extra eggs and cream in

buy fresh pork for the sauerkraut,
and it simply kills me to spend As
