IT'S the week before Christmas.
All Miami and the rest of the
Christian world are busy, clean
ing up and getting ready to send
Santa Claus on his annual err
rands. The big city merchants are
having the time of their lives
supplying their patrons with the
things that make for a Merry
Christmas" to many people.
Of course, this is the season
when the hearts of some of the
old folk are turned toward the
children. Making little Jimmy
and Mary happy has brought JOY
to many a poor parents who
could afford for themselves just
the bare necessities of life. Make
'em happy, and you make your
self happy. Make somebody hap

ANOTHER CHRISTMAS is
IIDON IIC

Once more, on next Tuesday
December IS, the Christian world
will pause to do honor unto and
celebrate the birthday of h e
Prince of Peace, our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ-on that day
of all days, which we call Xmas.
Once more much of the bitterness
and hatred which many of us
entertained for our neighbors
throughout the past year, will be
laid aside for a brief time, and
Merry Christmas" will be on the
lips of everyone.
Christmas with Christian People
should l say exchanging gifts. It's
is the time for giving gifts - or
fine old custom that dates back
many many years. But the real
spiritual lift is obtained when one
gives a gift without expecting one
in return. Are you expecting gifts
in return? Or should 1 first ask,
are you giving any gifts?
But along with the many joys
of Christmas, come the correspond
ing sorrows. One of the chief Sor-
rows that often follow a joyous
Christmas is the fact that many
people are thoughtlessly carried
nose-deep in debt over many
things purchased unnecessarily
for the holidays. Many people
suffer throughout the new year as
result of thoughtless buying for
Christmas. Some say cts better
to live as a lion for one day only,
than to live as a lamb all of your
life" But is it really so?
One of the most beautiful at
titudes that has ever been ex-
pressed at Christmas time, is the
thought carried in the old favorite
Christmas Carol--"O Come All
Ye Faithful. But in this day and
time, with world conditions in
such a state of uncertainty as they
are today, with everything highly
commercialized, and the material
things taking first place, there is
little if any chance for any real
alteration of the Prince of Peace,
for whom the day is celebrated.
Many people will celebrate Christ
mas without the true spirit of
Christ, as has been the case for
many years and will undoubted-
ly be the case for many years to
come. At any rate here's hope
for a very Merry Christmas to
you all.

est The Color
Bar By Vote

Saratoga Springs, N. 7. (NNPA)
- The New York Grand Lodge,
Knights of Pythias, will poll its
81 900 members to learn whether
or not they want to continue to
affiliate with the Supreme Lodge
because of it's rejection of New
York's color line proposal. There
will be an advisory referendum.
"A resolution adopted last Friday
at the eighty-third annual state
convention also called for an ad-
visory referendum on what stand
the state lodge should take on the
"white male" membership qualifi-
cation imposed by the Supreme
Lodge.
The resolution said further that
the New York lodge will ask the
State Legislature to outlaw the
color line in all fraternal organ
izations.
The resolution was drafted by
Nicholas Atlas of New York City,
chairman of the Grand Lodge Civil
Rights Committee, and twelve
other Pythians.
The state and national bodies,
Knights of Pythias, have been at
odds over efforts of the New York
Grand Lodge to have the color
line eliminated from membership
qualifications.
The New York Grand Lodge de-
cided by voice vote here last
Thursday to rescind the action it
took last year withholding per
capita dues from the Supreme
fusal to remove the membership
Lodge because of the latter's re-
color line.
Earl M. Genzberger of Mon
tana, Supreme Chancellor, who
was accompanied here by Sheldon
r. Roper of North Carolina, Su-
preme Vice Chancellor, and Mel
M, Evans of Minnesota, Supreme
Secretary, in an interview last
Thursday declined to discuss either
the merits or dement's of the
New York Grand Lodges proposal
on membership.
He said the Supreme Lodge, COM
posed of fifty-six grand lodges and
$500 local lodges, had existed
since 1864 as a highly selective"
fraternal order with certain
membership qualifications"
During the convention, all dele
gates received copies of brochure
