Says

the fun out Of any campaign
against sSin like the inability to
find it.
Wives and other bosses began
'toning down office parties some
years back. The first thing they
did was throw them out of the
office and start holding them in
restaurants and rented halls.
The year the first wife showed
up at an office Christmas party
spelled the downfall Of its mad
revelry. Who wants to play that
merry old game, Lets chase the
stenographer around the water
cooler, with wife looking on?
That cooled down the office bar
gain basement satyrs-but quick.
Sure ruined Christmas for many a
homely stenographer, too.
The average office party today
is about as sinful as an Easter
egg rolling or an old-fashioned
lawn social. 1t has no more of an
antic note than a high school
spring prom. Mama leads papa to
the frolic like a tame bear on a
leash, and his ears echo with her
stern ultimatum, "Take one trip
too many to that punch bowl,
Buster, and home you 60"
They search you at the door to
make sure you haven't hidden any
miStletoe In your pocket. There is
dance band to play civilized
music, and the office quartet sings
a sedate number from the floor
instead of leading college cheers
from the top of a desk. AS
matter of fact, they don't even
have desk in the joint a fellow
can fall from and break a leg,
and get a well-deserved rest on
full pay.
The other evening looked in a
restaurant room and saw a group
Of bank employees wearing paper
hats and looking glumly at one
another. One old-timer was crying
softly, and I asked him re-
speetfully:
SIS this a memorial service for
one of the bank officials?"
mo" he said, as the tears rolled
down his cheeks, ''this is our an
nual office Christmas party"
Don't you hold it in the bank?"
I inquired.
'We used TO-" he said. 'until

NEW BOOKLET ON NAzIs

The Government of Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
recently published official bulletin reviewing book
let telling the story of the Naz persecution of Jews The
bulletin admitted that Herr Hermann Gramls account OF
tn persecution is "factual presentation"
Gramls book tells horrible story of what is termed
the Crystal Night of November 9-10 1898 On that night
the program that resulted in death for 100000 Jews
got underway in earnest
The Government bulletin did not mince its words in
describing other atrocities committed by the Naz Gov
eminent For instance the bulletin noted that the same
leaders who murdered the Jews by the millions did not
value other human life more highly when these Naz
leaders sacrificed the lives of Germans in wholesale mum
bers after the war already lost.
We are glad to see the West German Government
attempting to educate the German people on the extent
and seriousness of these Naz atrocities It has been
what disturbing to watch the growth of semNazi move
ments in West Germany in recent years and certainly
the Government bulletin supporting the latest account of
Nazi antiSemitism is courageous attempt by the Ger
man Government to remind the people of the besa tao
tics Of the Nazis.

QuestiOn-We purchased a

previous owner has laid linoleum
over the tile around the kitchen
sink. How can we clean it
properly?
Answer-It should not be too
difficult to lift the linoleum off
the surface of the tile. If it
offers any resistance. pry it off
with a wide-blade putty knife.
Ordinary linoleum paste can be
scrubbed off with hot water.
A waterproof paste will have
to be softened by soaking it with
washing soda or trisodium phos-
phate used in the proportions of
3 pounds in each gallon of hot
water. When it becomes soft,
scrub with more of the same
solution, using stiff brush for
the purpose. To take off some

CHILDREN's AILMENTS

Under the WHITE CROSS PLAN, it is
easy to include children in the familys
original plan and also to add children as
they are born. It is very wise to do this
The cost is very little. And the benefits can
be very great. Children need medical care
so often for childhood diseases, tonsil and
adenoid operations, and what not Hospital
room and meals cost just as much for child
as for an adult, you know. So do X-rays,
laboratory tests, and such things. Yet, these
are all covered under the WHITE CROSS
PLAN regardless of age. .

MONEY TO LIVE ON
when you're laid up and can't work

Perhaps you've said this to yourself: Il wish
Icould be sure of certain amount of money
each month even when I'm laid up and un-
able to work" This is well worth thinking
about. For, after all, at such times even
though your earnings do not continue you
still have to meet payments for rent, food,
clothing, gas and electricity, time payments
on the car, and so on. Very often these bills
become mental burden to the person who
is laid up and it makes it hard for him to
concentrate on getting well.

to say, in case Of family accident this

which no ordinary family could pay out of
