Too Commercial

The automobile industry has
reached the limit in ludicrous
and Objectionable radio adver-
Using on the so-called merits
of their respective cars.
AS this is one of the wealth.
lest industries in the United
States and their dealers are
making money hand over fist
from a gullible public in its
haste to grab up every new
design that their engineers can
turn out, I would like to see
some sanity and dignity re-
turned to the advertising proc
ess, so that the public is not
compelled to listen to this hor-
rible screeching and bowling
about their new cars every
time the radio is turned on to
get the news of the day.

Is says: ANY rebuilding of

proaches on the District side

STATED to accommodate the
CHA project should be paid for

payers"
The writer of that editorial
should go home and see if he
can get his wife to tell him
who Santa Claus is, and the
route he comes to their Chin
ney. Santa never yet has come
into the District via Capitol
Hill or via Northern Virginia.
The approach to Chain
Bridge at either end cannot
be adapted to the modern
automobile. Any attempt to
adapt these approaches to cars

50 million wasted. A high

feet higher than Chain Bridge.

II haze dlways thought of
Christmas time as good
time: kind, forgiutng. char
table, pleasant time"
Charles Dickens.
So it is! And we should be
grateful that on two occasions
during the 10Th century un-
important incidents resulted in
two memorable literary works
about Christmas. Indeed. it would
be hard today to think of the
day without Dickens "A Christ
mas Carol" and DR.. Clement c.
Moore's "A Visit From st. Mich
olas," better known as THE
Night Before Christmas.
If the great English novelist
hadn't become tired working on
Martin Chuzzlewit" and gladly
accepted an invitation to speak
at Manchester, we might not
now have his "A Christmas
Carol"
II the New York theologian
and wealthy land owner hadn't
had a neighborly chat with a
jolly old Dutchman, the world
might never have enjoyed "A
Visit From st. Nicholas" each
Christmas.
Words of Tiny Tim
God bless US every one"
said Tiny Tim.
On December 10. 1843, A
Christmas Carol was put on sale
The first edition of 5000 copies
was sold within "a hours. An
additional 5000 copies also went
quickly. Since then the story
has been a consistent best seller
and has become part of the
English-speaking worlds heri-
tage.
It's beginnings came to Dickens
during a visit to Manchester,
where he took part in opening
that city's new Athenaeum.
While there the idea for A
Christmas Carol came to him.
On his return to London ne
showed aside the lengthy Martin
! ChuzzletDtt novel and set all his

Holiday Delinquency

The annual Christmas prob
lem of juvenile bulb-snatchers
is with us again. We wonder
how many others are penalized
each season by these Junior
grade vandals.
In Palmer Park, Md, on the
night of December 10, 1855.
several homes were vandalized,
some outside tree bulbs were
stolen. door wreaths were mu-
tilated. and decorated trees
were pushed over.
Is this the reward these
citizens deserve for endeavor-
ing to extend the Christmas
spirit?
We know that the Police De-
partment cannot patrol every
street and every home contin-
ually to apprehend these van
dals. But what of the respon-
sibility OF the parents who have
so little control or interest in
the conduct of their offspring
as not to know or care how
their children conduct them
selves away from home?
Perhaps we are spending too
much effort trying to educate
children and not enough effort
educating parents.

Man With q Plan

Charity should begin at
home. Accordingly. why not
try the following plan for one
year and see what happens:
Issue food stamps, to include
all surplus foods and related
items now in storage and under
price supports, to the follow
ing:
All families with incomes
under $4,000 per year.
All hospitals. private and
public.
All orphanages regardless of
denomination.
All families on relief and
pensions.
The above to be tried for a
period of one year renewable
only by presidential order. This
way politics will be kept out
Of the program.

Bronx Cheer for KremIin

The enormity Of the vitriolic
TRADES in Asia against the
West in general. and Britain
and the United States in par
ticular, was well UNDERSIGNED
in The Stars editorial of De-
cember 8. odd Prospective
Guests" 1t does seem. indeed,
as though Bulganin and
Khrushchev were intent upon
forcing Britain to withdraw its
invitation to them"
The lie technique employed
by Bulganin and Khrushchev
appears to have worked very
well against the interests of the
West in Asia. Considerable
hatred and fear Of Western
"colonialism" have been stirred
up by the visiting Russians in
India and Southeast Asia. If
one believes these lies and false
accusations, as the emotional
and uninformed masses of the
Far East evidently do, then
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-12-24

rage and fear against the West
are justifiable. or at least un-
derstandable. Such a reaction
in the United States or in
Great Britain. however. would
be well-nigh unthinkable. The
pompous, poker faced ha-
rangues of the Russian leaders
would be given the reception
which enlightened peoples with
a well-developed sense Of the
ridiculous have always given
the utterances Of dictators and
megalomaniacs - the "raZZ-
berries.
Lies and boastings wither be-
fore intelligence and amuse-
ment. II Bulganin and Khrush-
chev wish to accept their invi-
tation to visit England in April
in order to carry on their hate
campaign" it might be well to
have them do so. The spectacle
Of the Communist bosses wilt
ing under a storm of Western
laughter would have a most
salutary psychological effect
upon Asia and the countries
behind the Iron Curtain.

In hopes that st. Nicholas

Moore was returning from last
minute shopping on Christina
eve. 1922, when he stopped tt
talk with Jan Duycknick. Tn,
latter. an authority on Dutcl
legends, told the theologiar
about st. Nicholas, an earl!
bishop. Tales about st. Nichola.
and how the Dutch children
loved him because he visited thu
good ones and gave them presents
were narrated by the jolly Dutch
Ineighbor.
1t was dark when the mer
finished talking. When Moore
reached home he sat down and
wrote the poem, completing il
before dinner. Later he read
lit to his children.
The following summer Miss
Harriet Butler of Troy, N. Y,
visited the Moore home. She saw
the poem and obtained permits
sion to copy it. The next winter
she sent the poem unsigned to
the editor of the Troy IN. "
Sentinel. 1t was published for
the first time on December %
1928.
Not until 1914. when the poem
had achieved some popularity

Fight for Power

OLD Reactlonary states, BY
1853 the Government had be-
come the largest single pro-
ducer of power. producing 1871
per cent of the kilowatt hours
generated" He fails to &C
knowledge that private power
moguls refused this service
to rural areas because the
profits would be insufficient to
pay big dividends. iva was
developed because F. D. r.
decided to provide power to
rural farms to relieve the
hard necessity of manual labor
and to increase the produc-
tivity Of these neglected areas.
Now that iva is a going
concern it Is no surprise that
private interests desire to take
it over. Their greed ignores
the plight of ordinary citizens
and completely disregards
sound conservation measures.
The recent disastrous floods
in the Northeastern States
were not entirely unexpected.
Measures that would have pre-
vented them have been blocked
repeatedly by private interests.
A favorite platitude of re-
actonary idolaters of Herbert
Hooverism is that there is too
much business In Government.
A public be- damned attitude
and exorbitant demands of
private interests for excessive
profits gave Government
agencies the opportunity to
discover that they could fur
nish many of these services
with resultant substantial saw
ings in their budgets.
