CHRISTMAS DAY Dec. 25th,
next Tuesday, will, to some
modernS, only mean Xmas, g
commercial day, with Christ
crossed out. To others it will
mean the birth of a Saviour
only for their particular race,
color, or cred with the Colored
brother, in particular, not in
cluded among the Wise Men,
nor even in the congregations
of many a modern day church.
Since Christmas has many in
terpretatoins, I humbly submit
what Christmas means to me.
THE CREATOR, by sending
an immortal Saviour to the
World, has certainly shown
mankind that he can land
does send human saviours
too, among many babes born
into tAe world. Thus the re-
peated world prayers for
SaviourS" has been fulfilled
through the ages. The early
Scriptures tell of Noah, Abra-
ham, Moses, among others, all
born for a purpose, before
Christ. And in later days came
human saviours like the man
called Abe Lincoln.
THE WISE MEN of the Christ
mas story came from the East:
from Asia and Africa, but YOU
would hardly know it from
many of the pictures or
models. Similarly the fact re-
mains that the wise men of
both East and West have
through history sought human
saviors to solve world prob.
lens. So God sent Florence
Nightingale, Thomas Edison,
Marconi, Charles Dickens, DR..
Carver and many others to
serve their mission according
to their talents"
THIS DEMOCRACY, called
America, was only faint
dream and vision until God
chose human mothers to give
birth to mortal men and
saviors like George Washing
ton, Sam Adams, Ben Frank
lin, Alexander Hamilton,
among others, after first pro-
viding for the birth of early
pioneers to fit the pattern,

Death Rides With Holiday
Traffic Registrar Warns

Registrar of Motor Vehicles,
Rudolph F. King, Chairman of
the Massachusetts, Highway
Safety Committee, today
issued an urgent appeal to all
highway users whether motor
list or pedestrian to give high
way safety greater attention
during the dangerous month
of December than ever before.
Holiday crowds, early dark
ness, and unusual weather
conditions increase traffic ha-
yards. ITO back the attack
on traffic accidents, strongly
advise all motorists and pc
destrianS to use extreme care
and to be alert when driving
or walking" cautioned the Re-
giStrar.
Massachusetts enforcement
officials will join forces in an
effort to reduce traffic fatal
tiles and mishapS, and unrea-
sonable speed and driving I'M
der the influence will not be
tolerated.
IF we are TO eliminate a
repetition of highway slaugh-
ter which last December result
ted in the deaths of 83 persons,
each and every citizen must
cooperate and participate by
practicing and obeying safe
driving and walking rules"
continued the Registrar.
During the Christmas holi-
day period last year, IT per-
sons were killed in highway
traffic mishapS. If you must
have a Christmas Party and
wine and dine your guests, pro-
vide safe transportation for
them so that these happy
celebrations will not end in
tragedy" concluded Registrar
KING.

Pointers On Care
OF Holiday Plants

The colorful PoinSettia. and
other holiday plants will thrive
Tor several weeks when given
proper care. General directions
given by the Middlesex County
Extension Service, are to water
daily, and keep in a cool hum
i'd room. When Poinsettias and
other holiday fovofites such
as begohias, Jerusalem cher
ries and Cyclamen ae kept in
q very hot room, they will soon
die.
A native shrub of tropical
America, the Poinsettia. is one
OF the most popular holiday
plants. It is attractive only as
long as 1t holds the bracts. or
red leaves. When these fall. it
loses its beauty. AS long as the
plant is kept in humid at
mosphere which is warm. but
not hot, it will hold the leaves.
It needs a thorough wettlng
each day. If water touches the
leaves, they will turn yellow
and drop. A tender plant, no
drafts should reach the plant.
Another favorite at holiday
time is the JeruSalum Cherry
This old fashioned plant still
is popular for its bright fruit
in the winter season To pre-
vent dropping of its gay berry.
carefully spray the leaves daily
when watering the plant A
clothes sprinkler gives the
necessary fine spray. Then
thoroughly water the plant. II

six children together in a too

always a prospective tenant, can
hurt their spirits as much as

Decision Sought
On Boys Clubs

The Commissioners Will try Il
reach a final conclusion soon OF
the District governments posi-
ton with respect to the racial,
segregated Metropolitan Police
Boys Clubs, Commissioner Rob.
ert E. Mclaughlin said yester.
day.
Eugene Davidson, president o.
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
recently urged the city heads tx
withdraw all official aid from the
clubs.
The Commissioners held q
lengthy conference yesterday
with Thomas G. Carney, presi.
dent, and other boys clubs of.
ficials.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said no con-
illusions we're reached at the
meeting. There appeared to be
no significant change in the
present situation.
Closing of Clubs Threatened
Last February, Mr.. Carney
urged citizens to continue sup
port Of the clubs on the present
segregated basis, rather than risk
financial ruin of the juvenile
delinquency = fighting organiza-
ton. He said that many white
members (adult contributors
had stated they would not sup
port an integrated organization.
He added that records from
past campaigns disclosed that
dues paid by white members
constituted over 81 per cent of
the total amount collected, and
said a substantial lessening of
the financial support would re-
suit in closing the clubs.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said yesterday
that the Board of Commissioners
would meet on the subject of the
boys clubs as soon as they had
an opportunity.
He noted that it is not really
the Districts club, but a pri-
vately organized club which,
however. receives considerable
assistance from the Police De-
partment in the solicitation of
funds.
Use 3 d. C.-Owned Buildings
Mr.. Mclaughlin said the only
thing the Commissioners could
say would be negative. The clubs
obviously are performing a valu-
able public service, he noted. The
question for the District govern
ment is whether it should with
draw its services. which include
the use Of three buildings.
The clubs occupy quarters in
the basement of No. 5 Police Pre-
cinct, in the old Walker School,
Third and L streets NV, and in
an old f1rehouse in the Southeast.
The clubs have until June 80 to
evacuate a unit at the Brookland
Elementary School under a Board
OF Education decision.

Arrive to Visit u. S.

Fifty-f1ve members of the Ma

to Washington TO-DAY.
A few days ago John B. Gill;
land. president of the District
Congress of Parents and Teach
ers, met members of the Japa-
neSe equivalent of his organiza-
ton at a national PTA conven-
ton in San Francisco.
Mr.. Gillilland casually sug-
gested the group pay a visit here,
This morning, the japanese
mothers and fathers flew into
National Airport to take up the
invitation.
Language Difficult
Mr.. Gillilland and some other
Washington PTA leaders went to
the airport to greet the visitors.
The reception was cordial but a
little confusing, however. This
was because practically none of
the visiting party could speak
English and no one in the receiv-
ing party could speak japanese.
John Beitz of the State De-
partment's International Educa-
tional Exchange Service was on
hand to extend official welcome.
Tsunenobu Shiozawa, presi-
dent of the japanese PTA Con-
greSS, through an interpreter ex-
pressed appreciation for the well
come.
Love of Children Stressed
He told Mr.. Gilliland that the
foundation of world peace is for
people to know each other better
and to love the children of every
country.
Afterward the party set out in
sightseeing buses for a visit to
the White House, Mount Vernon
and other places of interest.
Only nine of the japanese
party were women. Mrs. Kayo
Senba of Tokyo, the mother of
two elementary school children,
explained that in Japan women
are supposed mostly to stay in
the home"
Big Membership Claimed
Both mothers and fathers be-
long to Japanese PTAs, however,
just as they do here. DR.. Shigeru
Yamazaki, of Kumagaya City,
|modestly estimated there are
about 80 million members in the
'PTA Federation of Saitama Pre-

lecture in Japan in size, he said.

four children ranging from 10I
to 20. The eldest is a pre-med-
ical student.

tourists while in line to go
