This spontaneous display of
love and friendship at this inn
promptu affair was truly an
object lesson to us of the older
set, who have lost our sense of
friendship and brotherly love.
This observation includes those
of us who profess Christianity.
All hail to the Jazzy- Ones!
Long may you live and keep
alive this spirit of love and
loyalty to one another and to
the world. AS you roar down

This family of three, along with

Town Hall meeting, called by World

if he would invest The old gen.
tleman cheerfully turned over his
money. Mr.. Business Man re-
marked: I'll buy machinery with
this money so that Joe can turn
his working hours into more cOf-
fee-pots per hour.
Production engineers brought
in steel, conveyors, motor lover
the protest of the Labor Leader
who denounced machines. In an
hour Joe made two coffee pots
instead of one. Mrs. Hunter
bought one for herself and one
for her neighbor, Mrs. Shrewd
Shopper, paying IS cents each.
The Business Man gave Grandpa
a dime dividend and put aside 80
cents for reserves and material,
stating, 80 cents in New Wealth

Then Business Man turned to
the Preacher, Educator and Poll

learn the secret of producing New

try from the crack-pot social and
economic Schcmcr?"
The Hunter family exclaimed in
unison; I'VE did this ourselves
The Business Man said: World

You Hunters arc the government.
Why don't you fire him."
Grandpa asked Business Man
just what part he played in the
picture. He replied; Il send out

Carols Traditional
On Beacon Hill

Every Christmas Eve the lights
of Boston's Beacon Hill shine
more brightly as happy carolers
sing out their Yuletide greetings.
The custom of Beacon Hill car
OILS was originated by Frederick
w. Briggs, in 1895, after spending
a merry and musical evening in
an English town. In recent years
some 10000 Christmas celebra-
tors have joined the wandering
Ministries in celebrating Joyous
Yuletide on the Hill.
From the brilliantly illuminat-
ed State House to Charles Street,
from aristocratic Beacon Street
right over the Hill into the slum
districts, old houses beam holi-
day tidings. Carolers stream up
and down the Hill, past mansion
fronts which are gaily illumi-
mated with vari-colored lights. At
Louisburg Square, guests toast
each other with eggnog and the
evening rings with the sounds of
good fellowship and the echo of
happy Yuletide greetings.

every man would have job and
human rights would come before
property rights.
MIR. World Palmer told Joe job
Hunter to start to work. What
shall | make?" Joe asked. Palmer
asked Mrs. Bargain Hunter what
she would buy. She said she'd buy
a coffee-pot. After an hours hard
work, Joe had made a coffee-pot
and demanded dollar. Mrs.
Hunter refused to pay more than
IS cents. Palmer suggested that
Joe accept Is cents for his hours
work and went on sit-down
strike.
In desperation Palmer turned
to Grandpa Hunter; suggested he
go to his sugar bowl; take out
some of his savings to prime the
pump and keep Joe Working. He
told Grandpa: Human rights are
involved They come first and
your money is just property rights
Grandpa refused and blurted
out that the money was his nest

by great sacifice to provide food
and shelter for his old age. I'll
be DANCED no crack-pot scheme

Palmer lost his temper accused
the Hunters of being uncoopera-
tive: of following human impulses,
which he proposed to change. I'VE

The Preacher, Politician and
Educator spoke up. I'VE know the
trouble they said, its Wall
Street monopoly; free enterprise
is a failure; we know what's wrong
but the Hunters arc too dumb to
understand; we'll get WPA
started again and use government
deficits to prime the pump"
At this juncture quiet, self
possessed man rose, went forward
and said, 81 am a Business Man"
Mrs. Hunter spoke up, Give this
man chance to talk. He did

The Business Man said ITS
very simple; for years I've been
hiring workers to make things.
Customers always demand bar
gains; labor, top wages; and
stockholders, dividends. That's
right; it's human nature. That's
what makes industry progress. l

have more unless you produce
more-that's the precious secret

things done. Having obtained a
