be in the making. Newspaper col
umnists in Minneapolis the various
service clubs, the Salvation Army
and various church groups all are
involved in doing something for
Christmas for those who are not
able to participate fully in the fes-
tival for reasons beyond their con-
troll. We noticed on TV where Min
nesota Gophers Sandy Stephens,
Judge Dickson and others who
will spend Christmas in sunny
California were doing their bit be-
fore leaving for Pasadena to bring
cheer to crippled children in a local
hospital. Both Elks lodges plan
the traditional Christmas parties
for the kids. The biggest Of the
kids parties is the st. Paul Limited
Ten Club party held Dec. %.
Some Twin City business firms
had their Christmas parties early
in the month. Others are having
theirs this week as the days before
Christmas seem to evaporate.
Despite the economic situation
a large number Of people are pre-
pairing to make holiday visits to
their home-towns. This is especial
ly true of those who have one or
more parents living. We know
dozens Of persons who are head
ing home for Christmas.
Christmas cards this year are
more simply beautiful than those
we've received In other years. We
probably say this each year but
we think Christmas card design
ers and manufacturers each year
improve upon their products.
Evidence of the world getting
smaller is found in the writers
mail this season-there are card
from 81 different countries-somt
from individuals we are disturbed
to know we don't recall. What diff
ference does that make though
since the spirit is the thing?
One Nigerian from whom we re
ceived a card combined the greet
ing with a business request, tn,

gerians are going places, if this il

competitive spirit. No American
we know would combine a Christ

some business. We are more sub

To US Christmas is always a
time to rededicate ourselves to
creating conditions Of peace and
forebearance in our personal life
and in our public activities. People
who are at war in their homes, in
their family life are not apt to be

Christmas cards are an index to
the sender's character, cultural
tastes and general attitudes.
We know some people who will
spend hours selecting the cards
they plan to send friends. We
know one fellow who sends out
a couple Of hundred cards which
he selects in March, months ahead
and each 25 of them have different
themes and design. He laboriously
signs each one Of them and address
ses them himself despite the fact
he boasts a couple Of secretaries
and a wife at home.
In some families, maybe most,
the wife selects the cards and
usually they are prettier or more
tasteful than those selected by a
} mere man but often this is not
so and the man is the card auth
