First ChriSfmoS Seal
Issued In Denmark

One afternoon in the weeks be-
fore Christmas, a postal clerk in
Denmark named Einar Holboll was
busy sorting piles of Christmas
Cards and letters.
AS the hundreds of envelopes
sped before his eyes, a thought
came to Einar Holboll - how Won
derful it would be if every one
of the missives could bear a little
stiCker that was the symbol of a
gift to some work of charity ..
a hospital a hospital for the
children sick with tuberculosis
there were so many in Denmark.
Each gift need be only a tiny
amount, there would be so many
of the StickerS.
Holboll talked about his idea
Influential citizens brought it to
the attention of the king, Christ
ian TX, who gave official approval
and the stamps went on sale in
all Danish post offices. The idea
was SO successful that a sanitori-
UNI was begun the first year
The idea spread to America be-

Drawing BY Durer Hos
Dramatic BACKGROUND

One of the worlds most beloved
drawings is the famed Praying
Hands" of Albrecht Durer, the
German artist (1471-1528).
There is a wonderful story of
sacrifice behind the Druer master
piece.
The young Albrecht Durer was
rooming with a fellow art student,
but there was not enough money
between them for food or lodging.
Durer's friend agreed to go to
work in the fields so that Albrecht
could continue his studies.
After weeks of hard labor, the
friends hands had become so stiff
fened by toll that he had to give
up his drawing altogether.
1t was these toil-worn hands,
which had been sacrificed in his
behalf, to give him the opportunity
to continue his artistic career, that
Durer rendered so lovingly and
with so much feeling in his Pray
ing Hands"
Durer went on to become one of
the great masters, but none of his
work is quite so famous as the
Praying Hands," which has come
to be a symbol of prayer through
out the world.
So revered is the drawing that a
fable has grown up about it-that
the household that has a copy of
the print will be blessed with hap
piness and domestic bliss.
Certainly a copy of the Durer
drawing on the wall of any home
will inspire thoughts about God
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1961-12-22

to get down on their knees to
praise God Jehovah, from whom
all blessings flow.
This year our church and organ
national choral groups and choirs
are preparing Christmas music
treats for all who will hear. There's
nothing like counting you blessings
in song.
We had a feeling that the radio
stations start beaming Christmas
carols and music too soon, but
even that is not going to stop
our enjoyment of the holiday songs
from the voices of the many.
All of us in this great country,
with all of its imperfections have
great deal to be thankful and
happy about. This Christmas don't
forget to count your blessings,
each and everyone!
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1961-12-22

for peace are just a little bit
brighter than they were two
months ago.
This year various Twin City
newspaper columnists and organ
izations like the Salvation Army
are already to help make the Holt
day of any of our less fortunate
brethren, happy season.
Organized giving to the tables
of the unemployed, gifts and toys
to their children, special visits to
the hospitals, the orphanages, the
rest homes are all a part of the
area Christmas approach. It's a
real blessing that we have indiv-
iduals and organizations who con-
Germ themselves with the happi-
ness of others at this time of the
year.
We think we ought to be very
pleased that the recession we
were experiencing this time last
year has apparently receded.
That's a blessing we must not
forget to count.
Every time we approach being
pessimistic about anything we re-
member a small card under the
glass top of a desk of a certain
Minnesota industrialist. It's not
there now, because the style of
desks have changed. Many years
ago when we went into this mans
office feeling sorry for our lot we
sat before the desk while occupant
finished a telephone call.
We spied the card which read:
Il Complained Because 1 Had No
Shoes, Until I Saw A Man Who
Had No Feet" That sentence
struck us so forcibly that almost
automatically whenever we feel
the slightest bit of pessimism COM
ing on - we remember that in
scription.
At this time of the year the
thought embodied in the simple
statement we have just quoted
ought to provide a lesson for us
all, even those sorely beset by hui
man problems. Some of us have
learned that to be living, even with
poor health is something for which
to be thankful.
In our rambling around the two
towns in the. past few days we
have met and visited with persons
sorely affected by ailments of the
body and almost without exception
their demeanors, their courage -
under often extreme bodily pain re-
minded us again that those of us
who are we'll and hardy-at this
time ought to count each day, as a
blessing.
There Is no season in the year

which brings out as much good
in we humans as the Christmas
period. Call it over commercial
lied If you will, 1t still provides
for civilized man opportunity to
shed his inhibitiOns and show his
real true self to his fellows.
Many of us show in this period
the real feeling we have for others
So weeks a year. Due to some
quirk in the makeup of too many
of us we wait to religious festival
period like Christmas to show just
how much love and friendliness we
have for our fellows.
Some readers who have followed
this piece this far will be glad we
have pointed out that Christmas is
religious festival. Too many of
us forget this fact. Many however
do not forget and do not neglect

Christmas shoppers, the hardy per-
rentals, who gladden. the hearts
and fatten the Golfers of the mer-
chants, large and small.
From the many headlines which
reveal the uncertainty which faces
the world family, one could expect
the faces of those thronging the
downtown stores of each of our
Twin Cities to show the strain of
living in a troubled world. But to
the contrary, this years shoppers
SEEM happy, they seem more as
sured that all will be alright
Even the fathers and some of
the working mothers who must
pay the holiday gift bills in jan
uary seem happier than we have
noted in many year.
We've walked around more this
year in each of the downtown
areas, than any year since we sold
advertising in both Twin City
loops. We made it point to visit
advertisers both in the downtown
section and the outlying areas also.
Most of them were doing bus
mess" This of course made us
very happy because when business
is good with them, it usually is
good for us, too.
During some of the recent world
crisises we despaired of their be-
ing any Christmas spirit left this
year. When the President found it
necessary to call up National
Guard units and reserve forces we
felt that this was going to spoil
the Christmas of a great number
of families.
Now, at least at this date, even
those men who have had to answer
the call to colors have something
to be thankful for in that no shoot
ing war has started, and the hopes

ton. Establish cells i'm all areas. When the
time is ripe we will know who to eliminate
and who to elevate. Having been given
badly needed leadership, ObtainabIe from no
one else, the poverty stricken people muster
to the cause. And SO the cancer grows.
To see the fury of a people, partially
allayed by the election of Dictator but still
operative, let us go back in time to May h.
1853 The city is Caracas and the country
is Venezuela. At 1888 am. Vice President
Nixon lands at the airport. AS Mr.. Nixon
and his wife step from the plane, crowd
of about 500 youths start to boo and whistle.
They didn't even stop for the singing of the
national anthems AS the Nixons walked
toward the airport building through two
columns of soldiers, the sky began to rain
spit. The crowd was splitting over the heads
of the soldiers onto the Vice President and
his party The sky was still raining spit
when the Nixons boarded their car some
minutes later.
In downtown Caracas a traffic jam
stopped the Nixon motOrcade. Immediately,
a crowd of rough men surged toward the
cars, breaking windows and screaming inn
precautions. The cars got moving again. but
a short distance ahead two trucks cOllided,
deliberately some thought and blocked the
way. A mob closed in, wild and completely
out of control. Scrap iron, sticks, and brick
bats pounded the cars and flew through the
air. The windows of some of the cars were
broken The mob tried to break into the
Vice Presidents car. Some observers believe
that at that moment Vice President NixOn's
life hung on thread. The Vice Presidents
car turned down a side street and escaped.
There is no doubt that the Communists
organized and directed the entire attack and
the demonstrations against our Vice Presi-
dent. But the Communists did not create
the fury in the people - that was already
there. Pockets of such fury still exist in
Latin America. Can they be allayed before
the cancer of Communism has grown to
tumor too large to be removed without
major war? Probably no one knows for the
teakettles are bouncing on the stoves in sew
eral Latin American countries.

The animated cartoons on television
|. sometimes show teakettIe on a hot fire
. threatening to blow up. 1t bulges at the
casional squirt of steam escapes with loud
hiss. Finally in flare of violence the tea
kettle explodes, throwing water and steam
/. all over the place.
/ Some nations of the world may be com.
pared to a kettle on a hot stove Honest
elections are never held. Honorable opposi-
ton candidates are either not permitted to
speak, or if they are their supporters are
not allowed to vote or in some cases the
opposition votes are not counted AS the
crooked regime in power grows more ar
rogant, its take in graft becomes greater.
The opposition becomes more angry and
stronger measures are required to hold them
in check. Soon it is necessary for the ty-
rant to Jail, murder, or exile leaders of the
opposition. Supporters of the opposition are
prosecuted and lose their jobs. All those of
the opposition left are required to remain
silent and the repressed fury of wronged
and pillaged people grows in sullen silence.
The teakettle on the stove is beginning to
bounce and bulge at the seams.
In days gone by when the fury of a
people could no longer be contained, mill
tary man or an exiled leader would lead a
rebellion The teakettle exploded, the old
tyrant was thrown out and a new one es-
tablished. Then the whole process was re-
peated over again with those dictators es-
Gaping taking a good share of the nations
wealth with them.
Today, 1t works differently. The tyrant
of today, having eliminated all opposition
leadership, sits on a smouldering, leaderless
mass of people, stewing in their fury Now
the people don't have to wait for an exiled
leader to return. There among them is one
or more agents of a foreign power singing
the song of Communism, which sounds sweet
and reasonable to a people in despair. The
Communist agent doesn't call for an immedi-
ate rebellion as an exiled leader might have
done in the old days. Take your time, he
tells the people. Organize for the revoIu-
