Ifow quickly the months have rolled around and how much lias happened since last we observed this greatest of all holidays. The Christmas story, the great est story the world has known the good news of ull time will , bo told and retold. 11 is ever now and always wonderful. One of our local business men called this editor Into bis ofllco this morning to show lilm a letter received rrom the president or one of the lurgest banking Insl Hut ions a government agency on the Pacific count. It was a Christinas greeting letter sent to riiianelal Institutions in the six northwest states and Alaska. Mere aro threo paragraphs from this splendid letter: "It might be a good time io pause, and think of the things which havo been done for us anil to reflect on our own moral re sponsibility and our own duties and demands which now call us. Wo have our duties to our families, to our friends, to our country, und last und greatest to our Creator. This may sound strange In a busi ness letter coming from a busi ness organization, but the time has arrived In America when we must commence to think of this and view the gathering storm from other angles than Ihe interest rate or dividend. "I hope that all of our people are appreciative of the blessings which they have had, and these blessings aro so many that I can only refer to two or three -the blessing of good health In our homes, Ihe blessing that our boys are not on Ihe battle fields having their bodies torn apart trying to hold buck brute lorce In Us lust for destruction. "As you sit around your Christ- mas tree on tbu evening of the 2 lib with your family ami your friends. 1 hope that you will pause and rellect on the responsibilities which are going to be laid at your door In the months lo come. Already wo hear tile rumbling of the gathering storm, and I think It is proper that we should now take Inventory of our povicr to wllhslaud this lineal." 4 Although there Is a note of gloom and fnrolioilnm in Ilie above, It nevertheless Indlrates even better than cheerlul words could the deep and moving spiilt that Is 'American, lliit siiot or lit tie shot man at a desk or man In uniform - we all teel the same way.

CIIAS. A. KDWAUUS A Christmas Carol It is unforlunale that the derivation of the term carol is largely clothed in obscurity. The word summons to our minds the picture of small groups of people traveling from house to house in the gently falling snow at t'hi'lstmastide and joyously singing praises In honor of the birth of .lesus. Hut when did this custom begin? r'runkly. we do not definitely know. The most we can say Is that as early as A. I. 120 the singing of carols was known in Rome, and the practice was en joyed by the bishop- However, the carol seems to have had some kinship Willi tho Italian word. Corolla, which means a sarlaud. a ring, or a coronet. The same word was used to sig nify a ring. In which a manger was set up as the center for the singers. In 1'rance the word "carole" denoted a particular tvpe of song. In Knclnnd car oling Implied singing, though not entirely eonrined lo the Christmas season. In modern usage the word has gone through a distinctive change and it Is understood io lie stag ing of popular Christinas car ols. II gives voice to Ihe r di uious emotions of goc.l peopK-. Carols are used as the co:-.imem oration of the Lords nativity. In uoillieru Kurope especially Ihe annual celebration of Christ' birth was grarte.l up in a a great national holiday line, which had a sUnltlc.nioe on a great national holiday l.rols of Christmas al nc live. men. order for those men who have demons! rated their ability (luring the past two months.

Beauty of City's Lighting Displays Symbolizes Yule Roseburg's residential areas buz zed with traffic last night as hun dreds of residents took advantage of the fine weather conditions to view the unusually large number of outdoor Christmas lighting dis plays to be found in all parts of town. Outdoor illumination has been made far more extensive this year than ever hetore, and there are numerous large scale displays In addition to the- more modest ef forts. Merchants report a complete sellout of outdoor lighting equip ment and sets and u. far greater demand for these items than in any previous year. The largest display is that at the homo of Mr. and Mrs. V. J. Mlcelli on the hillside in the east part of town. Winners of the an nual Lions club's annual award for outdoor lighting1 Tor several years, Mr. and Mrs. Micelli have considerably enlarged their dis play this year. A. fine view may be obtained from Chadwick street, immediately below the home. Great interest has been attract ed by the display at the A. G. Fie gel home on K. 1st Ave., North, in North Rosehurg, where bright strings of 1;;hts, decorated wreath, trees, entrance candles and many other features draw at tention to a figure of Santa Claus descending the chimney. Softly played Christmas carols through an outdoor speaker enhance the beauty of the display. Laurelwood offers many colorful displays, particularly that at the Chester Morgan home, adjoining tiic senior high school grounds. Outlined in colored lights, and with a most artistic arratmeineut ol decorations and entrance can dles, the display has won wide spread attention and admiration. Nearly every street in town of fers a glimpse of beautiful Christ mas lighting effects which are be ing viewed nightly by great num bers of persons.
