Christinas, 1917, is destined to break over a world torn with strife and bleeding from suffering and privation. The closing •year has seen thousands of Old World homes, and some few in lAmerica, deprived forever of loved ones who, in days of peace, gathered at the family fireside to do .homage to the Savior on [His Day. Those heroes are gone, however bright and sacred their memory may remain in the hearts of those dear to them— jgone, but carrying with them the blessings of a world dedicated {to the cause of democracy. To those dead we pause to pay tribute, not only on this, 'Christ's Day, but on each and every day. But to the living, to the men who are contending at arms for worldwide democracy, .we owe that honor which must be rewarded in a manner both Spiritual and materialistic. Christmas to the man in the trench es, in the training camps and schools, and on the high seas will ’be Christmas only in name without the active co-operation of the American people—without the co-operation of you and of I. We are not going to forget our friends in the service: American friendship is not of that type. There will be those .whose Christmas packages and messages of cheer will number a dozen or more and probably nearly every man will receive some remembrance from the folks baclf home. But what of the man who has no folks back home? These are the ones who would be forgotten but for the Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A. What Santa Claus is to the child, that, and more, the Red Cross and the Y. M. are to the soldiers and sailors at Yuletide and to these organizations is due our support. Tomorrow the American Red Cross starts its monster drive for members. America’s Christmas gift to the soldiers of demo cracy ia to be a Red Cross representing 15,000,000 loyal Ameri can members, 240,000 from Oregon. Of this latter number 0000 have been alloted to Lane county, in which campaign district the University is to be included. Tonight in the various fraternities and clubs, speakers will explain the work of the Red Cross and outline the plan of the membership campaign. Then what? Then it is up to every student of Oregon to do his or her share In making the local campaign one to be pointed to with pride. It is not enough that you should join the Red Cross your self. That is but a small part of your duty. Appoint yourself a committee of one to boost the membership campaign and spare no effort to make this a Red Cross Christmas. “Peace on Earth,” there cannot be so long as democracy is threatened, but “Good Will Toward Man” there always is wher ever the strong, just arm of the Red Cross shall reach. MERRY CHRISTMAS—HAPPY NEW YEAR. With this issue the Emerald suspends publication for the first semester, that the members of the staff may have every op portunity to prepare for the final examinations next week. Hand icapped by the loss of many of those students who had previous experience on the paper, the work of the staff members has been exceptionally burdensome during the weeks since the open ing of school and the rest they will have during the holidays has been well earned. The work will be taken up once more on .Jan uary 3 and the next edition will appear on Saturday, Jan. 5. The Emerald takes this opportunity of thanking the mem bers of the staff and the students and faculty of the School of Journalism for their faithful work, and to express its apprecia tion of the support given by the students and faculty of the Uni versity and by the loyal merchants of Eugene. To all the Emer ald extends its sincere wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. “A MUSICAL CHRISTMAS” When looking lor anything: Musical see us first The Music Shop.
