1 THE GIFT UNIVERSAL.
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.
