CHRISTMAS IS NEEDED ALL YEAR 'ROUND 1 Looking ,back on the Christmas season is apt to make a man wish that we could find some way of making a per manent, everyday thing out of the social consciousness which the' season- always seems to bring us. Christmas time sets us thinking about the other fellow and his trials. It persuades us to reach out a helping hand to give liini: a .lift," if lie neeils it. Por a' few brief weeks, every year, we let ourselves come fairly close to a realization of the' olid dream of humanity's brother hood. And a whole lot of the troubles that weigh our planet down would be lightened beyond, belief if we could manage to hold to that attitude the year around. '"' ' Think of the way it woi;ks out at Christmas time. Several weeks before the holiday we begin worrying about those whom financial or other misfortune is apt to deprive of .the holiil;'!tradi,Up.iYiIeKes and' blessings. Newspapers, welfare organizations, clubs and business or ganisations' make a poinl; of looking for unhappiness and re lieving it." All' of us get together and do what' we can to help. " '" We do a pretty good job, too, for the most part. And we do it, not because we're unusually. kind-hearted and unselfish but simply because at Christmas time wp get our eyes ppeni We become aware of the misery Which surrounds us: onctf aware' of it, we can't enjoy our own blessings' unless wdf somehow, manage to share them with the'JesS fortunate. rt In other words,. at Christmas we develop social consciences. The result is & brief but splendid display of human Bolidarityj. : Once Christmas is over, it vanishes. But, while it lasts, i$ gives' us an inkling of the possibilities. ' We gjJt a chance to see what the world could bo like if we were aware of the other fellow's 'troubles 'all the time, instead of just once a year.. - a'::; ' ;. " ; '"'''. ', And that, when you stop to think, about it, is just about all; we need! Once we're aware of them; wo do something about them, "fho heartlessness and indifference which the world so often displays to the unfortunate don't conic )ecause we are mean, but because we are blind. : If we could hold to the social consciousness of Christmas time and make it a part of our everyday life, this country would be an infinitely happier place..
