Lydia, dear:
Tell Lib I can't join you for
the Great Day.-After all, we do
publish a newspaper on Monday
night. But never fret, I've had
my Christmas dinner.'
The fire roared on the great
hearth; there were apple Santas
on the paneled matel and a tall
tree glittered in the corner of the
cheerful lounge of St. Vincent de
Paul church's hall Sunday after
noon, but the greatest glow was on
the faces of my fellow diners,
fin wheelchairs and walkers, on
crutches and even two, on stretch
ers, approximately 50 of the hosts
and hostesses appeared to be, al
most helpless. Yet one. woman
with badly clubbed . feet and a
face so lovely some artists should
record it pushed a wheelchair be
fore her into the dining room.
The older persons helped the
younger and the young folk gave
assistance to -the old.
And there were those whose
faces bore the ravages of the dis
ease which had twisted their
bodies girls with' beautiful hair
and smooth white foreheads and
the eyes of great beauties who had
lost the thing that many girls hold
most precious, facial expression. ;
A light burned above the stable
in the creche beneath the Christ
mas tree and for a moment Z
thought i was among those who
had been brought together in one;
place that they might touch the
hem of His garment and be made

bor stabilization agreements un
covered here the past week by
investigating , representatives - of

clude two or three cases which

trivial and were caused by mis

dent agent here for the commis
sion, said Tuesday.
The investigation, which fol
lowed a number of complaints, is
merely the beginning, war man

from the most I recent employer.
The rules , were made to aid in
channeling skilled and trained
