N. > * ENTRAL POINT, OREGON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 31, !•» Musings^? By lhe Editor Once each .'ear, at a time wh n all newspapers are rushed with holi day business and when everyone connected therewith is in more or less of a daze, the poor editor must lit down and pound out a master piece concerning the "Yuletlde“, the “Christmas Spirit" or the like. And most of us begin after a while to lose hope that what we may say will be taken seriously, Each year we express the wish that the ■aid “Christmas Spirit" could live throughout the year. And before that year comes to a close comes war and sudden death, murders. strikes, racketeering and so forth until one gets weary of reading. Merry Christmas—And Safe, Too 1 Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year! Americans have good reason to put an added ring of sin cerity in the familiar old Yuletide greeting this tear. We have peace. Therefore, we are still a free people- tree to go where we please, free to say what we please, tree to manage our g vernment through the representatives of our own free choice. Of all the major nations in the world, we alone have these things. Let us not underestimate the grave domestic problems which con.'rout us in increasing numbers, some of which iu themselves will threaten our liberties if we fail to correct them. But so long ii we remain free to think, speak and act as soverign citizeni, we will find the right way out of our home- made difficulties. We shall retain our liberties and freedom so long as we rigidly follow the way of peace. in the year to come we will be tempted many times to tread the path of war. We will be told that it is our duty to save Europe, save Asia, save the whole world! 'But If we keep firmly in mind that our FIRST duty is to save America, we will not be tempted by the invita tion to war and the surrender of our most cherished rights • feedom and liberty. We have war euotizh on the home front. Particularly at this season of the year let us remember the tragic and shame ful accident casualty lists of street and highway and the home. Let us resolve, even as we turn our faces from the destructive fire of war to the constructive pledge of peace, that we shall make free America also safe—safe for those who walk and safe for those who ride. So let the glad tidings ring out, let it be shouted over and over through the length and breadth of our land, and in the joyous Yule season let us pause to whisper a prayer thut the blessings of freedom and peace which we cherish and shall pre- serve in America, may yet become the heritage of all people everywhere. Yes. a very Merry Chtistmas, and a joyouc Happy New Year and a sa er America for all. Cash Given To Purchase B.B.
