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.
