PEACE ON EARTH—GOOD WILL
TOWARD .MEN
Both beautiful and tragic is the
Christmas Spirit that steals over
mankind this time of the year, caus
ing men to forget their petty
grudges, to make new friends out
of old enemies and cloaking the
world in the spirit of true brother-
hood. The beauty of the Christmas
Spirit lies in the peace that des-
cends on the world as a result. The
tragedy is that the spirit is all too
short lived.
Never, perhaps, in the history of
the nation has there been a greater
need for the literal application of
the Christmas admonition—“Peace
on Earth, Good Will Toward Men."
In this, the Christmas season, let
us seek lasting peace between all
groups in our society; the substitu
tion of the council table for strife,
discord and suspicion. Let us seek
lasting peace between labor, man-

CHRISTMAS HAPPINESS VERSES
TRAGEDY
Every holiday season we read ac
counts of accidents with fire. Before
anyone can raise a hand, someone's
happy Christmas is changed to stark
tragedy!
This year do something to protect
your loved ones from the special
fire hazards brought into most
homes for the holidays. The
National Board of Fire Under

Anchor your Christmas tree se
curely, locate it away from heating
and lighting fixtures and trim it
