Is Christmas "Too Commercial?"
Many people, with the total exception of child
ren, have come to believe that Christmas has be
come loo commercial. In a spiritual sense, this
is true to some extent and 1he current widespread
campaiRil to "Put Christ Back Into Christmas" de
serves the support and belief of ail of us.
Economically, however, no other holiday or
festive season contributes so much to the welfare
of the world. Christmas has hardly passed into
the new year belore thousands are at work on toys
and myriads of other Christmas specialties for
the next holiday. Each year, as the lights of
Christmas trees twinkle on a wintry night, how
many of us think'of the millions who have gained
employment through the Christmas shopping in
dustry? And yet. "too commercial'' may be an overstate
ment. Is it too wrong, once a year, to make the
dominant theme one of giving, rather Than of
receiving? Christmas, and the spirit of Christmas,
has endured wars and great chaos through cen
turies as a time of joyousness and happiness, and
giving has always been an important part of the
lesti'. ities.
The picture of the family united, with presents
opened, and children wrapped in the joyousness of
childhood's greatest emotion is still, and we be
lieve will remain, the Christmas story.

"The law provides", Thornton
said, "that only a 'male person' is
permitted to compete in a boxing

"A section of the law also pro
vides that at least one member
of a boxing or wrestling commis

a physician iicensed to practice
