MARINE CORPS NEEDS MORE MEN In the second section, the glee club divided into five parts will give a portrayal of the first Christmas in Bethlehem, with atmosphere music being furnished by unseen singers.

The sharp clang of the doorbell was a welcome sound Hastening joyously she flung the door wide open. “For me? Come in, Timmy.” She smiled down at the wizened old hunchback shivering on the door step. Ann took the package tendered almost ceremoniously, bearing con spicuously the label of his own small flower shop. And with the privilege of a lifelong friend Timmy followed her into the warm lamplit room. Slowly and musingly Ann untied the bright tinsel bows. She knew without looking what the box con tained and as her fingers broke the seals she seemed again to hear Jer ry's voice, low, quivering and hurt. They had gone to a dance that memorable Christmas eve and homeward through the whitening mist she had tried, bravely, to tell him she must marry another man. A frantic Jerry pleading and a strange new ache at her heart, she had stood for a moment on the run- charge of the Western Recruiting Division, which includes the eleven western states, has ordered all dis trict recruiting stations to remain open seven days a week during the day and in the evenings. This order also affects the recruiting substation in Walla Walla, Wn.

FRIENDSHIP DURING THIS AND OTHER YEARS Farm Bureau Cooperative and Service Station McClure Syndicate— WNU Service » ur- ing the year, and look for oar pleasant ning board of his car and Jerry had whispered: "But, darling little Ann, IT) love you always—always!” lie had touched with reverent clumsy fingers the single crimson rose she was wearing on the soft black fur of her evening wrap. The touch seemed to give him an idea. Jerry was romantic and they were both so young. "No matter wherev er I may be, little Ann,” he said, “I'll send you red roses at Christ mas time and you will know.” "If ever,” he had added, crush ing her close as he lifted her down, “if ever I feel I can live without you, when the scars of this night heal. I’ll send white ones. Remem ber!” and with a quick stride he was gone. But she had not married the other man. Somehow after that she couldn't. But impulsive hot-headed Jerry left that night, a stowaway on a tramp steamer bound for China, and now one, two, three, four long years unrolled before her. Her letters, pleading and un ashamed had followed him half way around the earth gathering curious postmarks, undecipherable, but eventually they had returned, tat tered, torn—but unclaimed. But they had come. From strange lands in far odd corners they had come, those orders to old Timmy the florist for the red, red roses as red as her own heart’s blood that now beat so chokingly in her throat. And she would wait, wait forever if need be, for Jerry. Exultantly she lifted the lid. Roses! But slowly over her face froze a look of piteous unbelief. The mass of blossoms blurred before her eyes and Jerry’s pain-torn words rang in her ears: “If ever I can live without you. I’ll send white ones.” And— these were white. As white as the drifting snow outside. White roses! Mutely her lips formed the words. Oh, God, it couldn't be, after al! these years! White roses! “You don’t like them? I very sor ry.” Crestfallen, apologetic, old Tim my was turning to go. “But the order came so late. No red ones left for you, only leetle wilty buds and so I peeck the beeg, beeg white ones for you." His dim old eyes pleaded eloquently for her under standing. Oh!—Oh! —breathlessly. The light that ne'er was on land or sea came flooding back into Ann's face and clear as a child's faith in Santa Claus the far-away chimes were pealing Peace, good will to men! Jerry had meant red roses after all. Hermiston Drug Co. Christmas Brought Jesters Medieval kings used to have fools and jesters to amuse them. Later, however, the wearers of the cap and bells were not the exclusive posses sion of kings and queens, princes, counts, barons and bishops, for the fashion of keeping buffoons passed from sovereigns to corporations and private individuals. These jesters were then brought into requisition during the Christmas season, and retained to brighten up the hall and kitchen with their witty sayings and practical jokes.
