'God's Will' Replaces Yule
Greetings By Chicago People
Chicago -CTD- "God s will
be done."
These are the words, not
"Merry Christmas," heard
most often this holiday season
in the Our Lady of the Angels
Parish, where 89 children
and three nuns perished in a
parochial school fire Dec. 1.
Parents now take what
comfort they can from their
church's condolence, "It was
God's will."
Tradesmen say that is what
they hear most often when
the grief-numbed parents dis
cuss the fire.
This reporter spent a day in
the West Side community
which still mourns its dead,
and never once heard a
Christmas greeting.
A little shop is doing a com
paratively brisk business in
"thank you" cards, but there
is not much demand for
Christmas tinsel.
No Street Decorations
Mothers whose children
never again will come home
from school like to stop in at
the shop. They inquire about
the proprietor's son, critically
hurt in the fire, and hear the
report, "still critical." They
choose a card or two at the
section devoted to "thank you
for your sympathy" messages,
and then leave.
Other years, merchants have
decorated the streets with hol
iday streamers, but not now.
It was easy to find the man
ager of the ten cent store in
the Our Lady of the Angels
Parish. Business dropped for
the first time this year the
week of the fire, he said, and
never has recovered.
The record player in a
neighborhood tavern is most
ly silent. The proprietor said
business has dropped from
$80 a day to $5 or $10, "If I'm
lucky."

SANTA QUOTED PRICES
Herrin, III.- (UPD -Gary Col
lard, 8, has set up his own
shopper's aid for Santa Claus.
Alongside his list of Christ
has wishes Gary quoted the
price of each item. Total cost
- $95.32.
Die frame the American Le
gion Alamo Post No. 885. Two
of the post's three Christmas
parties have been cancelled,
the third scheduled only be
cause it also is a benefit for
the poor.
Masses formerly held in the
school chapel have been trans
ferred to the neighborhood
movie theater. The manager,
of the Lutheran faith, is on
hand each Sunday morning in
time to open the theater for
the 8:15 o'clock Mass.
Employees remembered the
children more by face than
name.
"That pretty little girl I
scolded for running," the can
dy counter concessionaire
said, her eyes bright with
tears. "She's never come
back."
The ticket seller recalled
how she watched terrified
mothers race past the theater
toward the burning school.
"I pray that no one will be
bitter," she said.
If there is bitterness, it is
not apparent.
"It was God's will."
Vehicle Department Gels New Building
Salem (UPD The State Mo
tor Vehicle Department is
slated to start . operations in
its new building here next

ters in present offices in the
