Despite the irresponsible, inefficient and careless leadership that oftentimes gains places of importance in the world, and the depressing social and economic con ditions that cause misery and heartache, the true spirit of Christmas has remained unchanged and unchallenged. With the world half in war and half in peace, it is experiencing the first conditions of this kind in the his tory of the world. Men for the first time are waging “ cold” war while at the same time waging “hot” war without the formality of a declaration of war, but like men of many ages they are engaging in the worst kind of aggression. Each Christmas is different except for the thread of truth that seems to prevent civilization from going completely berserk. Faced with the prospect of 1951 shortages, the A- merican people are probably enjoying their best select ion of merchandise they w ill have in several years. The government will convert millions of tons of metals, textiles and other products to the rearmament program, causing a reduction in materials available to civilians. So again, we find change at Christmas-time. During the few years since the end of world war II, American industry has developed new products that have changed the outward appearance of the Christ mas celebration, but again the true spirit of Christmas remains unchanged. People are still giving to the poor, they are sacrificing to exemplify the spirit of the wise men who gave their mites to the Christ Child and they are contributing to the improvement of' the public health. The apparent hopelessness of the struggle to elim inate war from our civilization at times seems heart breaking, but experience indicates that the true spirit of Christmas will probably linger in the hearts of men as long as there is a vestige of human life on earth. How men can learn so much and love so little is one of the ironies of our modern civilization. Leave On Trip— Mr. and Mrs David Beers left Thursday for Vancouver, Washing- ton, where they will spend the holi- days with their daughter and son- .

T. A. (Continued from Page 1) She told of various physical defects that affect reading. IQ ’s have no relations to ability to read. Poor reading does not mean a pupil has low mentality. All children do not read at the same age. They should not be forced to read before they are ready. “ In the emotional field, the best thing you can give a child is a happy contented home. Each should be given tasks to do. Play teaches us to talk; teaches us to plan; teach es us to work together. Experiencing the satisfaction of success is import ant. Children need to be praised and need to stay with a job until It Is finished. A child who reads well is usually well balanced em otionally. "Socially, a child should enjoy a wealth of experience with people. Children should have pets. They then enjoy stories about animals more. If a child is taught to love the outdoors, he is helped in his reading because so many of our stor ies have outdoor settings” . J. L. Herriman talked on a plan for civil defense in Nyssa.
