The True Spirit Of UhriHtiiiu* Is Unchanged
Like life itself, the conditions at Christmas time
are as changeable as the fleeting colors of a spectrum,
but not always so beautiful.
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

days with their daughter and son-
.
At the regular executive board
meeting, which Is called for the sec
ond Monday evening of each month
by Homer Anderson, president of
the Malheur County Tuberculosis
and Health association. Oene Clark
of Vale, a vice president of the
association, proposed an extended
organization to meet emergencies not
existing at the time of the reorgan
ization of the association In Sep
tember, 1947. These emergencies are
created by the present threat of
war and needs of the present limit- j
ed staff of the Malheur county pub

in their appeals to create within 1
the county an awareness of local
needs.
“ The Malheur County Tubercu
losis and Health association is es
sentially a volunteer group of people
whose main object is education in
health,“ Clark said. “ We are hear
ing through the press and radio of
all the advised immunizations for
smallpox, typhoid fever and other
diseases for the entire population.
The Malheur county public health
department recognizes the total In
adequacy of the existent staff and
has called on us for assistance.

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” .
