Christmas comes, that makes it I Offices exist long after their

thoughts are naturally turned
toward good will and good
cheer. We remember that “it
is more blessed to give than to
receive,” and we find happiness
in making others happy. It is
the natural thing to do at
Christmas.
But how will you feel next
July? Will you still have some
of that holiday spirit when it’s

At the risk of being calleu

30 years, is not contributing

^he Christmas holidays, Dec. 28,
as observed in a fitting way,
and every student, from pri-

feel the peculiar significance
of the Christmas time.

Actually the mere season of
the year shouldn’t make any
difference. So let us resolve
right now not to let the Christ-
mas spirit die on the 26th of
December. Let us carry it right
on through the spring, summer,
and fall, and have it still with
us when the holidays come
again next year.

Yesterday, we were driving
iown the street when suddenly
we thought of the Texas consti-
tution and got mad. What a
mess that thing is!
hue idea of states rights- has
laziness, puts a premium on
the inability of one to provide
for his own'needs, and actually
encourages lack of initiative, it
seems to usj^hat all this busi-
ness of the ^jovernment taking
care of us from the cradle to
the grave takes from those who
benefit from it a sence of re-
sponsibility not only to them-
selves, their families, their state
and nation but even to God
Himself. A lack of a sense of
responsibility naturally is fol-
lowed by a breakdown in moral
standards and conduct.

The governor and other ex-

Mrs. Sol Branscum is reported
to have driven up to their home
in South Hamlin, staggered out
of her car and into the arms
of her husband, gasping.
“Wow! It is hot! I thought
I’d pass out.”
And Sol said: “But why did-

car while you were driving?”
"Oh, no:” she exclaimed, “I
