SOLDIER’S CHRISTMAS
Since the first Christmas, the
central thought of the day is—
or should be — one of sacrifice
and the giving of one’s self in
service to others. This Christ-
mas—one year after the attack
on Pearl Harbor—finds millions
of men in uniform ready to make
any sacrifice even to life itself, to
protect this country from our
enemies. At such a time, those
of us who are still at home
should think of Christmas as a
. season for renewal of devotion
to home town, state and nation.
When soldiers shame us with
their sacrifice, we should seek
new ways to serve. Opportuni-
ties lie all around us for the giv-
ing of ourselves to help the war
effort and to maintain our home
institutions. In every communi-
ty there is greater need than
ever before for leadership in
civic work, for man-power to
carry on m •essary activities that
must continue in time of war and
in preparation for another time
of peace. Our pledge to our sol-
diers should be that we will keep
the home town strong and free
and loyal and sound in its eco-
nomy and its ideals against that
day when they return.
Let it not be said that we sent
our soldiers forth to preserve the
American way of life and let our
communities decay while they
were gone. We must keep faith
with them.
And so, Soldiers, we are sav-
ing your best Christmas present
until you come marching home.
While you fight for liberty thru-
out the world, we’ll try to keep
the home town safe for you. We
cannot do less.—Hubert M. Har-
rison. __
The Times editor and wife are
indebted to Mmes. Teague and

Prime Minister C^hurchill on
Sunday delivered •arr address to
the world that was comprehen-
sive and which gavd fhany peo-
ple a picture of the great war
they have been uhable lio obtain
in the United States, due to cen-
sorship. A large portion (if it was
directed to the Italian, people,
and they were urged to oust
their dictator and sue for peace,
or take a prolonged, shattering
air attack such as the world has
never before witnessed.
Postmaster Nobles is using
paid space in The Times this
week to call attention to rules
and regulations that will permit
better service to the people and
at the same time reduce the great
amount of work now necessary
for him, his assistant. and rural
carriers. Due to so piany men
being in the armed forces and
1 the approach of the holiday
>n, work for the postmaster
his helpers has increased

statement and see if there
it something you can do to
lighten their work, especi-
from now on until after
The trouble with horse-racing is
that people don’t show enough horse
sense to let it alone.
The hand that rocks the cradle
rules the world. And there are no
priorities on cradles, either.
In moving hordes of his men into
France, something tells us that Hit-
ler merely wanted an excuse to get
away from Russia.
Santa Claus showed good sense in
sticking to his sleigh. Suppose he
had gone modern and was pinned
down to four gallons.
Propaganda may go a long way
toward whipping the enemy, but it
still takes lead and steel to knock
'em cold on the battlefield.

Brother can you spare a gal-

better than to cripple farmers
who must not only feed this na-

marketing their products, so it
is expected that most of them
will be able to get necessary
gasoline, but the days of joy rid-

SIMPLE METHOD
Mrs. O’Dooley had twins. They
were very like each other; in fact, to
the casual observer they were iden-
tical.
“Faith, Mrs. O’Dooley,” said a nei-
ghbor one day, "I can’t make out
how it is you can tell them apart!”
“Sure, and it’s aisy enough,” was
the answer. “Ye see, one has got
his teeth and the other hasn’t. So
I sticks my finger into Pat’s mouth,
and if he bites I know it’s Dennis!”
PLEASE
Times subscribers are ask-
ed to notify the subscrip-
tion department promptly
of any changes in their ad-
dresses. Under the new
postal laws, newspapers
and periodicals must pay
postage due for notices of
any changes in address fur-
nished by the postoffice. In
addition, there is also the
problem of delay in deliv-
ery or failure to get the
paper. The best plan is to
send the change of address
in advance.
The man who thought ten years
ago that a twenty-billion national
debt was a bad thing can now do
some extra thinking. Washington
announced last week that the debt
has reached one hundred billion and
it is destined to reach the limit of
one hundred and twenty-five billion
ere long.
It may not be long before the
wooden nickel will be in evidence.
Having removed most of the nickel
from the five-cent piece and substi-
tuting copper, it now develops that
we need the copper, so the scientists
arc at work on plastic wood to take
the place of copper. When they
solve this problem, someone should
discover something that a nickel can
buy.
attempted to carry out some of
his fanciful ideas as such with
this result: Two-thirds of the
school children are said to be
undernourished, many babies are
going without food and hungry
peasants have been rioting in
the interior. Signs of malnutri-
tion are seen in every village,
and diseases are rampant. Eggs
sell at 15c each, and butter—
when available — is priced at
$2.50 a pound. Unemployment
is at a forty-four-year high. Con-
gressmen in Washington have
become so irked with Tugwell
that they have attached to a
$15,000,000 Puerto Rican relief
appropriation bill a rider pro-
viding that none of this money
be spent as long as Tugwell is
Governor. If this rider remains,
as seems likely, the President
will have either to veto the
whole bill—which he hardly
could afford to do—or to oust the
present Governor and name an-
other.
Mr. and Mrs. Luther Floyd and
children of Ballinger, spent the holi-
days in the home of Mrs. Floyd’s

Your Home May Be Next
Fire alarm signals naturally become more
numerous as cold weather comes on. Your
home, store or other place of business may
be next.
All fire dangers naturally increase during
the winter season and fires are more likely to
take a heavy toll of property.
