Many of the rooms are being dec-
orated for the Christmas season,
Beverly King took it upon her-
self to bring a small Christmas
tree to school for Mr. Davidson's
room.
She put angel hair on the tree
and cotton around the bottom of
it with a little mirror as a lake
md a wax deer standing by it,
Verna Bell Botts decorated the
blackboard in his room.
• On Miss Litven's desk are two
wax deer standing in fir twigs
which help to make her desk at-
tractive. She also has Christmas
'cards and pictures on the wall,
This type of decorating is being
done in several of the other rooms

Some four years ago WAR en-
tered into the life of every man,
woman and child in these United
States. This war called into ser-
vice all people of ur country in
some form of sacrllice.
The cream of our young men
and boys were called for the su-
preme sacrifice if needed and
these men and boys did not ques-
tion why and wherefor they
crawled into trucks, hitch-hiked
on the higlways and used any
means available to report for
duty.
THEY KNEW they were not all
coming back alive, they knew
many of them would be brought
back in boxes, still they did not
question the need for sacrifice of
their lives,
They were told by radio, news-
paper and every means of com-
munication that the people of this
country depended upon them to
keep our American way of life
intact.
Industry, civic, fraternal and
service organizations, business and
pleasure alike were very out-
spoken in promising their eternal
gratitude if only they could be
allowed to carry on as they had
no charge•

0nly think back to the gloomy,
cold austerity of last Christmas
vhere one invited one's friends
and shared the few "things while
itting at a fireless hearth, lis-
tening to shivering children out-
side on the streets singing their
Christmas carols.
That way I am thinking of the
millions back in the old countries,
,hoping that soon they will be able
to enjoy such life as you people
have here so that the meaning of
Christmas may at last be realized,
and to the earth be peace and
