All this was a protest against, not the birth-day of the King but { the manner in which it had been cel- ebrated. During Cromwell's rule in England | Christmas festivities were outlawed. The Puritan conscience preferred to ignore the day rather than to permit its association with frivolity or posi- | tive abuse. However, with the restor- | ation of Charles II yule-tide celebra- | tions were revived with great enthus- | iasm. i When the Puritans came to Amer- | ica they planned to keep away from all such worldliness and forthwith set | apart a day in advance of the Christ- | mas scason and called it Thanksgiv- ing Day. Today, however, the American peo- | ple observe both holidays with equal vest and find in the celebration of PASSO TTR ‘| Today in Congress | —<$<$<<$<$_—__-~ She's 73, and air-minded—and so Senora Alberta Portes Gil, mother of the| Meetings were held and 5,000 pounds president of Mexico, does her visiting by airplane.

How much of a purely secu- lar nature may be added? Shall we | have a Christmas tree, a Santa Claus, etc, Some regard these as imposi- tions upon childhood since sooner or later little folks learn that toys and candies do not “grow” on Christmas trees, and that Santa Claus does not live at the North Pole. But who of us older people has not enjoyed the delusion without resul- tant harm? Child-hood delights in the land of make-believe. Talking animals and dancing fairies are al- ways @ source of great pleasure not to be denied the little folks. After the Great Lesson of the day has been taught it would seem that the introduction of Santa Claus and the Christmas tree might not be amiss; also any other innocent amuse- ment that adds joy to the occasion. | And, by the way, should any one be in need of real string of old-time sleigh-belis with which to announce the arrival of Sant reindeer, call 662.
