WHAT PRICE CHRISTMAS? Christmas in 1934 . . . Is it a commercial venture, perhaps, something finer? A modern Christmas-time does not pass these vears without considerable talk being made of the too commercial” aspect of the season. The thought »ften has been expressed that the glory of Christ's birth is not so much a religious festival as it is a iownright dollar and cents proposition. Such actual phrases as “Christ Died for the Chamber of Com- merce,” or “profit taking season,” or even “the time when a large portion of the people will get drunker than they have at any time during the year” are heard. Now, is Christmas a “profit taking season?” To e sure, financial indexes always show a rise at Christmas time. But, is this an un-Christian ges- ure? Is the world, with its civilization drifting more and more toward buying and selling and arther and farther away from personal manufacture and existence, any the less “Christmas spirited? A person chooses to buy Christmas gifts. Does that mean there is a less genuine feeling of giving? And commercially speaking, is not this Christmas buying splurge a good thing? For every purchase nade, another person has been put to work and taken from the unemployed rolls just that much longer. After all, is not that exactly what our yresent Administration is attempting to do? But this is all very trivial when the true aspect of Christmas is considered. SATURDAY SPECIALS!

This world is far from the place Christ desired it to be. Somehow, those impossible conditions seem to place a different meaning on Christmas—perhaps, the true sense of the day. Chr: 1as must ke the time when courageous and honest men and women give pause for reflection, take stock of themselves and their conditions and then face upward and ever onward. To do other- wise, is an admittance of weakness and failure. Christian people, in the past, have found in this time of the year a chance to make many valuations 1934, then, to be time for men to bitterly shake their heads and mumble on commer- cialism and the woe that besets them? Or is it, rather, a chance to square about and honestly face the issue with a determination that, SHALL be “Peace on earth” ... ? someday, th The Country Doctor. (New York World-Telegram.) In the hearts of thousands of city folk there is a tender $pot for some particular old-fashioned country doctor—philosopher and friend to a community back in the hinterland whence they came—of whom Dr. Alan Roy Dafoe is the perfect counterpart. For years he has been building up that char- acter and competence which enabled him to preserve the lives of the famous Dionne quintuplets. It was the merest chance which brought the challenge to him and thrust him into fame. But he was |ready. From Toronto has come to us a story about Dr. Dafoe which is not without - its, revealing charm. A man there went into his tailor’s shop. “You'll be interested in this,” said the tailor, proudly show- ing a letter. It was from Dr. Dafoe, about two weeks ago, asking to rent a dress suit for formal occasions on his' present trip. To many a city physician evening dress is as important as a stethoscope. Fancy clothes, fancy technique, fancy hospitals are not in Dr. Dafoe's line. He works catch-as-catch-can style, subject to challenge from all comers. He is a specialist in any kind of ailment, from tip to toe, inside and out. Certainly no one could have done better with the quintuplets, if we may take them as a sample Such men, scattered over the land, are those who made the medical profession glamorous and a symbol of the good life to many of us. 1In paying affection- ate notice to Dr. Dafoe New York is expressing more than mere curiosity toward the deliverer ol wonderful babies—it is offering a bouquet to the beloved old-fashioned general practitioner of its youthful memories.
