Christmas. SANTA CLAUS—A RIGHT GUY That chap Santa Claus is a great fellow. Ageless, depthless, always happy, he goes on year after year spreading the good will and joyfulness of the Christ- mas season. There is a time in life when we believe in him ex- plicitly. There comes a later little skeptical. Then there is the terrible day when an illusion is demolished and Santa Claus turns out time when we are a to be not at all what we suspected. But we get over that cherished but shattered belief and as we grow older Santa Claus comes to mean a great deal more than he did in the tender days of our youth. We get to understand him as sort of a right guy. We learn he is a chap to tie to; the one grand old fallacy fellow worth nourishing and en- cowraging down through the years, because he’s got something that none of the rest of us can keep alive dl‘ll_v in this workaday world—the true Christian spirit which is always working for the other fellow’s happi- ness. Many of us may aim in that direction but only Santa Claus can exemplify it perfectly. A great fellow to go along with is this chap Santa Claus. His example should live with us the year around, but, at any rate, we can give him a lot of sapport by being one of his disciples at this season of the year. ‘fonight is the night that he rides the skies. It's along trek and we got to be around there helping him out. He's got all the addresses, but for some of them he is depending on us to make delivery. Will we be there? You bet, we will if we have an iota of the sen- timent that old Santa carries around in his breast Let's get going Santa Clauses.

The manufacturers’ | expressed or implied, of several Rooseveltian policies. It expresses such criticism with a restraint and reason- |ableness which accurately reflects the sensible philoso- ph essed earlier in the week in Lammot du Pont’s |ad to the convention: “What has been done, |wisely or unwisely, is behind us; leave it there. This |is no time for post-mortems.” 8o the association sensibly refrains from indulging in what Joseph P. Kennedy recently called “belly- laching.” It lpoks ahead, not backward. We believe |such an attitude reflects not only the judgment of | the leaders of American business, but of the vast ma- |jority of ordinary folk who, as producers and con- |sumers, really make the wheels of industry go round This does not mean, of course, that everyone will [necessarily indorse all the proposals in the manufac- |turers' program. Specifically, there is room for wide |differences of opinion as to when governmental regu- |lation becomes “excessive.” In asking for relaxation |of such regulation it is important to remember that generally speaking, such controls have been imposed to cope with serious abuses. Sometimes they may |have provided a mistaken or an inadequate remedy. |But to sweep away all control might well bring back evils which would far offset any immediate gains [ In short, social progress cannot be reversed any more than can the scientific and mechanical advance- ment of industry itself. It is no more possible for |the social structure of an advancing nation to be geared down to the economic philosophy of a century or more ago, than it is for today’s shops successfully to operate with engines which were adequate in the days of Watt or Corl Too often the demand of |“back to the good old da y s a harvest of chaos. It is encouraging, therefore, to find the manufac- turers’ association laying its sights on the future, rather than the past, though mindful that “industry is building today on the sound foundations of past experience.” But, more important, “it is opening up new worlds through research and invention. There are no limits to this progress. Industry does not be- lieve that we have passed the last economic frontier.” Neither, of course, has this nation passed its last social frontier. Enlightened leadership, in business as in government, will recognize the urgent necessity of keeping social advance and economic progress in an effective and mutually beneficial partnership. The National Assoriation of Manufacturers, it seems to us, has made an important contribution toward safeguarding such teamwork.

BIRTHDAY | Horoscope “The stars incline but do not compel” SATURDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1937 Astrologers read this as a really fortunate day, for the stars smile upon reunions and festivities, al- though certain aspects are active. Under this planetary government members of families may be critical of one another and there may be an inclination to value gifts ac- cording to their cost. There is a sign supposed to be omened for the exchange of Christ- mas goods or other perfunctory greetings. The spiritual significance of the day should be strongly stress- |ed, | For many, portents of war may be most depressing. The precept ‘Peace on Earth, good will to men” Ishould be practiced as never be- !fore. ! Pprices for food and the general 'high cost of living should be for- |gotten. Optimism and happiness |will be assured only through right | thinking. Religious observances today should |crowds. Churches should benefit through gifts for their upkeep as well as aid for their charities. Evening entertainments should be \marked by good fellowship which ‘;mrnes with it promise of future achievement. i There is a fortunate aspect for those who wear new garments and especially for women who appear in simple costumes that combine artistry with economy.

It is a date most for- tunate for women. The clergy are under a fortunate rule of the stars, but there may be many distracting interests among petsons in their congregations. Wo- men especially may be preoccupied. The planetary government favors personal affairs. Love and friend- ship will absorb attention and di- vert attention from sermons. Under this sway a sense of lone- liness may depress many city dwel-| lers in the evening. Covetousnes: and envy are human traits that should be strongly fought, and stub- bornly resisted.
