Though they were not all made in connection with “giving” at Christmas time, | the verses below (all taken from the Bible) provide definite clues to the origin of the many more modern “give” slogans so often heard in the holiday sea- son. ) Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken to- gether, and running over, shall men give into your bos- om. For with the same meas- ure that ye mete withal it shall be again. measured to you —Luke 6:38. ik .

H.—This peace- ful little “Christmas town’ nestled in the New Hampshire hills bears @ striking resemblance to the Holy Village for which it was named. Its location is similar to that of Bethle- tem in Judea, and, strangely enough it is a village of inns and Jewish people, just like the real Bethlehem in the beautiful story of the Christ Child. This similarity ex- ists, however, only in summer when 32 magnificent hotels, taverns and inns, nine of which observe the Jew- ish dietary laws, are hosts to those who come, year after year, to enjoy the beauty of green fields and purple mountains. At Christmastide the population is less than a thousand souls and most of them are natives whose hardy ancestors built their log cabins along Bethlehem streets where the palatial hotels now stand. i | —_—— ‘Men in Army, Navy _ | Await Yule Season | | For men in the army and navy the e e Best wishes for the holiday season and a sincere wish that you many men to visit their homes while | i ; . : - & and yours will continue throughout the coming year to enjoy excellent health. active field training is suspended.
