Picturesque and reflecting the ancient tradition of the Yule log of “merrie England,” the ceremony took place ‘Thursday night in the Women's Resi- dence, under auspices of Miss Mary Louise Brown, dean of women, and a student committee headed by Mary Jane Pearce, Honor Cumberland Girl. Highest honors in the election went to Pauline A. Frederick, a senior, of Cumberla: Md., who was voted the “best Joved” girl in college, and as such | was designated to bring in the old Yule log. Attired in an appropriate costume, she carried, for this first year, a piece of hollow log and a lighted candle. In future years a piece of the old Yule log will be saved and used to fire the succeeding logs. The new Yule log was brought in by four girls, who had been elected as the “best loved” members of their own classes. They were dfessed in costume and carried the Yule log to the fire- place. The processional, led by Miss Prederick, was picturesque as the group in costume lighted their own candles from the “old Yule log” and proceeded to light candles carried by other girls in the processional, which filed around the big room with its decorated Christ- mas tree. The new log was lighted and blazed merrily. The four girls elected to represent the four classes were Alice Hetzel of Cumberland, Md. senior; Kathryn Heath, Cincinnati, Ohio, jun- for; Leo Friesleben, Mountain Lakes, N. J, sophomore, and Mary Houston, Mountain Lakes, N. J., freshman. A Christmas program followed. Miss Frederick read the scriotural story of Christmas, there was a Christmas pray- er by Jane Scantlin and the party closed with a recessional. Exchange Toy Gitts.

Forty-odd years ago a Western miner climbed to the top of a shaky ladder in his cabin to read through the grime and yellow of time the printed words on a patch of newspaper that was | tacked over a stovepipe hole, A woman from the East saw him and was_curious. Why he'd been doing that climbing and reading stunt every day for so long that he almost knew that bit of former “news” by heart. He just had to do it, he told her; it was the only printed thing he had to his name, and if he didn’t read he'd go crazy. The visiting woman was impressed and today, the Christmas laden mail | bags which are bringing up at the end | of their long journeys by land. sea and air to the four corners of the earth, contain vast quantities of reading mat- ter that has been gathered together and dispatched by members of the Church Perijodical Club, an organization born of the Eastern woman's compassion for All Purchases Will Be Delivered Before Card Table 98¢ Cash and Carry Leatherette Top e w g L Priscilla Sewing Cabinet $7.98 Complete with Spool T Table $4.95 Secretaries Reduced for Xmas 5-Pc.

CONVENIENT CREDIT Up to $75.00 Easy Terms DECEMBER 22, 1929—PART O “HOLIDAYS” BY ALLAN DAVIS, Principal of Business High School. The principal sat in his office, leaning back in his easy chair, And the passerby in the hallway said, “He is weighing some prob- lem there.” “History, language and science and art; all of these things in his thought have a part.” “He's planning to organize x, v, 7, or grading his pupils by a,b,¢,” “Or wondering why teachers so few comprehend . ‘The causes, the reasons, beginning and end.” But they're wrong—as I happen to know. He is watching the coals in the wood fire's soft glow. He is viewing the pine trees half covered with snow, Or the cedars with ice needles hanging below, With a shaggy dog’s big muddy paw on his knee And the wind rustling leaves on the old white oak tree.
