The whole city expressed a deep 2 of loss Saturday afternoon when news of the death of commissioner Braxton B. Warren was published in The Citizen. “Brack” goes to his reward with a brilliant ecord of public service fulfilled. The commission will miss him—deeply. In refusing to act on the question of voting for or against the carnival to be stage! by the Volunteer Fire Department nex: month, the council they are powerless to stop it—even with a ive vote. Many citizens were curious, however., as to why the question came up at all. It appears that council disinterest, and probable majority opinion against it, reflects the thoughts of a majority of resi- dents. ne And so, to pres: More comments later as more news bring other sidelight | opportunities, IS A YEAR IN JAIL LONG ENOUGH? Eight young divinity students, in the city of New York, who refused to register under the Selective Service Act, have been sentenced to serve a yearin prisqn for their failure to comply with the law. The youngsters consider themselves martyrs. They eagerly sought the prison term, even objecting to the obvious desire of the prosecution that they comply with the registration provision and then make | claims for exemption to which, as divinity students, they law. No sympathy should be wasted upon these men. If they are conscientious ob- jectors, the law gives them the opportunity of avoiding service honorably. All of them, as a matter of fact, were exempt from military service because when the law was passed they were divinity students. If these students set themselves above all law, in the land where they enjoy ex- traordinary ireedom, they should be taught the lesson that they need. A year in prison seems to be leniency; it may take them longer thar a year to learn. “$ TO 20 PER CENT PROFIT” Readevs of The Citizen mey be in- terested in a plan to make from o to 20 per cent profit. Of course, there have been similar plans that have resulted in riches for pro- moters and losses for investors but the pub- lic is slow to learn.

The gift merchant has assem- ibled a stack of presents for vet-' eran soldiers as well as draftees in Uncle Sam’s army. They can be divided simply into three piles, labelled “feed him,“ “clothe him,”-“amuse him.” I scoured the market for !Christmas gifts “for soldiers and then discussed the findings with some ex-soldiers. Here is a list of suggestions seasoned with their counsel: If the soldier in your life has clothes on his mind, consider a khaki cashmere scarf that is light of weight but warm. (Choose one that is long and narrow instead of square so that it won't make a hump at the back of his neck.) Or remember him with khaki socks (thick enough to cushion his feet against heavy army boots and long enough to keep his legs warm.) Gloves might please him, too, if you get them of cork-colored pigskin which takes hard wear, doesn’t soil readily ahd stands repeated washing. (Get a slip- on, so there wil be no buttons to tear off. But don’t buy gloves with the smart walled side; army men say they’re not neat enough to pair with the uniform’s trim lines.)

DOLL STILL REIGNS AS QUEEN OF OLD SANTA’S TOY SACK (Associated Preas Feature Service) The doll is doing her dance again as queen of Santa's sack. War and clever new toys have failed to eclipse the star of Amer- ican children’s Christmas cele- bration. Last year more than $40,000,000 was spent for some 15,000,000 dolls in this country. The toy trad® doesn’t worry about age-limits of those who show affection for dolls. A four- month-old baby pays attention to a rag-doll. And a very grown- tup lady sometimes puts in a re- ‘quest for a costume or character . But the trade has to be alert ito preferences. Neither mothers nor strong promotion schemes can win the will of a girl says, “But I want a baby doll”. The 1940 preferences are for dolis that look like real babies, feel like real. babies and have clothes similar to those little brother wears. “magic skin” who The newest are dolis made of a new plastic form- ulz that allows them to be bath- ed, dolls with magnetic hands jand dolls sprayed with a_ safe) and washable substance to make them glow in the dark.
