MAMMMlove and devotion hy accepting His laws and obeying His command-ments.

Let Ut Join TogetherNow, especially we should join hands and hearts to stand off the

conflict of mankind. We should make use of these precious giftsfrom abovr.. not only in return for the gifts we have received fromHim but to fortify our lives against the enemy by making use oftheae gifts, by protecting our health, by strengthening our countryby uniting our love for one another so thrft neither war nor demonsof war will ever be able to penetrate the shores of our country, orinvade the sacred portals of our homes, or corrupt the morals of ourdear «nes.

The entire world now at war can only return to peace and unityby all men realising that this peace and unity can be found andhad by returning to God. Men have put Gnri out of their hearts andreplaced it with hatred and desire for revenge. For men to regainthis peace they only have to bring before their minds tho mentalpicture of the Christmas Crib. The devotional representation we call1. Christmas Crib takes its numo from the manger or crib In which theBlessed Mother placed the Infant Jesus soon after His birth. Accord-

ing to the best authorities the crib of Our Lord was not a woodenfeed-box raised on legs of wood hut a manger hollowed out of theliving stone in one aide of the cave of Bethlehem. That Jeaut was

writers about the year 150 A. D. This has been a constant traditionof the church. This Christmas Crib may be found in nearly everyCatholic church.

The significance of the crib has reached every corner of theworld. There is no other -rteanj of teaching the story <d the Birthof Christ and depleting the picture of peace and unity more effective-ly. May, then, this crib that carried such a story be plftetd M o r eman on this Christmas Day of the year 1941 so he wilt forget thehate for his fellow-man and regain for the world peace and unity Withhis God, the Prince of all peace, the Saviour of all tnankhld.

In a word, may the Giver of all good grits so let til he, thatcountry, home and people be forever the true — the safe and God-fearing people of the land of peace and happiness. Then we can Baywith one accord, "A Merry Christmas e!nd a Happy New Year, thegift of God and Man."

Giants ToufilmMel Ott's gang of "rejuvenated Giants" will no

doubt pack a harder wallop than last year's Terry-men, but It's still hard to predict just how strong the'42 Giants will be. With Johnny Mize in the lineup,New York hitting will be of n heavier calibre thanit has been in the past, but .still far from the best inthe league.

And aa for the pitching situation of the Giants,it will take vast improvement and additions to workit into a top-flight mound staff. King Carl is finished—as far as a consistent winner is concerned. There,the Giants lose one of their old-time greats, for Hub-bell in his day wna unquestionably the king of themall.

The Giants have no "Wyatt and Hi&be", norany "White and Cooper." They must match com-binations like these before they will be among theleading contenders. At present, Cincinnati, St. Louisand Brooklyn are certain to boast stronger moundstaffs than the Giants can possibly assemble, unlessOtt pulls another deal — this time "for a winningpitcher.

Of course there is the slight possibility that oneof the "big three" staffs will collapse or that the Gianttwirlers will suddenly find themselves. But over theentire distance, records show that Brooklyn, Cincin-nati and St. Louis should be better.

Rickey's PolicyAs for the Cardinals, Branch Rickey appears to

be taking -in the money out of season, just aa he didduring the season. But his trading of Padgett andMize have raised questions as to St. Louis' poUey inthe minds of many ardent fans. They ask why hesold two powerhouses such as the two stars mentionedabove, without receiving anyone of similar ability Trfreturn for them.

There is a very filmsy argument on Rickey's side,

More-over real Christians will find opportunitiesto give e x p r e s s to the beat teachings ofthe founder of their faith by exhibitinga spirit of tolerance, baaed upon an abidinglove of and for mankind.

Before concluding this discussion of th«Christmas season, one's thoughts inevitablyturn to the song of '"Peace on Earth'1 asso-ciated with the angels, of long ago. Thatthe world is far from a realization of thishappy augury muat be admitted but thata spirit of peace ia the ultimate aim of ourgreat nation in ita war against internation-al gangsters is an omen of hope to whichthe eyea of men and women all over theworld can turn with faith.

Swindling Ambitions AuthorsNearly everybody that we have met, in

the course of our limited rambles, has beenbitten, to some degree or other, by theauthorbug.

The citizens of the republic have a yento write.and an itch to put thought intowords, with the modest hope that by de-veloping a best seller their fortunes can bemade.

Back of this national mania is a dis-reputable fraud, practiced upon buddingauthors by so-called publishing houseswhich mulct" the unexperienced of muchhard-earned cash. Every now and then theFederal government prosecutes over-zeal-ous promoters on the charge of swindling.

In New York recently a so-called pub-lisher was tried. Witnesses testified thathe pretended to publish their writings pro-vided the author put up part of the ex-pense. In one case, an Illinois author paid$429, believing it to be half of the cost ofprinting his thirty-two pages of literature.Actually, according to government audit,the totaljixpense was only $67.95.

Consequently, we warn "Budding au-thors in Middlesex County to beware of so-called publishing houses. It is bad enoughto be an author; it's worse to have no busi-ness brains!

First Heatiy Tank•At last the United States has produced

a heavy tank. In fact, a 60-ton land battle-ship was tested on Monday of last week.Previous to the production qf thfc, .tftnk^U. S. production lines were turning outonly small (13-tons) and medium (30-tons) tanks. Production^of the new heavytank will begin quantity production inabout three or four months.

The test of this monster tank was veryimpressive. It climbed a 30-degree inclinewithout any apparent loss of speed; it with-stood land mines, a collision with an armor-ed car, and leveled off three sets of heavypilings.

This big tank is faster than the smallertanks and is very streamline. The fact thatthis 60-ton job is welded together gives itadditional resistance qualities. Anotherfeature is that the wheels and caterpillartread are shielded by a protective steelBkirt.

Congratulations to the Baldwin Locomo-tive Works for their presentation of thistank to the Army of ,the United States.

Over 600,000 persons occupymental hospital beds today — asmany as are hospitalized for allother diseases together. Annuallyabout 120,000 new cases are ad-mitted. So states an article con-densed from Survey Graphic bythe Reader's Digeit, which chargesthat "the national average ofovercrowding in state hospitalsis 11 percent; in some states ashijrh as 50 percent." '

At the mercy of indifferent anduninformed legislators, too manyof our state hospitals fail to effectthe percentage of cures that wouldbe possible if modern skills and thenew therapies that have wroughspectacular cures were applied, theauthor of the article claims. "Toutilize modern methods wouldmean abolishing political jobs, Te-

"This is just what I want. I know this will bemy lucky piece,"

The pin she has chosen is a lustrous green jade,star.

Can this be only coincidence? For the pin shehas chosen to bring her a successful career on thestape had belonged to an actress who had risen tothe very pinnacle of fame and from whose verydizzy and rarirled heights she had fallen at last intoa tiny furnished room and suicide.
