6th War Loan Over-
Subscribed $118,700
In Carson County
Every school district in Carson
County went over its quota in the
(5th War Loan, according to word
received from J. C. MjcCollough,
county chairman. Sales totaled
548,700, exceeding the county quo-
ta of $430,00 iby $118,700. The E
Series quota of $140,000 went over
the top.
White Deer school District sold
$143,000, exceeding its quota of j
$125,000 by $18,000. I
The pedple in all parts of the
county responded liberally, accord-
ing1 to the county chairman.
No pressure was put on anyone,
and most everyone went to the
banks and postoffiees and bought
-bonds of their own accord.
This will make a happy Chris-
mas message to our men fighting
our battles on the fronts and con-
sidering the reverses suffered on
the western front the last few
days even more money will be
needed.
All E, F, and G Bonds sold this
month will count on our quota.
No better or more appreciated
Christmas gift c-ould be given.

ting that we see this story of
Wilson and from his example pre-
vent ANOTHER recurrence where
by we again send our men and
women to war, incur another and
greater debt and lay the founda-
tion for Word War Number III.

Keeping Spirit
Of Christmas
<$><$><§>
HENRY VAN DYKE
(From “The Spirit of Christmas”)
Christmas Poem
—<s>—
The time draws near the birth of
Christ:
The moon is hid; the night is
still;
The Christmas bells from hill
to hill
Answer each other in the mist.
Four voices of four hamlets
round,
From far and near, on mead
and moor,
Swell out and fail, as if a door
Were shut between me and the
sound.
Each voice four changes on the
wind,
That now dilate, and now de-
crease,
Peace and good-will, good-will
and peace,
Peace and good-will, to all man-
kind.
—Tennyson.

CHRISTMAS PROGRAM
Unusual lighting effects, beauti-
ful stage settings, elaborate cos-
tumes, and excellent music made
the Christmas program, “And So
They Came to Bethlehem,” pre-
sented Monday evening by the
Grade and High schools, one of
the most impressive productions
ever seen in our city.
As Gne Roy Powers read the
story of the birth of Christ, be-
ginning with the prophecy of Isa-
iah, the Grade school pupils set
the patomime, and the High school
chorus, accompanied by Phyllis
Shuman, furnished the background
music.
ysene Cox portrayed the Angel;
Mary Lou Skaggs, Mary; Billy
Phillips, Joseph; Tom Horn, Her-
od; and Jackie Awtrey, the Inn-
keeper.
The scenes included the proph-
ecy, the Annunciation, the End of

AMERICAN RED CROSS
GOAL FOR MARCH DRIVE
SET AT 180 MILLION
It is a good thing to observe
Christmas day. The mere marking
of times and seasons, when men
agree to stop work and make merry
together, is a wise and wholesome
custom. It helps one to feel the su-
premacy of the common life over the
individual life. It reminds a man
to set his own little watch, now and
then, by the great clock of humanity
which runs on sun time.
But there is a better thing than
the observance of Christmas day,
and that is, keeping Christmas.
Are you willing to forget what
you have done for other people, and
to remember what other people have
done for you; to ignore what the
world owes you, and to think what
you owe the world; to put your rights
in the background, and your duties
in the middle distance, and your
chances to do a little more than your
duty in the foreground; to see that
your fellowmen are just as real as
you are, and to try to look behind
their faces to their hearts, hungry
for joy; to own that probably the
| only good reason for your existence
is not what you are going to get out
of life, but what you are going to
give to life; to close your book of
complaints against the management
of the universe, and look around you
for a place where you can sow a
few seeds of happiness—are you will-
ing to do these things even for a
day? Then you can keep Christmas.
Are you willing to stoop down and
consider the needs and the desires of
little children; to remember the
weakness and loneliness of people
who are growing old; to stop asking
how much your friends love you,
and ask yourself whether you love
them enough; to bear in mind the
things that ‘ other people have to
bear in their hearts; to try to un-
derstand what those who live in the
same house with you really want,
without waiting for them to tell you;
to trim your lamp so that it will
give more light and less smoke, and
to carry it in front so that your
shadow will fall behind you; to make
a grave for your ugly thoughts and
a garden for your kindly feelings,
with the gate open—are you willing
to do these things even for a day?.
Then you can keep Christmas.
Are you willing to believe that
love is the strongest thing in the
world—stronger than hate, stronger
. than evil, stronger than death—and
j that the blessed life which began in
| Bethlehem 1900 years ago is the im-
! age and brightness of the Eternal
| Love? Then you can keep Christ-
’ mas.
And if you keep it for a day, why
not always?
But you can never keep it alone.

American Red Cross operations
at home and abroad will reach
their wartime peak in 1945, Mr.
Basil O’Connor, chairman of the
American Red Cross, said in an-
nouncing that minimum goal for
the Red Cross |W|ar Fund to be
raised in March 1945 has been
fixed at $180,000,000.
The central eommitee set the
goal following review of budget
estimates for American Red Cross
work in the United States and. ov-
erseas for the year beginning in
March. He added that Calby M.
Chester, chairman of the executive
committee of General Foods Corp-
oration, will be chairman of the
1945 campaign.
“Our new budget,” Mr. O’Con-
ner said, “represent an appreci-’
a[ble increase in the services we
will render in Europe, in the Pa-
cific, and j&t home but we have
ben a|ble to keep the total goal
slightly under the one for 1944 be-
came of oversubscription of our
earlier campaigns and certain eco-
nomies in this year’s operations.
“After personally inspecting
our operations in England and on
the continent, and after conferring
with General Eisenhower, Bradley,
Patton and Clark, I foresee an in-
crease rather than decrease in the

ting is over. Likewise it is obvious
that the American Red Cross must
expend its Pacific and far Eastern
operations during the coming year.
“It is our intention that Red
Cross stay with our troops until
all of them are returned home and
continue to serve them through
their adjustment back to civilian
life. For this reason we must ask
the American public to consider
our goal of $180,000,000 as an ab-
solute minimum.

Brawn Takes Place of
Boar’s Head on Noel
Brawn has largely been substitut-
ed for the boar’s head for the Christ-
mas and New Year’s celebrations.
For this dish the pig’s head is
soaked in salt water all night,
scraped, cleaned and the brain and
eyes removed.
It is boiled until tender enough
to remove the bones. The meat Is
picked from the bones, chopped fine,
seasoned with red and black pepper,
cloves, mace, nutmeg and salt. It
is then pressed into a brick or loaf
form and served cold.
The custom is believed to have
originated with the ancient Romans.-
