partment of the B. T. S. of the
Tabernacle Baptist Church Sunday

cast has been eh:sen to present

been directing the play. The plot
of the play deals with Miriam,
an outcast, who, after others
shun her, is. given joy and peace
by the birth of the Christ child.
It is a beautiful play and • pre-

CHRISTMAS CARDS J Jon Minahan; Esther, -woman at
CHRISTMAS greetings are reaching their destination j the well, Mrs. carl Owens; Rachel,
are toeing opened and read. The answer to all this, or rath
er this is the answer to the postoffice department’s ap-
peal to “speed up” the Christmas mail, post early and
similar exhortatiins to avoid coagulation of the postal
service*' -4pu«£
It is not difficult to find persons who dislike this ear
ly mailing or at least early reception of messages intend*
ed for Christmas Day or its twilight zone. To such persons
the whole business seems premature and mechanical as
so much of the observance of the holidays has unfortu-
nately become.
But both a practical and sentimental reason stand on
the other side of the issue. If everybody waited until the:
last day or two preceding Christmas to mail their cards,
it would be Washington’s birthday before the last mail
would be delivered. The American people have gone into
the exchange of Christmas/cards so extensively that even
under present conditions the postal service is about
swamped-.
And there is this additional comfort for persons who
prefer , to receive their greetings nearer the holiday that
if the Christmas spirit is the delightful thing most per-
sons admit it is then spreading it over as much of the
calendar as possible ought to be all the more delightful.
If the early mailing of cards of greeting tap the reservoir
of goodwill sooner than formerly, then the world is better
for it.
: An entire year of the ebullitions of the Christmas
spirit might pall after the first month or two, but it is
vigorous enough to endure a fortnight and if within that
period, , the world is a bit merrier, generous and consid-
erate by the early mailing of Christmas cards, there real-
ly cannot be much complaint against the practice.—Cor-
sicana Sun.

TRANSIENTS WILL BECOME VAGRANTS
AFTER January 1, transients with no means of sup-
port will become just plain vagrants. The- Texas Emer-
gency Relief Administration is laying plans to , open con-
centration camps for the restless gentry who have been
“riding the rods” and thumbing their way along the high
ways, and if the transient jobless refuse to stay in these
camps, they will be arrested as “vags” by ctiy police
throughout Texas.
During the last several years public opinion has fav-
ored this. restless movement of unemployed back and
forth across the country. Young men nad boys cuaght the
lure of the open road and the ease with which they
could get transportation attracted hordes of the foot_free
including criminals, tramps, hoboes and the sight-seers.
Railroads tolerated this violation of rules and the laws,

tha,t there is a constant flow of unemployed that presents
serious problems to local unemployment relief groups.
It is hardly possible that the opening of concentra-
tion camps will eliminate the nuisance of transient urt-
employed. Texas, with its mild winter climate, annually
attracts thousands of transients who seek to escape the
rigors of Northern winters. Some have a little money,
but;others are just plain bums, it.?is easier

who persist in staying in Texas, and it is hoped that city
police throughout the State will do their part in sending
these visiiting unemployed to the camps, where they will
be given employment, food and shelter, and will not con-
stitute a continual roving menace
