Holiday advice beware of the

Buy it in Lancaster from those
merchants who advertise in The
News.
What has become of that youngster
who once asserted so boldly that lie
did not believe in Santa Claus?
May this Christmas surprise of
twenty-eight pages afford you as
much pleasure in the reading as it
has us in the preparation.
Let's have "peace, good will to
men" in South Carolina, instead of
a reign of terror caused by the everready
pistol in the nands of the imbiber
of Christmas spirts. .
Pew of us care to risk our health
nursing tuberculosis patients but
each little Red Cross Seal we buy
helps to pay for trained attention at
the bedside of such sufferers.
In Anderson they have sold out
the entire allotment of Red Cross
Seals and have had to order a new
supply. Are the people of Anderson
more charitable than we or are they
just more thoughtful?
An appropriate present for Lancaster
would be that long-wished-for
chamber of commerce. No other remembrance
would be quite so helpful.
Please, Santa Claus, bring this good
gift to us who so sorely need it.
Yes, Santa Claus reads The News,
little boys and girls, and has prom
isea 10 reiuemner you ui t nrisimas.
Wo hope lit- will bring everything for
which you have asked him. but however
this may be, we feel sure he will
bring you something.
Here's hoping that Santa Claus
will bring those children who believe
in him everything their hearts desire.
Hut may those who openly or
secretly deny his existence find their
stockings filled with ashes and
switches Christmas morning.
Several of our friends have taken
extra subscriptions and are sending
The News as Christmas presents to
distant relatives. This suggestion
may help you complete your Christmas
list and will also keep the ones
who receive The News in touch with
the folks at home.
MKKItY CHRISTMAS.
The old wish is still the best. No
other sentiment has been proposed
which we like so well as the glad,
good words. Merry Christmas.
A merry Christmas, then, to all
our readers. The Christmas season
should bring joy to every heart and
it does when we rightly observe it.
Christmas must be merry if we will
it so. Let's all be lavish in our use
of the outward symbols of Christmas,
wreathing our homes in holly,
pine and mistletoe, giving gifts to
our friends and to the needy, speaking
words of good cheer to those we
meet. But above all let's have
Christmas in our hearts. The Christmas
thought is that which makes us
kind and tender, the Christmas
spirit that high, ennobling thing that
lifts us out of ourselves, the Christmas
vision that broad view enabling
men to see far out beyond the narrow
confines of their petty lives. We
want the people of Lancaster to get
every gift worth having, gifts temporal,
as well as the gifts of the
spirit. And let us all be glad and
happy. Merry Christmas to you all
?both young and old.
