The calm reflection, getnle de meanor, and air of reverence that marks Christmas is largely gone. I have torn the last page off of that old calendar and htrown the whole thing in the trash can. And I’ve hung a new one up that still has the curl in-itr. — r-rrr r: ~ ~;-^rrrrr-rrr •—rr-— Yes, a whole new year is bundled up. in that calendar. And I am just now starting into its first day. Its pages lire all clean and utilised, ex cept for some engagements I’ve marked , on ’em. Opportunity hangs there in that calendar, and the joys and sorrows that the year will bring. Yes, the magic of Christmas is lately - gone. dynamic feeling in the air. A feeling of plans being made and of vigor for their execution. From the easy days and ideals of Christmas we have now passed to the rugged real ity of a new year. There it lies out there, cold and still in the death of winter. The earth is at rest now. But soon it will start awakening, and we must be ready. For spring will start about the time we are finishing the third page on that calendar up there. And, as time flies, that won’t be long at all. Then we will be again planting our hopes in the soil, as men have done before. And folks will work, and toil, and pray to the Lord of the harvest that He smile upon the land that plenty might again bless the earth. Summer will come with sunshine Boys Are Thai Way Our great Christmas season end ed with New Year’s Day. | After a week of good living and and flowers.

Christmas Will come and go. And then I’ll be right back at this spot again, New Year’s Day!— So, around and ’round the seasons go, using up our calendar*. Each time we have just one less to go. And they don’t seem to last as long as they used to. Turkoy* Turkeys are fast growing into a major crop in many counties here. Modern streamlined methods are turning them out in mass produc tion. It hasn’t been long ago that the average flock of turkeys raised on a farm was something like 12 to 15. That was back in the old grasshopper turkey days. They roamed the range and picked up most of what they got. But now the average farm growing turkeys usually makes it a specialty and grows ’em by the hundreds and perhaps more often by the thousands. A good many of our folkshave made money on turkeys. But some have lost. There are some require ments as to housing, feeding, sani tation, etc., that must be met, or some secret about how much pow der he used, how hard • he packed it and, the wadding used, or just ded them.down. -And he wouldn’t let you see him load his gun eith er. It was the same with those who- had. th*> new breech-loaders that used shells. They loaded tKeir own shells, and used them over and over. The chances for a shot for a tur key cost 10 cents each.

The fellow who put a shot nearest where the those two lines crossed got the turkey. And the fellow who won a turkey or two was a hero for a time in those parts. One of our gang, who was quite a hunter, once mustered up a dime from somewhere and took a shot. To the delight of the rest of us kids, he won the choicest bird of the day! As he walked away with a turkey so big he could hardly carry it, an envious man he had beaten was heard to mutter, “Kids haven’t got any business down here, and specially with that little old choked gun.” MocArthur Soys HST Statement Was Inaccurate New York, Dec. 28.—Gen. Doug las MacArthur today described as “inaccurate and misleading,” a re ported statement by President Tru man yesterday that he had reliev ed MacArthur as ar East command er because the general “wanted to involve us in an all-out war in the Far East.” * The United Press quoted the j President as making the statement in an interview the Presidnt gave to its White House correspondents. It was one of a series of year-end interviews with White House cor respondents. MacArthur’s comment, issued by his aide, Major Gen. Courtney Whitney, follows: “President Truman’s statement yesterday, as reported in the pess, that I ‘wanted to involve us in an all-out war in the Far Blast’ is in accurate and misleading. “My purpose and desire was not to extend the war but only to end it. At thah time, this could have been accomplished with only, a fraction of the approximately 70,- 000 American battle casualties which have since resulted. Actual ly, the longer it lasts the greater the chance of its spreading. How anyone could use such a bloody draona as a means of self-glorifica tion is quite beyond my compre hension.” Dr. W. W.
