RINGER’S Christmas Day Full Course Turkey Dinner with all the Trimmings Price 50c URGES PUBLIC TO EXPRESS ITS [DESIRES Atlanta, Dec. 20.—Congress must make a decision on the United States policy toward Europe’s totali tarian nations within sixty or ninety days, Representative Robert Ram- speck, Democrat, Georgia, declared today in urging the public to inform the legislators of its uesire in the “world crisis.” Expression of public opinion was requested because congressional ac tion in aiding the British has lagged behind public sentiment, he said in addressing the ’ eorgia Woman’s Democratic club. “Congress won’t ever declare war unless the sentiment of the people forces it,” Ram speck asserted. He warned of the consequences of a German victory. “If Germany wins, we will have to remain in a state of armed siege to protect our shores,” Ramspeck said. “Our entire economic system may be changed, too, if Germany gains control of world trade. Cer tainly the world market for our Southern commodity, cotton, would be gone.” h : . • -- WELCOME SANTA! YOU'VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE You can't go wrong with these people, Santa.

Bring ing to mind that first Christmas when angels told of the birth of the Christ child and sang of peace and of good-will upon this earth for all men more than anything else arc the beautiful Christmas carols that con tinue to play a very important part in the season. Whether used in a re ligious worship or otherwise some thing about their melody and lines bring a picture of a cool crisp night, of myraids of stars all pointing to a lone bright star, of shepherds, of wise men, and of a Babe in his holy place. Even we humans, never-ceasing busy shoppers, find a few moments to stop and listen to carols. Any even ing from seven until nine cars may be seen on Main street in front of the McSwain Funeral home, occu pants listening to carols. Others park near the ten cent store to hear the music cbming from a loud speak er above the door. Radios through out the stores are constantly tuned in to Christmas music. The strains of a carol above the din of the crowd never fails to re mind one, if only for a brief second, of the first Christmas. “O come let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.” INEXPENSIVE DECORATIONS Take branches of wild agrito and dip them in cold cooked starch. Then put them into a large brown paper bag, into which you have emptied a box of artificial Christmas snow, and close the bag tightly, holding the end of the branch at the closed opening. Shake thoroughly, then re move from the bag and arrange in flower vases or bowls, When che starch dries, it will hold the artificial snow on the branches to look like ice. or snow covered limbs. Red berries or cranberries stuck on the sharp ends add a festive touch, and these bowls of icy branches make in expensive Christmas or New Year decoration. Other branches of wood or dried weeds can be treated in the same way and arranged artistically. 70 YOUTHS GET WORK The NY A area office on Boyce street is a scene of much activity on account of the fact that National de fense work is now being offered to a large number of boys and girls be tween the ages of 16 and 25 years.

Jones I would,advise you to find out Why maple trees have earrings on; And why tops sing when they are spun, And where the wind goes when it’s gone. I think it would be well to know Why shells give back the ocean’s sound, And what holds stars up in their place, And where a fairy might be found. You’d better know why winding toys Won’t run with carpents on the floors; And you must have your reasons, too, Why snowballs will not keep indoors. BLACK-OUT By Helen Frazzee-Bower There is yet a more dreadful thing than dying (Through every darkened hour of each raid. This is the comfort that the heart keeps crying): It is to live on, breathless and afraid. Death has one ultimatum to deliver And that is over soon. But while we live, Let us live greatly—not despair and .shiver In grim anticipation. Let us give To every moment all our richest being. Drink deeply of each dear remembered bliss, Crowd time with tasting, touching, hearing, seeing; And then, whatever comes, we shall have this. And then, whatever comes—the sudden curtain Of death upon us, or the long suspense— Of one brief, lovely hour we shall be certain. . . . All else shall be of little consequence.
