I have read with the deepest app-.
reciation the obituary of ,the. late
Rev. George Benson ' Cox, which.
.was printed in the Sentinel of.Oct
ober.19th , He: was' indeed a 'vener .
able man, He came to/Valley
Stream'as..a 'curate when our .cong-
regation was a chapel of a larger
and older. parish Under his leader-
ship; Holy Trinity Church `of
Valley Stream became an indepen-�
:dent parish and he tecame, our
first rector Until his retirement •
he was '•& ioved and respected figure
in our village , and it is comforting
to know that after a' long life in the
United. States, he was so lucky as
to, pass his latter ye,ars'in:'oldfaint-
filar surroundings •and arffong devot
ed relatives and friends.
uI also. congratulate Lucknow on,
its weekly papero many of our
weekly papers in New„York •have'
disappeared•. Even those that re •
tlmain
have survived as the result or
•mergers that have necessitated •
suchchanges that too. often thet
paper has lost its local chiracter .
and just is •.not the: same, and really
no better: I hope the publisherof
the Lucknow Sentinel finds it to
his interest to.continue , and is not
just old and . stubborn,:.

The tradition of exchanging
Christmas cards is a charming
part of the joyous holiday, and
;it. has a history of its own.
One
arts of thf at histoe ry is the
,P Y
that ,greeting .cards serve to
• record changing social cus-
• . toms; manners and fashions
through the years, points out
'Miss Esther Mooney, curator
• of the Norcross, Inc., greeting
card collection.
For .instance, an ,English
card of .1892 shows the formal-
ity existing between parents
and children during the Vic-
torian, era. Here a little girl
kneels solemnly at her moth-
er's knee sedately offering her
a Christmas bouquet, With the
wish, ' "May, your life be •' a
Merry Christmas.” •
Modern cards take a livelier,
more light-hearted approach.
Even earlier; greeting cards
began to reflect an easier sort
of filial relationship, Declares

ry Christmas and you, Dad!"
