PRICE, TAG ON A JOB A MAN working for himself provides his own tools and machines. For example, a farmer buys the tractor, cultivator and other equipment for his farm. In industry, equipment is too , expensive .for one man to buy, and plants and machines are bought with the invested savings of shareholders. At The Steel Company of Canada, Limited, the average 'investment per employee in plant and equipment is $21,700. Besides paying shareholders for the use of their savings, profits replace worn out equipment and pro- vide for factory expansion. A company without a profit is a company without a future.

To the early .Christians, it was unthinkable to celebrate one's birthday — much less the birth- day of Christ, Birth meant the assumption of original sin and frequently the beginning of a life of persecution and perhaps rtartyrdom. Birthday festivities, more- over, were a pagan custom. The R'haraoh of Egypt and Herod ce- lebrated their birthdays, as the Bible relates. But it was sacri- lege even to suggest that a Di- vine Being had a birthday. In the 300's, however, this at- t titude was beginning to change, World Book Encyclopedia re- ports that in the year 354 the ; Bishop of Rome declared Dec- I ember 25 to be the anniversary of the birth of Christ. But it took another pagan ri- tual to help establish Christmas. The ancient peoples of Europe had been accustomed to cele- brating the winter solstice, when the sun seems to return tq the Northern Hemisphere, in late December. The pagan feast commemorating the victory of light over darkness was simply replaced by the Christian festi- val honoring the "Light of Life."
