Unfortunately there are too many that have no alternative, ,They cannot spend. But there are a good many others who can spend, and have decided 'against it, which seems to me to be a mistake. At a Bridge party, the other afternoon one woman said that •s15e'was telling all her . friends that she was not going 'to give any Christmas presents, and intended giving that money to char- ity. Sometimes people start out with good intentions, bttt when the actual giving of the money conies, they be- gin to weaken. It is questionable whether it is wise to quit spending to give. If everyone did that, where Would the extra jobs be? The spend - ng of one individual does not make much difference by itself, but when a number of individuals all do the same thing, then it does.make a difference. We have all heard of large boats be- ing tipped because everyone rushed to the same side. The . same thing happens when everyone stops spend- ing. Again it is the .Christmas time with The savings banks all report large its thronging memories and sacred increases in their savings accounts. story. Again we review the past and gage into the future. The immediate past brings to us as White-Ribboners the "Vote as you Pray" • campaign. Some asked even much to blame, either, as it is very then what good has it done? Today easy to see their attitude.

You have seen or heard about there is a feeling of insecurity about the Citizen Protest Petition that is 4 their jobs.

We undoubtedly have the right to Tutti Fruitti Christmas Cake demand that the government so change natters- that present distress be' relieved: This introduces another matter. One of our women who is serving on a Board of Relief, suggests that some steps be taken so that the man who will not work niay learn that the Scripture says "Neither shall he eat." Too many relief stations are opened where men who refuse to do work when it is offered can go and be fed. Have you ever passed a relief line where a goodly percentage of these down-and-outers were not smoking? Again and again societies have found they were the proud possessors of li- quor permits and car licenses—a good combination to produce bootleggers.
