Last Christmas our local jew-
elry store added two new de-
partments we never had carried
before, One was a top counter,
where a selection of movie dolls
was featured. The other—an op-
tical department—catered to the
trade who could not afford glass-
es finless they could arrange to
pay for them on credit.
Visiting the shop the night be-
fore Christmas, I watched a tiny
little girl . . . I'm sure she
couldn't have been more than six
standing before the already
sadly depleted doll counter. Her
eyes were big as she looked up
at the one doll still unsold, and
there was a child's longing in
therm as she tugged at the tat-
tered overall jacket of her father,
busy talking to the optometrist.
"Daddy," she called, her voice
shrill with excitement, "look!
Isn't it the d;urlingest thing? Do
you think Santa mvilI bring it to
me?"
The man's tired face turned
tomvard her, and a hurt expression
flushed acro.:s it .settling hopo-
lessly in the gray eyes. " 'Fraid
not, Mary," he answered. "I saw
Santa in a store down the street
a while ago, and he said that
'•e'd be about out of everything
by the time he reached our house.
Reckon he might have some
sweets, or maybe a rag doll
though. And he's promised for
sure to bring those glasses."
"Oh!" Tears were in her eyes,
but she fought therm back brava-
ly, and her worn coat sleeve
wiped the last trace of them
away,
"Come on, Mary," the optome-
trist called, taking the little girl
by the hand.
* •
The optometrist turned to the
father. "I'11 make a special effort
to finish them tonight," ho said.
He was back soon, a slip in
his hand. "I've fixed it with the
management. A dollar now, and
a dollar a month until the balance
of five dollars is paid."
Mary had returned for a final
look at tho toy. "Don't you think,
Daddy, that tho glasses .could
come as a birthday present, and
. . . oh, I did want a doll so
badly! But .. , but I won't cry."
* * .
Her father hadn't heard. He
was busy feeling in his pockets
for the dollar needed for the
down paymert. He found a lean
wallet, and from it pulled a quar-
ter and seven dimes. He counted
them over twice, a scared look
on his face, then began a renew-
ed search. Triumphantly, he
finally produced an eighth dime,
and handed the silver to the op-
tometrist.
As the man in overalls and his
elfin daughter started toward the
door, the girl behind tho doll
counter looked at the optometrist,
then at me, a tear in her eye.
Then she ran after the pair.
"Wait a moment — isn't your
nano Mary?" she asked.
"Uh-huh?" the little girl an-
swered, bewildered.
"Then I guess Santa meant
you. He was here just a few
minutes ago, and said he had a
doll for a little girl named Mary,
but he was afraid he wouldn't
have the time to deliver it. Then
he remembered that the little
girl's father said he was coming
here, so he asked me if I'd keep
the doll and give it to you. That's
it, up on the counter. Take it
and run away, because I'm so
busy I haven't time to talk."
. * .
Shyly, Mary reached up for
the proffered treasure, and hug-
ged it close.
Mary was speechless while her
benefactor busied herself behind
the counter. Suddenly the girl
ielt a tug at her skirt, and Mary
was at her side, looking up at her.
"I believe you're Mrs. Santa
Claus," the child whispered, awe
in her voice.
As the floor closed behind the
pair, the girl took her purse from
her bag and looked inside.
"Mrs. Santa Claus, indeed!" I
heard her mutter. "Lucky for
roe this is pay day, or Mrs. Santa
wouldn't eat tomorrow."
The Chinese Pay
Bills At Christmas
Although their usually elabor-

simpler these days, time Chinese
still exchange gifts. In fact, the

If You Are Born
On Christmas Day
There is a Scottish belief that
to be born on Christmas is to
have the power to see spirits and
even to command them, Sir Wal-
ter Scott says that the Spaniards
attributed the haggard and down-
cast looks of Philip II to the ter-
rible visions he was able to see
because he was gorn on Christ-
mas,
French peasants believe that
babies born on Christmas have
the gift of prophecy.
In Silesia a baby born on
Christmas will become either a
lawyer or a thief.
In middle Europe it is said
that if a baby is born at sermon
time Christmas Eve, someone in
the house will die within the
year.
English smothers used to take
sick babies to the door Christmas
Eve midnight, Mary was expected
to pass with the Christ Child. If
the baby recovered, it was a sign
that it had been touched by
Christ, with healing fingers, and
if It died, the Christ Child had
called the bah; to he His play-
matl In heaven.

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good -will to men!
And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth," I said;
"For hate is strong,.
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good -will to men!"
Then peeled the bells more loud and
deep:
"God is not dead; nor doth He sleep!
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good -will to
men."

And lots io eat and lots of fun!
But ...
Where there is a saddened heart,
Where the tears are quick to start;
Where a mother hides her grief
Knowing tears are scant relief.
mWhere an car is tuned to hear
Rumblings of unspoken fear;
Where a father, proud and tense,
Carries on, despite suspense.
'Til that time comes our way is clear—
At Christmas and throughout the year;
To work; to cheer; to give our aid—
Tireless; boundless; unafraid!
Then let us celebrate this lJav—
This Christmas—in the good old way.
And at the end—O let us pray—
"Bring Peace, dear Lord, NEXT Christmas
Day."

Eliding propensities may be traced

As a receptacle for Santa
Claus' gifts, the stocking with its
obvious roomy advantages de-
veloped from the shoe used by
the European child and placed on
the hearth, signifying the owner
was in bed, In Germany and
Scandinavia the children usually
search for their ttJy. which are
hidden away in unexpected places,
while in man» districts of Spain
and Italy gifts are distributed to
the children at elaborate street
'estivals.
Peace, Good -Will
"It isn't the giving, or getting

Twice -Blasted
Dnieper Dam
The famous Dnieper dam has
been blown up again. But this
time the explosives were fired by
the Germans, as they publicly
abandoned hope of holding their
Dnieper River line. It would be
difficult to find a more fitting
symbol of the progress of the
war on the Eastern European
front,
The Russians themselves first
destroyed the Dnieper dans la
their costly retreat across the
Ukraine, The necessity for that
act was a hitter blow, not merely
because they were inordinately
proud of the structure, but be-
cause the defences of the Ukraine
had not proved as strong as they
had supposed. It is now com-
monly agreed that although no
real quislings were found any-
where
nywhere in Russia, Nazi propaganda
did at the beginning make some
headway among the Ukrainians.
The original destruction of the
Dnieper duns meant relinquish-
ing the greatest single monument
of the Soviet's new industrializa-
tion program, Its second demo-
lition represents a German con-
fession that trillions of lives had
been squandered on a conquest
that could not be made to stick.

"This is the night—the night I've always lived
for, year in and year out.
!'This one is sure different, though. Instead of
sleighbells, we've got tank tracks clanking over
the rocks. Instead of stockings over the fireplace
we've got Army socks drying on the bushes. In-
stead of a treeful of presents, Jerry lobs over 155's.
!'See that star over there?Looks like.a Christmas star
all right. It's shining down on our house right now,
I bet ... on Dad and Mom and the kids and Mary.
(''They'll be singing carols and it'll sound wonder-

the stuff on the tree will }i.e sparkling like diamonds.
And after a while they'll hang up the stockings. And
finally they'll all go to bed and the kids'll dream
of Santa Claus all night long, like I used to.
"Merry Christmas, Dad and Mom !1lierry Christmas,
kids! Merry Christmas, Mary! Don't worry about
me. I'm all right. And, if everything goes okay, 1'll

Blind Newt Holds
Record For Fasting
The cat which survived a 41 -
gay voyage as a stowaway with -
mat food, producing four kittens
Into the bargain, must certainly
be a rare specimen of endurance,
though the licking of cosmogene
from a crated engine no doubt
helped to keep the wolf from the
door, But the annals of the ani-
mal world contain fasting feats
even more remarkable.
Passing over the case of the
Liverpool dog buried during a
Wit: which survived after 20 days
without food or water, the first
•f the really notable records is
that of the marine iguanas from
the Galapagos Islands, which ob-
stinately refused food for three
months before giving up their
hunger strike, This, however, has
been beaten easily by n 25 -foot
python in the London 'Loo, which
declined all feed whatsoever for
18 months and was none the
worse when it began eating again,
A Madagascar boa -constrictor,
however, turned even this record
Into small beer by existing, in
similar conditions, in the Paris
Jardin des Plantes for four years
and a month. The world's record
so far is held by the blind newt,
the Proteus, one specimen of
which spent five years between
two meals. The record for a
man, by the way, is 60 days.

8.8. Colborne, of the Canadian Na-
tional Stearnships, received the insignia
of a Member of the Most Excellent
Order of the British Empire at the
recent investiture at Ottawa for his
.action in safely piloting his ship from
Penang, an island off the west coast of
Malaya, which the Japanese captured
early in their campaign against Singa-
pore.
The voyage of
the Colborne,
which in ace -
time was known
to thousands of
travellers as ono
of the line's West
Indies "Vagabond
Cruise" ships, will
likely bo recorded
as one of the most
remarkable and
thrilling sen
stories of the war.
It bean in Can-
ada in Septem-
ber, 1941, sail
when six months later Captain IIuhley
brought his ship back to all Eastern
Canadian port with patches covering
shrapnel holes in her starboard side
the result of a near bomb hit while at
Penang, lie had guided his ship for
12000 miles, much of that distance
being through unfamiliar waters, and
had brought her safely through several
largo minefields.
On the outward voyage the ship
carried cargo to Calcutta, afterwards
proceeding to Penang where ebe
strived in time to encounter two aerial
bombardments staged by the Japanese
on December 9 and 11. On the second
attack a bomb bit a lighter alongside
the Colborne and the shrapnel made
snore than 50 holes in the ship itself.
The Captain headed for sea and con-
tinued to Singapore, There the hull was
patched, loading completed and with
30 passengers on board the Colborne
set out again as the Japanese staged an
air attack on the port.
Be brought the Colborne back to
Cenada via India, South Africa and the
West Indies.
Captain Hubley, whose home is in
8hediae N.B., was born in I)undae,
Prince Edward Island. He has been
commander of the Colborne since 1932,

SYNOPSIS
Dave Bruce, out of a Job, arrives
at Wilbur Ferris' Cross -Bar ranch.
Curren, the foreman, promises him
a Job If he can break a horse call-
ed Black Dawn. When he succeeds,
he discovers Curran expected the
horse to kill hint, A girl named
Lois rides up. She Is angry with
Dave for breaking "her" horse and
refuses to speak to him even after
he has used his savings to help
her foster father, Hooker, pay off
the mortgage on their ranch. She
leaves, and that night, while Hook-
er Is trying to tell Dave a secret
ht has learned, Hooker Is killed
by a shot fired through an open
window, As Dave starts to town
to get the sheriff he meets Lols,
who Immediately believes him
guilty, Now Sheriff Coggswell has
Just arrested Dave for murder.
For an instant. Dave sized up the
situation. it hadn't occurred to him
before that he could possibly bo
under suspicion of having killed
the harmless old man whom he
hall befriended, For a moment the
ignominy of his position maddened
111711 with anger. But ho hadn't a
chance, with Sheriff Coggswell's
gun covering his heart.
So, with a shrug of his shoul-
ders, he held out his hands. While
Sims covered him in turn, Coggs-
well extracted a pair of handcuffs
from his saddle bag and snapped
them over Dave's wrists.
"I guess you icin handle this bad
hombre, Simis," said ('oggswell to
his deputy. "Me and Miss Lois will
ride up to the 10013 and invest!.
gate. Turn yore haws, Bruce.,,
in another moment Dave was
riding hack toward Mescal, Sims
was at his side with a gun in his
hand, while the sheriff and Lois
were galloping back across the
valley,

DAW N
empty; the afternoon before, was
now very much alive. Storekeep-
ers were standing in their door-
ways, looking on. Little groups of
inhabitants, gathered at street
corners and w1111)1011 the two men
ride by. A holdall of Me\iean ur-
chins formed In procession, run-
ning behind the horses and hoot-
ing loudly. It was evident that
Lois' story of hooker's murder
had Immediately become public
properly.
• +
tI was with afeeling of relief
that Dave walked up the stone
steps of tho jail, Passing through
the anteroom, ho was ushered In-
to ono of the two steel cages that
comprised the cells. In one corn-
er was a cot bed, and that was
all, The deputy clanged the door,
"Ain't you goin' to take these
wrist -hands off?" demanded Dave.
"Nope, not till the sheriff guts
back," answered the dopey, "l'o're
a desp'rate killer, Bruce, and I ain't
takin' no chances with yuh."
It must have been midday before
Sheriff Coggsle liI appeared, with
Sims beside him, Each elan had a
gun In his 1110111, and the look on
the sheriff's taco destroyed all
Dave's hopes of Immediate liber-
ation.
"I'm talcin' you before Judge Lon-
ergan," said the sheriff, "Unlock
that cage, Sims."
"So you think I hilted old Hook-
er?" Dave demanded,
"You kin argue that with the
Judge. He's vaitin'," was all that
Coggswell vouchsafed,
Coggswell led the way, and Dave
followed, with the deputy's revolv-
er pressing into the small of his
back. They went up a flight of
stairs 10 a small courtroom over-
head, The two dozen or so of seats
were all filled, and other spectators
lined the walls. Lonergan, seated
on the bench, grinned viciously as
Dave was brought in front of lint,
• •
"You haven't lost any time since
you bit 111eseal," 11e observed, "1 Lave
you been through your list of
wanted sten yet, sheriff?"
"No, I ain't had tlin chance,"
Coggswell responded, "but the
facts is as clear as daylight. Yore
honor heard him cheat old [looker
out of a half-share in that valuable
property when the said Hooker
was in a state of intoxication. Like-
wise they was seen to ride away
together, and by the prisoner's own
admission him and Hooker spent
the night together 1n the cabin,"
"And Miss Hooker?" asked Lon -
organ.
"She spent the night nut on the
mesh with her hawses, Didn't like
the looks of the hombre's face, and
rockernized him for the feller who
beat up Curran at the Cross -liar
yestitlday. \Veil, yore honor, we
brunt; Hooker's body into town. He
was killed instantly with a forty-
five
ortytive slug through the kali), w11lelt
the doe extracted. Likewise there's
one shell fired from the prisoner's
forty-five,"
"Looks like you killed that poor,
harmless old loan," rasped Loner-,
gen, "hoping to find some money
or something, \1'hnt have you got
to Ray?"
• •
"All I got to say is," answered
Dave, "Mr, hooker woke up be-
fore daylight and started talkln' to
me, and all of a sudden a masked
111811 stuck a gun through the win-
dow and shot hint dead. Did my
best to ketch him, but he was too
slick for me, lIe was away 1u the
dark before I could get near enough
to shoot."
"Anything to corroborate that
story, sheriff?" asked Lonergan,
"Nary thing," responded Coggs-
well. "No trail nor nothing, Looks
to me this 18 811 open and shut
case,"
"Well, what did this masked man
look like?" Lonergin demanded.
"You say you saw 11im, how tall
was he? What aort of build did he
have? Could you identify him if
you were to see him again?"
"Nacherally not, him being mask-
ed and It being dark as pitch,"
Dave returned, "But lie was about
yore build, judge, and ho stood
about as high 8s you do, and ho
hail a look like a mangy yeller
coyote, and—"
"Silence!" roared Lonergan,
banging his gavel down on tho
desk, "You'll get nothing by those
tactics, Bruce. I'm holding you with-
out bail for the coroner's jury.
Keep him in close confinement,
sheriff, and see that no oto is al-
lowed to visit him."

the Baptist occurred, for the most
pati, In the summer of A.D. 26,
Tho baptism of our Lord occurred
in January, A.D. 27, and Ills temp-
tation, in January and February
of that year, The events recorded
in this lesson following Ills temp-
tation, did not occur until a year
later, In April, A.D, 2S,
Place,—The iuinlst•,v of John
the Baptist, and our Lord's temp-
tation, Loth occurred in the lvild•
mess of Judaea, The baptism of
Christ took place at the Jordan
River, the exact spot, however,
being unknown to us. 'Pine first
disciples and the first teaching
of our Lord took place in and
near Millennium, on the sea of
Galilee.
The Final Preparation
"And 1t came to pass In those
days that Jesus came from Naz-
areth of Galileo, and was baptized
of John In the Jordan, and
straightway coming up out of the
water, the saw the heavens rent
asunder, and the Spirit as a (love

wilderness, And he tv11s In the
wilderness forty (lays tempted of
Satan; and he was with the wild
beasts; and the angels minister•
od•unto )tint."
Everyone llsks the question, Why
was Jesus baptized? It is true
Jesus had 110 81118 to be forgiven
but Ile submitted to baptism for
a number Of reasons, First, no
doubt, it gave divine approval to
the baptizing ministry of John
the Baptist, Secondly, It testified
to the reality of the need of man-
kind in general, of a turning from
sin and a washing away of 8111,

God. He tries in every way to lead
leen into sin, to prevent God from
saving amen, to spoil the lives of
men, and to thwart the purposes
of God, If Satan at this hour
could have led Christ 1(n any way
to sin, then the gospel story would
be over before it had hardly be-
gun, No doubt the ministry of t110
angels took place at the end of
the temptation. Probably they
brought 1-Iiul fond, after Satan
had left, and strengthened Ilion
in other ways when the tempta'
tions had been resisted, The temp-
tations were real, Satan W118 real,
the victory was real,
First Preaching of Jesus
"Now after John was delivered
up, Jesus came into Galilee,
preaching the gospel of God, and
saying, The time is fulfilled, and
the kingdom of God is at hand:
repent ye, and believe In the gos-
pel," Christ now asked men to
turn to God, to believe He had
conte from God, to repent of their
sins, to live godly lives. Wherever

not speak with any authority of

Lord spoke out of His )heart, out

Films Made With War Alcohol —The last aerial photograph fits
snugly into place—and there lies the blueprint of another German target clue for a pasting
by our fighting airmen. Pictures taken by aerial reconnaissance are vital links in the chain
which will lead to the ultimate destruction of the Axis war machine, Another Zink is the camera
film on which these pictures are recorded, In making this special film alcohol is used, just as it
is used for many other essential war purposes—for plastics, explosives, anti -freeze and
navigational instruments. In the factory, on the field of battle itself, Alcohol is making a direct
contribution to Victory. Because it is so urgently needed in such fabulous quantities, our plants
are operating at peak capacity,
