"Why destroy slot machines, punch boards, drawing games, and confiscating the prizes and possibly indict ing the operators, and paying no attention to the wide open operation of lotteries 1 Press reports say that Congress will be asked to call another election before the next crop is planted, on the Crop Control question. A second election was not held last Spring when Control carried, to determine if the people had voted satisfactory. Why' should t ho recent election be certified by another election THE CHILDREN'S FESTIVAL This is the season of the year when the children are the most important members of the family. Christinas is essentially the children's holiday. That is as it should be. To enthrone and do homage to the children on Christmas day is not only commemo rating and reverencing the Child who was born of Mary nearly twenty centuries a^o, but is elevating the child of today to his proper place as the future ruler of his country. In a democracy, where everybody shares equally in the government of all the people, every child is destined to become one of the rulers when we who now share the responsibility have pa^hI on. In ancient days, wiienSungs ruled by hereditary right,) that was not true. The children of the poor and lowly had no place in the Christmas festivities. The sons and daughters of princes alone were regarded as worthy of the gifts of the people. It took a long time for the spirit of the teachings of Him in whose honor Christmas is celebrated, to gain such possession of the world that over great areas and in the hearts of hundreds of millions His doctrine of the essential equality and brotherhood of all mankind pre vails. And where all are equal, the children of the poor est have the same right to shareTn the gifts of Christ mas time as any others. THE NEW CONGRESS All the signs point to a lively and. interesting session of Congress, when the newly-elected members and the ones who succeeded in being re-elected gather on Capitol Hill. From any sound point of view it seems to be a good thing that neither of the two great parties has such an overwhelming majority in the House of Representatives that it can ride rough-shod over the minority. It is as true of political parties as of every other human organi zations, that they begin to deteriorate when they have undisputed control. The best tonic for the morale of any party is to have . to stand up to a strong Opposition. The result is much * more likely to approach the liberal, democratic stand- j ard of respect for the rights and views of minorities. ' There are many important questions to come before ! the new Congress, on which public and party opinion is sharply divided. The division is not so much over the objectives sought as over the means by which they shall be rnada effective. * ?]r. The results of the recent election indicate quite clear ly that Democrats and Republicans generally are not very far apart in their ultimate purposes. Both want to ameliorate the condition of the less-favored groups of the people, both want to enable business and industry to put themselves into a position where they can employ more workers at better wages, so far as legislation can help bring that about. It is too much to expect of human nature, however, that personal, political and partisan motives can be overlooked. It is to be hoped, however, that the spirit of partisan ship "will not dominate the discussions over the new pro gram of national defense. Once the people are convinced that our national security is even remotely threatened, there should be complete unanimity on the necessity for strengthening the bulwarks which are to protect Amer ica and the American principle from threai or attack by any of the totalitarian powers. , 1 BED CROSS BLOOD DONOR Ohe of the most important developments of modern surgery is the extent to which transfusion of blood from ?nft^eiWR another has been fotrnd useful in saving lives and treating various serious diseases. ! Experience has shown that it is not safe to put into anybody 's veins the blood of anyone else who happens to be willing to come to the, aid of the sufferer.' Not on)jt must the doctors be* certain thnt the blood so given is free from any contamination by disease or heredity, but it must be of the same structural composition or "type" as that of the recipient. In emergencies, as when the victim of any accident is bleeding to death, there is no time to make the elaborate tests necessary, even though there may happen to be someone among the bystanders who is willing to give a few ounces of blood to save the life of another. The large hospitals have lists of "blood donors" who can be called upon in emergencies, and so are able to save many lives which would otherwise be lost. To make such a service available to physicians and hospitals everywhere is the latest service being initiated by the American lied Cross. Local chapters which are willing to .do so and have the cooperation of their com munity physicians, take the responsibility for enrolling volunteer donors who are willing to give blood without fee for indigent or semi-indigent parties as well as in emergencies. Following the example of the British and other Euro pean Red Cross associations, several American chapters have already started such a service. This seems like a peculiarly appropriate extension of the wide philanthropic functions of the Red Cross. PENDER . . offers a variety of tempting foods for a ?
