I're-war Ireland' linen industry Each year at Christmas time, carry on a one-man crusade against the word "Xmas." Per haps I am prejudiced, but I thor oughly dislike the term. To me it is an algebraic expression, and those who remember anything of their tolgebra, will recall i that X is used to represent the unknown quantity. So "Xmas" seems to be a celebration of Christmas with Christ left out. I am familiar with other explana tions which have been given for use of the word, "Xmas." There are those who say that X is one form of the cross, and so used is a symbol of Christ. While it is true that this form of the cross, known Andrews' Cross, was used i used (ifi noil vearly . tons of flax fibre K Large Selection Popular Books In Our LENDING LIBRARY ALSO AN i:tija l.AKfii: STOCK OF NEW HOOKS ON SALE.

I am not of the modern school which wishes to abandon the Santa Claus tradition. Certainly he has a place in the home life of our children. He is a symbol of generosity and good-will. But even in the home he should not be allowed to take the place of Christ. It is more important for children to know "Away In A Manger" and "Silent Night, Holy Night" than it is for them to know, "The Night Before Christmas." But why not let them have both, each in its proper place' Many adults, ;is well as children, look upon it as a time simply of receiving. Certainly we should re ceive anew in our heart our Lord Jesus Christ, and just as truly we should share Him with others. The ancient Romans celebrated their winter festival, the Satur nalia, about the time we celebrate Christmas. They exchanged gifts. Many of us today haven't gotten far above the pagan level of "ex changing." Instead, we should be giving and sharing. So Christmas is a time of giving, sharing and receiving. Let our first gift be Jes'ts Christ, who gave us Himself at Christmas.

There are dolls modeled from newborn babies, toddlers, kindergarteners, the pigtail set and teen-agers. Complete wardrobes are features for each age group, beginning with gorgeous lavettes for baby dolls and includ ing costumes for every social occasion in the life of a glamor girl doll. The 1946 doll parade has its practical side. too. New dolls not only are beautiful or cuddly, they also are practically unbreakable, have real little girl faces instead ot prim grown-up ones, and are equipped with clothes easv for children to take off and out on There are plastic skins that feel almost like human skinfi and there ar brother-and-sister dolls. WASHINGTON ( AP) Finland tainly Christmas is no time for once more has kept up its reputa ahbreviating the name of the One I tation as the on'y country never whose birth we are celebrating. Truly on a birthday the name of the celebrant should be mentioned. However, many Christians who bear the name of Christ do con siderably abbreviate the time they give to the t'nie observance of Christmas in home and church. We have allowed enough purely secular things to come into our celebration of Christmas, so thai to default on loans contracted from the United States in the aftermath of World War 1.
