The Christmas season is irresistible. It carries a message for everybody. To children, Christmas means a tree with mysterious white packages beneath it. Children have an unquestioning faith in good St. Nick who will mount the housetop, come down the chimney and fill their stockings. They find a new joy in the act of giving as well as receiving and beg their mothers to help them choose a present for grandmother and the other members of the family. To older people Christmas is no longer candy canes and white packages. It is rather the time when family ties are strengthened and when security and well-being, no matter how unstable and temporory these days, is appreciated. Though the Christmas be meager, the season is filled with the holiday feeling. There is need for the spirit of Christmas this year. It is a unifying force. No matter where they are, in churches, in homes, or on battle fields, people are drawn together on Christ mas Eve. In large crowds, or in small isolated groups, they sing the same carols and listen to the same story of the star, the angels, and the wise men. Again in 1944, American church es, American schools and homes will ring to the sound of “Come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant.’’ May “joyful and tri umphant” be the Christmas message and prophecy for 1945. “PEACE ON EARTH . . .“ ONE of the most popular Christmas cards of the year is one which avoids saying anything about a Merry L.nsi.uas ora Happy New Year, but simply has this line on it: Peace on Earth Christmas, 1944. Many of us had hoped without having much reason on which to base our hope, that there would be peace on earth by Christmas. Now we know that can’t be. And, as we celebrate Christmas this year, the tragedy of war will be uppermost in our thoughts and there will be tew of us who will be able to have a really merry Christmas day. nut we tervenuy nope, and have every reason to believe, h.ul a. is Unas itii win oe tne last wartime Christmas, w—ii-.o I.,-... 3..iiuiu at .lie moot joyous cnriBunas in the w i,ui luuiiuj. ii we can oeiieve any of tne predic ..._ ...ij ,._i, oj c,iiiibLinas, i34o, our boys who are __, __ .x,_B __i.^uwug on uiBiaiit uaiLieironts, viiumiiii^ v_mns emits* XXtieS. -„ *.__ us m nviuc gainer together for Christmas ..„ U...O jo-., wo in—j oe uo.e to unu a uuie joy in ..0 o* .1 — - ooi*. oi j-io-vicuoiy occasion maraing a day ... __ uii o—ii—b oi a i val IMU) UI1 £.0101 VjlU'lSi nu i umuoiLr, UANGfcK-LlNE AioC.uh.mi'.C to tne latest government ngures, we are getting perilously near tne point wnere tnere will not be enougn automobiles available lo cany on essential work. ibe government tiaurei chow that there are now approx imately 23,750.000 privately owned passenger cars ana ...e Ottice of Lietense Transportation estimates that a minimum of 20,000,000 in the hands ot essential arivers are needed to keep civilian economy operating. 'that excess of 3,760,000 might sound like enough to keep us going for a wnile. but tne immediate aar.ger lies in this tact: tne cars which are getting the hardest use, and are con sequently closest to the graveyard, are those owned by essen tial drivers, whereas the best running cars and the least used are in the hands of non-essential drivers. The ODT has not recently mentioned the possibility of commandeering cars from non-essential drivers for use of es sential drivers, but that may be the only way out if cars con tinue to break down at the present rate. The only way to avoid it is for everyone, including essential users, to use their cars as little as possible and have them as wel cared for aa possible. WE WILL PAY FOR CARELESSNESS ports that estimated fire lis&es in the United States in October ^ Laconically, the National Board of Fire Underwriters re 1944, are up 2 per cent over Septtember, 1944 and $2,600,009, or 8 per cent'over October, 1943. This ij the highest October loss since October, 1931 Losses in the twelve months ended with October 31, 1944 . are estimatted at more than $420,000,000 as sompared with $361,485,000 fir the year ended October, 1943. Not only is the total fire loss rising, but the rate of fire losses has reversed its long downward ttrend, with the result, as reported in Business Week, that some fire insurance companies report that their combined losses and expenses are runnnig around $1.06 for each premium dollar they are collecting. If the present adverse trend in fire losses tlroughoit the . country is not brought to a halt by a greater public conscious ness of the menace of fire, people must eventually pay more for the protection of fire insuance. They will unavoidably be OSMsaed for gross carelessness. 1—But Lo. a Star Outlasts Thera All* ^ ' ft WASHINGTON, D. C. (NWNS) , —Ever since Edward R. Stettinus . Jr. was named secretary of : ate to succeed Cordell Hull lie has been setting off political fireworks tvhich have centered international attention on our state department Greatest international excite ment was caused by his statement made within a week after his ap pointment,. outlining our policy in regaid to the -setting up govern ments in liberated countries. In dear cut terms Mr. Stettinius strongly disapproved of any of the United Nations taking part in in fluencing the type of government to be set up in those countries and stated that those decisions should be left in the hands of the liber ated people-. He indicated that he favored this policy even in Italy, although he was more concerned with tnc countries which had not fought against us. Mr. Stettinius’ view* dallied with those expressed by Anthony Eden of Greet Britain who insists that England has a perfect right to influence the setup of the Ital ian government and who has de fended the activities, of England in influencing the government set up in Greece. But, although there appear to be stroQg differences of opinion between Mr. Eden and Mr. Stetti nius, there is no reason to believe that these differences cannot be worked out amicably. Stressing the importance of this. Lord Hali fax, the British ambassador to the United States said “There is no single thing more important for the world’s future than Anglo American understanding. I am convinced that while we shah have | our arguments and our differences I —it would ne a dull world if we i didn't—there is nothing on which witn goodwill and a readiness to ! understand each other’s position, | we shall not eventually be able to reach settlement, or at least agree j to differ as friends.” j Whie Mr. Stettinius’ interna- j ; tional views have caused the most ! consternation in Allied countries, i they seem to be generally accep j ted here as being those of the I American people and their legisla i tors. But there has been consider* I able argument in Washington ov er changes in the state depart ment which the President propos i ed on Mr. Stettinius’ recommenda I tion. Although senators said there was no personal element involved in protesting against the immedi ate approval of four nominations for hign posts in the state depart ment, they insisted on sen,,dig the Announcement!

It it obvious that Mr. Steltiniut it cleaning house and, although congress has no objection to this, it wants to have a hand in the picking of the top men. The friction between the Presi dent and congress does not seem to have abated since the election, as indicated by congress’ insist ence on freezing social security payments at 1 per cent for the third time although the President had strongly urged that payments be increased to 2 per cent as pro vided by the social security law. . since the 78th congress is ; i through, and the 79th con .. s is more strongly Democratic . i.< opposition is expected to be . .. drastic in 1945.

The first business occurring to me as having started 1 an unusual place is the Douglas Aircraft tompanj, of os Angeles, Calif., which had about as unusual place to tart its flight as any I know. This was in a barber shop n Pico Boulevard, Los Angeles. Donald W. Douglas was ard up, and the barber, who was a great admirer of his mbitious young client, invited him to use his shop as an ffice—that’s the way Douglas Aircraft was born. Another business which got its start under unusual onditions, concerns a man named Matthias W. Baldwin, rho was a jeweler in Pennsylvania. He made his ewe lry and his interest in mechanics led him to establish , small machinery business. In his shop he needed pow r to operate his machinery and, as no suitable engine ould be purchased, he built himself a stationary Bteam ngine. His experience with his steam operated stationary ngine aroused his interest in the subject of steam loco notives, several of which had already been built. One »f his friends, proprietor of the Philadelphia museum, irged Baldwin to build a small steam locomotive to op iate in the museum. This proved so successful that a ocal railroad, then operated with horses, asked him, to mild a full sized locomotive to haul their trains. The luccess of this first Baldwin locomotive led to further or lers, and thus a great industry was established. In Ilion, New York, there was located a blacksmith ihon where people said you could get “anything made, rhis was pretty nearly true, for the blacksmith was some Ling of aPgenius. When men came to him to make guns, ie would toss a horseshoe into his tub of water to let the red hot iron cool, then talk to trem about the kind of run they wanted. Well that man was Philo Remington. He started the Remington Arms company and he recei ved his inspiration for this tremendously big work back ,hcrp in the little blacksmith shop. , . Where do you suppose the addressograph machine was invented?
