Three years ago a Civic committee was form-- ed of representatives of all the organizations and clubs of Plym- outh to coc-rdmatc activitiis and to prevent duplication of effort. It was liie Civic committee which suggested a separate or- ganization to conduct the paper sale for raising funds for Clirist- mas charities, A charier book was opened, listing the names of volunteers, and within a few days thirty or more citizens had gathered in the city hall and founded the Plymouth Old Newsboys’ and Goodfellows’ association.

And how true it is! W hat happier sight than to see a youngster who has saved a few pennich, giving his total wealth, to bring happiness and wealth to some other less fortunate youngster! Wherever the message of Christmas has been heard, wher- ever the spirit of good will prevails, wherever there is happiness in the world, THE SPIRIT OF GIVING PREVAILS. Kindness, charity, good will go hand in hand with a Christ- mas gift, no iraticr how small, no matter how trifling it may seem to the giver. How much of hope*has been re-awakened — how much of faith re-born—liy the gifts of Christmas! There seems to be a magic about a Christmas gift, espec- ially a gift thai comes from the heart—such as the gifts that flow from the more fortunate to the less fortunate. In these hours of world distress, when the future seems clouded and somewhat hopeless—there will be born a better day and a greater future—if we keep alive the spirit of giving and the spirit of gratitude. It is blessed to GIVE.

Story Of Goodfellows Committee's Program Committees Investigate Need. Purchase and Distribute Baskets of Toys, Clothing, and Food to Provide a Joyous Yuletide for All "No Child W ithout a Christmas” is the promise of «lic Goodfellows, who every year distribute boxes of toys and cloth- ng. and baskets of goodies that go to make a joyous Yuletide :o those needy families who would otherwise have no Christ- mas. But a system of order, and efficiency, coupled with co-o|) :rative eft'ort, good fellowship, and community spirit, are ncc- issary to make that promise a reality. Under the general supervision of Chairman Arno Thomp- on. the Goodfellow committee investigates, studies and rc lorts. plans and executes its program to bring Christmas cheer nto all the homes of this community at this season. The work of the Goodfellows begins with the ail-import.int •urvey committee, whose members provide the Executive com- nittec as soon as possible with a list of families, children, rtnl Id pri>pli‘. giving if .ast Year’s Sale rotated $670 The GnodkOlnws the Old aised S67U.60 from the (5ld Newsboys’ paper sale in Plymouth la.st year, Hen- ry Hondorp, financial secretary, reports.

He was dressed all in fur. from his licad to hi.s foot.

And the beard of his chin nuts as white a.s the snom: The .stmnp of a pipe he held tight in Jiis teeth. And the smoke it c7icircied his head like a loreath; He had a brood face and a round little belly, That' shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf. And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself; A wink in his eye and a twist of his head Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. He spoke not a word, but u>ent straight to his work. And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose; He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a lohistle, And away they all flew like a down of a thistle. But / heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, ••HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT.” —Clement C.

Duplication of effort in the re ­habilita tion and trea tm en t of the blind-long recognized—was m ade the sub.icct of a carefu l study in cooperation w i t h responsible agencies and individuals and a program m apped out for p resen­tation to the s ta te legislature.

The commission found th at the law s re la ting to child w elfare req u ire codification and clarifica­tion w ith p articu la r reference to s ta tu te s rela ting to child w elfare services and adoption practices, and recom m ended th a t county w elfare agents be placed w ithin the iurisdiction of the s ta te social w elfare commission or the coun­ty social welfare boards in order to reduce costs and duplication of effort.

« * * * Ik * *A fter a year of operation u n ­

d e r the new w elfare act in co­operation w ith the county wel­fare boards the commission found considerable differences as to re­sponsibilities and duties of in ­div idual m em bers of the boards. W hile som e boards functioned solely as policy determ ining bodies, o thers engaged directly in adm inistrative activities on a fu ll-tim e salary basis. M embers of county boards served as d i­rec to rs assum ing indiv idual ad­m inistra tive responsibility w ith respect to d irec t relief, hospital­ization or infirm ary care. Thus, m em bers served in the dual ca­pacity of m aking decisions as to policy and of carry ing out the decisions in an adm inistrative ca­pacity.

T he commission recom m ended a study by the legislature as to the desirab ility of establishing uniform organization of t h e boards.

The problem of the transien t or m igratory w orker as well as the hom eless indiv idual unable to m eet local residence req u ire ­m ents was studied w ith the con­clusion th a t responsibility fo r ex ­tending assistance was not to be c o n s id e r^ a local one but should be d ealt w ith by the sta te as * whole. « * « « « *

D uring the period of ad just­m en t to the new m ethod of re ­lief adm inistration th e commis­sion devoted coifeiderable tim e to developm ent of a form ula for d istribution of d irec t relief funds on an equitab le basis.

The commission decided th at s ta te funds should be advanced on the basis of estim ates but th a t these advances w ould be ad­justed a t a la te r date to conform w ith a percentage of the actual ne t disbursem ents fo r d irect re ­lief in each counlv. By this m ethod the counties w ere assured th a t u llim atelv the sta le w ould allocate sufficient funds to fin­ance a predeterm ined proportion of the actual expenses for relief.

In a rriv ing a t its conclusions th e commission took in to consid­eration the assessed valuation, tax delinquency, and the average annual costs fo r d irect relief d u r­ing the last th ree years in each county.

In establishing the m achinery for providing old age assistance, aid to dependen t children, and aid to the blind afte r Decem ber 1. 1939. the commission followed the adm inistrative pa tte rn prev­iously by th e Old Age A ssistance bureau.

* * * iti *The s ta te bureau of social se ­

cu rity w as m ade responsible for the form ulation of policies and procedures, for the supervision of county bureaus of social aid. and for approval and disburse­m ent of assistance grants. The county bureaus of .social aid w ere m ade responsible for determ ina­tion of clig ib iilly of applicants and provision for continuing services for recipients.

In a m ajority of the counties the bureaus of social aid are now m aintained separately from the county dep artm en ts of social w elfare. How ever, in e ight coun­ties the tw o organizations arc partly in teg rated w ith one per­son serv ing both as supervi.cor of the county bureau and as d i­recto r of th e county departm ent.

In s ix counties the tw o or­ganizations are in tegrated with em ployes of both organizations having responsibilities w ith re ­spect to adm inistration of old age assistance, aid to dependent children, aid to the blind, and d irect relief.

In the p artly or com pletely in ­teg rated counties all employes having responsib ility for social security cases in addition to d i­rect re lief cases were, and are. selected from sta te civil service lists.

The commission faced a ser­ious problem when i t took over adm inistration of old age assis­tance program . As of Ju n e 30. 1939 there w ere 17.127 applica­tions pending disposition. The b iennial appropriation of $7,- 650,000 annually, supplem ented by a like am ount of federal money, w as only sufficient to m eet assistance paym ents for the then existing case load of 83,- 275 recipients.

T he commission faced the al­tern a tiv e of e ither providing less adequate g ran ts for a ll eligible p e rs o n ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ d e n ^ in g th ^ a c c e p ^

ance of pending applicants u n til | such tim e as additional funds j should become available. I t w a s ; decided to tak e the la tte r c o u rse ' ra th e r th an %iwer standards of | those already on th e rolls.

A sim ilar problem w as p r e - ' sen ted ' ■when the a id to depend­en t children program was s h if te d , to the bureau of, social security I m December. 1939.« * « * * * # j

The annual appropriation of $4,000,000 w as based upon a case load of betw een 12 and 13 thou- ‘ sand cases. The commission found it necessary to provide gran ts fo r \ additional six to seven thousand i cases m any of w hich w ere being assisted locally by m others’ p en - j sion paym ents. No county a p - , p roprialions fo r m others’ pension j cases had been m ade b ey o n d ' December.

T he commission had no a l t e r - ' native b u t to establish g ran ts lo r ! recip ien ts w hich in m any in-1 stances were insufficient to m eet the needs of eligible children. De ' sp ite adherence to th is policy i it was found necessary to incur a ne t deficit of $266,621 for th ei fiscal year ending Ju n e 30. 1940. i

G enerally t h e commission 1 found th a t inadequacy of appro­pria tions for the social s e c u r i ty ; p ro j^am s has added to local f in - ; ancial difficulties. In a ll counties it was found necessary to ex tend I d irec t re lief to a large num ber j of cases aw aiting acceptance o f ; these program s, and to ex tend supplem ental aid to m any cases I actually receiving assistance. i

In Jan u ary . 1940. d irec t re lie f 1 in an aggregate am ount of $73,-1 843.59 was ex tended to 4,619 ‘ pending applicants for old age | assistance. On J u ly 1, 1940 a p - ; pro.ximately 32,000 app lican ts ,! m any of w hich probably receiv- • cd d irec t relief, w ere aw aiting | acceptance on the O ld Age A s­sistance program . <« « « « « * *

T he commission recom m ends additional appropriations f o r adm inistrative costs of ex tending aid believing th a t m ore frequen t and in tensive investigations m ay elim inate ineligibles perm itting adm ission of m ore pendng appli­cants as well as cu tting down the am ount paid out in d irec t re ­lief grants.

In addition to the functions re- d a ting to d irect re lief and the so­c ia l security program s th e com ­m ission during the y ea r provided 1 inspection of p riva tely operated ■ hom es for th e aged as w ell as | juvenile detention hom es and in ­firmaries. and superv ised pro­gram s fo r rehab ilita tio n and trea tm en t of the blind.

I t served as the sta te su p er­vising agency for C ivilian Con­servation Corps selection and e n ­ro llm ent, fo r certification of per­sons eligible to receive federal surp lus com m odities as w ell as for th e d istribu tion of such com­m odities and for certification for W orks Progress A dm inistration em ploym ent.

The county boards of social w elfare provided hospitalization for affiicted adults, operated county infirm aries, and under agreem ents w ith the s ta te com ­mission. acted as local agencies for CCC selection and enrollm ent, certification for su rp lu s com ­m odities and distribution , and for certification fo r WPA. in addition to adm inistration of d irec t relief.

C om parative average m onthly d irect re lief case load and to ta l assistance paym ents fo r the fis­cal years 1938-39 and 1939-40:

This Christmas, give her a promotion. Make her a Manager. Give her a servant.

That is the easiest way to please your Wife or Mother; Give her an electric ap­pliance that will help her **get the house­work out of the way’* quickly and easily. pO:that and you give her what every woman

ywants—more leisure time and strength for ' the other important things she really wants

to do.Your gift of an electric range means more

than good meals and a modern kitchen. An electric water heater brings more than hot water. These are impoctant. But the thing your Wife or Mother wants more than any­thing else, and the finest thing you can give her this Christmas, is—

the Priceless G ijt oj Freedom from Drudgery

And no matter what appliance you choose as her 1940 Chmtmas gift you can be sure that she will really mean it from the bottom of her heart when she says: "Obi Just what I've aiwi^s wanted.'-

W hen we set out today to sell a new 'product or spread a new Mea. our first thought is to se­cure the sponsorship of prom ­inent. successful m en and w o­men. Y et C h ristian ity h as often been advanced in quite another way. A young m an finished his course a t H arvard and w ent to teach in a Latin school. A fter a year he was discharged as a com plete failure. He was u tte rly discouraged: and yet. wonder of wonders, the m ost eloquent preacher Am erica has ever seen was this same dism al failure. More than once, those who lis­tened to Phillips Brooks said. “He m akes God rea l to us.”

In the last century a m an left his place as clerk in a show store and becam e the soul of a relig­ious rev ival in th is country. D. L. Moody is only one of count­less exam ples which prove that Bethlehem is a fact in our times.

T h is 'b rin g s us to the question of Bethlehem : W hy does God so often shed His light upon a d a rk ­ened world by m eans of des­pised races, hum an failu res and forgotten men. S t. P aul long ago pointed out that "not m any wise men afte r the flesh, not m any mightv. not m any noble are called." Why? The answ er is not difficult. God can speak through a man only when th at m an lets God hold undisputed sway in h:s life. The m ighty arc too confident in their own power, the noble are proud of th e ir aristocratic heritage, the wise are complacent in their own reason. The gospel has alw ays flourished m o s t among the poor, the outcast, the defeated, because these people, w ith nothing on which to pride them selves, can m ost easily tu rn and follow Christ in to a new way of life.

The old legend of the C hrist- child rep resen ts this. O ut in the cold n ight the C hrisl-child w an­ders. The houses of the well-to- do arc bright w ith m any lights stream ing through the windows. Inside a re m irth and laughter, w arm th and good cheer. There are no thoup* \ <if the Chriat- child whos^ o irthday is this night, but on.y thoughts of pres­ents and fun and good things to cat.

To one door and then another the sh ivering child goes, but w hen those w ithin see only a ragged waif, they tu rn away and ' shut the door. Is there no home in the world where he m ay cn-

' I ter?

Catholic sew ing-w om an frc«n a rem ote town in C anada came to one of our g rea t hospitals w ith a disease which requ ired the am ­putation of her leg. She had the operation and se ttled down for a long, slow convalescence in a surgical ward. T hen the doctors and nurses of th at w ard began to notice a change in the sp irit tlicre. The little Catholic sewing- woman had brought her sewing along w ith her and a fte r her op­eration she occupied herself hap­pily with«her old trade. B ut m ore than that, she in terested the other patien ts in the ward in sewing till she had them busy and con­ten ted and enthusiastic fo r m ak ­ing som ething good out of their illness.

The success of her efforts in th a t w ard m arked the turn ing point in the life of th a t woman. She gut the idea th a t she could d irect a sewing and d ressm ak­ing establishm ent w here all the work would be dune by cripples like herself. By the tim e she had got tliis s tarted , she had lost her o ther leg by am putation, but none of her enthusiasm was lost. Now for 20 years she has taught and supervised sew ing by a group

; uf handicapped persons, first in a little sliop of her own and

; later in a church home.One lim e sne said. " 'I wonder

j if anyone is happier Ilian I am— : Oh. let us coin the precious time I th at is given us to do big things I for God. No m atte r how small ' or triv ia l Ihi'.v are. if done for I Him they will be big.” j The Dromi.4e of Bethlehem is I ilial anv life will be glorified I w hen it is m ade a channel . .

th rough w hich the love of God flows out to His children. B eth­lehem is not only across the sea in Palestine: it is in P lym outh. It is w herever a life is throw n open to God to be used by Him. The story of th a t tiny city and its everlasting glory, because it sheltered G od’s M essenger to m an. says som ething like this to every person today: "Though you feel yourself insignificant, unable to do anyth ing w orth while for the world, yet from you m ay shine forth the holy light of love to hum an souls in need. F riend, open your heart and let yourself become a Bethlehem .”

U. Of M. Club Plans Banquet

The U niversity of M ichigan club in P lym outh w ill sponsor an all-college banquet a t the P lym outh high school auditorium Tuesday. J a n u ary 14. a t which A lexander G. R uthven. president of the U niversity of M ichigan, will be the guest sipcaker.

Here Is School Record of Interest

The last of the inte lligent Ash stra in w ill leave P lym outh high school nex t year to end a trail of scholastic fire th a t has burn ­ed for alm ost 15 years.

F or nex t year the last of eight Ashes w ill g raduate, leaving the valedictorian field open once m ore for general competition.

Five boys and th ree girls, all m em bers of the C harles Ash fam ily of 184 C aster avenue have sailed through the P lym ­outh school system , and two girls and one boy. so far, have been a t th eir graduation, class valedictorian.

The cu rren t Ash, Russell, who is president of the jun io r class and has a 94 scholastic average, is the e ighth and last in h is fam ­ily to a ttend Plym outh schools and the seventh to have an honor average. The o th er dropped out of school a t the death of his m other.

R uth, who m ade her bow with last year’s class, had the b e s t . record of them all. She l e f t ! P lym outh a t the top of the class I of 1940 with a 190 per cent "A ” , average in four years of h ig h : school. I

B ut Evelyn in 1930 and Edw in in 1932 came close enough to all "A’s” to be th eir class valedic­torians. too.

Evelyn who got A -f in half her subjects came through with 26 A’s and 3 B’s: and E rw in pro­duced 20 A’s and 3 B's.

T hree valedictorians out of six tries isn’t bad at all. And by present indications they’re "good to the last Ash!!”

Here is u hut w ith a light in just one room, Only a tiny fire burns, for wood m ust last as long as possible. Though the Christma.s decorations afe m ake- .shifis. there is jo llity and good cheer. A t the ch ild’s knock a wom an w ith several boys and g irls a t her heels opens the door, and seeing the child cold and trem bling, welcomes him in and all m ake him comfortable. These have know n suffering enough to be touched by it in others. They know enough of poverty to open their hearts to those who share it.

Som etim es God speaks through those of success and w ealth and prom inence but m ore often he goes to some Bethlehem fo r the chosen Herald, because only, those who. w hatever their s ta ­tion. a re "poor in sp irit” can let the C hrist-ch ild in.

Docs not w hat we have said suggest the prom ise of B ethle­hem? It is this: Even the most handicapped life, like th at little town in far-off Judea, becomes glorified w hen it is o p e n ^ as a dw elling place of the divine.
