CHRISTMAS 1940 Even to a world darkened by war, Christmas again brings its ageless message of peace and good fellowship. Nearly two milleniums have passed since watchful shepherds saw the star which guided them to the manger in Bethlehem and heard an angelic choir proclaim, "Good will toward men!" The world has yet to find a nobler message or a more imperishable one. It has endured for nearly twenty centuries as a guide to men of many lands, and for all the world's failure to keep faithful pledge with an ideal so high, it has never lost its power to move the hearts of men and to lead them, despite hardship and disasters, to strive for amity and fellowship among all people as mankind's greatest goal. This is one reason why Christmas is traditionally the season of giving, of brightening with gifts the lives of others, and particularly of those less fortunate than ourselves. Blessed as this nation is with peace—in this year, the rarest gift of all—we can wholeheartedly make of this Christmas a time for spreading cheer with thoughtful remembrances of others. The gay wreaths of fragrant cedar and green holly decked with flame-red berries; the joyous carols which celebrate in familiar strains the birth of Christ; the jolly countenance of old Santa himself bringing wonder and delight to the expectant hearts of children, all declare this to be the year's season of good tidings. Wherefore to one and all, young and old, we wish a right merry Christmas! Legion Commander Will Visit County Between the Headlines (Continued from Page 1) The fall of France is now fully joined, since a major attempt to that colony in the face of greater Italian forces would necessitate entailed a division of resources, weakening either concentrations in Egypt or those Kenya. And this sacrifice will not have been balanced by any other factor. From the Arab-Egyptain Sudan and from Kenya simultaneously a successful orive might well bid fair to despatch once and for all the Italian hold on the northeastern corner of Africa continent. Not alone are the British coming upon their own troops, for the figure of Haile Selassie, posed by Mussolini, they have possibly powerful ally, the emperor of Ethiopia, once more office recognized as such by the government of London, has for most been working assiducially from headquarters on the Sudan border. He is known to have tabulated regular contacts with Italian-dominated homeland, large supplies of arms and munitions are believed to have smuggled into Ethiopia. Never has Italian rule popular among the Ethiopians, the first clear signs of a weakening in the Fascist grip will certainly be the signal for widespread and formidable uprisings among the natives, uprisings fully planned in advance. That energetic British military activity of an offensive nature begun along the Kenya and Danese frontiers can only suggest that these plans may now be matured, that the moment may at hand for the launching of serious effort to repeat in North Africa the tale of disarray which has befallen Mussolini Egypt and Albania. Washington Snapshots by James Preston If you stay in Washington long enough, you lose all sense of perspective. You begin to forget that there are millions of farmers in this country, tilling millions of acres of land. You forget all the miners and the lumbermen and fishermen, and everybody else hard at work producing the national wealth of this country. In short, you get in the same frame of mind as a lot of politicians. Your Washington reporter took a few days off last week and left the nation's capital in order to talk and listen to a lot of people who belong to a very important segment of our national economy. To be exact, that group was the manufacturers, and they were meeting in New York City last week at the Congress of American Industry. It was the 45th annual event of its kind, and when you consider the importance of industry in the present scheme of things, in the light of our national defense effort, that meeting takes on an added measure of importance. The theme of the Congress of American Industry this year was "Total Preparedness for America's Future." To it came industrial leaders from every part of the country, and from every type of business, large and small. They listened to a galaxy of distinguished speakers, a program such as has seldom been gathered under one roof, and they had a rare opportunity for discussion concerning the opportunities and the responsibilities of industry in the present world and domestic picture. It should be encouraging for Americans to hear at a time like this, with the world in its present chaotic and inflammable state, that these industrialists showed the seriousness of their intention by the very quality of these gatherings. Aside from talking to them as individuals, and learning how seriously they took their role as Legion Commander Will Visit County American Legion men of Orange county will be honored by a visit from Milo Warner, national commander, who is scheduled to be at Santa Ana on January 4. Plans are under way for a special celebration in honor of the national chief. Accompanying Warner will be William J. Farrell, state commander, and other state and national officials. All legion posts in the county will send delegations to Santa Ana for the meeting, to be held at noon at the legion hall in that city, it was said. Reservations for the luncheon must be made by January 2. The visit of Commander Warner will be the second time that a national commander of the legion has come to Orange county. Dan Doherty, in 1938, attended an evening meeting of Santa Ana post. that this is one of the last free lands on earth, and one of the last where scholarship can flourish. And when H. W. Prentis, jr., president of the National Association of Manufacturers, rose to remind these thousands of manufacturers that our civil liberties and our private enterprise system and our governmental form, representative democracy, are inseparable and stand or fall together, the truth of it was apparent and dramatic in the very fact of the meet-in gitself. It's a good idea to get out of Washington once in awhile, in order to see what the rest of the country is doing and thinking. Your reporter mentioned that fact before. He reiterates it in the light of what he saw and heard at the Congress of American Industry. The California Institute of Technology has no presidents. Its corporate papers do not call for one. It should be encouraging for Americans to hear at a time like this, with the world in its present chaotic and inflammable state, that these industrialists showed the seriousness of their intention by the very quality of these gatherings. Aside from talking to them as individuals, and learning how seriously they took their role as the men who must build the armaments to make this country strong, I could not but be impressed by the way in which they followed the speeches at this great meeting. Perhaps that was only natural, of course, for at the Congress of American Industry this year were gathered top-notch authorities from nearly every field of national life. The National Association of Manufacturers, which sponsors these meetings, had constructed its program with the very definite intention of "Total Preparedness for America's Future" on the part of all the industrialists who attended. Symbolic of the spirit in which this whole event was conducted was the appearance of William S. Knudsen and Dr. Will Durant as the main speakers. The former is a patriotic business man who has been drafted to help government in making the defense program a success. His presence emphasized the fact that business experience, in peace or in any emergency alike, is needed for national well-being. Dr. Will Durant, the other main speaker, brought another significant point to mind: A great American scholar, he naturally reminded many who were present Between the Headlines (Continued from Page 1) of France is now fully justisince a major attempt to hold colony in the face of much ter Italian forces would cf essity have entailed a division resources, weakening either the entrations in Egypt or those in Era. And this sacrifice would have been balanced by any factor. From the Anglctain Sudan and from Kenya itaneously a successful offenmight well bid fair to destroy and for all the Italian hold on northeastern corner of the Asian continent. It alone are the British countupon their own troops, for in figure of Haile Selassie, ded by Mussolini, they have a bly powerful ally, the emperEthiopia, once more officially gnized as such by the governof London, has for months working assiducially from his quarters on the Sudanese er. He is known to have esshed regular contacts with his non-dominated homeland, and supplies of arms and muniare believed to have been engled into Ethiopia. Over has Italian rule been clear among the Ethiopians, and first clear signs of a weakenin the Fascist grip will almost only be the signal for wideed and formidable uprisings against the natives, uprisings careplanned in advance. At energetic British military unity of an offensive nature has along the Kenya and Suse frontiers can only suggest these plans may now have eread, that the moment may be and for the launching of a us effort to repeat in NorthAfrica the tale of disaster has befallen Mussolini in Ethiopia.
