Uncle Gil is putting forth every effort to arrange for a free show for all Guidites and their friends to be held at the Ritz theatre. Uncle Gil is urging all Guidites to be kind and obedient to their parents in order that he will be able to make a good report to Santa Claus When he arrives on the morning of the 24th with all the nice things for good children, as be has already told Uncle Gil that he would not give any of the children whose parents mad a bad report for them, any of the toy, candies, or fruits, that he is bring ing from his toyland warehouse in the far North. So dear Guidites let's be nice, by observing the fol- I lowing '"don'ts"—Don't Stay out late at night. Don't fail to do what ever mother or father tells us to do. Don't take that which does not belong to us. Don’t fight. Don’t mark up our school books. Don’t fail to have a good lesson for your teacher. Bou t miss Sunday school. These are Santa Claus’ orders. -o Jokes Mrs. O'Toole (shopping): “I want to see some mirrors.’’ Floor Walker: ‘'Hand mirrors. Madam?” Mrs. O'Toole: “No, aoroe that you can *ee your face in.’’ Mr. Flatbush: ‘ She has a very difficult part in the new play." Mm. Flatbush: "Difficult? Why. she doesn't say a word.” Mr. Flatbush: "Well. isn’t that difficult for a woman. Groom: ‘‘How much do I owe you ?’’ Justice: ‘What do you think it's ■ worth? Groom: "Here’s a quarter! I’ve 1 een married twice before!" ■-o Famous Quotations He most l'ves who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best. Win hearts and you will have lmr.ds and purses. -o Who falls for the love of God shall rise as a star. The two noblest things are sweetness and light. Dost thou love life? Then do rot squander time. Dor that is the stuff life is made of. THE YOUTH BEHIND Someone will take your place iVhen you ayo gonej.'-' Will comers-you-to face the morn ing mail, -a ^ Hear the small talk, and bear the burden on, And in her care the venture will not fail. You may be brave and wise and quick and strong. You may command with courage and with grace, But one shall come when you have passed along, And serve with equal splendor in your place. t And she may see what you have never seen, May find new ways your feet have never trod. And she may go where you have never been, For, after all. the greatest of us plod. In all the throng you may not see Her face, Secure you seem and all your pros pects fair. But one there is who waits to take your place, Against your passing. Life has her there. —Anon. -o GAMES I What Am I?

An ancient and lovely custom is this singing of these lovely ctrols in our homes, churches, and schools and in the streets of our town and towns and cities. It harkens back to the days of old when the Yule iy and mistletoe gleamed among y and mistletoe gleamed among the Christmas candles, the boars head was paraded in grand pro cession and wassail songs made glad the joyful Christmas tide. Nearly two thousand years ago. the angel chorus sang on that first Christmas eve, ‘‘Glory be to God on high and on earth peace, good will to men.’’ was caroled the fields of Bethlehem. A carol, in its true meaning is a song in which a religious theme ir. treated in a familiar and festive manner. It was not until the 13th century that we find the beginning of the true Christmas carol and Italy is its birthplace. From Italy the carol spread to Spain, France. England ana Gei* many. During the Reformation, ( the true carols with their festive element disappeared to be replac ed later by the more sedate and devotional hymns. The beginning of the 18th cen tury marks the transition from the true carol to he more dignified and solemn Chrismas hymns. "O Come All Ye Faithful.” “While Shepards Watched Their Flocks by Night,'’ ‘Hark! the Her ald Angels Sing” and “Adeste Fi deles’’ belong to this period. The ISth century brought, “O Little Town of Bethlehem." and “Silent Night.” Thus the Christmas carois live n through the centuries. And so on this Christmas eve as we burn our Yuletidc candles and sing these beautiful old carols, let us rejoice that we are preserving idals and traditions which will be forever the heritage of everv Christian nation.
