Who has not heard the saying, "Absence Makes the Heart (Irow Fonder." It's older than I am and I have tarried here a few years. Some
cynical individual said, "Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder of Somebody else,' and he may have had reason for his cynicism. The flay
ing holds good and is true, nevertheless and notwithstanding. Many and many a reader of this page will remember when far removed from home
and friends, how the heart was gladdened by tidings from loved ones. And when the Natal day came round joyous Easter, Merry Cliristmas,
- how the little giftling from friends far away warmed the cockles of the heart. Yes, dear reader, we have been there, and we know all about
it. Now then, that's the justification for tho headline. You know and we know PRESENTS PLEASE ABSENTS. What if the delightful
custom is abused. What if there are some who are doing away with the habit, they may have a good reason. What if your income has been
slightly reduced. All the more reason why you should not depart from normal custom this yenr. Don't you realize that if. you and others
commence curtailing it only aggravates the situation. Just as important to avoid hysteria as it is not to rock the boat.
