Highland Park Women In Charge Of Luncheonâ€"Sale ~ > ~,, The Woman‘s Society of Chrisâ€" tian Service of the North Shore Methodist church, Gleneoe, will ~h@ve a Christmas luncheon partyâ€"â€" Here in the southwest, the traâ€" dition of ‘lighting the way for Joseph and Mary has become comâ€" mercialized, so it seems to: me. Not only are the business streets and shops brilliant in glittering tinsel, but the luminarios have invaded every home, shrub, tree and garden wall. The Chamber of Commerce is positively bursting with pride, for the citizens â€"are vying with one another for the most splendid display. A prize‘is offered for the most elaborate demonstration. Christmas, 1949, In Albuquerque, N. M. Dear Millie: Perhaps our city is no different than any other. Perhaps I should consider the great advantage of progress, as it is called. Perhaps I‘m dated in my viewpoint, but I wonder if our little old . planet isn‘t spinning too fast away from the real meaning of Christmas. I refused to join in the mass parade of. cars motoring up and down the residential streets, so votes could be cast on their proâ€" fuse splendor, Everywhere were lights, until the glory of the heavens was blotted out by elecâ€" trical displays. Because I live in this era I do try to realize that by such elaborâ€" ation money is kept in circulation, tradesmen benefitted and the standard of living raised. But, Millie. I wonder if Joseph and hln would have heen welcome to rest in any of the prizeâ€"seeking dwellings. s T Unable to find the peace I sought in all this modern interâ€" pretation of Christmas, I wanâ€" dered down to the Mountain road. Most of the Mexican settlement was dark. The women were probâ€" ably in church. The men, with holiday wages in their pockets were no doubt celebrating in their own way. Gufded by a flickering light, which I found came from a crude candle placed in an old tomato can with the red and green label still on it, I came to a cleanâ€"swept sandy door yard. Quietly I crept to the window of the adobe hut. Thursday, Dec. 7, 1950 bake and gift sale_ on Tuesday, December 12, at the church on Hazel ° and . Greenleaf avenues, Glencoe.

Electrical Gift |@f * || _ Conception Church In the pale light I saw, lying exâ€" hausted among old ragged quilts on an iron"bed, a small child. A woman knelt in prayer beside the tiny form. & I turned away, bafflied by conâ€" flicting impressions of progress and poverty, and looked up to the satin sky where brilliant lemonâ€" colored stars were shining a Chrisâ€" tmas message to the earth. Aroused, perhaps, by my intruâ€" sion, the child became convulsed by a spasmâ€"of coughing. The woâ€" man picked up a rag or towel and wiped the baby‘s lips, But, conversely, a woman‘s view Has motives grim and stony. She grabs the man without ado. Her goal is matrimony.
