"Santa Claus" must travel in modern style; that is taken for grant- ed, but we are quite sure that humanity is doomed to suffer war and misery until the 'end of time. Is such thinking up-to-date? In the circle of your acquaintance how few persons there are who would choose war and misery, and what is more tothe. point-- how few there are who 0 would willingly inflict Fe these causes for sor- row upon their fellows. % We must remember that humanity is much """ 'the same the world GC} over in these respects --they neither wish to , |+suffer war and misery | vor inflict them. It is only if fear, and greed, ard pride are stirred, that their true wishes are brutalized, and they consent todowhat naturally is repulsive. Evidently it-is time for the majority to rule. If humanity must fight, let the fight be against disease and death---not to cause "them. Even that fight will give ample scope for heroic action. ~The Staff of the Port Perry Star Wishes You A Merry Christm { I} \ Ey, \\ NL NN for NS ag 0 HR me o nN S ET Zam 2 Pa CN a Va et A Oo Ae candies oe Happy New Year aa , E: § 15 * ) Ry
