Giving Gifts Since the Wise Men gave of their treasures to the Christ Child, giving has been part of the tradition of Christmas. The idea of gifts as homage dates from even earlier times, when kings demanded special tribute from their subjects during holiday seasons.

Busses will make three ipouhd trips daily. v Giving to celebrate a happy time was a familiar part of many pagan festivals. The Romans honored Saturn, their god of agriculture, with a winter festival called the Saturnalia. During this joyous feast, they exchanged gifts -- wax candles, clay dolls and various trinkets. When these pagan customs of exchanging gifts were transferred to the celebration of the birth of Christ, church leaders added a new idea; selfless giving. Through the ages, giving to help the less fortunate has been a special tradition of Christmas. McHINRY • £sy May your Christmas be filled With the warmlh of good che&ygqod fellowship!

John found a remarkable change in his outlook in just 30;days by completing his COMPLIMENT CLUB prdject. It can add new zest to your, life and win you unbelievable popularity! Meanwhile, you will be putting the Golden Rule into effective daily action! So send for the booklet below. By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE H-570: John V., aged 20, is a student at Anderson College. "Dr. Crane," he exulted, "about 3 hours agocl gave my 90th compliment! "I had obtained you COMPLIMENT CLUB booklet quite a while earlier, but only last month did I decide I was going to pay the three compliments per day for the 30-day period, or die in the attempt. "Sometimes it actually took me almost till midnight to get that third compliment across my lips. "But I have already noticed a marked improvement in the morale of a chronically pessimistic relative of mine. "She has begun to take a new interest in life. Andlpersonally have entered new areas of positive living. . - "In fact, life has sometimes approached being terribly good and tremendously valuable. "But it was a strenuous task to make sure I didn't falter in offering my three sincere compliments per day. How many finish this project?" PERSISTENCE PAYS John is right in saying it is no easy job to join my COMPLIMENT CLUB. Yet all it involves is to pay a sincere bit of praise every day to 3 different people - and keep it up for 30 days! Yet at least 90% fall by the wayside. They forget. A Judge's wife in Ohio once told me she was going along famously for 17 days, when she suddenly realized she had offered only 2 people a bit of praise. It was after dinner that night and she had already praised her husband, so she wasn't entitled to record 2 complimej^s to him in one day. Being a resolute woman, she put on her hat and coat, after which she walked down to the neighborhood drugstore. She finally heard a girl clerk give a neat little sales talk to another customer about some toothpaste. ; Sethis Ji*fee»s wifepeidthe girl an honest coTTipHmeiaf thereon and thus kept her record intact. She firfshedthe30-dSyexp@i|p< iment on schedule, but she a]ipi' most lost out on that 17th dsy. Sister Benita, at St. Italy's School in Pennsylvania, has bean using this COMPLIMENT CLUB; project in class for a number of years and I have signed certificates for scores of her pupils who have faithfully com* pleted the 30-day experiments Colleges, churches and bust* ness offices have also launched the COMPLIMENT CLUB as ft group project for extroverting shy, "Worry Wart*' personal* ities. It is superb mental medicine, too, for it gives you new zest for living at the same time ttai ft also buoys up the morale and courage of many deserving coworkers who merit a lit of praise but seldom get it. Compliments are so unusual that most recipients don't even know how to accept them, sothey gurgle or blush in pleased confusion. Others try ro^ay you e compliment right back again, while another type will say, M0hi, you're just fishing lot* * quarter!" f 1 But complimentsbuild insincere friendships. And if the age or romantic situation is appropriate, a wedding ring may follow.
