HARMONIZING CHRISTMAS
It is going to be hard to harmon
ize Christmas to our present world
J I
condition. War In China. War in |
Spain. All Europe hanging around j
the brink of war. All
ched on a preparedness against war
that makes former programs look
like child stuff. Hate, prejudice,*
revenge, suspicion, murder filling
the mind of multitudes. Selfishness
and greed on a riot. If you can
reconcile a song of “Peace on
earth’’ to all that you can stand
up beside the master optimists of.
all time.
I sat in the church Sunday list
ening to the children’s choir sing
ing:: “It came upon a midnight
clear, the glorious song of old"
The candles were lighted on the
altar and behind the cross was a
soft white light. There was a peace
ful atmosphere about the little j
church and for the moment it
seemed hard to believe that outside
* there could be so much of confus
ion and doubt in men’s minds about
I our world.
Recently a man addressing one;
of our service clubs stated that
Christianity had failed. I thought
of that as I listened to the Christ
mas song and watched the cross
The cross is symbolic of love,
sacrifice and devotion to truth. The
only failure to these qualities is
our failure to try them. Christiani
ty, or the Christ way, among na
tions ha& never yet been tried. We
have not had. thus far. any states
men who have dared try any oth
er way than away that includes
force and threat. Man has built his
own programs and insisted on his
own way and the only inclusion the!
Lord has had it them ia to be call-1
ed upon to save man from the es- 1
sects of his own creation. Thus far
the* nations of the world have not
taken Christianity seriously. They i
do not want God messing up their
programs but they want His de
liverance if things get out of con
i trol.
The success of Christmas this
year will result from the fact that
thousands over the world who still
love God, or GOODNESS, will meet
! again and renew their faith in the
message which the angels sang
over Bethlehem on that first
Christmas morning, nearly 2000;
years ago. It will be a faith in an
untried way, away that still off
ers the nations of the world a sol
ution to the predicament they find
themselve s in.
PROGRESS MADE
Although the situation looks bad
just now progress ha s been made.
There are really more constructive
things to point to than otherwise.
. in fact there are so many fine
, things the human family has at
tained that the few remaining ugly
things seem the more monstrous.

THE COOLIDGE EXAMINER
It is heartening to know' that I
war is considered a horror in the
minds of most people. There have
been times w'hen this was not true.
And although the nations of the
world still prepare for war, at heart
; ’.he people feel that it does not
rightfully belong in the program of
j our modern times. The Christmas
message of “Peace on earth’’ is
recognized more than ever today as
, an objective that must be attained
—and that is something. After all
the most difficult ideal 3 toward
which w’e aspire are those which
require the most time for realiza
tion. Maybe four or six thousand
years have not been enough time
in which to outgrow the fighting
instinct. Jesus’ own fjacrifice for
the ultimate ideal state of things is j
proof that he realized it could not
come as one great convulsive ev
ent. The success of Christmas this
year is that it still holds before
the human family a promise of
something that can and must be.
We are of the opinion that never
before has the human family felt
so much in need of the fulfulment
of that promise.
QUIET ROOM
A noise-proof room in which a
dollar bill, dropped, will make a
noise on an inch-thick carpet is the
product of the General Electric in
Schnectady. The room was con
structed for the purpose of testing
out ‘ noiseless’’ machines. There
will be no attempt made to put the
quiet room on the commercial mar
ket.
They would not sell. People, a«
much as they talk about it, do not
■ want quiet generally speaking. Few
people can stand to be alone. The
| percentage of those who love soll
j tude is indeed small. In our present
day set-up a noise is a necessity
because we have never learned to
do without it.
The folks in the cities who endure
I the most noise , who think they
want quiet the most, are always
the most miserable when they get
it. The constant roar of street
traffic, passing cars, the bla-bla of
the radio —one may go thru the day
thinking that he does not notice it
I but take it away and the world
seems, empty, proving he does.
W e take the atitude that noise 1
is a necessity. Wasting your breath
to say to children: “Quiet please”.
And to talk to our American youth
about being quiet, or still, is like
talking to a worm about flying.
Most folk, when they talk of
wanting to get away from the nois.-
of things, mean that they want a
change of noise. It is wonderful to
exchange the roar of city traffic
for the murmur of a soft breeze in
the trees on a hill side. But most
folk wouldn’t want that to be perm
anent.
My brother worked in the moun
tains of North Carolina for a few
| years where he was never out of
the sound of running water in the
\ the city he couldn’t sleep unless
he left the water in the bath-tub
j running.
You have heard folk say fchey
just had to get out of town and
away from the noise and then,
getting out, wail that things were
too quiet. So what?
SUCIDE ROOM
And while we are talking about
room s here in another idea —not
I vet developed. Last week Ralph G.
Clifford committed suicide in Sacra
mento. He had turned a room into
a lethal gas chamber. He left a
note suggesting that “a pubi c letha 1
gas chamber be placed in each
largely populated center where 1
those of unfit, who so desire, might
terminate their misery.’’
Now that isn’t a bad idea. From
too far back to count a certain
number of people every year have
| decided that life wasn’t w’orth the
living and in order to get out of ’t
have had to us e various and sundry
ways of self-extermination. Some
of them have been exceedingly in
convenient and painful. Why not
have this roof for the convenience
of those who don’t want to stay
here .Might charge them a fee.
The thing would soon pay for itself.
And it would be lots easier to go;
to the gas chamber and find a dead
body than to stumble on it out
somewhere you were not expecting
to.
After all, if a fellow doesn't
want to live, doesn’t like the place,
and wants to get away from it all
we haven’t any right to make him
stay. We shouldn’t want
hanging around who do not want
to hang around. So to keep them

COUNCIL ROOM
Os course, right next to the gas
room there would be a council room
where a man with strong and
practical persuavise powers would
ilk tilings over with the dissatis
ied one. Maybe he could show him
he was wrong or mistaken. But it
not, “Ok, go to it.”
HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS
Every once in a w r hile we get
1 a new slant on the conduct of the
human family. Last week a Miami
1) und bus leaving Philadelphia
wrecked in a fog and injured twen
ty-one persons. The driver was
'barged with assault and battery
by automobile. Assult and battery—
. e have usually thought of the
person as having something in his
I Is when he attempted assault
and battery. Possibly it isn’t
j -(retching a point to take the at
'it’d that the driver had hold of
! the wheel of the bus and therefore
he bus was in his hands. No charge
j was made against the fog.
In another car accident a women
wap-, killed. Her death resulted
when the car in which she was rid
ing 1 ft the highway and overturn-J
ed. The driver said he went to;
sleep. No charge wag filed aginst
him. The press item stated that 1
the party had traveled a long dis
tance without stopping for rest.
Drivers of trucks are limited on j
hour a for driving People being kill-j
ed from accidents resulting from j
sleeping drivers of private cars is j
not an uncommon' occurance. If
a law limits a driver of a bus or;
truck to drive only a certain dist
ance why should it n®t limit the
driver of a private car? A sleepy
driver is a potential mirdere on the
highway whether he is in a bus,
truck or a private car.

I FARMER I
SWALLOWS HORSE \
Without doubt, one of the most
astounding happenings of 1938 oc- 5
curred last Monday afternoon about 2
3:30 when a local farmer living y
southwest of Coolidge swallowed t>
live horse. A feature of the feat 5
that made it more difficult was 2:
4 the fact that the particular horse Z
> was fully harnessed, which still 7
y would not have seemed so surpris- f
ing but for the fact that it was 2
I double harness and the other horse 2
had to be swallowed, too. The re
port of the incident attracted so
much attention that a special in
terview was sought with the prin- 2
cipal in the affair who readily ad- J
£ mitted the truth of the report and 4
stated that it really w'ould have 2
5 been no trick at all had the team 5
y 7.
y not been hitched to a trailer load- 7
y ed with cotton, and what had both- jg
ered him the m-ost was that he had
f, been busy ever since picking the 2 :
5 cotton out of his teeth. If any one 7
I£ doubts this story, we can show 4
S’ him the precise spot the horse wag 2
on Sunday the day before he was 2
swallowed on Monday. 7
Now, personally, we have never 4
swallowed a horse. We have never If
swallowed even a burro. But (not
£ wishing to brag at all) we have to
£ admit that we have done something 4
just as miraculous, attention com- If
pelling and imagination staggering. '■s
y We have brought to the town of
y Coolidge the most wonderful as-
Isortment of givable usable and en- 2
joyabe giftg that has ever been
assembled under one roof in this 4
city. This fine selection of fina 4
gifts is not an accident. We have 2
visited the large markets of the 2
country, have exhausted the unus
ual sources of supply of the Unit- 4]
ed States including the large im- /
porting houses, and are now show- 2
ing a line of gifts that we take a 2
lot of pride in showing. f
Don’t think becau.se these gifts
are fine, attractive and wonderfully 2:
appealing that they are expensive. £
This is a point on which we pride p:
ourselves. Our merchandise is ex- y
tremely well selected. For those 2
who wish to spend 25e for a dis- 4-
tinctive and unusual gift, or who 2
wish to spend a great many dol- 2
lars, or, for those whose wishes are
anywhere in between, we know they 5j
will find many items here to
please them. 2
And —it’s* going to be a horse on 2
you if you fail to see this wonder- V
ful selection of exquisite merchan- p\
dise before the choicer pieces are 2
y gone. 2
