CHRISTMAS BELLS
I heard the 'bells on Christmas
Day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words
repeat
Of Peace on earth, Good Will to
men!
I thought how, as the day had
come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken
song
Of Peace on earth, Good Will to
men!
And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no Peace on earth,"
I said;
"For hate is strong, and mocks
the song
Of Peace on earth, Good Will to
men."
Then pealed the bells more loud
and deep;
"God is not dead, nor doth he
sleep!
The wrong shall fail, the right
prevail,
With Peace on earth, Good Will
to men!"
Till, ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night
to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
Of Peace on earth, Good Will to
men!
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
Food For Thought
Under the head .of "Food For
Thought", the following editorial
from the New York Times appeared
in the November 200th issue of the
Pennsylvania Defense Council News.
We are passing it on as food for
thought for Alabamians:
"Most Americans are resigned, if
not cheerful, under the restrictions
imposed by the war upon their pur-
suit of happiness. Some complain-
ing is heard, nevertheless. There is
murmuring at the scarcity of such
things as cigarettes, whisky, chew-
ing gum, nylon hosiery and touring
gasoline. Yet these "sufferings"
could be worse. If we lived in Great
Britain they would be a whole lot
wo~·se.
"Consider some of the wartime
constraints the British endure, as
listed by The Outpost, Amer.ican
publication over there. A citizen
.of that land can be prosecuted for
setting out' milk bottles that ha;ve
not been washed; for throwing away
a .§crap of paper even as small as
a bus ticket; for tossing a crust of
bread into the garbage bin, for-
getting that food costs sailors' lives.

"An outstanding accomplishment
in the war effort in the community

clared Haygood Paterson, Director
of the State Defense Council in pre-
senting a Service Award to the
Montgomery County High School at
Ramer at an impressive ceremony
in the school chapel, December 7th.
Director Paterson congratulated
the student body on the well round-
ed program outlined by the Ramer
Student Defense Council for the
current year in cooperation and sup-
port of the war effort through civil-
ian defense activities. "Such a pro-
gram," he said, "carried out by
every school in the country would
do much toward shortening the
war."

Superintendent of Education ad-
dressed the assemblage briefly on

to the fact that the schools of

first in the entire country to adopt.
