"What do you want Christmas to bring to you and gran'daddy'I" That was the query our daughter- ln-liiw, Karolyn, Rob's wife, and mother to Jamie and Case. put to us today, half in Jest it appeared but we suspected wholly in earn- est. And ”What do you want Christmas to bring?" her words return to us now in the quiet of evening. to have us consider them more closely. Perhaps We should ponder first over Jamey probable reply, but then how should we know this, since it is not given to hu- mans to look with much degree of certainty into the depths of anoth- er's heart? However, we have a no- tion, born of,our long association with him, that if.James were to be granted an especial favor, or indeed any one of the season, it would he that peace might spread her bencficent wings over the world so that nations would "learn war no more" but abide together in sisterly love and respect.

sometimes we have seen James have his wish - we have been with him when dreams have come true. We have seen a bare field blossom under his care .- a new building rise. . . .an old one repaired. And watching him look upon a calf iiew-come, a dainty foal, a dozen piglets along a broad bosom, a tiny lamb opening its eyes to the world about. . .or above ,all these things, when one after another the grandchildren came - Jamie and Gage, granddaughter and especially, though certainly not more beloved. Mackle in the house across the lane "here and now" we said "James had had a wish granted, a dream come true. "Yet what would we want of the Christ- mastide now dawning. besides peace in the world? Just to know that families were happy in their forgathering, and that no shadows thrust themselves within the fes- tlve season.

I I I

And for ourself. what. else should we desire of Christmas? Certainly not some gift from the family. which would require a sacrifice on their part in any way. in the hec- tic rush and excitement of the season. Not that we should not like to be remembered by them. On the contrary we should be dis- appolnted to know that our name had not been in their minds among others. But only to receive wee items of buying which tell more plainly than words "I bought this -or made it. Just for YOU!" But past and beyond any gifts in fetching wrappings, we do want other things of the Day. We want most of all a White Christmas-a fall of snow prior to the Day, light and feathery. to fcstoon tree and rail and to lie lightly along the fields. And a frost on the eve of it, to lend sparkle and enchant- merit to the morning.

I I I

We should like too, to come to it in a spirit of reverence. remember- ing that the occasion was not man- made, but that both heaven and earth conspired to bring it about. ”An angel... ii heavenly host. . a star . . . shepherds - and a babe in a manger. "We should like -but that must wait.

"Two thousand years ago the star was bright. e And wise men journeyed humbly where it led. Shepherds came softly the wide. blue night To find the young Child in His strawlald bed.

Two thousand years -. and still men grope and stray.

And eat their .meiiger bread in bitterness.

The strong still sin against the weak. The gay

through

Still leave the broken stranger comfortless. And yet at Christmas, carols

clutch the heart, Shepherds abide in silent again; The nlleluia echoes still Their promise to the world of men. Faith will not be denied, and still We are Earthis wistful Magi, following the star." Until Monday - Good-night. . . .

MAY CAUSE MENTAL AND PHYSICAL SLOWNESS

I have written several times about children who were backward at school. were considered dull in fact, whose backwardnesa was caused by poor eyesight in some and by partial loss of hearing in others. The correction of these de- feels enabled these youngsters to keep up with other children their age.

There are. however. some child- ren who did not have ii. good start mentally and physically. who were backward in teething, sitting. walking. talking, mental develop- mentment. growth in height. al- ways constipated and with tem- perature of body below normal. These conditions are due to an underactive thyroid gland. and may go unnoticed by parents and physician because the weight of the child may be normal.

In Medical Clinics of North America. Drs. J. P. Bronstein and K. S. shadakharaffa state there is further need for fuller or more complete investigation of these cases, which should include the usual metabolism test and also the alterations in metabolism (building up and tearing down of the body processes). blood cholesterol. cre- atine in urine. iodine in the blood. and the bony development. ”Iodine determination: may prove to be the most desirable index of the ex- act condition preseiil." they write.

There are a number of these cases in which the physician, be- cause of the slow growth or under- size of the child, prescribes "growth" hormone instead of starting thyroid extract in the early stages of the condition. Thy- roid extract in small dozes causes sharp rises in the rate at which the body processes work; so sharp and rapid are these rises that if not watched the patients metabol- L111 rale instead of being below normal may rise above normal in a short time. Accordingly. Drs. Bronstein an-d Shadaharaffa do not rely enlircly on the basal mel- abolism rate but closely investigate the general condition of the child

-For Tomorrow

AN intriguing state of affairs prevails, with the feelings, emo- tions and im -ination It the root of all idea and inclination. While ideals and aspirations may be held in line. with pleasant and profit- able intercourse, It the some time if idealism, notions. idiosyncrasis are permitted to dominate there could be peculiar involvements. In developing plans do not go to ex- tromes or "pipe dream."

I! It In Your Birthday

Those whose birthday it is are liable to base their operations and activities on feelings and emotions rather than on practical sense and accepted methods of procedure. Fancy, imagination. and strange inner urges may run riot. and to the detriment of projects calling for sane and balanced judgment. Queer notions. ideals or excess emotions could lead to disappoint- ment and unprofltitble alliances. Shun extremes, emotional decis- ions. lnirlguea.

A child born on this day is likely to base its acts and aspira- tions on an emotional rather than ii commonsense plan of action. This is to its detriment. for work- aday projects or ambitions.

Day After T0lll0I'L0w

The astrological forecast is H contradictory one, holding promise for some form of practical init- iative and engagements but also a static and disturbing development difficult to hurdle. Fresh plans. new projects. high ambitions seem on the verge of accomplishment when a sudden twist or a post- pone may deler but not put off decisively long-range benefits.

If It In Your Birthday

Those whose birthday it is may have ii. strange combination of ex- periences in which plans and as- pirations of major slgnldcaiice seem to take on conflicting turns or queer aspects. Most promising plans and ventures seem to thrive. with every indication of growth. expansion and scope. with perhaps cooperation from elders, employers. or other sources of promotion who may intervene. However. such de-
