Off To A Good Start This . Year’s Santa Pals

‘ One thing about Santa Pals, corresponding with Sarita Linus, 1S that none of the children see them in the flesh. Pals are anonymous so far as the little ones are concerned, they only realizie that Santa. Claus is a reality, made pos- sible by the Good ‘Spirit which prevails round about the twenty-fifth of December.

It may be old-fashioned for sophisticated grown-ups to play the part of Santa, but half the joy of life would be lost were it not‘ that- at least once a. yearyan opportunity was given io forget ourselves in thinking of others-espe- cially of the less fortunate little ones.

N0 Dnrent with even a modiceum of parental love in their hear-ts would dream of disillusloning their little ones -0n the subject of the reality of the bearer of gifts which mysteriously arrive on Christmas Eve. At night the chil- dren retire to rest in faith and confidence that while they sleep a Saint, known to them as Claus, will find his way Silmehow, if not down the chimney, at least through the key hole into their home and fill their stockings, or equivalent ivith gifts reminiscence of those borne by the Wise Men from the East. A

And when they came into the house they saw the young child with Mary his mother... .and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold and frankincense and myrrh.

That is our precedent for Christmas giving to chil- dren, and the practice has been continued down through the ages, only it is not always practicable for the Wise- Men of today personally to, visit and leave their gifts- so an opportunity is given them to make their contributions through the Santa‘ “Pal"‘fiind for' the little ones who, through no fault of their own, may otherwise be over- looked. lie gives twice who gives quickly.

We were irreatly heartened and encouraged yesterday morning to receive from that great and good friend of little children, His Hon. Lieut. Governor Col. G. D. DeBlois, a cheque for $50 accompanied “with best wishes” “God bless you? respond all the Tiny Tims in our midst.

Meagre Reports Tell of Major Catas- trophe in Cagayan Valley.

MANILA, Dec. b-(Tuesdayl- Philippine army authorities re- ported today that "thousands of persons were carried away" in a flood which swept the rich Cagay- an River valley in northern Luzon Island.

Manilans said the official army report, which statcd that. “thousands of p650!!! were mis- ing", indicated a catastrophe over- shadowing rtny in the history of the Islands.

Reports from the military com- mander oi Isabela Province, in northwest Luzon, said “the greatest flood in the history" of the ls- lands, hit the valley Dcc. 4 at four o'clock in the morning.

Towns inundated

He said at least 54 towns were inundated and expressed fear scores of others were deluged.

“Thousands of persons," the commander reported, “were car- ried away as the flood waters swept toward Aparri and the sea."

All lines of communications were disrupted in the region; highways were washed out of use.

The commander said no word had been received here from the region of Ilagan, and it was fear- ed many were lost in that district.

"The toll of life is believed en- ormous," the commander said.

LONDON, Dec. 7—(Cl’)-—A statement offering “to “ivithdrziw forthwith from :1 situation that has been ren- dered hoih unhappy ltild untenable" ivais issued by Mrs. Wallis Simpson at Cannes tonight after‘ Prime Blinister Baldwin had declared in the House of Commons that the Government was giving ihe Kin): “the fullest (rpporiuniiy of weighing the decision.”

A definite easing of ihe situation became apparent dur-

ing the day as public sentiment toward allowing the King as much time‘ as he wishes to think the matter over became increasingly widespread. Fort Belvedere, the country estate near Windsor at which l-lis hlnjesty remained throughout the day, was quieter than at any time during the past six day's.

At eight p.m. tonight a score or more journalists were called to the salon of ihe Hotel Majestic, on the seafront at the fashionable Riviera resort, where Lord Brownlow, gentleman-in-waiiing to the King, who accompanied Mrs. Simpson on her journey from England, was waiting. Clearing his throat and adjusting ii. pair of horn-rimmed, spectacles, he announced:
