Of The Stocking

Are Few Sadder Individ- In The World Than A Child Whom Santa Has Foréotten — None This Year.

A little poem which we rc- produce below recently came to our notice. We feel sure

that if you read it you will be impelled to "adopt" some of the children on our list or send in u. contribution to the Empty Stocking Fund-to become l Bantu- Pal. ~ The poem, entitled "The Tragedy of the Empty Stocking." is u fol- lows: Oh, listen friends. for n moment please, Let your thoughts be mine for a while Till I tell you how you may help to change The tears of a child to a smile. It's tragic enough in the best of times To sec grief on the face of a. child, For sorrow and tears are no part of these dears, Tho‘ oft’ t4; their hearts are be- guiled.

But whatever their lot in this life may be, Y A God-given right to a happy heart Is theirs’ in enjoy. in thishectlc life. We can help them to it, if we play our part. let Sarita fall Christmas morn, Tho‘ poor and needy the kiddies be. Let us help him all in our power we can To fill their stockings or Christmas tree.

LONDON, Dec. 12—(Canadlan Press OabIeJ-The British Govern- ment is expected to draft a fourth war debt note to the United states at a Cabinet meeting tomorrow.

While the Government declined to reveal what tone the new note will affect. a hint of its probable contents was seen in a speech made by Neville Chamberlain, Chancel- lor oi the Exchequer, at Birming- ham, in which he said the United Kingdom did not insist now upon acceptance of its reservation to payment contained in last night's note, but would ace that they were taken into account in future dis- cussions aiming at war debt revis- ion. Mr. Chamberlain said also the payment due Thursday would not affect the musanne reparations agreements which postponed Ger- man payment to the former allied countries.
