Good News For
Christmas Shoppers
With the closing of the war
and the rapid maturing of the
plans for demobilization of the
American army, the necessity
for conserving the labor sup
ply for war work has ceased to
exist. With it has passed the
need for refraining from pur
chasing a largely diversified
list of articles the demand for
which in time of war would
have interfered with the use of
laborers for important war in
dustries.
As a consequence of the new
order of things, G. D. Clark
son of the National Council of
Defense, has issued a state
ment in which he points out
the fact that curtailment of
Christmas buying is no longer
necessary as a war measure.
He also advocates a rapid re
turn to pre-war buying in or
der to restore normal business
conditions as quickly as possi
ble.
The revocation of the previ
ous request for a curtailment
of buying comes at a most op
| portune time. The Christmas
l season is the time of all times
when men. women and child
ren like to buy in order that
I they may give. They like to
| give because by giving, they,
bring joy to others. Some per
sons are able to give more than
others, and some are able to
give very little; but all like to
have some part in the general
sending of gifts at Chrismas
time.
Hence, the lifting of the ban
against peace-time Christmas
buying will mean a happier
Christmas both for those who
give and for those who receive.
The change in the plans of the
Council of Defense came in
time to enable the merchants
to lay in ample stocks in an
ticipation of the increased buy
ing. There is still reason, how
ever, for early buying by the
persons who want to have
their choice of the stocks.
Those who buy first will have
their pick, while those who
I purchase bist must take what
' is left.
RED CROSS XMAS
Christmas Drive for Member
ship Will Start Soon
It isthe desire of the govern
ment that every American,
man, woman anil child, shall
be enrolled by Christmas in
the Red Cross. The idea of
universal membership in the
society that has for its aim the
work of restoration, of healing
of aid to the wounded, the
homeless, the afflicted, sh uld
1»18 RED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEAL
appeal strongly to Americans.
There has never been a war
in which every citizen was so
required to take a part and
make a sa. rifice as in this war.
There has never been a war
in which the services of wo
men and even young children
have been so important. And
there has never been a war in
which the hatred of cruelty
land the eagerness to succor
the victims of cruelty were so
i passionately roused.
The American Red Cross is
the agency through which the
universal longing finds prac
tical expression. Now let the
expression be as universal as
the longing. Let every Ameri
can join the Red Cross and by
joining it contribute the price
>t' his subscription to the allev
iation of the miseries that the
war has wrought in France
land Belgium and Italy and Ser
bia and America.
The year 1919 will be the
year in which the American
Red Cross will reach the high
jest point in its achievement,
the year in which the need for
its ministering will be most
overwhelming. It can meet
the need only if it enters the
new year with the whole na
tion actively supporting its
work. Therefore, at the Red
Cross Christmas Roll Call let
everyone answer, “Here!”
