Pont Editorially Speaking B Quarter-Century Ago, Pearl Harbor It was a quarter of a century ago that Japanese bombers zeroed in over Pearl Harbor, dealing a death blow to the United States’ Fleet wnd precipitating the en- trance of this Nation into Wold War II. - Young boys who rushed to thé defense of their coun- | try on December 7, 1941, are now middle-aged men, put- ting children through college, making monthly payments on their mortgages, deploring the rising cost of education and the consequent increased millage on real estate, be- ginning to go bald as befits leaders in their community. Those who came back. There were those who did not return. The Dallas Post, for long after the war was over, carried in the upper lefthand corner of each issue, names of the boys who had been killed in action and those who had died in the service. During the war, the Post also carried names of those missing in action and those who were prisoners of war. Immortalized in the bound copies of the paper are these names: Richard Wellington Cease, January 29, 1942, the first area boy to be killed in action.

That concludes the roster of those who were killed in action, on the land and on the sea and in the air. It takes into no account the wreckage of human life which resulted in shattered bodies, and filled the Veterans hospitals. A list of wounded would have filled pages. For each boy who was killed in action, a two-column cut was printed in the Dallas Post. These cuts are on hand, in a special file. Most of the boys who went into the service were pictured in the home town paper. Their cuts, also, are on file. They looked young and in love with life, all of them. Some looked grave, some of them adventurous, some of them homesick, before they had ever caught the scent of battle. The ones who came back have aged. The ones who died will be forever young. * * * (He was captain of the It's A Dirty Trick Students are welcome at the Back Mountain Memo- rial Library. They are welcome to take notes on all the material they can find in encyclopedias or other volumes which they may need for reference. But when students rip pages from encyclopedias, this action is beyond the pale. There must have been heavy assignments on Shakes- - peare at the local high schools. witness. To tear out and carry off pages from an encyclopedia which is provided for reference work, and. provided for free, is not only to commit an act of theft, but to deprive another student of rhaterial which he must consult in order to carry out an assignment.

If you are in your teens, you remember the halcyon days when you believed in Santa Claus, and the sense of utter loss when the scales fell from your eyes. You heard your parents conferring in whispers, sure that you were asleep, stuffing your stocking, arranging presents around the tree, keeping up the age-old myth, and you went along with the pleasant deception, never letting on that your faith had been shat- tered. WE i At least, you comforted yourself, all lthe other little boys and ] girls were in the same boat. They'd find out, sooner or later, and you'd see to it that they didn’t find out through you. You were developing responsibility. ’ If you are in your twenties, you will remember back throug haze of distance how it was in your teens at Christmas time. How could you ever been so young? “Stand still, now, Susie, while I brush ‘your hair. And do you have your lunch money? There's the kindergarten bus.” If you are in your thirties, you are buying G.I. Joe for your small son, and ordering a corsage for your older son to give to a girl at the high school dance. If you are in your forties, you have seen your children shoot ‘up toa tremendous height. There is still a teen-ager at home, but - the older boys are in college, and you are getting ready to welcome them home for Christmas. There will be utter confusion, and after they have gone back. to their studies, there will be an almost unbearable silence except for that last high school boy. : There is a wedding in the air. In June, perhaps? How can anything so young be contemplating the responsibilities of parenthood ? Were you ever that young ? If you are in the fifty-plus bracket, you've welcomed a grand- child or so. He has climed to the top of the black walnut whatnot and fallen with a crash, bringing with him a cherished i antique cranberry glass. You don’t think of the cranberry glass. You think how lucky you are that while you are baby-sitting the children, there is only i] only one tiny scratch to mark the event. There are other cranberry § glasses. n 3 If you are in your sixties, your grown-up children are Swit to packaged mixes, more convenient, and you reflect upon hd mother used to roll out piecrust instead of patting buttered crumbs into a. pie-plate, whipping up something out of a carton, and slipping the result into the refrigerator to chill. And very tasty, too. If you are in your seventies, you are locking back a long way at an earlier and simpler Christmas, when presents were home-made, leaning "heavily toward embroidered pot-holders, scalloped pen- wipers, a ‘new shimmy with hand-crotched lace, (Grandma, what's 3 a shimmy?), and a Christmas tree festooned with cranberries and 3 popcorn alternating on a string. “Under the tree ‘is a little garden, snowy cotton hills merging improbably with green sawdust, tiny dolls coasting down the slope to a pond where swans float on a mirror. And on the mantelpiece are the three camels, against a back- ground of fresh fir boughs, following the star to the manger where the Babe is lying, shepherds adoring, lambs bowing their heads, cattle standing drowsily by, a father and a mother and a child, the eternal triangle of love and hope and happiness. For no matter how times change and customs change and chil- dren grow up and go away from home, the Manger remains, an eternal verity. The Manger. - Shorn of all the artificial trappings, the Mamyger. . Christmas carols fall on the still night air, the old familiar hymns and the jingling of bells. Bands of youngsters go from! house to house, lifting their voices. There is the incense of cedar logs in the fireplace, a reminder of i a Christmas long ago, when Father kindled the Christmas blaz i and Mother gathered the children around the piano. p i And the solemn hour when Father opened the family Bible 9 and read, “And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped a oo him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there ! i t was no room for them in the Inn.” ) X ¥ ¥ | Safety Valve A THANK-YOU Dear Mrs. Risley, ; Thank you very much for send- ing The Dallas Post to our son in Vietnam.
