DON'T BLOW THE WHISTLE
Do you remember Lincoln’s story
about the little steamer with the
big whistle? Every time they
tooted the whistle it blew off so
much steam that the boat stopped
running. That's the trouble with
lots of people today. If they would
only use their energy to drive the
paddle wheel of opportunity instead
of eternally blowing the whistle of
selves going up the stream of suec-
failure wouldn't have a chance in
craft.
That annual, easily forgettable
need, next year’s auto license, is

Me attention to this important matter.
ile there has been some re-
thousands of motorists are |

going to delay until the |
|

ie
v and when their licenses
t be issued “while you wait” |
to cuss.
the thing to do is for |
of the state to make |
ation now. There is no |
on that any respite will be
ed delinquent motorists after
uary 1. None should be. Ample.
notice has been given. The auto |
division has been ready for a long |
time to issue the licenses. If}
part of the public chooses to ig |
nore the opportunity, they will get |
no sympathy if after the first of]
the year, they are arrested for |
carrying antiquited license plates.
THE COAL STRIKE
From what we can learn about
the situation in the anthracite coal |
district, there is absolutely no" oc-
casion for a strike at this time.
Seemingly the miners are determ- |
ined to get just a little more than
their share and as they put it, they
are smaking an effort to “get. it]
while the getting is good.”
But here is the consumer’s side. |
He can buy coal and pay any |
price so long as his earning capa-
city is ample. But it appears now
as though he is spending about all!
he can afford, for coal. When any-
thing gets beyond one’s purse,
what are the consequences? He
does the next best thing.
That is exactly what is being
done here and at many other plac-!
es. People are looking for and
experimenting with substitutes for
hard coal. In Mount Joy we have
a number of private homes where
oil burners have been installed in
their boilers. Others are experi-|
menting on how to successfully
burn bituminous coal. |
Recently we published instruc-|
tions by well known authorities
and we have since learned that a
number of families are now burn-
ing soft coal successfully.
While the supply of hard coal!
is limited, there is no end to the |
amount of soft coal available and
we sincerely hope that by the time
those disgruntled strikers go back
to work, there will be so little de-
mand for their product that they
will be given another vacation by
the mine operators equal that of

ing
¢
or
Jan

the strike.
That would teach them a good
lesson.
THE OLD-TIME CHRISTMAS
Old-timers caught in the holiday
rush and gazing at the wonderful-
ly alluring panorama of the shop
windows often fall into a reminis-
cent mood and re-live the Christ-
mas in his childhood?
Most of the presents were
home-made. Perhaps Grandma fur-
nished mittens, knitted by oil lamp |
after you had been tucked in bed
thick warm mittens with a long
cord that extended up through coat
sleeves and around the neck to|
prevent loss. Aunt Saphdonia gave |
vou a basket of Christmas cookies, |
shaped like animals and stars and |
covered with delicious colored sug |
ar |

Uncle Tom gave you a watch,
and his generosity appal®d you |
even if it was® the old turnip that |
he had discarded. You can im- |
agine the reaction you would get
if you tried giving a 1925 boy a
second-hand timepiece. |
Most “of the presents were use-|
ful, in the old days, mincluding a
reefer overcoat and a new pair of
shoes. As for “boughten” = pre-
sents, they were limited to “The
Erie Train Boy,” by Alger, Henty’s
“With Clive in India,” a New Tes-
tament, a sled, a “pair of skates]
and that most wonderful of all old- |
time toys, a tin monkey that|
climbed a string.
At that, Christmas of long ago
represented proportionately as big
an outlay as now, comparing ‘earn-
ings in the d4wo periods.
But the gift itself was second-
ary to the .spirit of the giver.
Somehow every grown-up can’t
help believing the Christmas din-|
ners of those days Were superior. |
The Christmas eve entertainment
at the church was as enjoyable as
the modern movie. And the ride
3 in a cutter over the deep snow
Ey beat the auto-trip of 1925.
Christmas is always changing |
and (to adults) never for the bet- |
ter. |
