The candlelight ceremony and the general theme, "Adeste Fidelis,” or "Oh, Come All Ye Faithful,” will fill you with the Christmas spirit. The public is Invited to witness and hear this Inspiring service. o o Former King Edward VIII, now the Duke of Windsor, may feel a little easier in view of the death of former Prime Minister Baldwin, who caused him to abdicate the British throne for the “woman I love.” Baldwin, a Tory of first rank, adroitly handled the British crisis, but resigned his post after Edward left England. The coming years will show if the people of Great Britain will ever want to restore their former king, but it is not likely that any steps will be taken as long as Queen Mother Mary dominates the palace. o or— — Whatever modern education does for young people or omits to do, it does make them articulate, and encourages them to think for themselves. Several hundred high school students taking part in a Youth Forum sponsored by the New York Times proved this fact. Their topic, was “Shall We Open Our Doors to Displaced Persons?’'l A minority opposed the DP's, but >

Constant "Ringing" in the Ears

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. NEARLY everyone has experienced, at least briefly, the sensation known as “ringing in the ears” but some people are troubled in this way almost constantly. This condition is known to doctors as tinnitus and is used to include all varieties of head noises, ■whether they arise from some trouble in the ear itself or from a disturbance elsewhere. Head noises due to something ■wrong with the ear are always accompanied by some loss of hearing, at. least for the time that the ringing in the ear occurs. In the vast majority of these cases, the ringing noise results from a disturbance of the circulation of blood within the ear. When this situation exists, treatment with preparations Which dilate or enlarge the blood vessels and improve the circulation should be helpful. In some cases the condition is due to a sensitivity or allergy These patients are often sensitive to histamine, a substance -which is found in larger amounts than normal in those who a-e allergic. Those patients who are histaminesensitive can be discovered by injecting a small amount of histamine under the skin and noting whether or not a reaction, in the form of e red swelling developsTinnitus may come on gradually or suddenly. In those instances '

I a good majority, after a lively discussion, approved ot the project It is a good omen for the future that, speaking in general, the young people are more likely to be tolerant and generous in their reaction to such a problem than are their elders. In the course of time their enthusiasm may be tempered by experience, but not, it is hoped, to the extent that they lose their attitude of viewing the world as a whole. o o There was a time when Canada was sensitive about being called “Our Lady ot the Snows,” thereby giving an impression in some quarters that Canadians were holed up for the winter, emerging only in the- late spring. But that period is now almost forgotten, and the northern neighbors are inclined to boast about their weather instead of deprecating it. Such honesty obviously pays, for people from far and near have begun thronging to have a good time in the snow, until they have almost seemed to out-do the Canadian summer itself in tourist value—or at least in talk about their skiing progress. The Rev. Edgar P. Schmidt of San Diego, Cal., has accepted the call jo become pastor of the Zion Lutheran church in this city and we join in extending a welcome to the new minister. Rev. Schmidt, who during the war years was service officer of the Lutheran Service Center in the California naval base city, succeeds the Rev. Paul Schultz, who last summer moved to the west coast to become representative for Valparasio University. The local congregation is one of the fine spiritual influences in our-i community, with its membership growing steadily during the years. o o An automobile age suddenly imposed upon borse-and-buggy planned cities brings traffic jams, parking problems. Members of the American Highway Association meeting in Chicago, expressed the conviction that the number one problem for American cities today is traffic. There never were so many horse-and-buggies as there are automobiles. It was more inconvenient to keep a horse, and it took more space. Also fewer people were in that margin of prosperity in the old days where they could afford private conveyances. Automobiles cost more to buy and operate than did horse-drawn vehicles. Now more people have more money. There has been such a change in transportation that cities must do some drastic planning—such as moving or razing i buildings to make parking spaces. One-way streets, no curb parking and keeping cars out of certain very narrow streets are possible iiemedies. The situation calls for i daring and original city planning.

which the tinnitus comes on suddenly accompanied by a considerable degree of deafness, it is likely that a severe blood vessel spasm has occurred which has produced much injury to the hearing mechanism. One of the treatments which ofen employed for tinnitus is the blowing of air through the eustachian tube, which connects the throat with the middle ear. If the ringing in the ears is due to blood vessel spasm, this type of treat ment will not be of any help. It is useful only in those cases in which it can be shown that the eustachian tube is blocked. Treatment for tinnitus, due to blood vessel spasm, is the giving of preparations which cause the blood vessels to dilate. One of the most satisfactory substances for this purpose is nicotinic acid. Os course, it can only be employed under the direction of a physician and in doses which he recommends. In those patients who are sensitive to histamine, the nicotinic acid is not of any help, and may even make the condition worse. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS M. W.:. What reaction would there be iu taking vitamin *’D”? Answer: Vitamin “P” often may be taken in large amounts without causing any reictjcp. However this I should' only be done under the di- j I section of a physician.

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO ANNETTE brought in the three glasses (Alison had sherry and Suzy fruit juice! on a silver tray —just as Teresa and Suzy came in. “The flowers are dead,” Teresa said. "I wonder why Annette didn't throw them out. Don’t pluck the fur, Suzy. Never pick at fur.” She picked up her glass eagerly. To the fire she said, “Sam’s driving up tomorrow afternoon. He’ll have dinner with us.” “Daddy!” Suzy exclaimed. “Yes, dear. Daddy. Will you be glad to see him?” “Oh, yes.” "If you think of it, ask him for a picture. There isn’t a picture of Sam in this house. He probably hasn’t had one taken since he was graduated from college. I don’t remember his ever having a picture of himself. But you should, have a picture of your father in your room, darling.” She opened the cigaret box and asked, “Cig-' aret, Alison?” “No. Thank you.” “How can you possibly drink anything and not smoke ? Isn't the weather beastly? I’ve never liked the summers here but I think I’ll welcome it this year. We can go down to the farm for weekends.” She smiled. “If only I could talk Sam into improving the place. A new bathroom at least. I’d loan him the money.” She was looking into the distance beyond the walls when she said, "What a nice feeling we have toward each other now. He was so pleasant today when he called me. I could see him in that funny little office of his frowning over an editorial that those farmers probably won’t bother to read. Such a waste of his talent when he could be here ci* in New York on one of the big napors or magazines.” “He doesn’t want that.” "How do you know what he wants? He’ll grow tired of skimpin" along, living in a house that’s falling down on his head, worrying about the bills his father left and the puny circulation. He could be a big and powerful man. He could write above the heads of those larmers he writes for now.” • “You forget, Teresa, Sam is a farmer.” Teresa nodded self-assuredly. “It’s just a phase. Post-war sort of thing. You have to go along with them until they come out of it. I’ve had no lunch. This cocktail has gone straight to my head. No, Suzy, you may not take the muff in to dinner, darling. And try, please, not to drop everything. Perhaps your father was right in insisting that you have dinner with me but he isn't here to see that there are more potatoes on the carpet than in your tummy.” Your father . . . Your father . . .

announced dinner. c ♦* * 1 After dinner Teresa went to the kitchen to talk to Annette about the menu for tomorrow’s dinner. ( Special for Sam. Alison went up- ] stairs with Suzy and waited while ] the child played with a toy swan • in her tub. Suzy was hilarious , tonight, full of nonsense and mis- j chief. Alison put her candy- < striped pajamas on her, turned down her bed, kissed her goodnight Teasingly Suzy clung to her hand, begging for a story, a “real” story, an amusing episode 1 from Alison’s own childhood. Suzy J was more diverted by “real” sto- 1 ties than by fairy tales. A few < minutes later she turned on her • side, clutched the rag doll. Alison ' turned out the light, raised the window and closed the door. The . quiet end of a child’s day. Downstairs she found Teresa reading a news magazine. She glanced up quickly at Alison and with a deft finger, a finger that never missed or fumbled or turned two pages instead of one, turned a page. Teresa seemed to read a page at a glance. She had enormous and enviable powers of concentration. She did not learn patiently step by step. She seemed to seize a subject and grasp it with her whole being. She had small patience with waiting. Alison picked up her knitting. The needles would not obey. They wanted to fall out of her hand. She dropped stitches. The stuck to her moist hands. She put it aside, got up and spread her hands toward the fire. Her breathing seemed to be loud and labored like that of a person on the operating ' table. Outside a siren wailed. She picked up her knitting again and made herself do 10 rows without stopping. Teresa lay the magazine on the ■ ta>le. She touched her smooth face, saying, “I haven’t had time • for a facial for weeks. No reason : why I can’t give myself one.” She I flicked a bit of ash from her white i blouse. “If I can slip out for a I few hours tomorrow I’ll look for ■ a dinner dress. The war is over. I must get the habit of dressing • for dinner again when there are guests . . . You've been working ■ on that sweater for months. How : much longer are you going to be? ; Well, I’m going to putter around : a bit with self-improvement. This ■ new cream I have is quite good. • Good-night. You’ll see that the ; doors are locked and that the ash I trays are washed before you come . up, won’t you?’*i “Yes.” i Teresa stood up. Her hands on t her slim hips were like a caress > as she smoothed down her skirt. Her face had an imperishable qual- . ity as though age would not dare • strike it ever. Gold lights shimmered in her hair. Alison glanced quickly at her hair and then away. • Ehp felt as if she were blushing. eThe color of Teresa’s hair bad

cnangea. n was ugnter. it was like Kitty’s who had bleached hers. Teresa was bleaching her hair. Teresa’s eyes were making fun of her. "You’re very quiet tonight. But then I suppose you always are. But you are a nice person, Alison. There’s depth and sweetness in you. Only I can’t make up my mind where you belong. Have you seen Philip lately?” “We had lunch on Saturday.” “You told me. I remember now/' Alison looked up. “I don’t belong here and I don't belong with Philip. I don’t belong here because there is nothing here I can call myi own and a girl or a woman feelsl she’s only a transient when there’s' nothing of her own. And I don't belong with Philip because no matter how much he gave me or'how hard he tried, I’d always feel like a poor relation.” Teresa noodded. “Waiting. We’r.e both waiting. You don’t know what you’re waiting for. But I’m waiting for Sam to ask me to marry him. One of the ciwses of being a woman. You have to wait foi them to ask you.” “Why do you want Sam, Teresa?” “Why? Why do you want e dress you see in a window ? You want it, that’s all. You can’t explain it. There’s not much reason to it. I have logic and reason in business. But you can’t reason with your emotions. Does a man marry a girl because she can cook, because she’ll be a poised hostess to his friends and sweet to his mother? No. He marries her because he wants her . . . This isn’t getting my face done. Good-night, dear.” Alison looked at the clock. She waited an hour. The longest hour she ever knew. The fire died and a chill came over the room. She took out the ash trays to the kitchen, washed them and brought them back. She bolted the doors and turned out the lights and walked up the steps. But tonight was not like every other night because she turned to the right, not to the left She turned toward Teresa’s room and went in. It occurred to her now how few times she had been in this room, so few that for a few moments a part of her mind was occupied with it. A large, high-ceilinged room with plain, peach-colored walls. The antique bed was huge with massive posts and a white organdy canopy. The white quitted spread almost touched the floor. The chaise longue was pale green. There was a large mirror above a fine old chest and another over the dressing table and still another in the door.

Printers' Union In t Campaign For Funds Finance Spreading ’ Strikes In Nation > By United Press ' With the full weight of the i parent American Federation of Labor behind it, the International ■ Typographical Union opened a 1 campaign today to raise $1,000,000 1 to finance its spreading strikes against newspapers and commercial printing shops. 1 The AFL endorsed the strikes 1 and the ITU policy of attempting to by-pass the Taft-Hartley labor 1 law yesterday. The union is attempting to have its members work under “conditions of employment” posted in each shop rather than sign ’formal,contracts. The union has struck against six major dailies in Chicago and seven newspapers in five other cities. It also has issued strike notices against three Detroit papers. Chicago publishers and union officials were scheduled to meet today with Mayor Martin Kennelly in an effort to end the strike. President William Green issued a statement for the AFL yesterday in which he blamed the TaftHartley law for “upsetting the 'cooperative labor-management relationship which existed among We wish in this way to extend Seasons Greetings and express our gratitude to Dr. Zwick, the Nurses at the Hospital, Rev.
