A 1937 hunting, fishing and trapping licenses expire at midnight Decemoer o 1 In past years the new licenses have been placed on sale about the middle of December but the earlier date was selected this year as more convenient for the Indiana sportsmien who Jike to avoid the last minute rush to secure their licenses. It will also aid the Christmas shoppers, as an increasing number of licenses are given to a sportsman member of the family. Under a provision of the law enacted by the (eneral Assembly ‘this vear, the fee for the 1938 combination hunting, fishing and trapping licenses will be $1.50. The increase of fifty cents in the fez was urged by sportsmen as a means of financing a more extensive program of fish and game propagation. ]

Like Fire Departments State highway patrolmen and main. tenance forces are like members of fire departments, in that they are subject to call any hour in time of emergency when the,movement of traffic is threatened, Earl Crawford chairman of the state highway commission, pointed out. Trucks carrying snow plows grades and other and other equipment used in clearing state highways of ice and snow are kept ready for ‘operation at a moment’s notice. , : The commission has received a number of compliments upon the way in which department workers cleared the highways of snow and ice in the north and central parts of the stats several days ago. Tons of sand and cinders, mixed with chemicals which melt ice, were spread on the highways at curves and grades to reduce the danger of skidding and graders were used to remove ice and snow wherever it was sufficiently thick te permit this operation.

The Christmas Carolers Are Welcome Everywhere <l.i ERE come the Carolers” So it ased to be. Young faces pressed againsi the windowpane, straining to hear the cheerful carols outside. Perhaps it was the story of the Christ child put to tune or a ballad of love and cheer. When the singers were done the householder invited them in for a bite and a sup. or gave them a coin or two fo) their song. Then on to the next house, to sing again under the stars or velled be hind sifted snow. Ap then, in the early morning, home again to their own firesides. it was a good old custom, this midnight minstreisy in the season of peace and goodwill. “With the begin ning of Yuletide, twelve days before Christmas day,’ as Percival Chubb tells us in the Standard, published In New York by the American Ethical Unioun. “small hand of musicians went the rounde and, ‘in the mire or on the road or on the steps, played the old folk ftunes as a lyrical prelude to the great day.” To some of the an tique ballad airs, like “Gooo King Wenceslaus.” says Mr. Chubb. the singers would add a hymn tune or two—*"oOnce In David's Royal City.’ or "“Hark, the Herald Angels Sing.' “Punctuating :the bustle of domestic preparation for the coming feast, these ministrations in the still night gave a breath o 1 poetry that touched the spirit of UChristmas with an endearing beauty. Day by day the tide of joyous anticipation rose until the cres cendo broke Into a forte of exuber ance.” Those simple duayvs of the folk are gone, says Mr. Chubb; the glory is departed. But the custom of making the rounds on Christias eve to sing carols of peace and good will on earth still prevails here: and there.—Literary Digest. /

Make Christmas Burden, Be Unhappy Rest-of Year l’l‘ [S so customary nowadays to hear disparagement of Christmas a 8 A season of vanity, selfish display, greed and covetousness that we like to point out the other side. Some of our cynics declare that Christmas gifts ure themselves dictated by selfInterest—that they are - meanly offered In .the hope of a return—with {nterest—or are an exhibition of van. ity. ‘And yet, who would dare to say this of a mother, who deprives her self to give happiness to her chil dren, or of the girl who willingly fore goes some little vanity for the pleas ure of ‘her parents? People who make Christmas a burden and a tax show the same attitude throughout the yea: ~—their own false standards of Ilving are to blame, and not this holy fes tival.—Rural New-Yorker.

Norway, Sweden Babies " Are Loaded With Gifts lN MANY districts of Norway and Sweden every baby born on Christmas day is the recipient of many gifts and bounties from all quarters.
