Well, we are not surprised, with
the shortage of men, but we are
surprised to think that the women didn't think of sending Santa
off to war to visit the poor
sailors and- soldiers, and let Mrs.
Santa do the deed at home. -But

The Saline Woman's Club met
on Tuesday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. Francis Lockwood
for a Christmas program. The
business meeting was im charge
of Mrs. Walter MacArthur, and
since the chairman of the program for the day, Mrs. Robert
Merchant, was snowbound^ and
unable to be present, " she
also announced the program. Because of transportation difficulties
several of those on the program
were absent, and the original
schedule necessarily shortened.
Papers to be read on Christmas
customs in France, England and
Germany were omitted but Mrs.
Frank Campbell rendered solos of
carols of each of these countries.
Miss Esther Landwehr read an
article on Russian Christmas customs, and Mrs. • Leo Jensen on
Scandinavian customs. Carols of
these countries were also sung.
Mrs. Merritt Martin presided at
the piano and also played a
Christmas selection An interesting discussion on religious customs followed. . White gifts for
the Children's Aid Society may be
