HRISTMAS
OBSERVANCE
is
different:
these
V
days
than
it
was
a
few
decades
ago
and
a
lot
of
us
think
it
is
not
so
good.
Maybe
it
is
not
just
the
mellowed
reminiscing
of
middle
age,
either
when
some
of
us
reflect
back
on
the
good
times
we
used
to
have
in
the
Yuletide
when
we
did
not
have
to
get
our
stimulus
out
of
a
bottle
of
alchoholic
beverage
but
when
we
used
to
develop
a
lot
of
good
cheer
and
conviviality
out
of
the
big
turkey,
the
steaming
plum
pudding
and
all
the
dressings,
the
homely
conversation
and
social
intercourse
of
the
Yuletide
table
and
the
colorful
yet
relatively
simple
pleasures
which
surrounded
it.
Then
there
is
the
matter
of
the
gifts
we
used
to
give.
Maybe
we
used
to
derive
more
pleasure
when
we
gave
simple
things
just
for
the
love
of
remembering
and
were
not
so
competitive
about
keeping
up
with
the
Jones
in
the
matter.
Are
our
Christmasses
any
happier
today
because
of
the
artificiality,
the
stimulation,
the
competition?
Are
we
as
sincere
today
about
our
friendly
relationships
as
we
were
in
the
good
old
days?
We
wonder
if,
generally
speaking,
the
people
of
those
few
decades
ago
did
not
get
more
of
the
true
spine
oi
unristmas
tnan
do
those
of
today.
We
wonder,
and
we
are
afraid
that
we
are
right,
that
very
few
people
care
to
realize
what
Christmas
is
all
about.
We
wonder
sometimes
if
some
people
really
do
know.
The
trouble
is
we
are
all
guilty.
Some
of
us
almost
seem
to
be
ashamed
of
the
fundamentals.
Certainly
there
are
few
enough
of
us
who
admit
them.
A
lot
of
us
would
be
acting
differently
if
we
did.

the
effort
of
a
southern
U.S.
daily
newspaper,
contributions
were
successfully
raised
to
keep

playgrounds
open
that
would
otherwise

closed.
Future
Still
Bright
RUPERT
is
undoubtedly
PRINCE
going
through
a
postwar
phase
now
that
might
have
been
reasonably
anticipated.
We
had
no
justification
at
any
time
to
expect
that
the
unnatural
wartime
boom
we
experienced
here,
and
which
we
were
unable
to
fully
take
advantage
of,
should
continue
after
the
war
was
over.
Those
who
did
not
or
would
not
anticipate
the
re-
cession'
through
which
we
arc
now
passing
were
not
realistic
about
things.
It
U
quite
normal
that
things
should
be
as
they
are
for
the
.time
being.
On
the
other
hand,
it
may
be
fairly
assumed
to
be
but
a
period
of
reconversion.
It
is
a
well
known
fact
that
investigations
are
now
proceeding
looking
to
the
development
cf
industry
in
this
area
which,
if
established,
will
make
anything
we
have
had
in
the
past
look
small
indeed.
There
is
no
reason
to
be
discouraged
about
the
future
of
Prince
Rupert
and
things
may
even
get
started
more
quickly
than
we
expect.

with

which
went
with

it

interesting
to
read

The
usefulness
of
the

is
being
demonstrated
and,
as
industrial
activity
hereabouts
expands,
it
is
probable
that
work
and
functioning

the
establishment
will
keep
pace.
And,
possibly,
some
much
more
extensive
activities
may
yet
be
found
for
