Again we greet you on the eve of Christmas. As we extend the time-honored wishes for full gladness at the Yuletide season, we can do so with words fuller and more spontaneous than we felt it appropriate to do during those long and anxious years of war. But that is over now so we can truly and without hesitation wish for peace and goodwill on this war-torn old earth of ours. Certainly, although the fighting is over, the peace and the gooodwill are not completely with us yet but they are on the way, we confidently trust, ahd will be speeded the much quicker if during this Chistmas we can one and all catch just a little of the spirit which fundamentally pervades the anniversary we observe in order that we may maintain it in the days to come. While there may be many contradictory and paradoxical evidences, there is reason to believe that the world and its people are coming arond to the acceptance of the ANNOUNCEMENT: 'She office will be closed as from December 18 ; to January 6 when it will be again open for appointments. .icctcice'ctc!eicteteiictcccicti(tet(ictc!ftttct(ccic(ici(i(i!((cicicici ; To my many friends I extend the compliments of this Happy Season 'Ittk3i9)iiksiikiiii9i)3i9ia3)ii3isa)ai3i3iaii9tkaii3iiat&sii Corv 3rd Ave. and 5th St Optometrist Room 4 STONE BLOCK V fact that the principles of doings 1 living as inculcated in the Christian doctrines and teachings are essential to bring about the real and lasting peace. We fought for the right to establish these principles. The bane who live in desolation, tagedy and privation in many parts of the world. There are those among us for whom Christmas will awaken memories of associations and events of happier days which can never be completely renewed. In all these considerations the Daily News extends its greetings on this hallowed Eve. t.

Vancouver newsman, has" unearthed an hitherto unpublished poem by Rudyard Kipling written following a "night- out" with the late John Vlrcuev proprietor or the Oak Bay Hotel: A gilded mirror, and polished bar. Myriads of glasses strewn ajar, A kind faced man all dressed in white, That's my recollection of last night. 'V The streets were narrow and far too long,. Sidewalks slippery, policemen strong, v The slamming door, the sea-going 'hack. That's my recollection of getting back. A rickety staircase and hard to climb, But I rested often, I'd lots of time, An awkward keyhole and a misplaced chair, Informed rriy wife that I was there. A heated interior and a revolving bed, A sea-sick man with an awful head, Cocktails, Scotch and booze galore, Were all Introduced to the cuspidor. And In the morning came that jug of Ice; Which is necessary to men of vice, And when it stilled my aching brain, Did I swear off? I got drunk again.
