School Has Party.
But No St. Nick
BALTIMORE —hP> — For the
first time in 32 years St. Alphon-
sus School yesterday gave its pu
pils a Christmas party without a
Santa Claus.
“Pagan elf that the traditional
Santa, Claus is,” explained the Rt.
Rev. Louis J. Mendelis to 240
youngsters, “he is a good spirit
who lives only in books, in the pop
ular land of fairies and hobgoblins,
and is not ehe real giver of the
gifts you receive at Christmas.”
The Catholic priest told the kids,
ranging from 3 to about 14 there
was no place in the religious cele
bration for “the Santa Claus that
many of you have seen standing
on street corners.”
“It is true there lived a man
whose name was St. Nicholas, who
was a bishop of the Catholic
church many centuries ago,” he
said. “He was kind to the poor.
He had especial love for the child
ren and his feast kept by the
Catholic Church ever year on Dec.
6 . . . But because St. Nicholas . . .
knew and loved Jesus as his God
and Savious of the world, he would
never consent to take the place
of Jesus at Christmas time as the
giver of giftsithat you all receive.
God is the giver of all good gifts,
and Jesus who is God ... is the
real giver of the gifts that you
will receive today, tomorrow and
on Christmas Day.”

His Master's Return! Most of us
know the joy in this pup's heart.
Months have passed since war's
end, and with our boys and girls
back home /: life, has takenon a new
meaning.-''
It doesn't take a war to make usj
appreciate our loved ones. But to-{
day, more than ever, we yearn to;
express our thankfulness.
For the return of those who are
unscathed, we shall be eternally
grateful. For the wounded, the han
dicapped, we are preparing a place
in industry and society worthy of
their sacrifice. And for those who
did not return, our hearts will al
ways treasure the sacred memory
of the young lives and noble hopes
they laid upon the altar of Freedom.
There is a way each of us can
show his appreciation most effec
tively. Our churches are the world s
hope for peacel In worship we can
express our heartfelt thanks to God,
by living the truths our churches
> teach, we can build the spiritual
I foundation for lasting peace.
