We know that it's not usual to refer gratefully to the salesman "·ho, in response to the custon1er's request, passes a cigar or two over the counter. Nor is it conventional to feel obliged t.o the barber who gives one a satisfactory hair cut. But why should we render thanks to the dentist \Yho relieves us of our toothache, and to the .m inister who snothes our sorrows. and render none to the groceryman who brings food for our guests and us? Does someone say that the last named man is paid in full for his services and we owe hin1 nothing more? \Vell, so arc the other two paid in full. And is the gratifying of hunger less valuable as a social service than . the assuaging uf toothache and heart ache? Let's be grateful to the laundryman for cleaning our linen so carefully and returning it so sn1ooth and white. Let's show our gratitude to the restaurant keeper who furnishes us with g.ood food and daily occasions for happiness. There's nothing ridiculous about this idea. l-Ie's human and wants to be of good use to his fellows. He takes much pains to procure and prepare wholesome, tasteful dishes. He sees to it that his table linen and silver are spotless and attractive. And he doesn't do it solely for his own pleasure. He has the pleasure and comfort of his patrons . in mind. Our business people have other aims than touche s zero for the fir st time. Like many othc'r gloomy thing:-) , this . ad month \\·cars a silver lining. After the shortest day in the year the nights begin to shorten. \\ hich means that spring is coming. A pleasant prospect for all whose blood is thinning . But, though the boughs are leafless in December, still there are at no other time of the year such festive doings within doors. The churches and clubs have their weekly programs filled to the limit. We can't get along without December. Householders and business men appreci ate the service rendered them by the Chambers of Commerce in passing upon the merits of door-to-do.or solicitors. If you prefer to know before rather than after whether the man or woman at your door is worthy, get the facts from your local Chamber of Commerce. · who won a .' ob as usher at the Army-Navy game, inform~ us that he wa.r. in possession of ten of the coveted "pasteboards" at l!ame time.
