at their best The Christmas spirit can stop wars it can humble proud men and make humble men proud it can bring tears to the ieyes of the most brutal it can bring fa milies together and it can provide happy memories to last lifetime While it is on appropriate lime to re flect upon those in the world who are ilcss fortunateand to do what one can jfor them it is also time for rejoicing Despite thesocalled commercialism land the brassy trappings that surround Yuletide today peopleare moved by the Christmas spirit as they can be moved at no other time of year However that same antisociety move ment that is wrecking our universities today threatens the Christmases ot the fliture To those young people who at itack everything that has been held good land dear by former generations Christ

like you and misery is not parttof their Christmas just as joy is not part of the welfare familys This is written by young man whose parents have managed to get him to university young man brought up
