She also organized the teen-age all girls' chorus, "The Singing Lassies," the Bagley Downs Hasbro~k chorus named in her honor, and the McLoughlin Heights W o m e n ' s chorus. "Mrs. Hasbrook has been of splendid service to the community," Mrs. Gustafson said. "She gave unselfishly of her time and talent, and will be greatly missed by the association." Ray Hamby, ~dio director for the group, will assume Mrs. Hasbrook's duties in program production. ·J&: community center; recreation association staff members announced today.

The youngster had just returned from a tour of the Department Stores and seeing the toys and other things that are put on display especially for the youngsters around this time of the year. But at three years old this youngster was somewhat disillusioned. Her belief in Santa Claus had been completely shattered. It was plain to see that she was voicing the opinion of some older person when she said in her childish way, "There aint no Santa Claus." Maybe that older person thought he was doing that child a favor by making her worldly wise or possibJy the remark was made thoughtlessly in her presence. No matter how .it was made, it was wrong to shatter this child's faith in an age-old belief. Santa Claus is real, and for the benefit of those youngsters and oldsters who are suffering from too much altruism, we reprint this letter that is world famous. It is in answer to practically the same kind of a situation that we have mentioned. It was printed quite a few years ago by the editor of the New York Sun. Read it, you skeptics and learn something'" of the beauty of life in the things that you cannot see but can experience. The things that make life worth whhle. READ and join in with the youngsters to say-"There IS a Santa Claus." Is There a Santa Claus? The following ,reprinted from the editorial page of the New York Sun, was written by the late Mr. Frank P. Church: We take ·pleasure in answering at once and thus prominently the communication below, expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful author is numbered among the friends of THE SUN: Dear Editor: I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is n() Santa Claus. Papa says "If you see it in THE SUN it's so." Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus? Virginia Hanlow. Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe e-xcept they see. They think that nothing:can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. A1l minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Y:es, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the worJd would be come, "for all things are now ready." Many strive to prepare thingsbut all things are ready. St. Mark, 9:23. "If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth" all things are ready. E you want peace in time of war: Peace is ready. If you want deliverance: all things are ready. If you want to find your way to God: All you must do is to walk in the way of righteousness because all things are ready. If you want your sons and daughters saved, just believe God and put them on the altar, because all things are ready. It shall come to pass, all that seek God shall be ready: For all things are ready. The Lord God shall forgive you your sins. If the world seems backward and two or three come together and pray for the good of the city, land and country, all things are ready. Without faith it is impossible to please God. We must believe God is able to make all things ready, for in God all things are ready. Jesus said: "But seek ye first the Kinglom of God, and his right trueness and all these things shall be added unto you." Matt. 6:33. Because all things are ready. No waiting, all things are ready, just humble yourself and pray. People wonder at war, bloodshed and robbery in the land because they failed .to believe all things are ready. "In my father's house are many mansions; if it· were not so I would have told you. r go to prepare a place for you." St. John 14:2. The way is alreaay prepared for you by Jesus Christ. I am the way, the truth and the light. God has provided all things, live in God, ails things are ready. The man made a great supper and invited the honorable guest, but it is now ready. If you want to be • sanctified - all things are now ready. If you want justification by faith, all things are now ready. Dahlia~ Temple No. 202 I. B. P. 0. E. W.

You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseen and unseeable in·the world. The 'Better Book and Bible Ilouse Scott Building, 3rd Floor 420 S. W.

THURMAN SPEAKS (Continued from page 1) held at First Presbyterian Church, S. W. 12th Ave. and Alder St. Dr. Thurman spoke at the evening session. His subject was "Let us care enough to act," following which there was a question period in which pertinent questions on the best action to take was discussed. The conferences are to be followed by pre-Lenten services in Presbyterian churches all over the nation. Dr. Thurman, co-pastor of the Fellowsh~p Church of San Francisco, one of many projects seeking to give an experience in interracial understanding not found in other segregated churches, was one of a team of three Presbyterian leaders to visit Portland on Wednesday, December 6. He is on leave from Howard University where he has distinguished himself as one of the leading sociologists of the United States. The occasion for the meeting which is one of sixty held in cities through the United St~tes was W:orld Order Day for Presbyterians in Portland. In describing the church of which he is co-pastor, Dr. Thurman stated that "any social expression of this kind is subject to all of the possibilities of liquidation." The • church is not making a point of interracialism, but as he stated it "for-instances". There are three problems it must face: Sunday School 10 A. M. Morning Worship 11 A. M. Evening Worship, 8 P.

It is concerned primarily with social protection, which is defined as "the prevention and ;repression of prostitution and sexual promiscuity as a means of controlling venereal disease." The National Women's Adv;isory Committee on Social Protection was formed in June 1943, when a group of representatives from the leading women's organizations in the country met with Charles P. Taft, then Director of the Office of Community War Services, Federal Security Agency, to discuss this country's venereal disease problems and the steps that were being taken to meet them. The committee was appointed by Mr. Taft, and has since acted in an advisory capacity to the director of the social protection division. Big Attendance At Rec.

Lewis and Clark College Student Broadcasts On Sunday, December 3, Richard Moffatt, the only colored student. on the campus of Lewis and Clark I College, sang the solo part of the Negro spiritual "Poor Little Jesus" 1 on the Council Choir hour. Richard I is a Freshman student from Mississippi, now residing with his parents and a sister, who attends high school, in Vanport. He is a voice student of Mrs. Maud Bohlman of the faculty of ~wis and Clark College. The depth of feeling with which the selection was rendered was commented upon by many of the radio audience. Richard may go a long way up the road to fame and fortune if he continues making such rapid progress as he has made while on the campus. He wil appear again on the College music pro-· grams so you will want to watch the Christmas concert notices in your daily papers. Richard is quite versatile since he is also an accomplished pianist.
