Although the Arab rebel headquarters had issued a manifesto declaring a Christmas armistice "providing British troops do not take the offensive," the uncertain conditions discouraged the usual pilgrims. "I have seen 42 Christmases In the Holy Land, but hone so lacking in American and European pilgrims as this one," Prof. John Dinsmore, a native of Wlnslow, and a resident of Palestine since 1895, said.

"I hope to live to see another Christmas worthy of its spirit."

At the gates of the ancient city, beside Rachel's Tomb, a steel-hclmeted sentry halted every pilgrim seeking entry into Bethlehem and searched him for firearms. In the Manger Square, opposite the traditional site of the Nativity, black-robed priests moved soundlessly across cobblestones worn slick by the feet of millions of pilgrims, and soldiers watched from behind sandbajr bar ricades. But the bells rang out their message 12 resounding strokes of the great clappers that every year have told again that "unto you Is born this day In the city of David a savior which is Christ the Lord." Priests solemnly unveiled the niche in the Church of the Nativity where, in the Sacred Grotto, is the exact spot where tradition says Christ was born. On the hillsides around Bethlehem, the troops of the Worcestershire Regiment stood in silence as the sound of the bells echoed across the land and then, spontaneously, voices hegan to take up the song: "Noel, Noel.

The Goodfellow movement represents more than a Christmas package delivered the day before Christmas. The 65,000 children who receive Christmas gifts this year will be the men and women of tomorrow.

Those who reach out a helping hand to the unfortunate little ones of this great city will reap benefits in future years in character building, that has Its start in childhood through such movements as that of the Old Newsboys. Many of those who gave gen erously to the Goodfellows this year were recipients of Goodfellow aid 20 or 25 years ago. They have not forgotten just as they themselves were not forgotten. The "Story of the Goodfellows" through Ernest P. LaJoie's book written this year, has gone all over the country.

Goodfellow groups are springing up in other large cities and other children are made happy because of the great idea sponsored by the late James J. Brady so many years ago when he saw a ragged little child on a coiner, and gathered that original little group around him to sell papers and restore a childish faith in a Santa Claus for every one. And so with much happiness In our hearts, at the conclusion of our Jubilee year, we want to say to Detroiters Goodfellows all a Very Merry Christmas from the Od Newsboys' Goodfellow Fund a 1 VJ. kW, i 1 -5 Old Newsboys Thanks Voiced Gratitude Expressed by Retiring Head James l- Mahon, retiring president of the Old Newsboys' Good-ellor Fund, thanked all Detroiters Saturday for their co-operation In ttu Old Newsboys' drive for funds to assure 65,000 needy children nough clothing and toys for a jlfrry Christmas.

Both have risen high in their chosen work. They are Chief Roy E. Mottesheard, of Dearborn, and Fire Chief C. Floyd Baker, of Highland Park.

Both started work as drivers in the Highland Park Fire Department. "I believe it was because of an injury someone had suffered that we went to work on that day," Chief Baker said. "In those days, fire departments hired their drivers from outside the department instead of training their own, and that was our work." The two chiefs are close friends. They would like to celebrate the anniversary together, but must postpone the party to Thursday because Chief Baker will be in Chicago for Christmas. On Thursday, however, they will meet with some other friends for a party and reminiscence.

They have not decided yet whether the party will be held at Baker's house or Mottesheard's. Mottesheard is now president of the International Association of Fire Chiefs, to which office he was elected in September at a con vention at New Orleans. Both chiefs are former presidents of the Michigan State Fire Chiefs' Asso ciation. Mottesheard and Baker worked together in Highland Park until June 15, 1925, when Mottesheard, then battalion chief, left to become chief and organize the Springwells fire department. Baker at that time was assistant superintendent of the Highland Park alarm and signal system.

While Baker rose to become chief in Highland Park, Mottesheard became Dearborn chief when Springwells, then renamed Ford-son, consolidated with Dearborn, Toll in Air Crash Is Fixed at Seven Army Officials Hold Up Identities UNIONTOWN, Dec. 24 (A.P.)
