Several methods for financing construction of the government center have been discussed, it was reported. State legislation to enable joint city and county financing already has been passed. Weller told the joint city-county committee a survey of space requirements showed the county needs 290,000 square feet and the city requires 250,000 square feet. Additional space would be included in the proposed buildings for future expansion.

Compromise Plan The City Planning Commission yesterday also formally approved a compromise plan for the Outer Loop on the west side. The state plans approved yesterday would bring the Outer Loop south from Mt. Read Boulevard, over Buffalo Road and the New York Central Railroad, then west cross ing the Barge Canal and then south to Scottsville Roa4l just west of the canal. The plan calls for trafiic interchanges at Chili Avenue and Brooks Avenue. The state originally wanted to follow Genesea Park Boulevard.

It seented too good to be true I had been told that a dog was impossible but certainly the sounds from the cellar were authentically canine. That night was one of the longest I have ever known. Long before daybreak I groped into the room where I had hung my stocking It bulged with candy and nuts, and a large orange was on top of these. There was a book I remember that, too: "The Young Patriots" a turtleneck sweater, a pair of shoes and a note from Santa "telling me to go into the cellar. Christmas of course isn't a festival purely fof children.

Its significance is immensely beyond that; yet I can't recall a Christmas that seemed quite as great to me as the one when I found a white bull terrier in a cellar kennel made by stringing chicken wire between the legs of an upturned, discarded kitchen table. The little dog had a black patch on his forehead (which would fault him in a bench show), but he was as lively as a grig and the most engaging puppy imaginable. The bull terrier was in disrepute at the time, but a popular breed; and my father had got this one from a character who chewed tobacco and wore a battered brown derby, who later instructed me about the dog's training. The puppy had cost $5, an extravagance partly accounted for by the fact that my father, without letting it be known, was nrtttrisf ntt1tt ir-t 4a 4Ua animal Tiimefllf AXf a 1 Tnrl him Dim McFarlin's?

It isn't meant that even a small boy on this mundane sphere should enjoy too long a period of unmitigated joy.

HIS YEAR, for the first time in many years, I have failed to visit the toy departments in the stores. My youngest son is now in that intermediate period of adolescence where he is too old for toys that push on the floor or run on tracks and not quite old enough to want new clothes to display before a girl. His Christmas requests are for semi-scientific gadgets, about which I know little, which have no practical value and are still outside the toyshop realm. I could understand his wanting a bicycle or a pair of ice skates, but not these things, which seem dreadfully costly. His interests are more varied than mine were at his age and his tastes considerably more extravagant, but I wonder and I hope my suspicion is unfounded if he has as much fun at Christmas time as I had.

The Christmas festival seems to become more elaborate each year and the preparation for it extends over a longer period of time. The present form of its celebration is- an elaboration of a Victorian tradition and it was Charles Dickens' famous description of Mr. Pickwick's Christmas at Dinglcy Dell that probably established in popular imagination a festival of rich fare, family gatherings, hearty fellowship, and the snow-covered countryside so often represented on Christmas cards. "Christmas was close at hand, in all his bluff and hearty "honesty; it was the season of hospitality, merriment, and open heartedness," Dickens wrote, in telling about the journey made by Mr. Pickwick and his friends on the Muggleton Telegraph, a stage coach, to the scene of the season's celebration.

Gay and merry was the time, and gay and merry were at least four of the numerous hearts that were gladdened by Its coming. "And numerous indeed are the hearts to which Christmas brings a brief season of happiness and enjoyment How many families, whose members have been' dispersed and Mattered far and wide, in the restless straggles of life, are then reunited, and meet once again in that happy state of companionship and mutual good-will, which is a source of such pure and unalloyed delight, and one so incompatible with the cares and sorrows of the world, that the religious belief of the most civilized nations, and the rude traditions of the roughest savages, alike number it among the first joys of a future condition of existence, provided for the blest and happy! How many old recollections, and how many dormant sympathies, does Christmas time awaken! Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and -the traveller thousands of miles away, back to his own fireside and his quiet home." Dickens set the pattern for the modern Christmas more than 100 years ago. But the ageless spirit of the day and the season is found in the beautifully simple words of St. Luke and St. Matthew, and the first Christmas gifts were those the wise men carried to the manger, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
