In Dale City, Ted Yates urges fellow Saturday Night Club members to invite reclusive citizen Baylune to donate or help with the Annual Kid die Christmas Party. Others doubt Baylune’s participation but Ted presses for outreach and community spirit amid years of absence since Founders Day Parade.
Ted Yates travels to Greenvale for a chance at a cup of coffee and a role in a charity Christmas pageant hosted by mysterious Mr Barlowe. A butler guides him as Mr Barlowe explains his past paralysis and hints at community involvement. The tale ends with a simple question about why he was never asked before.
The Standard issue recalls the 1907 Red Cross Christmas plea urging support during wartime. It urged all members to light Christmas candles and place them behind Red Cross service flags on Christmas Eve to show unity of the Christmas spirit of service with the symbol of mercy. Signed American Red Cross.
The piece links Christmas greetings to seasonal spirit and ancient winter festivals, notes the rise of the printed card in the last century, and presents today a newspaper edition with special greetings from local merchants to customers and friends.
