bitter dispute between the govern

day to prevent further interference
with British fishing trawlers out
side the three-mile limit. but with

Russia, maintaining its right to
declare territorial all waters within
q miles of Russian shores, points to
the Ceylon coast where Great Britain
maintains such limitations. A Rus

sion in Moscow Thursday morning,
declared the people of Murmansll

Time, speeding on swift wings,
brings us once more to that season
when the hearts of men are filled to
the fullest with the spirit of peace
and good will Our eyes turn again
toward the east, just as turned the
eyes of the Wise Men hundreds Of
years ago when they behold the star
which led them to the manger IN
Bethlehem.
Regardless of how we have Jared
throughout the year, we find in our
hearts once more that feeling Of
thankfulness and childlike simblic-
ity-that something we have learned
to call the christmas spirits" We
forget our suffering for the moment
in our effort to send happiness into
the hearts of those we love and re-
spect. We JOIN our hands and our
smiles with our neighbors in cele-
brating the season when hearts are
warmest and mankind little nearer
a common understanding than at any
other time of the year. We go back
in memory to the days, long before
we 'knowed who Santa Gloss was
and individually we joy in the thought
of the joys Of childhood. We feel the
touch of time, and some of us there
are who note the sprinkling OF silver
in our hair. Yet we APPROACH the
Christmas time with hearts mellowed
by the memory of other days, and we
feel again that something men call
the "Christmas spirit" that some
thing which puts us at peace with the
world, and makes us hopeful of the
future.
Nowhere in all the world is there
a nation capable of placing greater
thanks for return again to the
