Again Christmas recalls the Pal
estine settlement of Bethlehem, the
birthplace of Jesus, and the most ia
NOUS small town in the world. Mo-
tor cars now vie with the camel, the
OK and the ass in its narrow streets,
and an occasional airplane drones
overhead but in many respects Beth
lehem has remained unchanged since
the days of Abraham and the first
Christmas.
1--WE all know of Bethlehem as a
small town in Judea and sing about
it in our CAROLS" writes John D.
Whiting in a communication to the
Washington D. c., headquarters of
the National Geographic Society
"but probably few realize how much
it still contains that helps us to Wis
ualize the First Christmas"
ITO those who know it well-its
narrow, winding streets and lanes
cobblestone paved; its age-old homes
with walls of rough-cut stones grown
mellow with years of sunshine; its
vineyards, olive yards, and terraced
gardens; and, most Of all, its people
and their Biblical customs-it still
speaks wildly of the Nativity story"
Mr.. Whiting continues.
"The. town, GROWING a hill and
dominating open valleys to the east
and south, lies just far enough away
from the busy road that links Jeru-
salem and Hebron to be undisturbed
by congested traffic. With the ex-
ception of a handful of Moslem
neighbours, it's 5000 hospitable inhab-
itants are all Christians and live to-
gether in amity.
"As we pass through the confined
thoroughfares, now under a vaulted
archway, now up by a steep flight
of street steps, we may hear the hum
and screech of tools carving pearl
shell into ornaments or cutting thick
sections of the same materials into
beads. The result may be a brooch,
pendant or necklet to bring joy to a
lady upon the return of the pilgrim
purchaser to some distant land. 1t
may be an intricately carved and in
laid crucifx to land, perhaps, on the
wall of some lonely chapel; or it
may be a snow-white rosary mounted
with pure silver, destined to find
its way.into a convent.
"These handicrafts, which, ac-
cording to local standards, have
brought at least a decent living sonlc-
times have been the avenues to mod
est wealth. Best of all, the industries
have cultivated a sense of indepen-
dence and self-resPect in he natives.
means sweatshops, although hours
are long and hard; nor do they savor
of the factory. The shop consists of
a room or two in the home or ad-
joining it. Sometimes only the men,
bers of a family work together; at
other times a few outsiders arc en-
ployed.
"The Church of the Nativity, in
the eastern part Of town, is one of
the oldest existing churches in Chris
tendon, if not the oldest, one of the
few used in common by the three
sects of Christianity.
Built in A. D.. $50 by the Emper-
= or Constantine and added to by JUS
tinian, it became in the fifth century
the home of St. Jerome, who here
translated the Old Testament from
the Hebrew. Since that time it has
gone through many vicissitudes and
restoratlons.
"To know Christmas in Bethlehem
should pass it not in the old
churches, historically interesting
though they be, but under the star
studded dome of the great out-of-
doors, with the shepherds watching

Rogers Has Lead
In TWain's Play

Will Rogers, often declared to be
the modern counterpart of Mark
Twain, has the lead in "A Connect
cut Yankee at King Arthurs Court"
based on one of Twain's immortal
books by the same name. which, will
be seen tonight and tomorrow night
at Fox Imperial theatre.
The play is weird and amusing
combination of modern inventions
with the medieval days when
knighthood was in flower and gives
VIII ample opportunity for the hu-
NOR which has made him famous
throughout the world
No matter how brave and gallant
knighthood may have been, he
proves that it cannot stand up
against lariatS, modern machine
guns and airplanes. Nor were the
horses of the knights one, two, three
compared with a popular make OF
small car just coming into promi-
nence
Helping Rogers to make the play
an outstanding one are William
Farnum, Myrna 10y, Maureen
O'Sullivan, Frank Albertson, Bran
don Hurst and Mitchell Harris.

kee' made the nineteenth century

HAYGROWERS OF
VALLEY DISCUSS
MARKETING PLANS

Formation of a hay marketing
association similar to that recently
organized in Antelope Valley may
come as a result of a meeting of
Imperial Valley hay growers held in
Brawley Saturday night and called
by H. A. Hastain, prominent Braw-
ley rancher.
Antelope Valley growers have or
ganized and market all their
hay through the firm OF Ericsson
and Mudd of Los Angeles and they
have felt that III order to make
their organization effective in sta
biliZing market conditions, q SIM
liar organization should be effected
in this county.
The firm of Ericsson and Mudd
was represented by Ericsson who,
with c. c. Stafford, and others
toured the valley in the morning
looking over the local situation.
Ericsson addressed the meeting
in the evening, and agreed to send
down the set up papers of the An
telope Valley organization which
will be forwarded TO Scott B.
Foulds, secretary manager of the
local farm bureau. Foulds will
consult with q committee of grow
ers in regard to organization.
Much enthusiasm for the forma
ton of this marketing association
was expressed at the meeting and
E. T Hewes. president of the I'M
perial County Hay improvement
association, and H. A. Hastain were
appointed as a committee to in
vestigate the possibilities and meth
