Message
Slowly, yet surely, another year
is vending it's way into eternity,
but before it will have passed, we
are forced, as it were, to pause and
marvel at the beautiful Christmas
season which marks so magnifi-
Gently the Old Years close.
In this Christmas season oc-
ours the birthday of our Lord and
Savior, it is at this time that the
Christ Child's spirit of love goes
out to men in a special way; per-
meating the very atmosphere with
feeling; touching and playing on
the heartstrings of every man, wo-
man and child. It is a time, when,
as one writer So aptly puts it,
"adoring age bows its head in love
and reverence of the grolious mir
acle Of youth"
Truly a prophet has risen up
amongst us and God has visited
His people; and the effects of His
lovoig presence, and the fruits of
His faultless standards brings
each and everyone Of us closer to
his fellowman. The final conse-
.quence of which unfolds to man
happy and open secret, namely,
that thru the spirit and power Of
Jesus, this cruel, cold world Of
ours becomes humane and warm,
seemingly at least, it transforms
itself into a more fitting and hap
pier place in which to carry on the
battle Of life. Tho, it is most true
that together, we have sailed and
are sailing over the stormy sea of
trouble; that together, we have
passed and are now passing thru
the valley Of tribulation, engend-
cred by the Depression; we must
in this joyous season cast far
from us the burdens and cares of
life; because, at Christmas-tide,
we are almost forced to under
stand as never before, the true
and wonderful meaning of: "Glory
be to God in the highest, and on
earth Peace to men Of good WILL
| Jesus is our Hope! Jesus Is the
bond Of good will! Consequently
let us all young and old, fillet
with the joy Of the Prince Of
Peace, join in commemorating tn,
birth Of Him, "Who gave, ga.
someone has written, ito age it,
sublimest promise, and to you'll
its noblest Inspiration"

ashes remained today of thousands
of "un-German" books after Sc
ries of student bonfires through

of Remarque, Ludwig, Freud, and
other world famous writer's were
consigned to flames.
In Berlin a crowd of 10000
filled the opera square while the
torch was applied to a pile of
10000 volumes which had incurred
Nazi displeasure.
The crowd burst into wild cheers
when the first truckload of books,
followed by the giant student pa
rade, appeared for the book burn
ing celebration, and at the stroke
of midnight the fire was lighted,
enVeloping the district in a deep,
red glare.
AS the students hurled the books
into the fire, which looked like a

witches were burned, they recited

Roosevelt Program to Raise
$4,000, 1000 Also May
Hit Small Incomes

New Federal taxes to raise
approximately $22O,OOO,00O a
year will be proposed by the
Administration, it developed
today after a conference be-
tween President Roosevelt and
Democratic congressional lead
erS.s
This amount is estimated as
needed to provide interest and
amortization on the bonds which
the Government proposes to
issue TO finarce the $4,000 900
: -pub1s srks program '''''..@.'''' '@a'"'
No decision has been reached
as to where the new taxes are
to fall, but it is known that
among the means under con-
sideration are excise taxes on
coffee, tea and sugar and in
creased taxes on incomes in the
smaller brackets.
Sale Tax Revival Seen
The decision to increase taxes
may mean the revival. too, of
the sales tax fight in the House.
The farm relief-inflation bill
was to be sent to the White House
for President Roosevelt's sigma
ture as soon as it is properly en-
rolled.
The tax bill carried three spe-
cial taxes. One provision would
extend the 1-cent-a-gallon Fed
eral gasoline tax for another year,
with an anticipated revenue of
$137, 100000.
Power Levy Due
Another $31,O0O,O0O would be
collected by a 2 per cent tax on
the gross receipts of electric
power companies on their sales
to domestic and commercial con-
sumers and a per cent sales tax
on electricity consumed by indus
trial Establishments.
Factories were classified as in
dustries while stores and office
buildings were tagged commercial
consumers.
Two other emergency bills on
the Administrations program for
enactment this week were the
Muscle Shoals and national "blue
sky" measures. Both we're in con-
ference, with early agreements ex-
