In the midst of the festivities of the
Christmas season, we, might with pro-
fit turn our minds toward the meaning
Of this worldwide celebration We in
stinctively think of the angels song OF
Peace on earth, good will to men,,
when the birth of Jesus was announced.
But let us leap the span between the
birth of Jesus to his manhood.
When he had reached maturity, Jesus
was one day preaching in the syna-
gogue in the town of Nazareth, where
he had been brought up. He was
handed the Book of Isaiah, the great
Hebrew prophet: one of the LIST to reject
the doctrine that might makes right
and Jesus proceeded to read: THE
Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because
He hath anointed me to preach the
gospel to the poor; He hath sent me
to heal the brokenhearted to preach
deliverance to the captives and recover
ing of sight to the blind; to set al
liberty them that are bruised to preach
the acceptable year of the Lord"
The limits of space forbids giving
the details of all that this declaration
signifies, but it is clear that it implies
the redemption of the common people

tons had developed that you did MOI
konw about You had to learn about
them, and you could make your dis
coveries only through experience. And
many of us learn through the mistakes
we have made Experience is one o.
lifes great teachers.
The world moves so fast that none
of us can keep ahead of it. There is
always so much to be learned, even by
the wisest of us.
This is what makes life a great ad-
venture. A life that holds no surprises
would be a very dull experience
And so, lets face the new year with
confidence.
Anyway-here's a message that will
give new hope and courage for every
day throughout the year:
The world is wide
In time and tide
And-God is Guide
Then do not hurry.
That man is best

And-leaves the rest
Then do not worry.

there are still those who are poor

years before that to this end every

 Yet the child might be justified. It is disrespectful for any adult to treat any child discourteously. A child is as much of person as an adult, and is entitled to the same courtesy and respect an adult gets.

Don't insult him by ignoring his questions or half listening to his, attempts at con- versation Don't give brusk orders, Hand me this" Run and get me that" soften them with Please or a Would you mind You'd never give orders in such a way to an adult, not even to person hired to receive your orders.

make for diScontent and ineffici- ency. In the same way your child, treated with careless .disrespect, will resent you and your authority, and will grow rebellious.
 A common form of disrespect- fulness among problem parents is the habit of discussing a child's faults with other people in front of the child. Such rudeness!
 ''Yes, I have the same trouble about Jim's posture. See how he sits there all slumped forward, though I've told him and told him. :. Imagine how Jim feels to hear himself spoken of as if he were a puppy; to hear his faults paraded before an outsider. And it's just as embarrassing for a child to hear his mother repeat his cute sayings right in front of him. What can he do but squirm?
 The problems of problem par ents would diminish if they'd learn to be respectful.

SINGER MEl(HIOR
 DESCRIBES HUNT
 FOR BROWN BEAR
Metropolitan Opera Star Through Juneau with
 Alaska Trophy

A big bear fell before a big man on the Alaska Peninsula a few weeks ago when Lauritz Melchior, famous Metropolitan Opera tenor, shot a brownie whose skin meas ured 10 feet by 10 feet, three inches.
 A southbound passenger on the steamer Baranof here today, Mel chior described the hunt. He said he and Guide Andy Sirlons en- countered the bear when it sud- denly stood on it's hind E1egs 10 yards in front of them as they walked along a trail. The brownie reared better than 12 feet tall, the singer said
 Melchior admitted he retired in haste before turning around to shoot the animal.
 Excellent Skin
 The bear was an old one, prob ably between 30 and 35 years ot age, Simons told Melchior. The skin is described as excellent.
 Melchior said he shot the big bear near newly named Melchior Lake, which lies southwest of Old Mother Goose Lake, 150 miles from Naknek
 The Alas ska hunt Melchior described as wonderful. He said he usually does his hunting on his estate in Germany near the re- cent border of Poland. A recent letter from Germany informed him all of his hunters were now in the German Army. Melchior is a Dane,
 Beautiful Scenery
 The singer said the most wonder ful sight he ever beheld was the scenery on the airplane trip from Seward to Naknek, a flight on which the plane circles Alaska Pen insula volcanoes.
 He took 1000 feet of colored mo- tion pictures during his stay in AL aska. Twice since being in the Ter ritory he has sung, once at the Ketchikan Rotary Club and again for hunters at Cooper Landing.
