Catholic Thought And Opinion
 By REV. JOSEPH F. DONNELLY

used by political adventures corn- peting for the mastery of their fel- lowmerl.
 When Christians commemorate Christmas and recall the tender story of the Crib of Bethlehem they must realize-and, today more than ever-that they hold the key that can unlock the kind of future for which the war-torn and bleeding world unknowingly seeks. The great dogma of Christ's Incarnation and Redemption is no remote theolog- ical mystery. The realization of it's truth changed the course of his- tory; the forgetfulness of its mean ing is the root cause of the disor- ders in the world on this sad war; time Christmas of 1944.
 BISHOPS STATEMENT
 Inserting in the Congressional Record the official statement of the Catholic Bishops on the Dumbarton Oaks conference, Rep. Emmanuel Celler of New York declared: "Of all the statements that have been issued concerning the Dumbarton Oaks conference, the most construc- tive was that by the Catholic Biz shops of the United States. It is an ethical and moral approach as well as a practical and concrete one.
 '"The Bishops very wisely pointed out the need for an informed and militant public opinion to prevent running the risk of a bad peace and a return to power politics, triple all dances, triple ententes and various combinations of nations that for ment wars.
 'The Bishops caution that the so- called assembly of nations suggest ed by the conference must include both large and small nations and, though provision is made therefore and the Bishops recognize the req condolences of setting up security council of five strong nations, the statement warns against the use of the council by one or more mem- bers as means of imperialistic dom- ination.
 "The statement of these prelates adds up to an historical document worthy of every mature considera- ton, and I hereby place it in the Congressional Record"
 AND THE ATLANTIC CHARTER
 With timeliness we might quote here one brief paragraph from this highly praised document since it has probably already classified the outcome of the war.
 We have no confidence in peace which does not carry into ef- feet, without reservations or equivo- cations, the principles of the At lantic Charter If justice is com promised, if unreasonable conces- sions are made to might, grievances will rankle in the bosoms of the aggrieved nations to endanger the peace of the world"
 Could the Bishops have had the fate of Poland and the Baltic States | in mind?

hev. J. DOnneAy' years ago.
 The Babe of Bethlehem and the Prince of Peace! Because His birth took place mankind was afforded a new hope for the future. After cen- turies of rising and falling ciyiliza- ions that seemed to lead nowhere, with men moving around and around in circles, with life without meaning save for perhaps privi- legged few, man was given new gos- pei. That gospel gave him the as- surance that each and every human life had an infinite value in the eyes of God
 NEW GOSPEL
 He knew that he was lifted out of the disorder of sin. He knew that in membership in Christs church he was a part of Christ Himself in His Mystical Body. He knew that as 8
 member of his family, as citizen of his country, as a man of the world of business or science or the shop, every action that he might perform had a place in Gods design. He knew that what was true of himself was true of every human being that would be born into the world.
 To this Christian gospel the world owes everything which men value. The conception of progress, the rights of man, the political ideals of democracy, the motive power of so- cial reform, the desire that less fav- ored people should be raised to a higher level of civilization, all these are consequences of the gospel which the Incarnate God gave to mankind during the few years be- tween His birth in stable and His death on a cross.
 REJECTED AGAIN
 Yet where are we today? The vision of Gods pattern, where it is not wholly lost, is so hopelessly blur red that, while men still invoke to old words, freedom, rights, culture, they are without any idea of how they can be attained. And even more deplorable, they have become for many mere counterfeit coin to be

CRABAPPLE TREE
 PATENTED BY MAN
Showers Down Sweet Crabapples /; Fruit Pink
 All Way Through
By FREDERICK c. OTHNTAN IHIniAA.I nnAn GAnA ANAf l

0y ENGOGNANA Ns O4 LYMAN United Press Stan Correspondent
 Washington, Dec. 26 - (UP.) - You ever sink your teeth in crab apple?
 If so you can appreciate the Christmas gift to the nation of Carl A. Hanson, of Brookings, s. D., who patented (and has the papers to prove iD 8 crabapple tree which showers down sweet crabapples.
 How you go about inventing a crabapple tree I do not know, but Hanson proved to the U. s. Patent Office that his crabapple tree is bet ter than anybody else'S. Not only is its fruit sweet when raw, but it's pink all the way through, like Texas grapefruit, and that fact alone is likely to revolutioni0e the art of jelly making.
 It's hard to come by coconuts in days like these, but if you ever get your paws on one, then patent number 2,364, 1858 as issued to Jac- quelin Dewitt Rector of San Leon- dro, Calif., is the piece of machinery for you. Mrs. Rector has invented a coconut meat extractor. She des- cribeS 1t as Q mandrel with blades; mandrel is a handle; blades you know about. You SquooSh Mrs. Rec- tors invention in coconut, Squig- gle it around a couple of times and out comes the meat. curled up like Shavings. So much for good eating.
 The year-end inventors have not let this nation down in other fields of human endeavor, either. Consider the beautiful brooch invented by Clinton J. Davidson of San Diego, Calf.
 This brooch, which any lady would be proud to wear, bears sign, out lined in Diamonds or maybe glass, which says: Pull" Hanging down handy-iS a chain, which can be gold, or even grass.
 You go up to the lady and pull the chain. Her brooch pops open, revealing another sign which says: Hello. I love you. Whats your name?'
 Friends, I swear it. That's what Davidsons invention says on the in side and you can easily see how it might come in handy.
 If I had an automobile, I'd like to have it equipped with patent number 1885, ,454, the automatic window opener of Daniel L. Chand- Ter, Salem, Mass, and George w. Ewing of Peabody, Mass. Too windy Ill your sedan? Push button and the Chandler Ewing electric mo- tor in the bottom of the door turns the Gears and hoistS the window. Too hot? Touch another button and the machinery let's the window down.
 We come finally to the art of controlling toboggans. If you ever started down Q mountain on skis with toboggan behind you loaded with Pemmican, bonded whisky, or other heavy cargo, you undoubted- ly were run down and maimed by the juggernaut in the rear.
 That's what's been happening to Avery M. Cochran of the U. s. Army, who practiced for months to be a ski trooper in the mountains near Colorado Springs, Colo. Every time he'd start out with tobog- gan load of anything, he'd get the skin knocked off the backs of his legs.
 He wearied of this, finally, and invented a toboggan with brakes. This device necessitates a motor man and a conductor. The motor man goes in front and steers with
