STORIES
  CHRISTMAS REVEALED

Fortunately, the t"idsa in the minds of some to tell the truth to the kiddies-that there isn't a Santa Claus-isn't catching on as we'll as they hoped.
 Everybody-and this includes the kids-enjoys a good story, especially around the Christmas season,
 Down through the years have come many beautiful stories jam med with the kindness of the best in humanity. It is from such stor- ies that many of our Christmas customs have come, For the ob- servance of such customs the United States is indebted to many lands. Palestine. Egypt. Turkey, Italy, Ger many, England and Holland all have done their bit to contribute to cur added enjoyment of Christmas customs and traditions. To the Holy Land, more than any other, all civ ilization is indebted for the match less history of the Christ child.
 One writer who has investigated the observance of the birth of the Christ Child has noticed one cur ious fact. That is, Christmas was not among the earliest festivals of the church. Iranaeus and Tertul- Han, early church fathers, omitted it from the list of feasts. Accord ing to what Origen noticed in the Bible, only sinners. not saints. cele- brated their birthday.
 It was in the year 200 A. D. that evidence of the feast of Christmas was first noted This was in Egypt. And it wasn't until years afterwards that December 25 was decided upon as being the date for the celebra- tion of Christ's birthday. During that time Christmas was celebrated on various days, one of the dates being as late as May 20. Eight hundred years after the first feast of Christmas, church authorities used the term Christes Maessi, from which comes the English word Christmas This was in I038.

BETHLEHEM, N. H.,
 LIKE TINY VILLAGE
 OF REAL NATIVITY

BETHLEHEM, N. H.-This peace full little christmas town nestled in the New Hampshire hills bears a striking resemblance to the Holy Village for which it was named. Its location is similar to that of Bethlehem in Judea. and strange ly enough, it is a village of inns end Jewish people, just like the real Bethlehem in the beautiful story of the Christ Child. This similarity exists however, only in summer when 32 magnificent ho- tels, taverns and inns, nine of which observe the Jewish dietary laws, are hosts to those who come, year after year, to enjoy the beauty of green fields and purple mountains At Christmastide the population is less than a thousand souls, and most of them are natives whose hardy an cestors built their log cabins along Bethlehem streets where the palatial hotels now stand.

SPORTSMAN CUTS
 TREES CORRECTLY

The true sportsman of the woods, when cutting Christmas trees tafter obtaining permission) will not cut trees so close to the highway that their felling will mar the roadside beauty. He will, when possible, take his trees from crowded clumps, where thinning will benefit other trees, and he will not chop and chop until he finally finds the tree he wants, leaving the others to die and dry out, causing summertime fire hazard.

Miracle Eye!

In the midst of the devastation of global war, let's call a recess from the news of the battlefront and visit the sector where science IS advancing-constructively.
 You've heard a great deal, now and then, about progress in the field of electronics. So come with me to the laboratories of the Schenley Research Institute at Lawrenceburg, Indiana, and get your first look at a rare new pre- cision instrument called an "elec- tron microscope. .' It is one of the few in the United States today and was developed and perfected by RIGA Laboratories.
 To give you just a slight idea of the magnifying power of this magic instrument, we'll take a human hair which is about fifteen ten thousandths of an inch in diameter and, presto, you look at 1t through this microscope and it's size has changed to the proportions of the Washington Monument! That single human hair has been magni- fled about thirty thousand diam eters. By making use of photo graphic enlargements, this magni- fication can be still further increased to one hundred thousand diameters. Think of this as com pared with ordinary optical micro scopes which magnify objects from two to three thousand times.
 The human eye can now see ob- jecta which il has never gazed upon before; whose existence may have been suspected but which have, heretofore, never been seen. Here is a new "weapon," indeed, which is being used in our research lab oratories to help hasten the day when penicillin, the miracle drug" which we are producing will be- come available, through mass pro- duction, at greatly reduced cost.
 And the electrOn microscope is expected to play an important role, also, in the remaining days of the war. It will enable chemists and bacteriologists to widen their investigations of fermentation in the production of essential war alcohol; in the studies of yeast, which changes grain sugars into alcohol required for explosives and synthetic rubber; for new research on the vitamins which enrich live stock and poultry feeds processed from the residues of grain, which is used in making alcohol and in normal times-whiskey.
 We'll say, again and again, that scientific progress can never be halted come plaques, or wars or holocausts. Men and women in white keep marching on-with their eyes on the starsl

ON THE WASHINGTON FRONT
By Jack Stinnett

WASHINGTON - Strategists in both the War and Navy depart ments and among planners for world peace are plenty worried about the dreadful drubbing we have been taking in China
 It's rather surprising that the critical defeats in China haven't made bigger headlines. Both Chi nese and U. s. Army censorship Cnot entirely unwarranted for mili- tary reasons); and the delicate po- litical situation in China are part ly responsible, according to officials here. But the fact remains that the catastrophe possibilities of t h e Japanese successes in China have hardly been publicly explored at all.
 At their best they could mean some months prolongatfon of the war with Japan and a consequent additional loss of Allied lives and

Allied billions. They might also mean a change in war strategy. which was to see us driving inland from the east China coast to form Ia junction with the great Chinese armies that. with American sup plies. could sever Japans overland lifeline to French Indo China, Thailand, Burma and the Malay peninsula. It is considered possible here that that strategy already has beeh abandoned and will only be resumed if China can put it's politi- cal and military house in order
 
 Already these defeats have wiped out five great American air bases in eastern China, built with the back-breaking work of hundreds of thousands of Chinese hand laborers, taking months for a job that our engineers could do in a couple of weeks, and maintained with sup plies flown tortuously over the hump of the Himalayas, where five gallons of gas must be expended to bring in one.
 At the worst, further defeats in China might mean that China would have to be abandoned alto gether as an active military ally and the war against Japan carried to it's successful continuation with 10 more than a few port bases on the east China coast and Formosa.
 Such abandonment. according to persons back from Chungking, would almost certainly result in fresh outbreak of Chinese civil war which has never enjoyed more than an armed truce lulled by com mon dangers.
 This, of course, is the gloomiest prospect of what could happen if the picture in the China theater continues to worsen. All isn't yet lost by any means. Maj Gen. Claire L. ChennaulL. whose heroic .pre-Pearl Harbor Fighting Tigers and present U. S. 14th air force have written one of the most hero ic air records of the war, announc- ed recently that the almost com pleted Japanese corridor to h e south will avail them little. And it's no secret that Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek is making a seri- uos effort now to put China S house in order and repair the dam age.
