Syrian Women Of District Fete
Wife Of President Of Lebanon
BY Ruth Dean

Nine. Bechara X. el-Khoury, the
wife of the president of the Repub-
lie of Lebanon during her short stay
in the Nations Capital, has accom-
pliShed much as an ambassador OF
good will between her country and
the United States.
AS a climax to her stay. special
tribute was paid to her Saturday at
a luncheon given in her honor at
the Mayfower Hotel by the Ladies
Auxiliary of the Syrian American
Club.
1t was big day too for this group
of women of Arabic origin, many of
whom are the wives of diplomatic
representatives from the Middle
East With toast and speech they
feted the first lady" of Lebanon.
The luncheon table, arranged like
a horseshoe, was gaily decked in
the white. red and green national
colors of Lebanon, carried out in
artistically arranged flower center
piece and candle motifs.
Nine el-Khoury was to have ad-
dressed the club, but due to a throat
ailment regretted very much that
she could not respond to the tribute
paid to her by members of the club.
Speaking for her. Mrs. Charles
Malik, wife of the Minister of Leba-
non, told members how greatly i'm
pressed" Nine. el-Khoury was with
Americans of rabic-speaking origin
adding that in her opinion, Nine. el-
Khoury "in her quiet unassuming
way, is great leader" and an in
spiration for Syrian-A me ic a n
women leaders here.
Speaking for members of the club,
Mrs. Joseph S. Sado, wife of the
president of the Syrian-A American
Club, said in saluting Nine ell
Khoury, TT is heartening to learn
of the marked changes in the women
of the Arab East and of how she is
forging ahead with such rapid pro-
gress from her medieval status to

CHRISTIANITY oR .e??
Honest Doubt

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is great er." q John 9
 Often when pressing the claims of Christ upon men and urging them to believe the Gospel, I have had them seek to parry by declaring that they could not be- lieve, as they were honest doubt CTS. l suppose there is such a thing as an honest doupter, but I dislike the expression when that which men profess honestly to doubt is the infallible Word of the living God.
 Tennyson has written,
 There is more faith in honest doubt, Believe me, than in half your creeds."
 I am not so sure that Tennyson was correct; certainly not if it is question of doubting the truth of the Gospel. I would not like to go home and tell my wife some thing and have her say, Well, my dear, I am trying to believe you, but, honestly, I doubt you I believe there is more faith in honest doubt than in being too sure you are not trying to put one over on me"
 A lady said when I had ex- plained the way of life as clear ly as I knew how and shown her some plain, definite passages from the Holy Scriptures, such as John 5 24 and Mathew II 28, Well I am trying to believe"
 Trying to believe whom?"

ball playing after the first few min utes. The team attempted 57 baskets and made 20 of them. To many of the fans. this appeared to be missing a tot of 'em" Actually getting the ball into shooting position for ST times in one game is nothing short of remarkable, and sinking 20 shots is a record that any high school in the country would be proud to claim. On the average college teams never expect more than 50 per cent scoring on attempted shots.
 Although the Crimson Bears shooting ability is outstanding, it is their fast pass work, particularly a one-sided dribble pass that is evil dently an innovation of Coach An derson's, that intrigues the fans most, and spells the greatest danger for strong rivals Top scorer of the Bears was Mead with Is points, more than a third of the teams total score. Second high man was Mer- ritt with 10 points.

By SID FEEDER

New York, Jan. 5--In the old pre-war nose-mashing days, any time Beau Jack threw a punch t was 3 to 5-and no place price that it would land (a) high up among the ring lights, (b) in the small of his opponents back, or Co someplace on the referees person.
 All this is changed now. The l946 model Bouncing Beau was unveiled for some 14,871 customers in Madison Square Garden last night, and while the free whee,irS and hard driving lines were still the same as he flattened Morris Ref in four rounds of a Pier Six brawl, his old scattershot style was streamlined. Jack weighed 143l2, Ref 146ia.
 He still throws punches by the dozen, as the assorted bruises and bumps on Ref will no doubt tes- tify. But the one t m world lightweight champion of New York and other way stations, no lcnger pitches them in that wild and woody fashion.
 Now he's content tc set himself for a shot at a vital portion of his rivals anatomy, ike the chin or the stomach, unless sometime just as good shows up. And every pitch is designed to make the birdies sing for the other guy. As result, in three fllll rounds and two minutes, one second rf the fourth last night, hs missed oRly one Sunday .)uncl' right hama

Wise Men Patron
Saints of Travellers

The Three Kings of Cologne have
become patron saints of travellers,
and very appropriately, too, since
the Wise Men travelled considerably
even after their death.
Biblically we know very little
about the Wise Men. Church tradi-
ton, based on the three specifically
mentioned gifts, has established
three Wise Men and identified them
as Caspar, Melchior and Balthaser;
the Kings of Tarsus, Arabia and
Ethiopia, respectively.
Legend advances that on their
way to Bethlehem, the Magi met
at Ur and st. Matthew states that
having adored the Christ Child,
they departed into their own coun-
try by different route. Whether
each returned to his own country
or whether all three journeyed into
one country are matters for con-
lecture. Legend continues that they
were baptized, distributed their
wealth among the poor, and went
about preaching the doctrine of
peace and repentance; all three
seem to have suffered martyrdom
In India at the same time.

Do you believe in Santa Claus?
The children of Middle America
never heard Of ole Saint Nick, even
though their holiday celebration
compares happily and merrily to
our own.
Picnics and outdoor. excursions
are traditional events Of the day,
for Christmas comes in mid-sum-
mer weather there. Weeks before
the holiday, families in Ell Saliva
dor, Mexico and Panama prepare
tiny clay or wooden figures for
the creche which most homes dis
play during the universal holiday.
In Guatemala, Costa Rica and
Cuba, images of the Virgin are
carried through the streets.
Christmas celebrations and GUS
toms vary in the ten republics
which comprise Middle America
Mexico, Guatemala, Ell Salvador,
Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica,
Panama, Cuba, Haiti and the
Dominican Republic.
Nogales international., 1946-12-25

Fireworks climax the festival in
most of these republics and mar
imba bands play in bunting
bedecked parks while whole fam
lilies trek from farm to village, WIS.,
iting relatives or joining in the pub
lie merrymaking.
Mexican families string their
patios with colored lanterns and
hang the pinata, a large clay jar
shaped like a bird or animal and
filed with fruits, nuts and candies
purchased at the picturesque Christ
mas stalls in the markets. The
children are blindfolded and armed
with long sticks. They reach for
the pinata until one child breaks the
jar and the sweets tumble out to be
shared by all.
Despite the various forms of OBJ
serving the Christmas holidays
Middle America is united in its ce1e-
bration of peace with its bright
hope for inter-American interde-
pendence.

Helena, mother Of Constantine, ar
ranged for the transfer of their
bodies to Constantinople.
When the Greek Emperor was
overpowered by the first crusade in

to Milan where they were enshrined
until the latter part of the 18th CEN

ordered their removal to Cologne.
The Archbishop Of Cologne
adorned the relics with precious
jewels and enshrined them within
the Cologne Cathedral: in time.
anything which touched the skulls,
of the Three Kings was considered
as a charm against accidents,

ZeW Celebrate the
Festival of Lights

To the Orthodox Jews, the Christ
mas period was the FESTIVAL of
Lights" called Hanukkah or Cha
nuckah. Jewish history relates that
in 165 B. c. a large force of Mac
cabees met and vanquished an
army of Syrians.
Judas Maccabees entered Jerusa-
lem with his army and found it
place of desolation. He began the
work of publication and on the 25th
day of Kislev it was finished and
sacred light was lit.
In their destruction of the temple
the sacred oil was practically ex-
hausted, but they did find a jar
which they judged would burn one
day. It lasted eight days, there
fore each year the Jews decree
that the eight days previous to De-
cember Is be celebrated.

The time draws near the birth Of

The moon is hid; the night is
still;
The Christmas bells from hill

Answer each other In the mist.
Four voices of four hamlets round,
From far and near, on mead and
moor,
Swell out and fail, as if door
Were shut between me and the

Each voice four changes on the
wind,
That now dilate, and now
decrease.
Peace and goodwill, goodwill
and peace,
Peace and goodwill, to all mankind.
