will be many Christmas cards and
Christmas letters. Let us think
carefully of some lonely boy or girl
in our community who may not re-
ceive such a message unless you

More than that, think Of the

intermediate boys and girls can
seize upon numerous methods of
proving their Christian attitude as
we come on toward the Christmas
season. Discuss with your teacher
next Sunday the idea of providing
Christmas gifts for underprivileged
boys and girls of your age. If not
in your community, somewhere.
While In Europe last summer,
i was impressed with the fact
that there will be very little
Christmas for the young people in
many Of those lands this year.
War has left Its frightening DESC
1ation. The people are without
money and without homes and
without clothing and without food.
May / suggest that you discuss
plans by which you may send pack
ages through CARE to some lonely,
needy neighbor in Europe this
Christmas, thus proving your sense
Of Christian fellowship.

yZHAT Is the first test of Chris

Al.
Love one for another is the first
and last test of Christian fellow
ship. OF course, love one for an
other Is dependent upon love to-
ward God. We do not really love
n another until we first love God.
And we do not love God until we
realize that he first loves us.
Why do we keep certain letters?
Because they are from those who
love us, and whom we love. Boys
and girls can help to make this a
better world If they will express
their love one for another In letters.

Tuck Asks Assembly
To Order Joint Study
.0f Oyster Law Dispute
BY the Associated Press

Two new developments werr HI
jected today into negotiations be-
tween Maryland and Virginia to
settle oyster fishing rights in the
Potomac River.
One of these was the announce
ment by Gov. Tuck of Virginia that
he would ask today,s session Of the
General Assembly in Richmond to
pass joint resolution setting up a
study commission to work on fish,
cries problems with Maryland OH
cials.
The other was a statement de-
livered by Westmoreland County
Commemorative Attorney F. F.
Chandler, that Virginia people
don't like the (antidredging) law
and the trial juries will acquit Of
tenders on the slightest loophole." /"
Both actions were today's high
lights in the oyster fishing situation
brought about by passage of the
Maryland Senate Of a bill which
Virginians feel might abrogate a
compact Of 1785 between the two
States by providing that Virginians
arrested by Maryland authorities
would be prosecuted in Maryland
courts.
The bill so far has not been re-
ported out by a committee Of the
Maryland House of Delegates. The
compact Of 1785 provided that Vir-
ginians arrested for violating OYSTER
ing laws by dredging would be
prosecuted by Virginia courts.
In Annapolis, D. Floyd Brinsfleld
of Dorchester County, chairman OF
the House Chesapeake Bay and
Tributaries Committee, said "mem-
bers of my committee are for
passage" of a Senate-approved bill
Mr.. Brinsf1eld said the bill would
be held up at least until tomorrow
to permit the constructive session
of the Virginia Legislature to take
some action.
Gov. Lane wrote Gov. Tuck sug-
gesting that the constructive session
Of the Virginia Legislature pass a
bill similar to that adopted by the
Maryland Senate. He also asked
Mr.. Tuck to recommend adoption
of "a resolution setting up Vir-
ginia commission to meet with
Maryland group on Potomac River
fishing problems.
Mr.. Brinsfield said Maryland wa
termen and conservation officials
want something with teeth in 1t.
and want it now
