PAGEANT IN BETHLEHEM
BY GAVIN NOLAN


BY GAVIN NOLAN
There was nothing spectacular.
nothing new about their entrance
into Bethlehem-Mary on a dom
key, Joseph on foot, the halter in
his hand No one noticed: no one
cared. They were poor, ordinary,
lowly Nazarenes, common peas
ants come to sign the census
rolls, footsore and weary, typical
of others who had come for days
in steady streams to the city they
called their own. Bethlehem, tiny
village. lay PROSTATE on a Judean
hill swollen with strangers,
aching with activity, moaning
aloud in drunken music and lust
full laughter -. this was the vii
Iage through which Mary and Jo-
seph picked their way. searching
for a room. From inn to inn they
went In desperation-bu always
there was no room, not single
bed, even for Mary, heavy with
child, whose time had come. At
last. alone in the quiet outskirts
they CHANGED upon a rude shelter
built for cows. and here beneath
the breath of Beasts Mary brought
forth her son, and wrapped him
In swaddling clothes and laid him
in a manger, because there was
no room for them in the inn.
Somehow nature went wild that
night, the world turned topsy-
turvy. all creation shook for joy
and bowed toward the stable. An
gels appeared to shepherds on the
hillside and sang the news that
he had come. He of whom the
prophets spoke, for the heavens
like fireworks; planets swerved;
a giant star fell from its orbit
and traced a route acI oss the
midnight sky. Wise men saw the
star and set out on camels to
adore. Nature rejoiced and laugh
ed for joy for He had come. this
child of Mary, on Christmas Day
He, the Christ. the Saviour of the
World.
Aged prophets, centuries before,
had told about His coming-holy
men with bushy boards. on speak
ing terms with Cod For God had
told them Adams crime would
one day be reversed; that he
would send His only Son to ran
som Adams children. God had
promised, and now His word was
flesh; Christ had come to save
the world from sin.
Strange birthplace for so great
birth-a stable filled with cows!
Strange place to cuddle at Mary'sl
breast, to feel the touch of gentle
hands, to listen to her lullabys!
Strange birthday for the Son of
Godl
But that is what He chose-a
strange beginning for a strange
career. For 30 years he would
live unknown, as Joseph's son in
Nazareth, earning his bread with
labor and sweat, a lowly Naza-
rene. And then one day He would
leave His home and foot His way
through Palestine, raising the
dead. curing the sick, giving sight
to the blind, His heart on fire to
do the work for which He had
come. People would follow Him,
praise His name, on Sunday try
to make Him king, and on Friday
nail Him to cross.
Strange career for the son of
God, nestled now in Mary's arms.
Strange, indeed, that this little
child should come to earth that
all men might be saved. Won
drous that this child who suckles
should be the God who made us.
Strange, but true. And GREATNESS,
we adore!

Families need elbow room-not
only physical space, but the space
that allows the mind room for ex-
preston. We are likely to be i'm
patient, one with another, when per-
sona1 idiosyncrasies irritate us
Fathers habit Of kicking off his
slippers, mothers way of dimming
the lights, juniors habit of empty
ing the cream pitcher on his dessert
sisters way of filling the bathroom
racks with personal washing can set
the family to fighting like backyard
cats.
It is not that they do not love
each other; they do. But they allow
each other no room for personal
characteristics to express them
selves. Dad feels just fine when he
kicks of his slippers; mother feels
satisfaction in beating the electric
company at its own game as she
turns OF the lights; Junior likes
cream. and sister has to wash,
doesn't she?
Very well. Accept the ragged
edges Of home life and allow one
another to have his pet oddity with
out too much to do about it. A
gentle hint from mother about that
cream business, another about using
clothes horse in another room will
help lot. AS for father and the
slippers, smile at him and enjoy his
feeling SO comfortable in his home,
among his family. And the lights
really do not matter. You can al
ways turn on one for yourself.
People have to be happy in their
own way. To be sure, that way may
at times inconvenience other people

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Loyman

The average woman who is over
weight eats too many fats and car
bohydrates, or starches and sugars.
1t Is not the green salad you eat
that piles the pounds on, but it is
the salad dressing. 1t is not the
vegetables which ruin your silhou-
ette, but the cream sauces or fats
with which they are seasoned. 1t is
not the lean meat, but the fat and
gravy. 1t is not the eggs, but the
fat you fry them in. 1t is not the
potato, but the butter you add.
So far as health is concerned you
can eat an optimum diet which in
cludes calorie poor foods. The old
idea of cutting off all starches and
sugar was all wrong, because you
require some carbohydrate in order
to burn up the body fat you are
losing. When all carbohydrates are
cut from the diet acidosis and
fatigue may result.
That is why you find baked po-
tato and whole wheat bread on my
reducing diets. You get a fair
amount of sugar from fresh fruits
and vegetables. However, If a tea
spoonful of sugar makes your morn
ing coffee more agreeable by all
means use it. 1t has only about 30
calories, and suggest that you add
this small comfort to your reduc-
ing menu.
I am offering my nine-day re-
ducing diet to you this week. 7 am
also giving you an exercise each
day to take along with your diet.
Today's exercise:
Stand still with your feet a COM
Portable distance apart and your
arms raised sidewise, shoulder
height. Bend over to the left. going
as far down toward the floor as you
can. Touch the fingers of your left
hand to the floor if possible. If not
reach as far in that direction as
you can without bending your knees.
Raise your trunk and bend to the
right, trying to touch your right
hand to the floor Raise your trunk
and continue, alternating left and
right.

of from S to 10 pounds in nine

needs this consideration from the
others. Peace In the house calls for
elbow room for every member of the
family.
1t Is surprising to note the Change
that comes over the most strongly
individualistic member of the family
when the others begin showing him
every consideration. Slowly 1t dawns
upon him that he has been talking
up too much space. and he begins
to shrink his domain and broaden
that of the others.

thick biscuits, with tender crust and
fluffy center. Have tried all recipes

cook book ones and they taste delici-

and begs for biscuits such as he ate
at my home in the midwest years

that particular recipe. I used to
make them while at home the mid

wood burning stove, whole fresh

was the secret? For 13 years have
been trying on various types stoves,
