Those Forowoy Elections

~ in all probability, would be the
comeback of most of our people If they
were told that the Labor Government OF
New Zealand has just lost an election IA
years after they took over governmental
responsibility in that faraway land.
Even more inexcusable is the fact that
q great many of our people pay little or
no attention to important elections in our
own country. Certainly this is proven by
the fact that millions of them never vote
in any single election. Somehow they just
don't seem to understand that every cleo

summer, recommended that
price reductions, not price in
creases, were in order.
y y
Steel executives tried to
convince public that price in
creases were based on in
creased costs of pensions won
by CIO steel union.
But consider these facts:
4 Nobody has suggested
that pensions would cost U. S.
Steel between $50 and $50
million, which is what big
steel firm will make from
higher prices.
X Cost of scrap steel, bought
in big quantities by steel
makers, has tumbled in price
from $43 a ton to about $26
a ton. Companies make mil
lions out of these lower costs.
4 Economist Bob Nathan,
testifying for steel union last
summer, pointed out that
steel industry could pay out
pension costs and still make
very handsome profits indeed.
1t looks to many econom-
lists as if steel industry is 60
ing to make money" out of
pensions-by charging public
far more than cost of pensions
in new price hikes.

81 Million For Politics
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY'S

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY'S national
finance committee just announced that
1t will spend 81 ,952 ,450 in the coming con-
gressional election campaign. The drive
to raise this nice little bundle will start
right after the holidays.
And you can bet your bottom dollar
right now that these gentlemen will raise
their So million bucks in hurry.
How much of this dough will pour
into our pivotal State of Ohio to help
Senator Taft in his campaign for another
year term of course, is military"
secret. But it is a foregone conclusion
that a major part of this slush fund will
find its way into the wards and precincts
of the Buckeye State. Admittedly, the Re-
publicans are preparing to spend huge
sums to make sure that their favorite SEN
ator will not be compelled to move back
TO Cincinnati.

strength comes not from dol
lar bills but from loyalty and
devotion of workers to their

Their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet,
The words repeat
OF peace on earth, good will to men,"
The blithe tinkle of sleighbells across
the snow, the triumphant peal of the
church bells in quiet town or in cavernous
city street, the clear piercing notes of the
carlton in the high tower, echo in the
Christmas season.
To many of us their music brings mem
cries The wide sweep of the bells seems
to bridge the abyss of time, not saddening
with their recollections, but bringing very
near and dear the places, the people who
are no more.
The remembered happiness of other
Christmas Days is very precious - but
Christmas is not day just for memory.
1t celebrates not DEATH but birth -
the birth of the Prince of Peace. 1t is
holy day, on which if we keep it rightly
we must share of our own blessings, in His
name
The Christmas Bells swing back-but
they ring forward too. Their song is a
challenge, call to renew our faith, and to
exemplify that faith in our lives.
The Christmas bells ring out. Let them
ring out of our lives the corrosion of
hatred, the enveloping fog of prejudice,
the soaring flame of resentment, the
smothering weed of impatience, the frost
of pride and the fever of envy.
The Christmas bells ring in. Let them
ring into our lives the strength of renew
ed belief, the kindliness Of understanding,
the serenity of an honest spirit, the or
derliness of mutual trust, and the beauty
of loving kindness.
Then will the music of the Christmas
Bells echo the music of the angels song
in our hearts and in our homes not only
on that Day of Days, but throughout the
year.
"God help US every one to share the
blessing of Jesus;
In whose name we keep Christmas.
