1t might not be admitted for good reason, but

has been borne by the United States Member nations Of
this great organization have done far too little, they
doubedy feel or act as though this United States war;

but still apart on the Korean situation Britain recognizes
Red China and would vote to have her in the United Ma

her having seat in the United Nations yet these two

not make good sense to us.
The Soviet government and Satellites support Red

easy how difficult it is to bring about kind Of

One of the worst things that
Xmas does, to some people is to
carry them nose-deep in debt and
leave them there to think soberly
and suffer the rest Of the year.
They say tits better to live as a
lion for one day than to live as a
lamb all of your life.

The best attitude one should
have at Christmas tide is express
ed in the carol, 20 Come, Let us
Adore Him." In this age when al
most everything is commercial
lized, and the material things take
first place, what chance is there
for true alteration? Many people
will, as usual, have Christless

There was an informal get-together
of former Blufftonites now living in
the Rio Grande valley last Friday
night and also some Bluffton and ex-
Bluffton visitors.
1t all happened at the home of
Cecil and May Thompson in Nc
Allen, Texas. There were the Jim
Millers from nearby Mission, togeth-
er with the Dennis Brauens and the
George Hubers of McAllen and also
the DR.. Soashes enroute to their
home in Bluffton after three weeks
motor trip to Mexico City and the
Melvin Studers of Whitehouse, near
Toledo. Mrs. Studer is the former
Violetta Thompson, daughter of the
j. A. Thompsons of Spring street
While visiting at Geo. Hubers,
the Dr. Soashes read the Bluffton
News account of the death of his
father which occurred shortly after
they left on their trip. Attempts
to locate them were unsuccessful
until last week.

B. w. Travis, who fractured his left
