all of us.
Still, Yule, with it's sweet mem

The mothers n housewives have so

The wife can buy her hubby a

pick scrap with her n break off
the engagement save himself

the holidays, when things have
cooled off, he can make up again.
Lovers like 2 quarrel is in a

Sister Hilda is still sticking it
out" She is still at loss to under
stand how some of her visitors
get that way or why they persist
in the old wearisome rut, but she
doesn't want to talk about it at
any length.
1T is not for us to judge" she
says. Rather, she puts all worldly
questions aside. The only question
that really counts is her relation to
God and how she can be willed ev-
er stronger by the spirit of Christ
SO she can succeed in her work,
and certainly not for her own ma
terial welfare.
She tells us about some PROB
lens from her own private life, her
inner life, which the ordinary run
of people would resolve by split
ting headache, an emotional out
hurst or some materialistic diver
sion. There is no other solution but
absolute love, she says, the love OF
God.
Her intense preoccupation with
God is certainly not of the arm
chair type. 1t is constantly related
to the problems and exact situa-
tons of her work. For instance,
she may be handling" the case
of a habitual drunkard, who is
going to pieces. He is alone, he is
unwanted, he feels it, and he
scorns help refutes it vehemently
at times. He goes from worse to
worse. and he becomes very i'll,
somewhat of a walking skeleton
Because he's so hard to get along
with, hospitals have even refused
to operate on him. Sister Hilda
and Pastor Bracher seek him out,
make it their personal job to get
him in hospital and receive the
care he needs. Then it is learned
that he has TB, that it is far-gone.
He is sent to a sanitorium, were
he causes more trouble. Is it hope
less? They never know for sure.
Half of the time, they're working
in the dark, not knowing whether
their work will bear the desired
fruit. But continue they must, just
as hard as ever, and that's the
real test of their endurance and
patience.
And this, in way, is our person
al test of Sister Hilda's viewpoint.
Didn't she think that environment
was really to blame for the tough
cases? Answering that in the af-
firmative is popular and satisfying
and most people will leave it at
that. But not Sister Hilda. The
spirit is the only thing that mat
tiers, she says, in effect, there Is
no environment without spirit, II
won't help to change the environ
ment without changing the spirit.
II you can change the spirit of a
habitlml drinker, for instance, for
the better, he'll be good in any
environment, and improve 1t, too.
1t seems that we worry and fret
much over the. environment of
Christmas, and think little Of its
spirit. We seem increasingly dedi-
Gated to the proposition that
Christmas Is something to be &C.
quired from without, something
to be bought and traded like a
commodity.
And yet, II We all ACTED like
Sister Hilda acts toward her fell
lowmen. we would have. q merry
Christmas where II costs the least
and IL worth the most, and where
II truly belOngs-in our hearts.

to. AS far as we know, she en-
bodies the Christmas spirit and
message, come rain or shine. every
day of the year. In sense, she's
q sort of female Santa Claus, but
her gifts can not be counted in
dollars and cents.
You will perhaps recall We had
a story about her about two years
ago. She was then characterized
as she still is. as the Angel of

her time caring for the buns, if
you wish, or the unfortunate ones
who saunter about in a desert of
stone, really Seattle's skid road, in
her neighborhood. Gods Address"
n Washington Street. is the home
of many a homeless one in an
area where buildings stand side
by side, but where hearts are miles
apart. 1t is Sister Hilda's job to
try to mend those hearts bring
them closer to each other and
nearer their God. And. of course,
she isn't alone there. There is, for
instance, the guiding hand of Pas
tor Edwin Bracher. They have the
backing of various Lutheran or

special meal for it's go steady

10th year with the Mission. The

Special Privileges
For Woman Jurors
Opposed by Almond
BY the Associated Press

ROANOKE, Va. Dec. 8.-Attor-
ney General j. Lindsay Almond
jr., said in Roanoke last night
women should not be able to get
out of jury duty any easier than
men.
He said in a talk to the Asso-
'ciation of Commonwealth's Attor-
neys of Virginia at Hotel Roanoke
that the difference in the law in
itself is discrimination.
Women are notified when the
jury list is made up each yea,
that they are on the list. If q
woman does not want to serve
she can notify the jury commits
sion within Is days and her name
is removed from the list.
Mr.. Almond maintained that IL
should be left up to the presiding
judge whether or not a juror. man
or woman. should be excused.
He declared that women are
making good jurors and shoulc
serve on juries, but he feels thai
the law. to be sound, should moi
discriminate between the sexes.
Mr.. Almond said he under
stands a bill embodying this
change will be presented to the
General Assembly in January.
The Attorney General made this
observation in his preliminary re.
marks concerning the relationship
of his Office to the common
wealths attorneys in an address
devoted to morality in Govern
Iment.
Mr. Almond attacked what he
described as the "desecration OF
public trust" in Washington and
declared that no public official
regardless Of party, can defend OF
Icondone conduct that violates the
sacred trusts Of public Office.
"Virginia's laws against gam
bling are probably adequate. It's

adequate" he emphasized, land

In Labor's S History
By the Associated Press

CHICAGO. Dec. 8.-Walter P.

"the struggle on the political front

Doesn't Think
 Much of "Wreck" On Kenai Mount

SEWARD, R)- Veteran bush pilot Chris Christensen says today he doesn't think much of a report of airplane wreckage in the noun tains near here.
 First reports indicated the wreck age possibly could be that of a DC-4 Korean airlift plane which vanished with 38 aboard July 21. An Air Force trail crew leader also cast doubt on the report but said it would be investigated fur ther.
 Christensen, who makes tw o regular daily flights over the area, said he believed the "Wreckage" is nothing more than patches of ice" and could easily be mistaken for Wreckage. He said it was his plane which flew over the area with the civilian who had first re- ported sighting the wreckage through binoculars.
 Low ceiling and mountains pre- vented sighting anything at that time, Christensen said, but he had a good look at it yesterday and is positive it is nothing but ice patches"
 There are remnants of many glaciers in the area.

The 8-year-old fell on the sidewalk and an incisor tooth was pushed up into the jaw, almost out of sight. The dentist to whom he was rushed, decided to attempt saving the tooth by replantation, a difficult procedure. He removed the uninjured tooth. and while it soak ed in aureomycin, the socket was cleaned. The dentist held the tooth in place for 20 minutes while a tenn porary blood clot formed.
