The Feast Of fhe Week

| wish | could write something
bright, smart and crisp about
Christmas. 1t would be something
that would help you get more out
of the great feast. 1t just isn't that
kind of day; no one can tell you
what to think about for Christmas.
That is a day that is His day. He,
the Son of God, Who came down
from the glory of heaven for you
will give you one warm thought
that will bring you that which is
commonly called the real thrill at
Christmas. lust warm up your
heart for Him for your Christmas
Communion. You be His Bethie-
hem, and somehow, / know, there
will be a little tear or two that
will escape to wash away all fear
and bitterness from your life. / do
hope you will have one of those
grand old Christmas Days you re-
member as child.
Think II Over
If we took time to reflect upon
what we read, we wouldn't have
time or appetite to read much.
Housing Shortage
The next time you have chance
to take a good look at the Crib,
try to picture it as it was on the
First Christmas. Jesus, Mary and
Joseph were there because of a
housing shortage and the same
lack of charity that is being
shown today. They were not
statues, though. There were drafts
there were animals, there was no
kitchen for Mary or Joseph. There
was love, and that is the answer
You may have a very comfortable
home, but if you don't go the linn
il to fill it with the love of God
it's a pity, This Christmas time
learn a big lesson from the Crib.
Bless Me Early
There is no one on earth who
works harder for Christmas than
your Father Confessor. Practically
every Catholic in the world who
has made His first Communion,
gets into line for Confession be-
cause Christmas just isn't Christ
mas if a person doesn't receive
Holy Communion. The law of the
Church requires Easter Duty, and
says nothing at all about Commun-
ion at Christmas because it is TAX
EN- for granted that this feast of
love will draw everyone back to
Christ, so the law of love does the
work. AS long as that is the case,
won't you please get to Confession
as early as possible so everyone
who needs to go to Confession will
have a chance. Saturdays Confes-

The Czadte Jocke4
By Mildred Kirkpatrick

For the first time in years, the voters of Seward have a slate of business people from which to choose the most important seats in municipal government for the next year.
 It is really gratifying to see really qualified persons willing to run for office with next year so important to the development of our city.
 This newspaper has maintain ed it's policy of hands-off the election, not wishing to endorse any one of the candidates over another, nor wanting to exert any undue influence on the minds of the voters.
 The candidates are all well known in Seward What they have done, their attitude toward city affairs, and their ability to promote the city welfare should be known to all by now, as we'll as their willingness to devote themselves faithfully and impar- tially to the offices to which they might be elected.
 It is not our intention to dis cuSs either candidate or office on this prediction eve. Most minds are made up and the election already won or lost. We do wish, however, to congratulate our selves as citizens of Seward on the opportunity of having a choice this year. We remember we'll that in 1850 there was only one candidate for the council

Alaskan Defenses Can Stop The CommieS

Washington (P)-Alaskan defenses are strong enough to withstand a Soviet attack, Staff Chief General J. Lawton Collins declared in a radio broadcast Thursday.
 The remark followed the Generals statement that the U. s. has developed atomic artillery and such weapons may be ready for combat use in the mot too distant fu- ture." He said that atomic ground weapons won't revolu- tionize ground warfare but will greatly enhance the power of defense and be of greater value in an attack.
 He added that the Army is already making plans for the day when atomic artillery and guided missile battalions will replace some conventional heavy artillery.
 Memphis-Admiral William A. Fechteler, chief of Naval operations told a meeting of the Navy League that U. s. carrier-based planes could rain atomic bombs on any target in the world within 500 miles of the sea.
 He said the ability of car rier planes to deliver A-bombs increases as the bomb be- comes smaller and lighter. He also suggested that more vessels from the Navy's moth- ball fleet be converted into various types of guided mis- sile launching ships.
