THE Legend of the Poinsetta"
In Mexico on a certain Christ
mas Eve many years ago. Little
Rosita was on her way to Church
for the service to Honor The
Christ Child. Other boys and
girls OF the town walked with
nimble steps and smiling faces,
but Rosita was sad. and she could
hardly drag her feet along for
she had no gift to lay at the
foot of the altar 'for the Holy
Christ.
Suddenly she remembered that
she had prayed to the Lord for
help in her trouble. So she knelt
down on the cold ground, closed
her tear filled eyes and offered
her prayer. Hardly had she fin
ished and opened her eyes, when
there before here a beautiful
plant was springing up from the
grownd with bright red leaves
like a gorgeous flower Her prayer
had been heard. Here was her
gift. She quickly gathered the
flame-colored flowers and with a
light heart she hurried into the
Church and placed them, as her
gift to the Christ Child, at the
foot of the altar.
1T was the Poinsetta.

For persons interested in rocks
for the sake of geology, they
have only to examine the building
to see the various lan1inations of
Ohio Stone. The basement is of
Springfield dolomite and Dayton
limestone of the Silurian age, and
the main entrance steps are COM
posed of Columbus limestone of
the Devonian age.
Both the main ard second
floors are constructed of the
world famous Berea sandstone Of
the Mississippian age. Red sand
stone of the same age was used
to trim the doors, windows and
tower.
The one rock III the Orton
premises not native TO Ohio is the
gigantic erratic boulder of an
orthosite, an igneous rock, in front
of the hall. A 30-ton relic of the
ice age, it was carried down
from Canada by a glacier some
25,000 years ago. Originally left
on the earth's surface about
mile from campus. the boulder
was brought to the campus about
1900.

The World Today
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON - Up The
Communists are playing 1t stupid.
1t prepares feeling here for the
most drastic measures against
communism, when and il this gov
ernment thinks they're necessary.
The $4,000 collected for the
four American filters can't COM
pensate the communists for the
hatred, contempt and revulSion
stirred up here.
That communism is bert OH
world conquest is taf,en fer grant
ed. But jailing ant. mistreating
few Americans is hardly conquest
on the grand scale.
Each irritation like that is so
minor and crude, against the lar
ger communist plan. that one may
ask: Why do the communists
stoop to this kind OF gangsterism ?
Some reasons can be guessed
at: Each such episode Is a delib-
crate needle. a slap at American
prestige; and each provides the
communist masters with another
ounce of anti-American propagan-
da.
That's the communist view, the
subjective view. 1t doesn't allow
for the fact that each. jailing ep-
isode may have an effect here
far outweighing any temporary
and small benefits the commun-
lists think they get at home.
To see the depth of the COM
munist stupidity involved in this
since this is the one country
capable of doing the most dam
age to Russia if war starts-it's
necessary to ask this question:
What's the smartest tactic for
the Communists where we're con-
cerned? It's this: to keep Amer
lean opinion divided on the action
to be taken against communism,
in kind and degree, and for this
reason:
The more united we are, not
only on the need for action, but
on the need for strong action,
the more dangerous we are.
And there has been strong di-
vision of opinion here. Last win
ter provided good example in
the debate on sending troops to
Europe. There was wide support
for the idea we should withdraw
behind the two oceans.
This was the ostrich approach
to reality, of course, since if we
withdraw, Europes will to re-
sist would be weakened. Europe
would have been ducksoup for the
Communists, if the isolationists
had won.
American thinking has been di-
vided on other great issues invol-
we'd in stopping communism, and
for various reasons, including OBJ
vious political ones.
But American reaction to the
jailing and mistreatment of Amer
leans behind the iron curtain was
instant and unanimous: A filthy,
corrupt, vicious, unnecessary, in
human performance.
1t had the effect of uniting
Americans in active hatred.
If this hatred is intensified by
new irritations it will have far
reaching effect on decisions made
by the government for those de-
cisions, famed by hate, will be
more active, not more passive
