True Christmas Spirit

Unfortunately, all the furry and
preparation associated with Christ

Burial Place of Santa
Suid To Be in Italy

CANTA CLAUS, otherwise st.
- Nicholas. otherwise the one-time
bishop Of Myra In Asia Minor, is
buried In Bari, Italy. His body was
stolen from its original tomb In
Myra and swiftly borne to Bari by
Italian sailors, who thought back In
1887 that a saints body brought
prosperity and good luck to your
town.
st. Nicholas, who was tortured
and imprisoned for his faith during
the reign Of Emperor Diocletian,
found no rest In his first tomb at
Myra. Always soma expedition was
attempting to remove his remains.
However, once buried again In
Bari, the saints body was credited
with curing 80 people Of distemper
and performing other miracles. So
Bari became a place of pilgrimage,
and the legends about st. Nicholas
multiplied apace.
We owe u notion of Santa Claus
as a secret dispenser of gifts to a
story that st. Nicholas once saved
three girls from a life Of prostitu-
ton by throwing purses of gold
through a window in Patara, thus
permitting a poverty stricken noble
man to give his daughters suitable
dowries as custom demanded.
In addition, st. Nicholas was
credited with restoring life to some
boys who had been slain and dis
membered by a wicked innkeeper Of
M~yra-hence the occasional stained
glass windows in which the saint Is
shown beside three lads in a tub.

direct question by Joseph Hu- dock. He wondered whether or not federal funds would be avail. able to a Presbyterian hospital. II was explained that the hospital was Presbyterian in name only. that the name was decided on out of gratitude for a generous con tribution. Further, it was pointed out that the application for Hin Burton funds had gone m under the name of the Valley Presby- terian Hospital and had already been approved.
 The late announcement of the name brought out protests that money raised locally might have been raised under somewhat false pretenSes. Some members of the Valley Fund Raising Committee who had been charged with pulp licity for the campaign made it clear that the name had not been made known and that the cam paign for funds in the Palmer and Anchorage areas had been made for the Valley Hospital of Palmer. To offset these objec- tions, the hospital attorney, Paul Robson, made the following sug- gestion: If anyone gave money to the Valley Hospital who would not have contributed to the Val ley Presbyterian Hospital, the money should be returned if ne asks for it. It was agreed by the chairman and treasurer of the Valley Hospital Fund Raising Committee that this would be done.

The Paradox
By BOB KLEIN

l am resolved, I am. ann
 No New Years resolution To improve my lot.
 I'll give some thought To a more fruitful solution. l am resolved, l am. l ann
 To waste no precious moments To build with every stroke of pen And aid no useless foment. Those precious few
 Of useful years Tha. still remain for me
 To build a better wine of life And teach philosophy. l am resolved, I am. l am!
 To be with me, all honesty, And put my fragile conscience In no useless jeopardy. No VOW of mine, on New Years
 Day
 Will cause me pain or guilt, For I shall only do my best For that's the way I'm built. Aw! Would that we
 All knew our strength
 To gauge an honest try. Could measure off
 Our weight and length

NPBM Offers Funds

Last year, Rev. Armstrong con- tinued, it was learned that there were Territorial and federal mon
 ies available for a new hospital in Palmer if local monies could be
 raised for matching. Katherine Gladfelter, secretary of NPBM, suggested the raising of funds by the women of the Presbyterian church across the nation for the Valley Hospital. Rev. Armstrong stressed the fact that this project "a community hospital merely helped by the NPBM-is the only one of it's type either in Alaska
