Fifty Christmas
Wrecks in County

There were so traffic accidents
in Montgomery County during the
long Christmas weekend. Police
Superintendent James S. McAulif-
fe calls Friday the worst single
day for accidents in his memory.
Between noon Friday and mid
night Monday 10 of the so acct
dents resulted in injuries to 81
persons. There were no fatal &C.
cidents during the 36-hour period.
Nine motorists were arrested for
drunken driving.
Twenty-one of the accidents &C.
CURED Friday. Superintendent
McAuliffe blames the record-high
toll on "office parties and al
cohol." He exclaims, "At those
office parties a lot of people drink
who aren't used to liquor. Then
there's always some smart aleck
who thinks its funny to spike the
punch"

Observance Grew With Christianity

The observance of Christmas as we know it today is one of joy and peace, making it difficult for us to realize that the holiday has not always been universally recog- nized and observed.
 When Pope Gregory sent out missionaries in 60l A. D, he told them to let pagan converts weave the harmless features of their fes- tivals into the spiritual fabric of Christmas observance.
 The popularity of the Christmas observance grew with the progress of Christianity, but there were set backs. Abuses of Christmas reached such a pitch in fuedal England that the Puritan Parlia- ment outlawed the holiday in 1644. The observance declined until the middle of the 18th century when Charles Dickens published his heart-warming Christmas Carol. !"

The CHURCHILL LEGEND
Continued from page fifteen

to make a favorable reference
to the Devil in Commons"
Churchill is not often inter-
rupted by his subordinates,
and when he is, the offender
risks being burned by the heat
of a Churchillian blast.
One day Churchill suggested
a naval action, which a member
of the Admiralty board op-
posed. THE proposal is per-
haps efficacious, SIR he said,
''but it is contrary to the ira
ditions of the British Navy"
Churchill, an old Navy
hand, turned livid with rage at
this slight to his knowledge
and roared back: ''The ira
ditions of the British Navy, sir?
IN tell you what they are:
rum, lechery and the LASH"
Sealim's Toass
CHURCHILL and Stain GER
tainly had no illusions about
each other, but Stain undoubt-
edly had enormous respect for
the British Lion. Lord lSmay
recalls a dinner party at Yalta
at which Stain proposed the
following toast: ITO Winston
Churchill, the one man who
led his country into war;"
Then, turning to Roosevelt,
Stain added: ''Not like you

and | who were pushed into
war by an enemy INVASION"
One of Lord lsmay's most
amusing experiences with
Churchill came in the spring
of l945 as the war drew to a
close.
Momsy Said No
l HE Allied armies were getting
ready for the big push across
the Rhine and Ismay sent a
secret message to Montgom-
cry, telling him that Churchill
was coming to the front to
watch the crossing operation,
the great invasion of Germany.
Montgomery sent back a flat
refusal, saying that under no
circumstances would he allow
the Prime Minister to be ex-
posed to danger in the combat
zone. A long argument fol-
lowed, but Monty stood firm.
Finally. exasperated, Lord
lsmay said: What if he does
get killed, we've won the ruddy
war already, haven't we?"
Monty burst into laughter and
gave way.
Inevitably, Churchill heard
what Ismay had said. He called
him in: Thanks, Pug, old
man, | knew you were a real
friend" The End
