Christmas Message
No Room For Jesus

In keeping with the decree of
Caesar, Joseph and his expectant
wife Mary went up from Nazareth
to the City Of Bethlehem to be
taxed, and so it was that while
they were there the days were
accomplished that she should be
delivered, and she brought forth
her first born son and wrapped
Him in swaddling clothes and laid
Him in manger because there
was no room in the inn.
What a tragic story these few
words tell-An inn keeper that had
no room for his saviour. What a
cold reception to give One who
came to bring peace and good will
to strife torn world. Strange as
it may seem that throughout His
life from the manger to the cross
Jesus tried to enter the lives of
many people but could not because
they "had no room for Him."
AS we pause briefly to coname-
morate the birth of Him of whom
it was said nearly two thousand
years ago-and there were in the
same country shepherds abiding
in the fields keeping watch over
their flocks by night, and 10, the

The only reason the shepherds
and the wise men found Jesus in
the manger on that first Christmas
morning was because the inn was
too crowded to receive Him. The
record would have been different
had the innkeeper made room for
Jesus, but instead the manger op-

UNWARRANTED
INTERFERENCE
(From Christian Science Monitor)

If two persons in the United
States armed services, one a Ro-
man Catholic and the other a nom
Catholic, wish to marry in the
United States, that is a matter be-
tween them and their consciences
or between them and their respec-
tive churches.
If two persons in the United
States armed services, one Ro-
mon Catholic and the other a nom
Catholic, wish to marry while on
duty at an American base in Spain
then, under an agreement
drawn in Madrid, the United
States Government, through the
military commanding officer, will
intervene and refuse to permit the
ceremony unless the Catholic
party has obtained approval of
Catholic authorities in Spain.
This means, in effect, that the
authority of the United States is
used to compel obedience to
Roman Catholic canon law on the
subject, since under that law
Catholic bishop will not approve
a mixed marriage unless the nom
Catholic party has agreed to rear
all children of the union in the
Catholic faith.
The Madrid agreement is being
very carefully reviewed in Wash
ington. 1t should be. And it should
not be allowed to go into effect
containing the clause described
above.
1t is true that when American
service personnel are on duty
abroad they are guests of the
country in which they are station
ed. If one of them destroys private
property or engages in black mar
keting, he should be accountable
to local authorities. If he wishes
to marry citizen of the country
where he is serving, it may be held
that the prospective bride is sub

THE SOUTH
DOES NOT FORGET
(Laurinburg Exchange)

To millions of Southerners of
succeeding generations the name
Republican as applied to the Re
publican party is anathema. The
South does not forget; it was de-
feated and it accepted defeat in
good conscience. But the Republi-
can party as a party was stigma
tized, not because of the War be-
tween the States, or the Negro,
but because it is and forever will
be associated with one of the
blacklist chapters in the history of
the American Union-the period
of reconstruction and the carpet
bag era that followed the Civil
War.
And to this day there are mil
lions of Southerners, who despite
the fact they are broad-minded and
tolerant of spirit, still regard it
little short of treason to vote a
Republican ticket. Intelligent Re-
publicans of the North know this
and understand it. And they know
that it is extremely doubtful if the
Republican party ever makes head
way in the South, and this despite
the Eisenhower victory in 1862.
Yes, the North and the Republi-
cans licked us, and tried to humili-
ate US, but they couldn't make US
love them.
That raises new question about
desegregation of the public schools.
Who presses that issue and makes
it hard for the Southern states
should take lesson from the past.
Law and force are one thing, but
the heart of a people is another
thing. And the heart is not won by
coercion.

BREAKS FOR THE MOTORIST
(Chowan Herald)

An amusing and also significant
commentary on the kind of serv-
ice we expect from service sta
lions is found in a sign New
England operator posted when he
took vacation. 1t read: eve are
closing up for two weeks. The
services we usually provide may
be had at the following places: 1.
General Naturalization cop on
beat. 2. Cokes-at corner drug
store. 8. Rest Rooms-at home. 4.
Change-a bank across the street.
5. Petty Loan-also at bank across
the street. 6. Charity-at County
farm. z. Matches-from passerby.
8. Daily Newspapers-from news
boy. 9. Loafing-in the street.
Actually-afl humorous exag-
gerations to one side-the typical
American service station knows no
superiors and few equals. 1t is
symbolic of our highly competitive
oil industry in particular-and of
our free system of doing things in
general. The contrast with the
service stations in most other
countries is striking. When the re-
tired president of the Automotive
Safety Foundation returned from
European motor trip last sum-
mer he was asked about the for
eign stations, and he said: "No-
body wiped my windshield or
checked my oil. They have simply
never heard of such a thing as
service over there. What do you
mean, were the rest rooms clean?
They never heard of rest rooms Z.
AS for the TBA-as we call tires,
batteries and accessories sales
they never heard of that either"
The American motorist really
gets the breaks.

HELICOPTER TAKES HUNTER
FROM COROLLA TO HOSPITAL

Charles Eastman, 46, of Green's
boro, vice-president of the North
Carolina Wildlife Federation, was
taken to the Albemarle Hospital by
helicopter Thursday morning after
suffering heart attack or stroke
while hunting at the Whales Head
Club at Corolla.
Eastman arrived at the club
Wednesday to get in SINE wildfowl
hunting. Early Thursday morning,
accompanied by a guide, he went
to the blinds. While the guide was
putting out decoys Eastman re-
manned behind to practice goose
calling with a new caller. When
the guide returned to the blind he
saw that Eastman was ill.
He was taken to nearby truck
and carried back to the gun club
and a call was amde to the Eliza
beth City Coast Guard station for
aid. A helicopter piloted by 1t.
Elvin Yates picked Eastman up
and returned him to the local sta
ton from which he was transfer
red to the hospital.
