The Changeless Christmas Story ;.

Glory to God,~ in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men,"
 This is the changeless Christmas story to a changed and changing universe. It has been our hope in the past and it will help us now to live in an insecure and bewil- dered world. It is the unifying element that can help the United Nations achieve one world of men of good will, which is the only foundation for lasting peace. Yes, there is peace, yet there is sor- row - there is peace, yet there is suffering - there is peace, yet there is hunger, and there is want for human necessities.
 The Christmas message comes with special significance to par ents and teachers in whose keep ing lies the future of mankind. We pray for powers equal to our tasks in solving the problems that crowd upon us from day to day with the rapidity with which all things are moving and changing. We pray for the spirit of "peace on earth, good will toward men" that will endure all through the year like a prolonged Christmas Day.
 "So remember while December Brings the only Christmas day, In the year let there be Christmas In the things you do and say; Wouldn't life be worth the living Wouldn't dreams be coming true, If we kept the Christmas spirit All the whole year through?"
 - Anonymous.

Christmas is here now, and every day of the busy week ahead. It's the music of cherished carols lowering like a benediction; it's the wide-eyed wonder and unfal- tering faith of children; it's the gleam of candles, tinsel and fra grant evergreen; it's the joy of planning and sacrificing for some one you love; it's the remem- brance of friendships and antici- patton of families united; it's the prayerful renewal of faith in all that's good; it's the spiritual awakening that comes to each of us as we hear the Christmas story ''For unto you is born this day, in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. :.

ICE CREAM KEEPS BETTER OvERWRAPPED IN TINFOIL

Ice cream stored in a home freezer does much better if it is "overwrapped'' in aluminium foil.
 "The use of the overwrap pre- serves the fine quality and tex ture of the ice cream" it was noted by the University of Alaska Cooperative Extension Service.
 ''The foil keeps the tempera- ture down and reflects the radiant heat from the warmer surfaces within the cabinet" the Extension Service said.

 Christmas Tree By Two Tykes

Teddy Roosevelt almost rode roughsho d over the Christma as tree in his drive to conserve the nations forests. But two little boys put the Christmas tree and the Christmas spirit - back in the White House.
 The Christmas tree was we'll established in the United States when TR became president.
 Research experts with the World Book Encyclopedia say a Harvard professor named Charles Pollen set up one of the first known trees in America in 1882.
 President Franklin Pierce put up a tree in the White House in the 1850's to entertain the Sunday School of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. And Presi- den Benjamin Harrison contin- ued the custom in the 1890's.
 But some modern-day Scrooges convinced Roosevelt that the cut ing of Christmas trees would soon deplete the nations forests. TR promptly banned the tradition at the White House.
 However, the Old Roughrider forgot to consult his young sons.
 Archie and Quentin cared little about Presidential edicts - and less about conservation. They smuggled a tree into the mansion on Pennsylvania Avenue and set it up in Archie's room.
 The President relented, and ever since, the White House has had an indoor Christmas tree.
 TR'S concession also sent the Christmas tree industry soaring beyond the dreams of one of its founders - Catskill farmer who brought his trees to market in New York City in 1851. And it helped pave the way for new custom - the community Christ mas tree.
 In 1924, a Norway spruce was planted near the White House and later dedicated as "a national liv- ing Christmas tree"
 Two years later, giant Califor- mia redwood in Kings Canyon Ma tional Park, named General Grant after the Civil War hero. was dedicated as the Nations Christ mas Tree"
 Reaching 267 feet into the sky from a base 40 feet thick, the tree is tn second largest in the world.
 Every year, nearby towns people and visitors join in a hol- iday service and sing carols at the base of the Sequoia, which was growing on the mountain slope when Christ was born in Beth lehem.

Candles derive from an old Irish custom of putting a lighted candle in the window on Christ mas Eve to light the Holy Fam ily's way. The candles denote a house where the Holy Family would have been welcomed, not turned away as at the inns in Bethlehem.

MONEY FROM NAZIS

BELGRADE, YugosIavia, B - Alexander Lazarevic, an official of the Belgrade City Transport Co.,, received a call from the Red Cross to come get some money.
 Puzzled, he went to Red Cross headquarters and received a sealed envelope containing four coins which totaled two dinars e cents).
 It was the money he had. given up to German troops when he was taken prisoner in 1941.
 The coins returned to him are now worthless since the currency has been changed. He said he will keep them anyway for a souvenir.

OLD UNCLE FUSS

CKI AROMA CITY, Okla, R- If Uncle Fuss lives until Christ mas Eve, and he appears to be in fairly good condition, he will be 20 years old, which is quite a life span for a cat.
 Owned by MT. and Mrs Edgar F. Percival, Uncle Fuss has lost a few teeth and his sight isn't what it used to be. He sleeps on heat ing pad and is fed choice tidbits from his masters table. He re- fuses a doctor prescribed low protien diet of baby food.

Joy Is Life's Perfume

Perfumery is at the same time
one of the most useless and yet
most popular things sold. How
many thousand gallons of it, will
be sold for Christmas presents no
one knows. And yet what good is
it? A very predetermined char
acter might ask. All it does is to
smell good. All, but that is just the
point. Let the reader think back
over the happiest moments of his
or her life. Isn't it true that some
sort of fragrance pervades each
happy memory The mint in
Grandmother's back yard, the tur-
key at Thanksgiving, the smell of
the Christmas tree, and the spring
lilacs, and the perfume she wore
the night she said Eyes" An odor-
less world would be dull world.
It's the pervasive and haunting
fragrance of life that lift it out of
the commonplace.
So with joy. Unlike perfume, 1t
has no market value; but like per-
fume, it's usefulness is mainly in
direct. AS there are cheap and vul-
gar perfumes, so there are cheap

THE CHURCH FOR ALL e.
ALL FOR THE CHURC II

The Church is the greatest factor on earth for
the building of character and good citizenship
1t is a storehouse Of spiritual values. Without
strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization
can survive. There are four sound reasons why
every person should attend services regularly and
support the Church. They are: Cd For his
own sake (2) For his children's sake ~ For
the sake of his community and nation. az For
the sake Of the Church itself, which needs his
moral and material support Plan to go to
church regularly and read your Bible daily.

Good News Of a Great Joy

How stupid and twisted some
definitions of religion seem, in the
light of the Christmas story! You
may detect at least some of the
counterfeits passing for Christian
ity by this, that they are joyless,
they are without fragrance. An
enemy of Christianity once defined
religion as a sum of scrupleSz in
other words, mess of Dont's-"
A would-be friend of Christianity
defined this religion as Goods at
tack on man" We should take our
cue from the joyous angels, not
from such gloomy scholars. Did the
angels sing, YOU'D better be afraid
we have a whole new list of
Dont's" Did the First Angel shout
in a voice of doom: 81 come to
announce Gods attack on
mani? Christmas is the word
of freedom to men in prison, Christ
mas is the word of joy to world
in sorrow, the coming of a Rescuer
to world that was lost.
