TRY TO GOD
r o B E R 7 S

A young school teacher in
Massachusetts was confronted
by a very dull looking class. To
challenge their attention she
tried an experiment. She said
to them, God is broadcasting
all the time. George Washington
and Abraham Lincoln listened

OF crisis. If you will tune in
Gods station, you will hear what
He says"
The children bowed their heads
reVerently and were quiet. In a
few minutes a little boy said, Il
heard something. God told me to
work hard and get. better
marks" Another said, He told
Inc not to talk in class" An
other said, "God told me not to
cheat on arithmetic" The class
practiced this listening every
morning and finally gave a play
based on it before the entire

But it is not too late to try listen.

fore reduction of taxes.
 Publishers are almost unani- mously in favor of increasing taxes on cooperatives. In 1854 85Po favored taxing cooperatives lin the same manner as other businesses" and in 1857, 86% ia vored this.
 They favored taxes on liquor and tobacco, on gasoline, but not automobiles. If we ever get to the point where personal taxes are reduced, 62% of the editors, ac- cording to 1857 poll, would fa- vor an increase in the personal exemptions.

THE LAST WORD

We comment for the last time this year on politics, people, life and foibles generally with the timeliest comment of all: To all of you, here, there and every where-a Merry Christmas. May the year 1859 offer each and all of you much to live for and us much to write about.

A Message on Making Christmas Last

4 k4 s.a af aAs Hrt# Christmas season in every direc- ton.
 This is particularly true in the field of race relations. How many people there are who, like Joseph and Mary, can find no room at the inn. not because there is no room, but because restaurants, hotels, and motels all over the land re- fuse to open their doors to people of other color A hotel clerk ir northern community even called the police when one of my Negro friends, a distinguished Christian educator, inquired at the desk late one evening for room. What a long way to Christmas! And yet how near, when the spirit of Christ is reborn in the human heart. :t4 A major Christmas enterprise the year around should certainly be an. all-out effort for world. peace also.
 It is good to see in the rear win dows of many cars on the high ways the little sign, Pray for Peace" /" But it is not enough to pray for peace. We must work for peace, too. For thousands of years we have prayed to the God of Jesus Christ for peace, but through all that time we have worked for the god of war, build ing our whole economy around military preparations.
 Instead of being content with Christmas rehearsals of peace, with shepherds kneeling at the manager of Bethlehem, wise men bringing their gifts, and radiant young angels singing Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace, good will to men," is it not time that we should begin answer ing our own prayers by an actual performance of peace? We can not continue armament races, bomb tests, and programs of mas Siye retaliation and expect to have peace at the same time. History laS given that kind of double-talk Christmas the, lie.
 We need a new kind of inter- continental Christmas missile: lOaves of bread for the hungry, hope for the poor, work for the jObless, medical care for the sick, education for the illerate, release for the prisoner, compassion for the brokenhearted. Above all, the gospel of Jesus Christ for the loSt-the good news of God who loves us and wants us for His own.
 "A merry heart" said the an cient Hebrew writer in Proverbs 17:22, "doeth good like medicine" What better medicine for the world than to develop the equiva- lent of a Merry Christmas greeting for every morning of 1859?

The United States has welcomed into it's fellowship what might be-: ralled our cl,ristznas state-Alas-. ka.
 It swas. my goozl fortune, last year to enjoy the Alaskan Chrisf- mas while on a Christmas mission Tr Inc armed forces of the Alas kan Command. 1t was like visit to wirter fairyland. Every tree was a frosted sChriatmas tree < every bush crash, of jewels, Even. tIe telephone wires and, electric cables were like ropes of silver tinsel strung from pole to pole. When Santa Clausa lone red fig ure against the sparkling snow far beneath our plane personally waved us down to the landing strip, the illusion was complete.
 Nor was it an illusion. For the Christmas carols, the worship ser vices in the churches and the naiIi- tary chapels, the Christmas lights in the windows, all made clear that Christ One who is the heart of Christmas was not for gotten. With what a sense of exaI- tation did we sing amidst. the Alas kan SHOWS, thousands of miles away from Bethlehem, the i'm mortal words:
 Joy to the world,
 The Lord is come!"
 Christmas is such a meaningful season that certainly it's spirit should rot be confined to the 18th of December.
 There are simple outward ways by which we can celebrate Christ mas all the 365 days of the year.

 The whole year has been a very happy one for this Christmas ex- perimenter Planning ahead, she does much of her Christmas shop ping during the summer vacation period in the gift shops along the highway With the help of her deep freeze, she even makes her Christmas cookies long weeks ahead, So that she has more time 10 think of the real meaning of Christmas when the time actually comes.

 Even editors can be fitted into categories even more SO since by their writings they reveal their thoughts and feelings about events and happenings.
 What manner of man is the typi- cal country editor? is the ques- tion posed by "The American Press" an independent magazine for home town newspapers, in recent issue.
 The magazine has made 25 sur veys in the past five years among country editors of the nation. They state they have learned he does fall into the category which might be called Stubborn Ameri- caniSm.
 They say: "Of course, we do not pretend to believe that all country editors are alike. There are radi- cal editors, liberal editors, con- Servative editors, crackpots, intel lioe1sia and just ordinary among the 900 odd men and women who edit the nations small town press"
 The writer goes on to say that the majority of editors oppose any le9islation calling for increased welfare activity on the part of the federal government; they favor any move to curb labor union ac- tivities; they will fight handouts to any whether it is to farmers, veterans, the aged, or even group Of which they might be apart, and they will back any moves to shift power from the federal to the state governments.
 "Mollycoddling" by government is one of the pet hates of the coun- try editor His heroes are the founding fathers of our nation who believed in minimum amount of government and maximum of individual freedom.
 He has swallowed hard to ac- cept Social Security; he accepts the foreign aid with many misgiv- ings; farm supports are contrary to his philosophy; he is a cham pion of free enterprise, and the freer the better"
 Percentagewise, as revealed in these polls, 789o voted against in creases in Social Security bene- fits; and only 45Go voted in favor of extending unemployment to federal workers.
 5896 opposed any federal aid to schools in poll conducted in 1857, 769o felt that adequate local plans were being made to take care of future growth. One editor expressed a generally accept view when he said: Municipalities should take care of their own school problems. History has shown that government aid event ually leads to government control.
 Farm Programs. Country edi- tors were cool to government aid to farmers. In 1853, 6OGo voted in favor of reducing subsidies. In 1855, 72%o opposed going back to 90% parity; in 1856 and 1857, 789o opposed returning to the old parity system.
 Foreign Relations. In 1855, 493o voted to eliminate foreign aid en- tirely and a sizeable number be- lieved it should at least be dras- tically reduced. Sharing nuclear secrets with our allies was oppos- ed by 71@o. 71g0 were willing to give the president increased pow CT to use U. s. forces, if necessary to stop aggression in the Middle East.

Appeal Reyerses
Murder Verdict,
Death Sentence

The June. 1887. first degree
murder conviction Of James j.
Clark. 81, was reversed here by
a 2-to-1 vote of the United
States Court of Appeals yester-
day.
The court said it would give
its reasons for reversing Clark's
conviction for the February
1857 shooting of Jack Douglas
Is. Of the 100 block of Four
tenth street NV, at a Later
date.
Chief Judge Henry w. Edger-
ton and David l.. Bazelon votec
to reverse the conviction. Judge
Warren E. Burger dissented.
On his appeal of the convic-
ton. Clark argued that the
government prosecutor failed tt
prove that Clark, at the time Of
the trial. was sane beyond rea-
sonable doubt"
Clark was sentenced to death
following his conviction but the
appellate order provided him
with a new trial.
