ing agreement which would en-
able that city to rejoin the
same triple-A circuit.
Farm Director Sherry Robert
son of the Senator's has been in
contact with a group of Charles
ton businessmen seeking to
raise capital to support the
franchise. Robertson also has
been in touch with Ed Doherty
American Association president,
Whether the Senators will
hook up with Charleston may
hinge on disposition of their
Glass AA Southern Association
franchise at Chattanooga. The
Senators have that franchise
and the ball park there on the
block but have had no takers.
A decision concerning the
Chattanooga situation and the
Charleston matter is expected
to be made during the minor
league meetings at st. Peters,
burg, Fla, next week.
Charleston was offered a
chance to rejoin the league
when it was decided that
Omaha's prospects of fielding
q team in 1860 were dim.
The association operated as
a 10-team league last season.
Charleston then was operated
by the Detroit Tigers, but the
league and the Tigers decided
to drop the franchise because
of dwindling attendance.
The Chicago Cubs withdrew
support at Fort Worth and the
st. Louis Cardinals backed out
at Omaha, reducing the Asso-

THE POWER OF FAITH

Faith is woven into the tradition of the Christmas
tree. Some authorities believe that the tree origi-
mated in medieval German plays when a Tree of
Paradise was used to symbolic the Garden of Eden.
Many believe that ST. Boniface, the English mis-
sionary to Germany in the Eighth Century, offered
the pagans young fir, adorned in tribute to the
Christ child, after he feled the sacred oak to the
thunder god, Thor. He converted many pagans.
1t is thought that German settlers in Pennsylvania
brought the tree to America Today large trees add
warmth to community spirit, church trees nestle
gifts to the nderprivileged beneath their branches,
and home trees, surrounded with gifts, reflect the
beauty of nature, the glory of light and the Joy Of
giving.-By Howard Brodie, AP NewsfeatureS.

"All the present administra-
