H0Aaay Deaths On The Hlgb10ay

1t is tragic thought that many persons
will not live to celebrate Christmas today be-
cause of highway accidents that should never
have happened
Christmas Eve has become the most lethal
fatalities. Last year more than 200 persons
ending early Christmas Day. The year before
long weekend, over 700 persons were killed,
deaths
There a number of reasons for this
distressing state of affairs and many of them
have to do with attempts to drive a car after
drinking.
The office-party ceebrant, the man on his
way home who stops off for few drinks in
honor of the season, and the party-goer who
mingles alcohol with gasoline all evening"
often figure in the police records as the re-
sponsible parties in fatal accidents and, some
times, the victims, too.
There was a time when New Years Eve
because of its traditional toasting-in of the
young year and the number of parties held
that night, was the number one traffic acci-
dent period. That is no longer so, perhaps
because many persons have learned to confine
their New Year drinking to the home or be-
cause they have been shocked into sober driv-
ing by the large death toll registered only a
week before on Christmas Eve and Christmas
Day
In any event, if the usual trend is follow
cidents. For all We know now, the victims

And it came to pass in those days, that there
went out decree from Caesar Augustus that
all the world should be taxed.
2. (And this taxing was first made when
Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
8. And all went to be taxed, every one into
his own city.
A. And Joseph also went up from Galilee,
out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto
the city of David, which is called Bethlehem
because he was of the house and lineage of
David:)

6. And so it was, that while they were there,
the days were accomplished that she should be
delivered.
z. And she brought forth her firstborn son,
and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid
him in manger; because there was no room
for them in the inn.
s. And there were in the same country
shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch
over their flock by night
9. And 10, the angel of the Lord came upon
them and the glory of the Lord shone around
about them; and they were sore afraid.

for behold, bring you good tidings of great joy,

dral in any corner of which the little white
church of his own village might find space and
spire. In crowded shops and on thronged side
walks there have been thousands of children
with shining eyes-the arm of which, above all
else, signals the arrival of Christmas to big
town.
But If a countryman has had to miss all
the glory, all the lavish splendor of great
city of lights at the holiday season, he still
remembers that it was in a little town not
much larger than his own that Jesus was born.

Christmas, 1859

The most important feast in the old Chris
tian year, Christmas, is the observance of the
birth of Jesus. The exact date of the birth
of Jesus, however. is not known.
For long time January 9Th was observed
by the Christians in Palestine the date of
the birth, but when, finally, the Bishop of Jeru-
salem wrote the Bishop of Rome asking for a
suitable date. the Bishop of Rome suggested
December 25th.
All of which is unimportant, for the most
part. The day stands for the hope of all man
kind for peace on earth and good win to-
wards men. And it is reminder of the ex-
emplary life led by Jesus, and the lessons He
sought to teach in His day. gs
Interestingly, many OF our Christmas GUS
toms come from various countries in the
world, and not from the Middle East, and
Christmas today is an observance rejecting
variety of customs originating in various parts
of the world.
The custom of kissing under the mistletoe
originated from the early ages when enemies
who met under the mistletOe were supposed to
forget their enmities and embrace. Nowadays
even without the enmities, the lads or ladies
use it for an embrace or kiss.
At one time mistletoe was hung only in the
kitchens in England, and the youth who kissed
a girl standing under it plucked one of the
white berries for every kiss The Christmas
tree itself comes from Germany and dates
from 1906, when one was set up in Strass
burg
Tradition has 1t that Martin Luther, in the

mays be our own loved ones. Christmas Day
will inevitably be for many families day of
grief instead of joyous celebration.
The various state and local authorities have
issued their usual calls for safe holiday driv-
ing. The state police will have maximum COW
erage the highways.
The police will be doing the drinking driver
favor by tagging him down and getting him
from behind the wheel before he gets in trou-
BILE.
The knowledge that they might come under
close police scrutiny will in itself discourage
motorists from taking chance on operating
cars while near-intoxicated.
1t is not the falling-down drunks who are
the problems because they not able to
drive even if they want to. but those who have
consumed enough alcohol to impair their fac
ulties and to slow UP their refexes
The person who has had too much liquor
for safe driving is often convinced that he is
cold sober and well able to handle any traffic
problem. But when he faces emergency re-
quiring fast stop the highway, he may
move just split-second more slowly than he
should, and the result may be fatal
Holiday traffic accidents are not caused
solely by driving after drinking. Incompetent
and negligent drivers; incorrigible speedsters
and zig-zaggers; inexpert youths who should
not have been allowed to drive by their parents:
these figure in many collision without alcohol
playing any part.
The average driver has to cope with all
such hazards the road. And he is best able
to cope with them when he himself is driving
safely-and that means not driving after drink
ing.

Our Amerz;cu

Christmas points up the difference be-
tween Communist way of life and our way as
does no other season. Christmas is based on
love. Communism is based on hate. Love is
the Creator. Hate is the Destroyer.
Yet human nature is constituted that
hatred is greater adhesive than love-
The hatred of nearly a billion persons,
under the Hammer and Sickle for their fellow
men threatens to outlaw civilization.
If we had to reduce civilization to one word,
we would call it Kindness"
Nature, herself from whose natural re-
sources man must wrest a living by his blood,
sweat and tears is hostile, cruel, resistant
and rigid.
Since the battle of man against nature is
universal and relentless, the battle of man
against man is burdensome and useless.
1t leaves place for sanctuary. and kind
ness is the exception, not the rule.
The Twentieth Century world prides itself
on having attained unprecedented degree
of civilization"
But the Twentieth Century man exhibits
an unprecedented degree of barbarism, as his
hatreds threaten to explode life itself, by de-
liberate intent.
Hatred is such a persistent problem of
human behavior that it probably has roots
in biological, belligerence that served the
cave man well, as defensive mechanism.
But man has presumably been domesticated
from the savage animal he once was. Modern
man calls himself rational animal.

'Lora Jesus Cbria Be Thou Our GueSt''

They sat supper on Christmas Eve,
The boys of the orphan school,
And the least of them rose up to say
The quaint old grace. in the old-time way
Which had always been the rule:
Lord Jesus Christ be Thou our guest
And share the bread which Thou hast blest"
The smallest scholar sat himself down
And the spoons began to clink
In the pewter porridges one by one.
But one wee fellow had scarce begun
When he stopped and said, 81 think"
Then he paused with a Redeemed cheek
The kindly master bade him speak.
but why does the Lord Christ never Gomez"
He asked in a soft shy way.
Time after time we have prayed that He
Would come and make one of our company
Just as we do today.
"But He has never come for all our prayer
Do you think He would il l set Him chair?
"Perhaps who knoweth?" the master said,
Making the sign of the cross
AS the little fellow gladly sped
And drew a chair at the tables head
Beneath great ivy boss.
Then he turned as in sure request
The entrance of the holy guest.
Even as he waited, the latch was raised,
And the door swung wide, and 10,
A pale little beggar boy stood there
With his shoeless feet and flying hair
All powdery white with snow.

Our Mlgbhed Weapon: Fatb

Both President Eisenhower, in messages to
the Nation and to other lands and other out
standing Americans, have touched upon Amer
icas community of interest with millions
around the globe who share with us the ira
ditions of peace and good will of Christmas
1t is an appropriate time to renew and
strengthen the bonds of faith in the brother
hood and dignity of man under God" with
other nations. Mr.. Eisenhower truly called
that faith democracys most powerful weapon
not gun, a tank or bomb.
He spoke of the crusade of prayer in which
this Nation already is enlisted, to be marked
today-the last of year of many grim events
by special services devoted to a revival of
faith. 1t would be well if the great religious
forces of the United States and all peace-lov-
ing nations should spread the crusade of pray
er everywhere. We should keep that mighty
force in motion throughout the year to come.

not unlike the White Mountains of New Hamp-
shire. Nazareth, valley town where Jesus
was to spend His boyhood had peaks to the
north which. like Mt Washington, kept winter
on their heads and summer at their feet. It
was over faraway high hills like these that
morning was breaking when in Bethlehem of
Judea child was born.
The reign of Christmas had begun-a reign
that to reach from manger in Bethlehem
to the future altars of unbuilded cathedrals.
A new bright star had appeared in sky al
ready star-sprinkled. And so, in country
mans own village, in a Manhattan which
knows neither shepherds nor hangers, there
are evergreen trees rejecting now from their
shining tops that star. A little child was born
and worshiped in a hill town of Palestine.
And there have been almost two thousand
Christmases for the children of the world.
On that night there were Mediterranean
countries which Roman law and Roman-en-
forced peace had forged together into single
power. This empire and it's legions have van
ished, but the dominion, the power established
by little child remains. Under its rule the
Christian world worships and is glad today

Christmas - Anhd0te For War

Delmarva Peninsula, simple yet meaningful,
contains all the hope and faith and good will
so sadly needed by the world. Not unbridled
revelry or the uproarious gaiety of pursuit of
sensual pleasures, but the peacefulness of a
freside and friends. the cheerful peal of a
church bell on Christmas morning, the happy
reunion of families the look of wondrOus
happiness in the eyes of child good will and
fellowship, worship and peace
These are the elements that must be
brought into being if we are ever to have
peace in our time. The fact that we do cele-
brate Christmas is evidence of their ability
to work. If these factors are good for one
day. they are good for all time. So let's cele-

of good will, tolerance and friendliness.
