CLIFTON EADIMAN TELLS
WHY THIS STORY
MOVES US SO DEEPLV..

Many passages in the Bible, such as
the Psalms, move us by the magnihcence
of their language. Others, such as the
story of Ruth, move us by their dra-
matte power. The story of the Nativity
does not move us for either of these rea-
sons. Has any supremely great event
ever been narrated so quietly, almost SO
matter-of-factly? 1t is as though the
chroniclers were unaware of the full
meaning of the event they recorded.
And in a certain sense that is true.
For its full meaning, never perhaps
wholly to be known, has with each pass
ing year and century, each Christmas
and centenary of Christmases, grown
and changed and deepened. We, stand
ing upon a shore far from Calilee, see
that first Christmas through the shifting
wells of 1859 years of history.
Of our history. Our dreadful, glorious,
pitiful human history. A history crowded
with the figures of men who would fol-
low Jesus, or who would turn from Him
= and with those like ourselves, in
whose hearts, side by side, lived both
desires.
The birth of Jesus announced prom
ise, not victory. Over the centuries
we have at times striven to make that
promise good. At other times we have
weakly forsworn it. 1t is this vision of
the long procession of US, imperfect yet
unable to turn our eyes away from the
spectacle of life that was perfect it
is this vision that moves US as we read
the simple story Of the shepherds, the
manger, the star and the Wise Men.
Let US read it now, once again, know
ing that, for the first time in human his
tory, we not only should but must create
that peace on earth announced by the
multitude of the heavenly host.
wish my readers Merry Christmas.
But also, if | may, a thoughtful one.

Based on analysis by dairy
technicians, the Secretary said,
''it would appear that retention
of the present support levels is
desirable to provide the level of
production with a margin of
safety to assure an adequate

For good nutrition" Benson

man problem. Accidents are
caused by drivers, not by auto
mobiles.
"All the advances made in
automotive design, better and
safer streets and highways, and
new techniques and devices for
efficient traffic movement will
not solve the traffic accident
problem until drivers really be-
come aware of their moral and
social obligation behind the
wheel of a car"
Deliberate or unintentional
violation of a traffic law or sign,
or of the dictates of common
sense or courtesy, takes the 'ac-
cident' factor out of traffic acci-
dents. Such actions place the
burden of guilt upon the negli-
gent driver. And if death results,
the guilty driver also has broken
the Commandment-Thou Shalt
Not Kill"
Father Julien said this Com
mandment is not restricted to
deliberate murder, but includes
the gross carelessness which re-
suits in highway deaths.
1T is time for all persons who
profess any religious faith, to
accept their moral responsibili-
ties in helping to prevent traffic
accidents" he said.
Anger, impatience, selfish
ness-have no place on the
roads. They lead to accidents
and often to death. Love, cour'
tesy and consideration, on the
other hand, will reduce traffic
accidents"
