he had a wife in Nome and five

that while his prison record was

JUNEAU, IA Nome forger
has gone to court in an effort to
get Alaska's first "Hellenthal
honeymoon"
Grant H. Eckman, 42-year-old
cook, filed a petition in First Dis
trict Superior Court for writ of
mandemus ordering the state to
give him a weeklong prisoner
leave Immediately"
Eckman, now imprisoned at
Mcneil Island Federal Peniten-
tiary near Tacoma, contended in
a 21a page petition he authored
himself that he is eligible for the
leave because he does not have a
"blemish" on his prison record.
Superior Court Judge James
Won der Heydt granted a request
by Eckman that he be permitted
to file the petition without pay
ing a filing fee.
The 1860 Alaska legislature
okehed week-long leaves each six
months for honor prisoners with
good behavior serving sentences
of one year or more.
The leaves, the legislature, Spe-
Gifted, ''may be permitted as a
privilege and not as a right to
visit with their families at a
place other than their place of
confinement and at their own ex-
pense for periods not exceeding
one week
The leaves were dubbed "Hel-
lenthal honeymoons" after the
man who introduced the leave bill
in the legislature, State Rep. John
S. Hellenthal, of Anchorage.
Eckman, a two-time loser, was
sentenced in Nome on Feb. % to
five years in prison on each of
two counts of forgery. The terms
were to run consecutively, total
of 10 years in all. The sentencing
Judge said Eckman would be ell
igible for parole in two years.
In 1858 and 1859, Eckman
served one year of an 18-month
sentence for bad check convic-
ton in Anchorage.
In seeking the writ, Eckman
did not say where he would spend
the leave, if he obtained one.
He told the Bureau of Prisons

Island under contract between

aban-that was this fourth wise
mans name-was told that Mary
and Joseph had fled into Egypt
with the Christ-Child to escape the
plot of Herod to kill Him. With
deep sense of Illustration he start
ed homeward but not before he had
saved a Bethlehem child from being
slain by one of Herod's soldiers.
Home again at last, he devoted
his life to helping the poor and the
needy trying in this way to atone
for his failure in finding the
Christ Child as his associates had
been able to do. Thirty-three years
passed and when quite an old man
he learned that Christ's enemies
were plotting to kill Him. So he
set out for Jerusalem hoping he
might contribute something toward
His rescue. He arrived there on the
very day that Christ was being led
to Golgotha and the Cross. In the
crowd that followed he saw a cruel
man beating a slave girl. Touched
with pity he took all the money he
had and bought the slave girls
freedom.
Then came the cruclfiction. In
the earthquake that accompanied it
tile was shaken loose from roof
top and falling to the street struck
the aged pilgrim on the head and
felled him to the ground. AS he
lay dying he was heard to say,
Not so, Lord! When saw l Thee
hungry, or sick, or in prison?" And
then came a voice from heaven,
'Inasmuch as you have done it
unto one of the least of these my
brethren you have done it unto
me-" And so the fourth wise man
found his Christ also though it
was not in the way that he had in
tended.
Edwin Markham, in his poem
titled ''The Great Guest Comes"
states the same thought when in
the last verse of the poem he
writes of Christ in these words:
II was the beggar with. bruised
feet;
/ was the woman you gave to eat
/ was the child of the homeless
street"
And now all that I have written
would find it's focus in the thought
that Christ comes nearest to us in
the hours we give helping hand
to others. Dedicate yourself there
for to the rendering of unselfish
service for the underprivileged
and the needy, and those in sorrow,
and you will find that 1860 will be
for you blessed and happy new
year

sWe Three Kings Of Orient Are"
"As with gladness men of old
Did the guiding star behold,
So most gracious God may we
Evermore be led by Thee"
In the calendar of the Christian
church we are now in what is
termed the Epiphany season and the
assigned Gospel lesson for the
opening of this special period of
time tells of the coming of wise
men from the East to Jerusalem"
seeking to find the newborn Christ
Child. The Bible does not tell us
who they were but tradition has
named them Melchior, Caspar and
Balthasar and has variously identi-
fled them as magi or as oriental
kings. Because the Bible discloses
so little information about them,
men of old have embroidered the
fact of their coming with fanciful
tales of their own imagination.
One of these is strange tradi-
tion that finds it's center of inter
est. in a humble woman of Russia
whose name was Babouska. She
was at work in her home-so the
story runs-when the three wise
men from the East" passed through
her village. Come with u.s." they
invited, ''for we have seen His star
and we go to worship Him." Il
will come" was her reply, "but not
just now. First / must set my own
affairs in order, and when that is
done, I will join you in finding
Him."
This took much longer than she
had anticipated and when she was
ready to begin her journey there
was no star to guide her, and so
Babouska never saw the Christ
Child. However the boys and girls
of Russia believe that she still lives
and that it is she who fills their
stockings on Christmas morning.
She fills them in the hope that in
some child she blesses with gifts
she may find the Christ-Child she
had neglected to seek many years
ago as the wise men from the East
had invited her to do.
Similar to this tradition, but far
more beautiful, is an intriguing
Christmas story from the pen of
Henry Van Dyke. He imagines that
there were four men rather than
three who started on that long trip
to Bethlehem. The fourth fell be-
hind his companions because on
several occasions stopped to give
assistance to needy people he
CHANGED to meet along the way.
When he reached Bethlehem. Aat-

Milford Area Youth
Rally Set For Saturday

The monthly Milford Area Youth
Rally will be held this Saturday at
7:30 p. m. in the Milford New Cen
turg Club for all the young people
of Milford and surrounding areas.
The youth rally is being sponsored
to give the young people of Milford
a new and different outlet for recre-
alton, fellowship, and spiritual gui-
dance.
The rally opens with a game
time. Many have enjoyed this per-
iod of recreation and look for
ward to some challenging contests.
Following this recreational period
there is a devotional time. The
speaker for this month is Mr..
Richard Quarterson, an outstanding
speaker for youth. With Mr.. Quar-
terson will be Mr.. Ed Oliver, who
will conduct the service and fur
nish special music for the meet
ing.
To the youth of the Milford area,
we want to say that these meet
ings are for you. They will be what
you make them. Everyone is invit-
ed. You are free to attend, there
are no strings attached. Invite
your friends and let's make this a
big rally.
The responsibility for providing
wholesome recreation and activi-
ties for the young people rest in
the hands of the parents. Here is
something that you can put your
confidence in and know that the
young people are engaged in some
thing worthwhile. We seek the CO.
operation of the parents of the
area in making these rallies sue
cess.
