Chorus to Present
Christmas Opera

The Southern High school senior
chorus, under direction of Mrs
Nancy Turney, will present an
opera, "Amahl and the Night Visi-
tors" tomorrow evening, Deem
Der 81, in the school gymnasium
beginning at O'Clock.
This is the first time the chorus
has endeavored to do anything of
this nature. The opera has been a
hit at Christmas time for the past
several years.
Sue Martin will play the role
of Amahl, cripple from poor
family. Other participants will be
Kay Bowman, Ronald Mcdaniel.
Lloyd Bittinger, Jerry McClung
and Jack Jones.
The Kings are following the star
when they stop at Amahls home
for food and rest. They carry great
riches with them and when Amahls
mother spies them she intends to
take some.
The climax comes when Amahl
gives his greatest gift to the Blessed
Child and a miracle is performed.
The schools annual Christmas
program was presented last night
and today is being given before
the students.

We know the treachery of power
politics has failed to bring peace.
There can be neither peace nor
justice under the rule of deceit,
brutality and force. If we could but
accept and apply each day the Di-

on Christmas Day, we would dis
card our false prophets and be
governed by the Golden Rule.
Do we dare put the Christmas

sess us, asserting their dominion
over the lives and the productivity

upon the agony and toll of their
fellow men?
Hope Of America
In America we have come close
to the Divine Way. Our constitu-
tional chains upon the powers of
government, and the people in it.,
have enabled the American citizen
to shape and develop his own life,
in his own way. This inspired prin-
ciple has brought the American
people more satisfactions and bene-
factions that any other people ever
imagined.
Now the conquest by tyrants
threatens again in our land. The
tools of our tormenters are doubt,
confusion and surrender. The Wea-
pons for our salvation continue to
be Justice, equality and faith,
Yes, the Star CLEANS again in
the heavens, guiding wise men to
the only hope of the world. 1t is
essential that we remember these
enduring truths which give Zest to
Christmas Day. May we keep the
faith.

The American Way
Businessmen Decide To Try
Private Enterprise
By Harry Browne

An important campaign is de-
veloping in America. Businessmen
are being encouraged to speak out
on behalf of Americanism, and to
actively practice it in their business
decisions.
Recently, Schick Safety Razor
Co., Kemper Insurance Co., and
Pacific Hawaiian Punch Co. All
decided to drop the ABC television
network from their advertising
schedules = because of the Alger
Hiss fiascO.
Such a move seems perfectly ma
tural yet most companies have
paid little attention to the kind of
propaganda their advertising dol
lars are financing. Now, however,
eyes are at last being opened.
There's great deal that we can
do to encourage this trend When

~ Lastly, whenever two adj

select the one that is actively do
ing the most to promote the pri-
waite enterprise system And let both

Is this censorship? 1t certainly is
the kind of censorship the great

enjoy. It's the kind of censorship
we utilize when we refuse TO pa
tronize a rude sales clerk, or when
we reject an inferior product, or
change to a milkman that promises
earlier delivery. It's the kind of

means that sponsor is forced to

we've already lost most of our free

George Browning suggested that
the legislators keep their eyes and
cars open for any indication that
the federal government was NOV

board areas. and trying to persuade
them to move to this area. He also
suggested seeking federal funds

asked possible legislation compel
ing members of both Republican
and Democratic State Central COM
mittee members to take oath Of

Ideas at GrantsViIIe
The Grantsville meeting dis
cussed at length its opposition to
the proposed city dump on Big
Savage, for use by city of Frost
burg. Final approval of this is up
to the Commissioners and they
declared their opposition.
Lawrence Groer spoke of snow
removal difficulty on school bus
routes off route 40. Commissioners
promised action.
B. o. Aiken, Accident, spoke of
the unattractive result of failure
to back-fill strip mine areas. There
was proposal to fix the bond
higher (now only $500 an acre..
West Virginia has bond of $4,000
an acre. 1t was suggested a clause
which says only farm land needs
backfilling would also include
wooded areas. Mr.. Aiken also spoke
of hazard of flashing lights along
and suggested some con-
troll.
The airport at McHenry came
in for share of the talk Harold
Whitehead, spokesman, said much
money had been spent there and
many airplanes land there, needing
special gasoline. It was pointed out
the contractor needs S55,000 but
federal government has not con-
tributed its full share yet. The
county promised IS percent, the
state Is percent and the federal
so percent. No high
octane gas is available there up
to present. He felt there was laXity
in letting public know about county
affairs.
The United Fund came in for
its share of talk. Mr. Groer said
some 500 employees who work in
county contribute about
SIC, 900 to Allegany county United
Fund, with nothing coming back
to this county. People wanted an
inquiry as to whether or not such
money could not be returned to
this county and whether or not a
united fund was advisable here.
The question of how much does
the county pay into welfare, was
brought up with suggestion that

UIrich Lost
To Middies
Indefinitely

ANNAPOLIS, Sept. s (AP.-
Navy Halfback Bill Ulrich, who
scored the Middies' only touch
down in last seasons victory
over Army. has been lost to the
Navy squad, perhaps for the
season.
Ulrich suffered a torn knee
ligament in a scrimmage drill
yesterday and has been hos
pitalized for further observa-
ton.
Coach Wayne Hardin said,
I'VE had planned on making
considerable use Of Ulrich this
season. He has been looking
good in practice and was look
ing forward to a successful
campaign. Right now we would
have to classify him as our
best left halfback on offense. |"
The 5-foot-11, 170-pound
Junior halfback from Pitts
burgh, Pa, was elevated from
the Junior varsity before the
Duke game last season and had
only Z minutes of varsity play
ing time when he got into ac-
tion against Army. He got the
Middies' only touchdown on a
13-yard sprint around left end
in the third period.
Ulrich's injury was the most
telling Of a series Of serious
injuries to the Navy team.

gamer last season, has been
limited to light workouts by a
case of mononucleosiS. Since

Coach Gene Hess of Grove

tinue a practice this season.

Yorktown, that got him into
hot water last fall.
Hess again will send written
messages to his quarterback on
the field. Last year, the Grove
ton coach was criticized in some
quarters and in one game was
penalized several times for
coaching from the sidelines."
However, Hess and his staff
think the written message is
safer than the oral one carried
in by a substitute.
There is no chance for a
mixup between the bench and
the quarterback" Hess said. "It
also is quicker. saving time il
we are driving for a score late
in the game. Only one man has
to give the signal verbally, in
stead of another relating it to
him"
Hess, in his third year as
head coach at Groveton, says
he picked up the practice from
watching college games or
television. He used it for sever
games last year before an Of
fetal penalized him for it.
However, Hess says he has
been assured by the Northern
Virginia Officials Association
that there is no rule against
such a practice.
