SUMMARY
BY
w. LANCASTER, JR.
} GLENN TALKS
SUMMIT CONFERENCE
} REDISTRICTING

PRESIDENT KENNEDY was
reported Saturday to have turn
ed down KhruShchev's latest
demands for a summit meeting
at Geneva next month. He is
said to have urged the Soviet
leader to agree promptly to a
meeting of the U. S., British,
and Russian foreign ministers a
few days before the 18-nation
disarmament conference which
is scheduled to begin at Geneva
on March IA. The message was
en- route to Moscow and was
expected to be made public by
the Kremin in a day or two.
There were some fears that
Khrushchev might try to scrap
the entire disarmament confer
ence because of Anglo-American
rejection of his summit bid.
JOHN GLENN spent the week
end in seclusion with his family
following his triumphful return
to Cape Canaveral Friday. Glenn
was first reunited with his fam
lily and then presented with
NASA's Distinguished Service
Award by President Kennedy.
The director of Project Mer-
curry. DR.. Robert Gilruth. also
received the same award. Later
at his first news conference since
the flight, Glenn said he was not
at all bothered by the many de-
lays due mainly to unfavorable
weather conditions which pre-
ceeded his flight. He described
tiny luminous particles which
floated past his capsule each
time he passed through dawn
on his three orbits around the
earth.
THE MOST ANXIOUS NOM
ENT of the flight came dur
ing re entry, according to
Glenn. He though he had let
tlsoned the retro-rockets which
had slowed his capsule so that
he could re-enter the earth s
atmosphere. When these rockets
began to burn off and flew by
his cockpit as chunks of flaming
metal, he through there was
something wrong with the heat
shield which was designed to
defect the 3,OOO-degree heat of
re-entry away from the capsule.
If this heat shield had failed
10 perform properly. Glenn and
his capsule would probably have
dlSlntegrated in the intense heat.
ALGERIA was haraSSed by a
series of small strokes Saturday
as the country braced itself for a
wave of violence which was ex-
pected to announcement of a
cease-fire in the To year-old
Algerian war. Europe
and gov ernme nt work
erS were demanding military pro-
lection against the wave of ter
r0riSm which has swept the coun-
try killing more than 1000 per-
sons since the beginning of the
year. Right-wing extremists who
are making a last-ditch effort to
keep Algeria under French con-
troll are responsible for much of
the bloodshed. French Presi-
dent de Gaulle conferred with
his military leaders Friday. pre-
Sunfably on how to keep order
in France and Algeria during this
crucial period.

3 Kinds Of Care Seen
In Hospital of Future

lcare is to be provided at q
reasonable cost for a range OF
patients.
The full health center DR.

sport facilities.
Around the main buildings
might also be a school Of nurs-
ing, a medical school and units
for research and technical
training, DR.. Kleh said.
There would be q circle Of
professional office building,
and varied stores and shops
surrounding this center, for moi

The rising cost Of hospitaliza-
ton and the prolonged care
needed in more and more cases
may combine to create a new
kind Of hospital with three
kinds Of care, each with a diff
ferent price tag.
Looking to the future, DR..
Jack Kleh, medical director of
the District Welfare Depart
ment, today described the
forces behind and the shape of

the Courier, the journal of
George Washington University
Hospital, where he Is assistant
clinical professor Of medicine,
He envisioned q three-unit
hospital, one unit to be like
that Of today's general hos
pital-with X-ray, surgical
suites and other complex facil-
tiles.
There would also be:
| /. An intermediate care
building with lower costs would
provide practical nurses and
medical supervision for pa
tients on the mend.
2. A building for protective
housing" in which patients are
relatively independent. DR.
Kleh said, There may be many
aged persons who have such
frequent need for medical care
that they cannot be kept al
home and would require this
type Of program"
DR.. Kleh said there Is an
ever-expanding group Of pa
tients who no longer require
the extensive facilities and
services Of q general Hospital
but still cannot be cared fol-
adequately in their own homes
Many Of these do remain in
hospitals" DR.. Kleh said, "but
the rising costs which accom-
pany medical progress have
made this level of care i'm
practical for prolonged periods
There is need for q whole
constellation of facilities and
services with unimpeded inter-
change of patients, if adequate

Could Christmas
trees remember

It is well that Christmas trees cannot remember their
past when they are separated from the nature world TO De
the center of family happiness at the Christmas time.
What memories of wild creatures dear to His Christmas
heart might crowd i'm upon these trees-if memories were
theirs!
How many of these trees must have known well in the
bushy green the familiar refrain of the gentle, confiding
chickadees! Flocks of these little black-capped spTites fit
ted all winter long over the snow-covered branches of many
a Christmas tree.
AND RIGHT on a spruces topmost peak where a big
bright star is shining now in the dead OF winter big arctic
owls have perched like ghosts. Perhaps gray and black
juncos ~(snowbirds) were daily visitors to your tree
through many a winter.
Readers who know birds well will think of many other
former bird companions of their trees.
The dark warm green of a spruce's branching needle
clusters must have warmed many furred wanderers. What
true Christmas solace little cottontails have surely felt
under this thick green as they rushed to its shelter from
swift-moving, oncoming ~goshawks.
And what motherly attentions spruces give, and have
always given, to such little creatures as ~crickets, beetles,
grubs, meadow and deer mice.
III JOY in your Christmas tree will be all the deeper
and fuller if you mingle with it kind thoughts of the wild
creatures your tree once knew, and are moved by them to
say a prayer that the Babe of Christmas will continue to
watch over all of them the world around.
We should all remember that wild creatures like these
we know today were in our woods when those eastern
princes came to worship the Holy Child in faraway Beth
lem long ago.
Such memories will prompt us to befriend in every
way we can all little wild creatures near us who may be in
need of food and shelter in times of wintry cold and snow.
Such kindness, done in the Child's name, is always true
Christmas kindness-NOrman G. SchIichter.

to the place and season and
spend the rest of the night
in carol singing, full of joy
and gratitude for the COM
ing of the Saviour.
The confectionery is also
traditional and varies with
the locality. In Toledo and
Barcelona, you get march
panes (marzipan) and huesos
de santos. While in Andalu-
sio, buttercakes (manteca-
dos), torrijas and polver-
ones are more usual. Each
of these cakes demands for
its proper preparation a par
ticular technique and special
lied knowledge which only
one or two in the household
will possess.
Much more might be said
about the Spanish Christmas
but what I have written will
show you how a country with
a population of approximate
ly 30 million, and almost 100
per cent Catholic, reserves
for the joyous feast of the
nativity (Which in Spain
even takes precedence over

manifestation of Christian
faith and lives during the

the fountain of domestic
joys. The sentiments it
awakes are enshrined in
numberless carols, forming
part of our Christmas tradi-
ton. For instance:
La noche Buena Sc viene
La noche Buena Sc va;
Y n~osotros nos iremos
Y no volveremos mas.
or
Holy Night has come again
Holy Night again will go.
We shall also go, and then
Regrets we shall never know.
These carols were sung
for us by our g~randmothers
when we were children. and
they will doubtless continue
to be sung by the genera
tons yet unborn.
After the sumptuous sup
per, all feel obliged to at
tend the midnight Mass,
which from time immemor-
ial has been the custom in
Spain.
Of course, the church will
have its own crib, more or
less elaborate, before which
more carols are sung. The
Mass is called la Misa del
gallo because it is celebrat-
ed at the hour when the stem
torian voice of the rooster
(gallo) gives night the pre-
liminary notice to quit.
FOR THE PEOPLE of
Montana, the name has a
special significance because,
at this hour, from the many
farmyards in the brushwood,
the chanticleer choirs con-
tribute their quota to the
solemn celebration of Christ
mas.
AT the end of the church
services, the people return to
their homes, where the old
and young eagerly partake

Shrine of
the 3 Kings

The Shrine of the Three
Kings in the famous Cologne
cathedral is considered the
most remarkable medieval
example of the g~oldsmith's
art extant. Wrought by the
master Nicholas of Verdun,
it combines plastic ornamen-
tation and enameling with
amazing perfection.
The cathedral itself is the
greatest monument of Goth
ic architecture in Germany.
Begun in 1913 it was not
fully completed until 1880.
While most of Cologne was
destroyed by allied air raids
during World War II, the
cathedral escaped major
damage and its priceless art
treasures were almost mirac-
ulOuSlV preserved.

She was shocked at see

had to say (Which took

Christmas trees
come to France

In France, where the
seasons greeting is "Joyeux
Noel" many homes now
have Christmas trees as well
as the traditional creche
populated with terra Gotta
figures called santons. This
custom can be traced back to
the 18th century when it
took the form of a liturgical
drama.
YOUNG FRENCH chill
dren, like their cousins
throughout the world, will
or should-be asleep when
the adult members of the
family return home from
midnight Mass on Christmas
Eve. If they happen to be
awake, they take part in the
Reveillon. This elaborate
feast of many courses usual
~ begins with pate de foie
gras and oysters.
Roast turkey or goose with
all the trimmings follow,
along with a variety of con-
plementing cheese3 a IN
fruits. Topping off the meal
is the traditional buche de

chocolate icing stimulating

shepherds who adored the
Christ Child on His birth

written commentary dating
back to the year 1856, one
could see "a very well light

Spain's Christmas (la Ma
vidad or la Noche Buena)
has two outstanding fea'
lures:
The crib Gel n~acimiento)
and the midnight Mass (la
Misa del gallo).
Spanish literature abounds
In moving descriptions of
the time honored custom of
gathering the children
around the crib to welcome
the newborn Babe, a custom
still practiced in every Cath
Ollie home.
1T is NOT indeed confined
deed confined to Spain. Ev-
er since the 18th century it
has been spread all over Eu-
rope through the apostolic
zeal of the sons of st. Fran
els. But, in Spain, it exer-
cises an extraordinary i'm
fluence on the religious lives
of the people during the
holy season of Christmas.
In different parts of the
country, competitions are ar
ranged and valuable prizes
awarded for the crib adiudg-
ed to be the most beautiful.
The cribs in some places as,
for instance, in Barcelona
(where they are called bel
ens), represent the country
side, including the hills, val
leys, streams and what pop
uar imagination conceives
to be the appropriate flora
and fauna. The atmosphere
of the Crib is inspired BY
religious feeling.

AFTER ALL, the value Of

The very elaborate cribs,

The Lamb of God seems
seems to have a particular
fondness for shepherds. Oft
en- he has chosen His saints
from among those who have
first-hand experience of the
sorrows and joys of sheep
tending. To mention only a
few. Patrick, Paschal Bay-
Ion, Joan of Arc, and John
Mary Vianney were at one
time humble guardians of
sheep.
Similarly, shepherd chill
dren were the ones favored
with heavenly visitations at
La Salette in 1886 and Fa-
TINA in 1917. And now, the
holy season of Christmas re-
turning, our thoughts revert
to the shepherds who were
the first to learn of the
Saviour's birth.
The life of a shepherd is
anything but easy. In Pales-
tine many people considered
1t below their dignity to adj
dress even one word to a
shepherd. They were very
low in the social scale, were
poor and had to work very
hard. If they were i'm distress
there were few who would
offer them charity.
IN THE DAYS of His pub
lie ministry, Our Lord re-
ferred to the good shepherd
who stays at his post and
prevents the wolf from
snatching and scattering the
sheep. Good shepherds
around Bethlehem were do
ing just that the night He
was born.
1t was to keep wolves, pam
theirs, and leopards away
that the fiocks were enclos-
ed within a large, flat-roof-
ed building called a marah
on the sheltered side of the
Jordan valley. Around the
building stood a thick stone
wall topped with thorny
bushes to keep prowling an
imals at a safe distance.
However, some occasional
~ managed to leap over the
mall and to spread terror
and havoc among the sheep.
1t was therefore necessary
for men to keep close watch
even at night. These noe
turnal sentries were usually
three.
So 1t happened that on
the first Christmas Eve,
there were shepherds on
duty as usual. And behold"
st. Luke writes, IAN angel of
the Lord stood by them and
the glory of God shone
round about them, and they
feared exceedingly. And the
angel said to them, Do not
be afraid, for behold, / bring
you good news of great joy
which shall be to all the peo-
