Plans were being studied TO build

the Navy will try TO use the money

The cost would be about the same

fuel smaller ships at remote spots.
Earlier proposals TO convert bat

junked because OF the expenses in

TAIPEI.-Christmas has come
to Asia with both the Star of
Bethlehem and the baubles Of to-
day.
Twenty years ago, December rs
was Just another day to Asians
outside the Christian community.
For those few who had even
heard of 1t, Christmas was a re-
ligious occasion and not a folk
holiday.
Things began to change in the
wake Of World War II. A princi-
pal fundamentally in the revolu-
ton was the American CT, who
introduced Christmas to the chill
dren of Asia.
Even in the darkest days Of the
Korean War, orphans in particu-
lar and children in general we're
not FORGOTTEN. Almost every
American unit had its Christmas
party for the small fry, and still
does. Orphanages adopted in ia
pan at the close OF the Pacific
conflict are still supported.
AS Of 1862, Christmas has been
institutionalized in japan and
Korea. The process is well adj
vanced in Formosa, Wet Nam and
Thailand.
Okinawa is so Americanized
that Japan worries about resid-
ual sovereignty. The Philippines
has been overwhelmingly Cath
Ollie all along.
The haters OF the commercial
ICED Yuletide will find plenty to
get exercised about!
Merchants first began Christ
mas displays with the thought OF
selling TO Americans and Euro
peans. But apparently there Is
something about Christmas that
is irresistible. even when COM
mercialized. The stars and tinsel
and lights attracted Asians as
we'll as aliens. December sales
curves began TO pick up-not as
much as for the lunar new year
in January or February. but suf-
ficiently TO more than pay for
decorations and advertising.
Christmas giving catches on
ever more widely every year.
Asians took 10 the idea because
they have no precisely COMPARE
BILE holiday. Lunar new year is a
time for new clothes and gifts
