THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYER

THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYEI
Prayer is the very heart of
all religions, and we must, by
all the means we can, cable
ourselves to it. 1t is a great
battle today to fight against
the many time consuming ac-
tivities and pressures of life to
seek God in prayer, but to be
loose in time and place is to
open the door to Satan.
Men who pray are men who
hold back the on rushing con-
sequences of sin. God sought
for a man to stand in the gap,"
To-Day he is seeking for some
one to hold back the rising tide
of pollutions of evil. Someone
who will be preserving salt,
someone who will renounce and
denounce sin and claim victory
through the Blood.
The importance of prayer
cannot be overemphasized in
this our day when demon for
ces are released upon the earth
with unprecedented fury.
The prayer of Faith shall
save the sick.
The prayer Of faith shall
reclaim the backslider. The
prayer of faith shall release
Gods regenerating power on
this generation.
Let us not fail our age by
lack of prayer.

TOASTED ALMONDS
MAKE FESTIVE SNACK

A dish Of lightly salted, golden
brown almonds adds a festive note
to holiday dinners. Because al
monds pick up flavors from other
nuts easily, these dehcately-flav-
ored nuts are best if you buy them
blanched and uncooked, and toast
them yourself.
To toast almonds, fill a small
frying pan with about one-inch of
olive oil. Saute almonds in hot oil,
over medium heat. Turn nuts to
brown evenly, watching that the
oil does not become too hot.
Remove nuts with a slotted
spoon and place on several thick
nesses of absorbent Kleenex paper
towels. Salt Immediately. After
abut Is minutes transfer nuts to a
fresh towel and salt again. When
thoroughly cooled, store the nuts
in covered jar until ready to USE

Gifts For Dod

Two words found opposite the
word dad" on many Christmas
gift lists are shirt" and tie"
Despite all the jokes about dads
getting nothing but ties in their
gift boxes, researchers say the
chances of a man getting a tie as
a gift are about one in seven. The
popularity of the tie as a gift is
understandable. There's no worry
about size. The tie will always
fit. The only worry is in getting
a suitable color. This is usually
solved simply by looking at the
kind of tie dad is wearing or the
selection on his tie rack.
Buying a man a shirt is a bit
more difficult. Size is important
Yet, equally 50, is color and style.
Minneapolis spokesman., 1963-12-19

Mems shirts may all look con-
siderations of quality. The woman
who buys her blouses with care
should be able to buy a man a
quality shirt.
Some things to look for in a
quality shirt: study buttonholes- -
neat and without ravels; smooth,
uniform buttons; sleeves cut in one
piece SO they will be easier to iron;
even, closely spaced stitches along
cuffs and front panel.
Dad knows quality in shirts and
he will appreciate the kind he
would choose for himself.

CHOICE OF TREE DIFFERS
FROM EAST TO WESI

In New England and the North
east, balsam fir and white spruce
are the most popular Christmas
trees, while Pennsylvanians often
prefer Scotch pine, spruce and red
pine.
In the South, red cedar and the
scarce but beautiful holly tree are
often used, as well as pine.
In the West, cedars and Arizona
cypress are favorites, and on the
West Coast a wide variety OF
trees, Douglas fir, blue spruce
Engleman spruce and other locally
grown trees are all popular.
Minneapolis spokesman., 1963-12-19
ROMANTIC CUSTOM

In Greece, the burning log Joins
with romance in a colorful holiday
custom. Two olive leaves - one fol
HE and one for SFIE-are tossed
to the hot Goals. If the leaves cur
toward each other, the pair is des.
tined to live happily and long. II
they bend away from each other
they may expect difficulties. Il
they burn to crisp, it means the
lovers love is all consuming and
that, they say is best of all.
Minneapolis spokesman., 1963-12-19
Tree Trimmina Tin

When you trim your Christmas
tree, keep a box of pop-up tissues
handy. Dusty ornaments can't gilt
ter and gleam, so buff each ball
with a soft Kleenex tissue before
hanging it on the tree. To remove
stubborn spot, wtisk with glass
cleaner and buff.

Senute to Revive
Bill to Bolster
Depressed Areas

Democratic leaders decided
at the White House today to
revive in the Senate the adj
ministration's area redevelop-
ment bill, which was beaten In
the House last week.
The Senate bill would in
crease the existing program by
$3.50 million over the next two
or three years. The money
is used as loans and grants TO
help stimulate industrial re-
covery in depressed areas.
Opponents contend, however
that It is not accomplishing
that purpose and that expend-
ittres thus far do not justify
the proposed increases.
Senate Democratic Whip
Humphrey predicted, however
that the bill would pass the
Senate and receive a more
sympathetic consideration In
the House next time. There
were reports the supporters
may agree 10 reduce 1t on the
Senate floor.

bodies as quisling agents OF
the whites. Uncle Toms" and

To city officials. progressive

good will and desire TO make

Edward Power. a 37-year-old
Harvard graduate and native
OF Boston. who manages one
OF the nine big plants that have
come 10 Cambridge in the last
three years. An avowed inte-
Rrationist who has been on

Tax Deduction

BY LEE M. COIN

The House Ways and Means
Committee voted today to bar
deductions on Federal income
tax returns for gasoline taxes
and some other State and local
levies.
This curtailment Of deduc-
ton privileges would raise an
estimated $500 million Of Fed
eral revenue annually. The
committee is looking for extra
revenue TO help pay for sub
stantial reductions In tax rates.
The plan to stop deductions
for State and local gasoline
taxes would raise $500 million
of the $500 million Of revenue.

LONDON, June 1S.-It's q
very bad sign when people start
feeling sorry for politicians,
And there can be few people
in Britain who do not feel at
least a twinge Of pity for Har-
old Macmillan today.
He has emerged from the
debate on the Profurno scandal
a rather pathetic figure
blameless but befuddled, neither
victorious nor decisively de-
feated-into q kind Of political
limbo from which he can
escape only by resigning.
Entitled to Sympathy"
Parliamentary debates in
Britain are a curious mixture
Of sedateness and savagery AS
he left the House Of Commons
last night. amid the howls of
the Labor opposition, he seemed
to some observers q broken
man not far from tears.
He was entitled, he said. to
"the sympathetic understand
ing and confidence Of the
House and country" ~
Sympathy he had in good
measure as an honorable man
who had been dishonorahly be-
trayed. Understanding came
harder.

Allow
Soviet Embassy
.OnOregonAye.
Exception Granted
Over Protests Of
Area Residents

The District Board Of Zoning
Adjustment today granted an
exception to permit construc-
ton Of a new Soviet embassy
chancery at 6OS6 Oregon av-
enue, NV.
Granting Of the exception
had been vigorously opposed by
residents in the neighborhood
where the new structure would
be erected.
Representatives Of the Chevy
Chase and Hawthorne. Citizens
Associations which led the fight
against the chancery have
limited that they might 90 to
court If the coming exception
we're granted.
Under the plan approved by
the coming board, the height
and bulk of the embassy
chancery building would be less
than originally proposed.
Opposition Builds
Neighborhood opposition to
the projected embassy built up
rapidly when the Russians
desire to move to Chevy Chase
was first disclosed by The Star
last January.
Residents Of the area made
their protests known to the
Board Of Zoning Adjustment at
two separate public hearings.
one in April and one last week.
Along with general distaste
for chanceries in their residen-
tial neighborhood, the property
owners also voiced fears that
the embassy would attract
sightseeing buses, anti-Soviet
pickets and dozens of cars to
the exclusive area.
In addition, some neighbors
limited that the Russians would
surround their grounds with
electrified wire and would have
sentries patroling with dogs.
Fence Plan Denied
Attorney Bruce @. Sundlun,
representing Builder Martin
Decker, who will erect the So
million embassy, denied fatty
that guards or electric fences
were planned. and also con-
tested the claims that the
neighborhood peace and quiet
would be disrupted by an en-
bassy office.
The opposing sides differed
sharply on their estimates Of
the number of private cars and
delivery trucks that would visit
the 16-acre estate each day.
At last weeks hearing, when
the builder came in with modi-
fled plans for the building that
included a lower silhouette and
more landscaping, neighbor-
hood residents complained
about pressure" exerted on
them to get them to sign petit
tons approving the Russian
plans.
