EDITORIAL PAGE .4 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Fri., Dee. 23, 1960 ; PEACE ON EARTH t By Charles V. Stanton ' At the Christmas season the thought of peace is one -that prevades all Christendom. One thing that distin 'jruishes the enemy of the Christian religion is the stirring ."up of rebellion, the disruption of peace in the world. Communism, which denies the existence of God, de fines peace as the peace of the dead or the peace of the ''complacent slave, or, as was said of the Roman Legions, 'the peace of the desert. And all too many of our people Tare confused by the use of the word as it differs from 'our own understanding. ' The confuuion ever words and the use of words has an important bearing on our philosophies. St. Luke, a Greek who tried to portray Christ as an '.historical figure, and who sought to gather information .'that would give a history to the Gentile, describes a visi tation of the heavenly host to lowly shepherds the night ,of Christ's birth. But .what did the heavenly host say? For one thing the word is "said," not "sung," yet Christmas caroling, one of the very happy and joyous fea ; tures of the season, stems from the "song" of the angels ; as they appeared outside Bethlehem's gates to those awake at the night hour. ; Translations Vary But then we find we are at the mercy of translators ! and they fail to agree. Our language isn't adequate to I express the true thoughts of the heavenly visitors, or per ; haps, their exact words were lost. . ' One translation tells us that they expressed peace "and j good will towards men." Another quotes the angels as say- ing "peace among men in whom he is well pleased." ! Then there is another that uses the words "peace towards ; men of good will." But there is one interesting thing in all translations. ! Kach translator, studying from all available manuscripts, I agrees on the word "peace." j From the harmony of the spoken word, or in heavenly J song, as many people find pleasure in believing, the one ! word "peace" emerges without question. And throughout ! long ages the one goal of mankind has been peace peace, J tolerance, understanding, brotherhood, benevolence. Such ; are some of the virtues which spread their influence about uh at the Christmas season. At Christmas time we find good will among men. ! When we find good will we find peace. The world was in ', one of its very rare periods of peace at the time Christ ; was born. Is that why God was well pleased with men? Is that why it was pointed out that there would be peace ! among men of good will? Is that why God's expression ! of good will toward men was uttered? Because, for once, ;they were at peace? ; Modern Lesson - Isn't there a lesson a powerful lesson in the events of that first Christmas for all mankind today? One thing, it, seems to me, is very apparent in the Imcssage brought to earth the night Christ was born. J God is pleased when men are at peace. Yet today we "find a lack of good will among men all over the world, -There is a struggle over ideologies a struggle that lias 'existed for many centuries, since the time man deserted the form of government God set up for His creation and 7 demanded a king. Because of our lack of good will, or tolerance, we find blood being shed in many areas. Be--eause of our lack of good will, we find racial prejudice, demonstrations, political and economic unrest at home and abroad, restlessness, disturbances in and among nations, ;all arising from a lack of good will, of tolerance, of re spect for the dignity of man, of a willingness to help and .to be helped. '2 Christmas time is one of the most enjoyable and pleas nt of the year, because that is the time when we are ; most tolerant, most charitable, most helpful toward one an j other. That is the time of peace, a condition conerning -which God spoke His pleasure. Z Centuries have gone by since the heavenly host ap peared so long ago; that is, it has been centuries so far j as we are concerned. But in eternity there is no such thing as time, and the message still echoes echoes that I we should hear as we call to one another our cheery " Merry Christmas greeting. : Hal Boyle Remarks Heard Above Din Of The Office Yule Party NEW YORK (AP) Remarks heard above the din of an office Christmas parly: J "Who put the gin in the water cooler'.'"

House President Frani Meyer expressed the body sympathy at a session today. In The Days News S3 , FRANK JENKINS 111 There's something new in the sky, the lale.st model of our Dis coverer satellites. This one is Dis coverer XiX. Its job is to take the earth's temperature. Exactly the same as your doctor takes your temperature. And for the same reason. When your doclor takes your temperature, he wants to know what's going on in your system. If there is loo much IIKAT, some thing is wrong, lie then goes to work to find out WHAT is wrong. The Discoverer satellites are de signed to work in the same way. They mprely use different equip ment. Your doctor uses a clinical thermometer, which he puts under your tongue. The Discoverer sat ellites carry equipment to mea sure the amount of infrared radia tion given off by the earth. This information is then radioed in stantly lo the Midas missile alarm system. Your doctor's thermometer tells him the temperature of your body. If your temperature is 98.6 degrees, you are normal. If it is ABOVE !)8 B degrees, something is wrong. The job of our Midas missile sy.slcm is to determine the nor mal amount of infrared radiation given off by the earth. Then if the Discoverer satellites circling the earth every 93 minutes report a sudden RISE in the ' infrared radiation (Which is given off by HOT bodies) it will be assumed Hint something is WRONG. The assumption would he that our enemies had blasted off at lis James Mario w JFK Will Neither Suggest Nor Try Anything Startling Aisociated Prtit Newt Analyst WASHINGTON (AP) The early moves of President-elect John F. Kennedy's new adminis tration probably will revolve more around his shrewdness in handling Congress than on what he pro poses to do about problems at home. Overseas he'll have his hands full. Judgine from the starling pro gram he intends lo lay before Congress, where his Democrats far outnumber ihe Kepuniicans, he will neither suggest nor try anything startling. The nroonsals he talks about were all part of the campaign promises he made, they didn t get through Congress last year. For instance, medical care for the aged tied to Social Security. So he'll try again as he is pledged to. If Southern Democrats and Re publicans band together, they can Ike Thanks Mark For Oregon Tree SALEM (AP)-President Eisen hower today thanked the people of Oregon for a giant Douglas fir tree on the While House lawn. In a letter to Gov. Mark 0. Hat field, Eisenhower said he svas "delighted that the Christmas tree now on the ellipse was chosen from one of the Oregon forests. "I hope you will convey to the people of Oregon the appreciation 1 feel on behalf of all of us for a tree that will be a symbol for the entire country of Ihe Christmas tide spirit . . .," Eisenhower said. The tree, cut near Springfield, was chosen by stale foresters in cooperation with officials of the Georgia-Pacific Corp. Death Toll Reaches 51 MUNICH. Germany (API The crash of a U.S. Air Force Convair jet into a streetcar packed with Christmas shoppers last Saturday cluimed its 51st victim today with the death of Ingcborg Kraus, 19, a Munich clerk. Thirteen other Germans arc still in the hospital with severe burns from the crash. All 20 Americans aboard the plane were killed. The Cartoonist a flock of missiles, which are VERY HOT bodies. We would then (presumably) take the step called for by the situation and would in stantaneously launch back at them enough missiles to destroy them. Pretty rugged? It certainly is. But nuclear warfare is rugged. It changes the whole face of war fare as we have known it. This is the situation: We have given the Russian the FIRST BITE. Which is to say, we have given our solemn word thit under no circumstances will we be the AGGRESSOR in a nu clear attack. That amounts to this: It tempts the communists to SHOOT FIRST to DESTROY US before we can shoot back. To get everything ready and then blow, us off the earth in one mas sive missile strike. This is the point: If we can get INSTANTANEOUS warning that the communists are launching missiles at us, we c.in instantaneously launch missiles at them. That would mean MUTUAL destruction. Our theory is that the communists won't invite MUTUAL destruction. It's a grim theory. But nuclear warfare is grim The future will be somewhat less grim if we can convince the Rus sians that a sneak nuclear attack on in will bring upon them in stantaneous RETALIATION mess him up. Some Republicans talk of such a coalition. But it seem,s unlikely the Democratic-run House there the Democrats outnumber the Repub licans 260 to 177 will start off trying lo frustrate Kennedy. It would be a sorry reception for their parly's new leader. In Ihe Senate, where the Dem ocrats are slill in charge with a majority of 85 to 35 Republicans Kennedy will have some real pros working as his chief lieutenants' Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson and Sen. Mike Alansfield of Mon tana. It is important to bolh Johnson and Mansfield, who succeeds him as Democratic leader, to see the Kennedy administration get off to a good start. A defeat for Kennedy would be a personal defeat for them. But it's in the foreign field that Kennedy and his administrators and advisors probably will feel they're walking through a dark jungle. Besides trying to deal with the Russians and Premier Khrush chev, Kennedy must find some way to keep Ihe people of South east Asia and I.alin America on the U.S. side. n In Africa, both the people and their new nations are literally just coming alive as an active force in a world where for cen turies they were kept in second class citizen status as colonials. That continent will be explosive for years. The Kennedy administration somehow must find a way to con vince Ihe millions of Africans that their future will be better with the West. Any critical showdown with the Soviet Union during Kennedy's ad ministration may come first in Africa. And even with American allies in Europe, Kennedy must keep the alliance not only alive but co operative. On top of all this, and vet crit ically related to it, Kennedy must subdue Ihe flow of American gold overseas, keep trade healthv, and at the same time build An' ican defenses to a point discouraging lo Soviet ambitions. Kennedy is a young man. What he faces is enough lo make an old man of him. Says: Arms Race Daily Bible Reading Message By Roseburg Ministerial Assn. Scripturt Phil. 3:7-21 "What Do Ye More Than Oth ers?" Two men of equal skill work at! the same task; yet the product of one is superior lo that of the other. One stops when the talk appears to be completed; the olher adds finishing touches and so his work stands out. "What See Ye More Than Oth ers?" Some men look at nature and see a plant, a tree, an insect or a landscape. Others see the handi work of God. Some men look at a child and see a boy or a girl. Others see a future teacher, a skilled eraitsman. a merciful phys ician, or a great leader in some other field of endeavor. "What Hear Ye More Than Others?" Some men listen to a lecture, a sermon, or a musical perform ance, and hear only words or notes. Others absorb the meaning of the speech or music and are challeng ed to more noble living. "What Feel Ye More Than Oth ers?" Some men observe a dramatic incident and are entertained by it. Other men receive an emotion al impact from the experience and are lifted to greater effort in be half of humanity. "What Give Ye More Than Oth ers?" Some men hear an appeal lo contribute to a worthy cause and begin to calculate how they can get by with a minimum donation. Others are aroused to make a sacrificial gift of money, lime or talent. Some men who are asked to make their abilities available for civic or spiritual enterprises con sider how they can do so with the least inconvenience to themselves. Others see an opportunity for growth in volunteering to asume leadership and thereby help in the character building of young people. "What Docs Christmas Mean To You More Thaif Others?" Some men conceive of Christ mas as just a season; a time of vear. Others know Christmas as "the birth of a new life. Some men think Christ lo be just another prophet; a great teacher. Others accept Christ as the Savior of mankind. Some men figure Christ mas as profit and loss; numbers in their books. Others consecrate their lives to His cause. Some men want only the color and dec oration: the presence of Santa Clans. Others demand through de votion that Christmas will mean the presence of the Christ child in the hearts of man. Prayer: Our heavenly Father, we are grateful for all of the talents and blessings that you have bestowed upon us. Help us lo un derstand the meaning of your teaching!! and requests; inspire us lo do more than is expected. Encourage us to find room in our hearts and. lives for the birth and presence of Christ, your beloved Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen. Wayne Schul. General secretary Roseburg YMCA Wood Scientists Claim Cheap Particle Board CORVALL1S (API Wood scien tists here say they have developed a low-cost particle hoard contain ing only bark from Douglas fir or ponderosa pine. The Oregon Forest Research Center said that under proper conditions, natural substances in bark react to bond together with out resins. Bonding resins are re sponsible for nearly half the cost of other particle boards, the cen ter said. Research director I.eif D. Ks pinas said more than 1.200,000 tons of hark from Douglas fir are burned in Oregon annually as mill residue. A Mr. VARX Snia) Editorial FOREST RESEARCH Oregon Statesman, S.lim Oregon is the state where the fir trees grow tall. Forestry is the uuminaung interest of the people. A look at the Blue Book with ils listing of stale-sponsored agencies dealing with forestry proves thai. What a proliferation of adminis trative units there is! The list slarls with the Oregon Board of Forest Conservation. It was set up by special legislation, and has the authority to approve or reject proposals of the federal gov ernment to acquire additional lands. It conforms to federal legis lation which sprang from fear of further expansion of national for ests. Since that program is inac tive, save in the case of Klamath Indian forest lands, the board rare ly meets. Next is the Forest Research Cen ter at Corvallis. It has a fine new laboratory for research work, and is financed by a severance tax on nmner plus some direct appropri ations. At this center are divisions on Forest Lands Research and For est Products Research, each with its own director and each attended with its own advisory committee. On top of this is a Forest Pro lection and Conservation Commit tee which rides herd on the re search activities and serves to co ordinate agencies in matters of fire suppression and forest rehabilita tion. Finally there is the Slate Board of Forestry which is the division of state government enforcing for estry laws and managing state for ests, through ils appointed official,! the state forester. In the compositions of these boards and committees there is much overlapping. Many of the same public officials and industry representatives appear on several of the groups. The heavy repre sentation of those from the forest products industries springs from their concern over administration of the forest resources. Governor Hatfield will recom mend a consolidation of forest agencies within a department of natural resources in his plan of state reorganization. Meantime, an other proposal has come for the merging of the Forest Research Center with Oregon State College. This is quite logical. The college has the School of Forestry, also departments of chemistry, physics, botany, engineering, all of which may be involved in forestry re search. Linking the research cen ter with the college under the state Board of Higher Education would permit better use of manpower and facilities. An advisory commit tee should be continued to provide a connection with industry. This plan becomes more logical when it is learned that the federal government intends to establish a forest research center at or near Corvallis, at a cost of from $t to SI .5 million. This would not con flict with the state center. Its work would be more in scientific re search and not along the practical lines lo which the present effort is principally directed. Many people think that the Re search Center is part of OSC, even though its location on Philomath Road is "across the tracks" from the college. That is not so. But the proposal for joining the two seems to be wise. It would follow the divi sion in agriculture. Research and instruction are handled by OSC in its school and experiment station. Enforcement of laws and regula tions dealing with agriculture is in the hands of Agriculture. Another item of news relating to forests is the announcement of classifying for "multiple use" of four areas in national forest of Region Six previously labeled "lim ited areas" pending study of their economic, recreational and scenic values. Those now .reclassified are in Spirit Lake ranger district in Washington, in Illinois canyon, the upper Umpqua and Diamond Lake in Oregon. Detailed plans have been drawn for these areas designed to respect their highest uses for commercial utilization or lo conserve other values. This reclassification may touch off controversy for there is a con tinuing battle between those who would tap resources for commer cial purposes and those who are eager to preserve the wilderness in its primitive state. J. Herbert Stone, regional forester, has an nounced the decision on these four areas. Previously studios on three olher areas were completed and Ihey were dedicated as Wild Areas: Diamond Peak, Mt. Washington in Oreson and Glacier Peak in Wash ington. Decisions on other areas will be announced as studies are completed. Charles A. Sprague. PHYSICAL UNFITNESS Origan SUtttman, Salem We stuff our children with vila- ROBERTSON SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ANNOUNCES Office Will TUES( SPEEDWRITING SHORTHAND GREGG SHORTHAND TYPEWRITING ACCOUNTING Night School Discontinued Indefinitely ROBERTSON SCHOOL OF BUSINESS 619 S. E. Can Anu Comment mins and fill school gymnasiums with equipment, and what do we , gel? Flan! Tests show that Japan ese and British youngsters can run circles around them physically. Belore we start storming at gym nasium teachers, we should study our own families. All that health giving food this nation consumes must be going somewhere, but it isn't necessarily going down Ihe gullets of our youngsters. Take away bread and jelly from the average 10-year-old and he'd starve. Mosl times a dish of whatever flakes happen lo sponsor their fav orite TV show suffices for break fast. School lunches are nourishing enough if they are eaten. Thai after-school snack, which has be come sanctified by TV advertising, can dull a child's appetite for sup per without providing any protein. The one hour of formal exeicise children get at school can't over come the three or four hours many of tbem spend daily in a TV trance. Parents lecture their children about physical fitness and then jump into the car lo make a two block trip to the store. For the real inside information, let's turn to a teen-ager. Carolyn Wood of Beaverton was a mem ber of our Olympic swimming team, winning a gold medal in the women's relays. She is 14. The av erage age of her teammates was 15. She says that in the other countries which produce crack swimmers, the girls reach their peak at about 22 or 23. Why don't American girls continue to improve their swimming through their teens? According to Carolyn, it is because at about 15 or 16, the girls begin to realize they are miss ing out on social life if they spend all their time in training. Suddenly, it dawns on the girls that their friends think they are "odd-balU" for devoting themselves to physical fitness. The explanation of our children's poor physical condition can he found in Carolyn's appraisal of the situation. It isn't that we can't get in peak condition when we want to. At the start of World War II, Army sergeants moaned about the weaklings they were giv en as trainees. Within a few months, however, our men were showing they could be the match of any army in Ihe world in physi cal stamina. The problem is that we simply don't care enough, chil dren or adults, to keep in shape. Until we do, the best diet and gymnasiums in the world won't do it for us. the spirit of Christmas be everywhere, and brighten every heart and home.
