Christmas Theme
.'; Of Baxter's Talk
Insists "Hope Is Greater
Than History"; Tells
v of Christ's Time
Dwight Morrow's one-sentence
address, "Hope is greater than
history ."delivered to a pessimist
ic audience in the depression win
ter, of 1932, afforded Bishop
Bruce R. Baxter the theme for
m uansimas discussion ai in sa
- lem chamber of commerce lunch
eon Monday noon.
1 . i . - . a J
as -now, when Christ was. bora
near the close of Augustus Cae
sar's reign, the bishop reminded
his audience; there were five ciril
wars and Augustus had issued a
list of 2300 persons scheduled
for execution and offered a boun
ty for their heads.
. ' Turning from history to
f'hope," the bishop declared that
"God Is nerer late for his ap
pointments" and pointed ont that
Christ's coming was scheduled be
cause people had gotten the
wrong Idea about God and need
ed to see what he was like.
"Peace on earth to men of good
will" is now the accepted trans
lation of the angers song, Dr
Baxter mentioned; the world can
not have peaoe without good will,
but in observing that good will is
lacking today in some quarters,
he advised looking "within" rath
er than thinking exclusively of
Hitler and Mussolini.
Dr. Baxter was Introduced ' by
Ray Tocom who recounted some
of the bishop's contributions to
Salem's civic life during his ten
ure as Willamette university pres
ident which will terminate with
this college year.

3r Days Deaths Are Over
19 Days Before; 1940
1 Short of '39 Total
Drive and waljt-carefully dur
ing the holiday season" was the
warning issued here yesterday by
Secretary of State Earl Snell.
Snell called particular atten
tion in his message to nine traffic
fatalities in Oregon during the
three days ending late December
22. Prior to these fatalities there
were only eight traffic deaths in
Oregon during December. Five of
these fatalities resulted from one
crash.
"These fatalities emphasize the
necessity for more careful driving
during the holiday season," Snell I
declared. "Adverse driving con
ditions due to rain, fog, snow or
ice, heavy traffic during the
Christmas rush and emotional ex
citement all tend to increase the
danger in traffic.
"Only by driving and walking
carefully can we hope to keep
these traffic tragedies to a mini
mum during the remainder of the
month."
Snell said traffic accidents had
claimed a total of 339 lives so far
this year, just one short of the
1939 toll of 34 0 deaths.
