THE CHRISTMAS STORY It ic an old story and it was told by different people, who naturally told it in different ways according to their impres sions of the sequence of events which occurred approximately 204S) years ago in Asia Minor. The story is that of the birth of Christ, profoundly significant in its effect upon humanity and in its influence on the trend of history in the centuries that have followed. The anniversary of that event we call Christ mas and we observe it understandingly o;- misuiierstanding ly, depending upon our interpretation of its meaning. But even in the blundering of misconception, it seems that, some how, what we refer to, perhaps a bit vaguely, as the spirit of Christmas still shines through and makes life and living brighter and cheerier at this season of the year. It is a season when we like to tell once more the story of Christmas or, better, to repeat the words of one who told it long, long ago. We give it now as it has come down to us in the Gospel according to St. Luke. And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was gov ernor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one to his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Jud&a, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished thiit she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them., and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not : for, behold. I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. . For unto you is born this day in the city of Da1d a Saviour, which is-Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you ; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem,' and see this thing which is come to pass, wnicn the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. an tail , Tonight and tomorrow there will be special services and programs keyed on the underlying truths contained in this old, old story. As we prepare for them, we think of one already presented in which there was especial pleasure the Christmas program of the music department of the high school. It brought inspiration as well as enjoyment to the many who were privileged to hear it.

There were some good grass and canes along the shore, and the vegetation at this place consisted principally of chenopodiaceous shrubs. PENSIONS PROVIDED Vancouver, Wash., Dec. 24 lPi Monthly pensions of S100, social security and health arid welfare benefits were included In a new contract for AFL a'uminum work ers by the Aluminum Company of America plant here, it was an nounced today. In a union-company anounce ment, terms of the pension agree ment applied to workers who re tire after 65 and after 25 years continuous service. Pensions above and below the $100 figure were agreed upon for workers whose qualifications exceed and fall below the standard. Other benefits included group life insurance, sickness and acci dent benefits, hospitalization and surgery- December 25 We were rous ed, on Christmas morning, by a discharge from the small arms and howitzer, with which our peo ple saluted the day; and the name of which we bestowed on the lake. It was the first time, perhaps, in this remote and desolate region, in which it had been so com memorated. Always, on days of religious or national commemor ation, our vcyageurs expect some unusual allowance; and, having nothing else. I gave them each a little brandy, (which was care fully guarded, as one of the most useful articles a traveller can carry.) with some coffee and su gar, which here, where everv eat able was a luxury, was sufficient to make them a feast.

Mother, Five Children Lose Lives in Fire San Antonio, Tex., Dec. 24 mi A mother and five of her seven children died early today in a fire that destroyed their home and left the father and a sixth child criti cally burned.. A seventh child escaped un harmed. Firemen said Mrs. Maria Mon telonga, 37, burned to death "like a flaming torch" on the lawn of the family's small three-room residence on San Antonio's west side. She died as the flames killed the five children- -Alejondro. 10; Andrea. 7; Yolanda, 5; Alicia. 4, and Carlos, 1. The husband. Ascencion. 3fi, was burned critically, as was 13-year-old Franciscn, who suffered burns over 90 per cent of her body. Bap tist Memorial hospital attendants said at mid-morning that both remained in critical contlitions. Firemen said the fire appar ently started from an overheated wood stove. One Child Escape They said the eight members of the family had been "asleep in every room in the house" and cream-like water In ponds, col ored by a clay soil and frozen over. Chenopodiaceous shrubs constituted the growth, and made again our fire wood. The animals were driven to the hill, where there was tolerably good grass. (To be continued) OUT ON THE FARM By Ha S. Grant that several bodies were found "right alongside the stove." Nine-year-old Josefina Monte longo, the only member of the family to eseuo unharmed, told firemen that she uwoke and saw the fire ami awakened her father. The father, she said, loused the mother and tried to lead her out the front door. But It was lock ed, the girl said, and her father could not get it open. Josefina said she managed to get the door open and run for help before her clothing ignited. Uy the tunc she could get neighbors to tile scene, however, the frcshly-iHiintcd house was al most solid flame.

' Phono 484 Dec. 24 "Everywhere, every where, Christmas tonight! Christ mas in lands of the fir tree and pine, Christmas in lands of the palm-tree and vine; Christmas where snow-peaks stand solemn and white, Christmas where corn fields lie sunny and bright." On Calico farm, there is an over-sized Christmas card framed in the picture window. Pine boughs and red candles on the window sill punctuate the country landscape, with the snow-covered mountains glistening In the win ter sun. The fir tree the Chief brought home from the woods is a daz zling spectacle, with' colored lights, silver rain and glass baub les of all colors. The cats seem to think we fixed it just for their ex press pleasure, and they love to play hide and seek umler the branches. s j The Young Man Insisted on presents for all the animals. A Christmas bell for Gypsy's bridle, a bow for Jiggs' collar, catnip mice for the cats, and nest eggs for the chickens. The whole family gathers in the kitchen, where the holiday cook ing is going on. Busy as these days are, there's time to bake mince pies, fruited applesauce cake and Christmas cookies. The Chief always pops popcorn, cracks nuts and makes fudge. All through the house, the Christmas-tide holds sway. More than any other time of the year, this is the season for fellowship, good cheer and happiness! Merry Christmas, one and all! MRRY CHRISTMAS It's time tor Chmtmsr Carols, lime for wreaths and holly, and lime especially for us- to wish that your Christmas this year be a jolly success.
