The Bend Bulletin. Tuesday. December 21. 1954 3a IKE FACES A FARM PROBLEM Aimed with a motion picture camera, President Eisenhower stoops over to inspect a couple of Black Angus cows on a farm adjoining his home ut Gettysburg, Pa. The President and Mrs. Elsenhower were spending a weekend away Irom the White House. Midnight Mass as Nazareth. Climax of Yule Activities NAZARETH (UP) The fever- lsh activity that has been grip ping the people of this town where the Savior grew to manhood comes to a peaceful climax at the -close of Midnight Mass in the Church of the Annunciation. For weeks, the 12,000 Christians .of this town of more than 20,000 persons have been "preparing to send off the 800 fortunate ones go ing to Bethlehem in Jordan to celebrate Christmas at the Church of the Nativity. The thousands un able to go themselves (either be cause Israel or Jordan, or both have refused to authorize their crossing the border), will take part in the bustle surrounding the lucky ones. Chartered buses and cars pack ed with pilgrims to the birthplace of Christ will leave Dec. 24 in a long caravan wending its way up the road leading out of Nazareth into the low hills to the west. On one of these hills, Jesus ad dressed the multitudes following Him from far and wide (Matthew 5), immersing them in the glory emanating from ' His words. Speeding along the highway, the pilgrims will easily be able to see some of the physical splendor serving as a backdrop for the Sermon on the Mount... ' Jordan Territory . ' Before them the bright green Plain of Esdraelon will stretch out in a breathtaking panorama which Jesus, too, must have looked at with the same awe. Farther to the west, the deep blue curve of Acre Bay embraces the Mediterranean with fingers of scintillating gold. Far off to the north, snow-capped Mt. Hermon seems to be washing itself in the clear azure sky and becoming whiter with each pass ing moment. Before the Holy Land was rent in two by .Arab-Jewish enmity, pilgrims used to travel due south for a distance' of 8T miles to Jeru salem by way of biblical Shech em now Nablus. Since 1948, most of this road is in Jordan terri tory, so they must travel twice that distance in order to reach the Holy City in a roundabout wav. Many talk of some bright day in the obscure future when Israel and Jordan will have buried the hatchet and Nazareth Christians once more will be able to make the pilgrimage to Bethlehem with out special authorizations along the road Jesus must have followed from His home in Galilee. At the entrances to Nazareth, police checkposts have been re established to keep non-Christians from overflowing the town. Res taurants and cafes even those be take pride in gaily decorated Christmas trees prominently dis played. Greek and Catholic Promptly at midnight, Dec. 24, Father Jean Joseph AUiot, guard ian of the Franciscan monastery, will begin the Mass in the Church of the Annunciation built on the foundations of 12th century Cru saders' church as a priest in a black gown embroidered with gold taps three times on the flor. At the eastern end of the town stands the Greek Orthodox Church of the Annunciation both the Ro man Catholic and Greek Ortho dox churches bear the same name, Nearby is a spring flowing into what is known as Mary's Well. The people of Nazareth are sure this is where the virgin came to draw water. At 10:30 P. M. Dec. 24, Father Basilio Samman, head of the Greek Catholic Community, will celebrate Mass in his church. Near this church is a chapel said to be on the site of the synagogue where Jesus preached. Not far off is a domed chapel containing the Table of Christ, a huge stone around which Jesus, according to tradition, sat with His disciples. The Anglican and Baptist Churches also will conduct serv ices which they close with carol singing. A little after 2 a.m. Dec. 25. visitors leaving the town nestling among hills sacred to all Christen dom, will drive slowly so they can take in more of the flickering lights and illuminated crosses adorning church spires. Dr. Laughead Says Chicago Wilt Be Spared Destruction Surefire Way To Handle Dogs SAPULPA, Okla.-(UP) A local gas meter reader, Harry Hines. claims he has a surefire method of handling strange dogs that may show signs of getting belligerent. Hines said his 35 years of expe rience in strolling into backyards and peeking into corners and un der porches for meters has taught him one thing any halfway spunky dog is likely to take an experimen tal nip out of man's calf under such circumstances. Hines explained his "system" in three words "take after 'em." "The moment you step into a yard, don't take any chance," he says. "Tae kafter the dog and run him until he goes under the porch or jumps the fence and clears out." Hines keeps in constant practice hnd his presence of mind never falters. He cites this incident as an example. "I was visting a home on the south side of the city and the porch had ice on it. I slipped and fell through a plate glass window right into the living room. "A big black bulldog lyying by the fire snarled and started for me. I hollered 'boo' and started for him. That got his goat, and, after about four times around the room, he took put through a door into the dining room and I heard the sound of breaking glass, that dog had gone through the dining room window. ' - "He came back, the folks told me later, In about a week looking as gaunt as a distance runner." Make Certain Of Safe Christmas NEW YORK (UP) The Na tional Board of Fire Underwriters offers these recommendations to guard against Christmas fire haz ards: 1. Choose a small tree rather than a large one. 2. Store it outdoors until a day or two before Christmas. 3. When you bring it in, stand it in water and set it in a cool part of the house, away from ra diators, heaters and fireplaces. Don't let it block an exit. 3. Be sure every lighting set and electric cord you use is in good condition no worn or frayed wires, no loose sockets. (Natural ly, you never use candles!) 4. When you buy new sets or cords, look for the UL label. The ones that bear it have passed Un derwriters' Laboratories tests or fire and shock hazards. 5. Provide a switch some dis tance from the tree for turning tree lights on and off. 6. Ornaments should all be made of fireproof materials like metal or glass. Never decorate with cotton or paper unless they are labelled "fireproof" or "flame proof." 7. Never set up electric trains under the tree! 9. Don't leave tree lights burn ing when no one is home. 10. From time to time, see whether needles near the lights have started to turn brown. If so, change the position of the ' :'ih;. 11. V'hen needles start to fall, take ihe tree down and discard it outdoors! By ALFRED LEECH I'nlted Press Stall Corespondent CHICAGO (UP) Dr. Charles Laughead said today he had re ceived a "message" that Chicago will not be destroyed by tidal waves and earthquakes as he pre dicted and the end of the world is not at hand. The ousted Michigan State col lege physician said the "message" came from forces In outer space 4 hours and 45 minutes after Chi cago's supposed day of doom hni' begun. The reprieve was granted through the Intercession of God. who "is in thy midst," Laughead quoted the "message" as saying laughead said he and 13 other believers in the imminent end of the world sat in a suburban Oak Park home all night waiting for "The Father's message." Laughead "Gratified" "We feel quite gratified" that Chicago will not be engulfed and me world is not in its last days, Laughead said. Laughead and Mrs. Dorothy Martin, the co-leader of the cult, have been issuing warnings for the past weeks that Dec. 21 would see a tidal wave from Lake Mich igan flood Chicago, accompanied by . earthquakes that would, shaki the midwest. . 1 nines woi'ia get far wove ir 1955, when,- they said, the known world would come to an end Mrs. Martin, a 53-year-old Oak Park grandmother, said she re ceived the warnings from "con noiters" who dwelt on a plant in outer space and checked up on the world in flying saucers. Laughead and Mrs. Martin re oaited their predictions up until today's early hours. They said last minute checks with the "connoit- erS" hnd confirmed the coming destruction. . Nothing Can Be Done "There's nothing you can do," Laughead warned Chicagoans. , i.lther you re ready or you re not. Then the watchers at Mrs. Mar tin s home refused to give .any more statements as they awaited further "messages. The "message" of reprieve, Laughead said, told them "there is but one God of earth and he Is Three Birthdays On the Same Day BUFFALO, N.Y.

"For from the mouth of death have ye been delivered and at no time has there been such a force loosed upon Ihe earth. Not since the beginning of time upon this arth has thei been such a force of good and light as now floods this room." - Laughead, a former medical missionary, said the "message' meant "the earth is to be saved from this cataclysm." Chicagoans had seemed little disturb! by Laughead's warnings of death and destruction. ' Most of them were more worried about getting their Christmas shopping done. Kids Given Toys From Germans NURNBERG, Germany-(UP) Santa Claus, is coming from Ger many this year. At least this will be true for thousands of orphans in the United States who will receive 10 tons of toys from German makers.

(UP) Ninety per cent of all present day prescriptions call for drugs un known to most doctors 20 years ago, according to John Zugich, as sistant director of the University of Michigan's hospital. . Zugich, writing in an American Hospital Association publication, said most of the world now was in the "golden age when man has pro vided more relief and freedom from suffering or bodily ills than ever before in his history." Although many of the modern "miracle drugs" are expensive, Zu gich said, they are cheap when compared with hospital expenses they eliminate. He said a pneu monia case probably would have cost a patient $400 back in 1931, whereas today uncomplicated cases can be treated at home for only $60. "We hear a lot about the rising costs of medical care," he said. "The truth is, the cost of a drug today is no measure of the'eost of. an illness." v (( Om ttg. HAV-H-MC MARSHAL!
