Strain closed his remarks with the saluation of the shep herds "peace be with you." A girls chorus from Parnsh junior high, directed by Mrs. Madalene Suko, provided appro priate Christmas music.

No Brownout Seems Likely If weather conditions are fa vorable Salem and all other northwest places probably will get along without a "brownout in illumination this winter. Word received at the Salem office of the Portland General Electric company indicates that electrical facilities in the north west will . be able to carry the load if a freeze so severe as to freeze streams and reduce the flow of water at powei genera tion points does not occur. Precipitation during the past months has been adequate to keep streams in good condition However, the power pool ad vises against heavy new electric installations.

Hopson, 66, the fin ancial wizard who created a bil lion-dollar utilities empire that crumbled as he went to prison for mail fraud, died yesterday. He had been living in broken health for the past five years at a sanitarium here. During and since World War II, the Chinese nationalists ac quired a considerable number of light naval vessels. How many of these are still in their hands and based on Formosa is uncertain. Some are being used in the nationalist blockade of the communist-hold port of Shanghai, in which American merchant ships have been fired upon. If the nationalists still have the bulk of their navy and it remains loyal, it is credited here with being able to repel an in vasion of Chinese communists On the other hand, if substantial elements have gone over to the Reds or go over to them in the future, that would ease the way to invasion. For China's navy in recent years included not only cruiser, destroyers and escort vessels but scores of landing craft. Under lend-lease and subse quent aid programs, the nation alists received 131 ships from the United States during and after the last war. These in cluded six destroyer escorts, 131 sub chasers, six motor gunboats and 84 landing craft. The lat ter were intended mostly to de liver supplies.

A group of 75 dairy herd own ers agreed Tuesday to ship their milk to a Grants Pass cheese plant or keep it down on the farms because of the refusal of distributors to boost pay ments to herd owners. It followed by seven weeks thei state board's order reducing the amount received by the dairy men. There was no report of acute shortage here as yet. Distribu tors had some milk in storage and being processed, and hoped to obtain additional supplies from dairymen who do not nor mally market their milk here.
