Today through out the world there is almost "Peace on earth, goodwill toward men.” In the Christians nations, particularly, there is hut little armed conflict. In Greece and Yugoslavia border incidents occurred today, yesterday, and they will probably continue to occur tomorrow. But little more than a year ago, however, full scale warfare was ravaging the face of Europe. In the nations of the Far East, and the Near Fast there are political upheavals, small scale revolutions, and civil war. The foreign colonies in those regions will celebrate Christmas, the natives will continue their wavs and will have their religious celebrations at the time pre scribed for them. Yet throughout the world, Christmas is known, and the story of the Christ child’s birth has been told and retold, in every tongue known to man, and in many of the countries of the world, whether Christian or not, the period of Christmas is marked by a time of giving gifts, a practice taken from the custom common to those lands where Christianity is practiced. The greatest gift of all is friendship. This one thing, if it can be fostered on a worldwide scale, would do much toward breaking down the barriers which exist between nations and peoples. O ur gift this Christmas toward the people of the world should be the extended hand of friendship. The United Nations organization offers a recipric.il oppor tunity to the other nations of the world to accept that hand and return the gesture. "Peace on Earth, Good Will to men,” when men on earth begin to follow this prxeept, and to practice it as a major philosophy this world will begin to be, "One World.” Peace, (looil-U ill Skeptics regard the whole thing as mere invention, colored with O ri ental imagery, designed to honor C hrist; and faith accepts the star as the supernatural phenomenon which proclaimed the birth of Jesus. The first chapter of the gos pel according to St. Matthew be gins: ' The book of tiie generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham . . ." And confirming Bethlehem as the city of David, the angel of the Lord declared: "F o r unto you Is born this day, in the city of David, a SAVIOUR which is CHRIST the L o rd ." St. Luke 2:11. Considering tradition, which ac cepts that King D avid’s shield formed a six-pointed star, the Star of Bethlehem appropriately " . stood over where the young Child was.” St. Matthew 2 9 U sed As Good Luck Charm R ings o f m is tle to e w ere w orn a ro u n d the n ic k in Sweden to p re ven t »iC tness. Oinslwias ¿histoers It’s An 111 Wind The fire that burned KWIN to the ground was at first glance a major catastrphe, it may be almost, all for the best, if the station is rebuilt as present plans indicate. KWIN was built last summer at a time when many items of equip ment were hard to get, and much of the equipment was substitute. Today the equipment shortages are not as great as they were six months ago and if the station is rebuilt, better equipment can be utilized. Secondly, as in building a new house, many small errors of design and planning were made. These errors can be remedied this time and a better operating unit can be built. Third, since the station has been off the air, we've all discovered how much we miss it. Jim Strickland’s early morning, "Wake Up Rogue Valley” show; A rt Stanley melodously reading a tire shop commercial ,and Lou Ritchie excitedly getting "that ball across that line,” in a football broadcast w'ere enjoyable and w'e’ll be glad to hear them again. We’re going to miss KWIN during the next six or seven months, but we’re sure that the station will be back, bigger and better than ever. Roy Peck did an amazing job in getting KW IN off to a fine start at a time w'hen technical equipment and materials were practically non-existent; we’re sure that Bob Reinholdt will do as well, and we only hope than he can profit by Roy’s experience. Home Town Referees We’re solidly behind Parker Hess and regret that he had the un fortunate experience of running into a group of Pacific University basketball players who preferred arguing about decisions rather than playing basketball. We think that Parker did the only possible thing open to him in calling the game, but the fact remains that many people, who weren’t at the game, will very likely take the opposite view and will feel that inasmuch as the referee was from Ashland that he was giving the SOC ball club the benefit of the doubt. This is a haywire hypothesis that will always persist. The truth of the m atter is that usually the home town referee bends over back wards to keep from favoring the home town team and as a result often gives the other club the better of the decisions. Either way, home town referees are on the spot. There should be enough qualified referees in this area to enable the various schools an opportunity to hire out-of-town officials who need not worry about anybody’s reaction, but who can feel when they have finished a ball game that they have completed a job, and that no one can point a finger at them and say "biased.” The crowd will be happier, the coaches will be happier, and the officials, we’re sure, would prefer it that way.
