EMMANUEL (GOD WITH US) Next Monday will be Christmas, Last week the President of the United States de dared a state of emergency. Our town and the Christian world will greet the birthday of Jesus Christ with many thoughts. What will the Korean situation develop into'’ Is this the eve of another great war? And, if it is, will civilization be destroyed by the hideous weapons that man has de vised to kill his fellow man. These questions can only be answered as history, itself, writes the course of events and “having writ moves on." Of these things we are sure: a great giant of a philosophy collectively called Marx-Lenin-Stalin Com munism has drawn itself into a mighty marsian force which, like an octopus, is reaching out of its lair to throttle freedom throughout the world. For almost 30 years this force has set aside its international philo sophy of world revolution by the proletariat to develop Toastmasters Plan J erry Langer to a strong Russian nationalism.

He is not alone in his flight from an oppressor’s iron rule of feaf and purges. One-thousand nine-hun dred and fifty-four years ago a man named Joseph fled Bethlehem in Judea with his wife Mary and the boy Jesus to escape the wrath of King Herod, who feared this new-born “King of the Jews.” Not knowing Jesus’s identity. Herod ordered that all the children of two years and under in Bethlehem and the coasts thereof be murdered. As we know, Jesus made it safely to Egypt and later returned to Israel after Herod and his followers had died. It is with a fervent hope that we pray that our Russian family, the Alexander Markoff’s, and many like them all over the world can return to Russia some day when Communism is gone. The nationalist plan of Russia has now achieved its purpose. Since the last war the international aspect of Communism has swung into position and is now seen in control of many governments in Europe and Asia. This is what we are fighting. The blackness of the situation may lead some of us to follow Ebenezer Scrooge’s admonition of Christmas with a “Bah!” and a “Humbug!" This epithet fits well the modern cynic who fol lows the m aterialist’s philosophy. There are many more who have hitched their hopes to the star from the East which led the three wise men so many years ago to the place of the birth of Jesus. It is to this star that we look for light in this darkened moment as the birthday of our Savior approaches. With our faith we ask in all humility for “Peace on earth, good will toward men.” venting c ra c k in g T r a ffic deaths in O regon have a lre a d y exceeded the to ta ls lo r 1949 w ith D ecem ber yet to he added to th e to ta l, re p orts E a rl T N e w h ry . se cre ta ry o f state T iie e stim a ted to ll fo r N ovem her is 40 deaths w h ic h b rin g s tiie y e a rly to ta l up to 373 17 m ore th un 1949 T he se cre tary e x p la in e d th u t fa ta litie s h i De eem ber o f last ye ar Jum ped 00 per cent o ve r the m on th h c fo ic II«' described the m a jo r fa c to rs In tin* h ig h D ecem ber flu u re as being the hea vy tra v e l d u rin g the h o lid a y season, and tin 1 heavy d rin k in g w h ic h uc- companics it A dded to Uns is tiie I irg e i n u m b e r o f p ed es,rlun II,iz.n ils ill d o w n to w n areas II wus s tro n g ly urged by the seer«',ary tliu t m o to ris U whose lu d id a y plans in c lu d e n i in k in g should li'u v c th e ir cars at home.

The wild rush of the crowded stores, the garland and holly-strewn windows, carols of near and far, Christmas trees lighted and tinselled, Santa Clauseaxtf fancy and of flesh, sugar candies, plum pud ding, and the merry laughter of bright-eyed young sters. All these are Christmas. All these we love. Surely with so much, nothing is lacking. But look, there is no Christ Child; the Prince of Peace is not there. It is only when the multi-colored mufflers, flan- neled coats and mackinaws are donned and paths turned toward the stable, adorned by the hands and gifts of the poor and of the rich, that Christmas finds its full meaning. Selfishness alone should find no dwelling at Christmas. Alongside the giving of Christ, what is of ourselves fades. If our life is tattered. He shall restore it. If our life is sorrowful, in our giving He shall make it full of joy. If hate has found a part in our heart, His love shall convert it to stronger love. He shall teach us the way of peace and of good will. F o r the peace to be found—the peace to men of good will—cannct oe found outside the stable. The an swer to a troubled, selfish and war-ridden world lies in giving as the Omnipotent God gave Himself one clear starry night long ago. There you find it in Beth lehem’s cave amid the joyous singing of the angels, the warm breath of the sheep and the donkeys, the ad- I piiration of the simple shepherds, and the adoration of Mary and Joseph. To the stable then go to seek peace. There look for Christ the Savior. There find with Mary and Joseph, 5 kneeling and pondering in adoration and humble pray er, the meaning of Christmas. Any offer of something for nothing from any gov ernment, whether in the guise of “Free” state medicine or any other sugar-coated-paternalism. is a cruel hoax. — (Seal Beach, Cal., Post and Wave) These secretions, w hen lib e r uted in a b n o rm a l a m ounts w ith in the h um an body, a ffe c t g ro w th and m e ta b o lism They account fo r giants, d w a rfs , and m any o f the ills o f the hum an race.
