It has been so since the fourth century, when the Western Church officially adopted December 25th as the date of the birth of the Saviour. Since that time, this greatest of all events has completely fore shadowed every historical event occurring on the same day. Ask anyone to tell you of something else In history that happened on December 25th other than the birth of Christ, and chances are they will give you a negative an swer. A few will remember that It was on this same date that George Washington crossed the Delaware. Only a true student of history will tell you that the date marks the birthday of Isaac Newton, Clara Barton and Frances Blake, among others. Actually, the fact that Washing ton crossed the Delaware on Christmas Is all the average American should be expected to remember. But, it's Interesting to note some of the other events that happened on the same day: In 1837, the BatUe of Okeecho bee. In 1941, Japanese captured Hong Kong. I In 1402, wreck of the Santa Ma-1 rla, at Haiti. ; In 1928, Hlrohito became Empern or of Japan. 1 It was also on Christmas day, in 1947, that China's constitution was adopted and went Into ef fect, making the date China's Na tional Renaissance Day. And, Christmas Is also the birthday of the town of Kelso, Washington, set tled on Christmas day, 1847, by Peter W. Crawford. SANTO COMES TO KCEWCto Just like most everyone else, Saint Nick prospered after be i came to America. I In Europe, before he reached I these shores, Saint Nick was a tall, ! angular man who rode a bony gray ! mare. He hadn't been in America long, however, before be had a new name, a new face, figure and 1 a new and better mode of trans- portatlon. The early English settlers In this country started Santa's "new look" process. They adopted the legend ary figure from the Dutch, but couldn't pronounce "Saint Nlcko lous." The best they could do was "Santa Kalouf," which was cor rupted to "Santa Claus." In 1809, Washington Irving In his "Knickerbocker's History of New York," changed Santa's physical appearance by describing him as a Jolly fellow with a broad-brimmed hat and huge britches. He also taught St. Nick to smoke a pipe, and traded his bay burner for a wagon. Clement Moore In his famous poem, "The Visit From Saint Nich olas," went even further. He gave Saint Nick a sleigh, twinkling eyes, cheeks like roses, nose like a cherry and a round little belly. Future writers may try to trade Prancer and Dancer off for a jet ship and trim down Santa's waist line. It will be a tough Job, for, though he Isn't streamlined, Santa pleases the young folks and that's "lahty important When we say "Thank You" for past favors it comes straight from the heart may you have a Merry Christmas.

M., DEC. 29 ELLA'S GRILL Heppner Gazette Elgin and Knappa Add to Heppner's Basketball Losses By Jim Morris ELGIN Heppner high's hoopsters fell victim for the third time in a row Friday, December 14. Their con querer was the Elgin Huskies by a score of 41-38. The game was a very exciting contest as it was a hard fought contest all the way. The Huskies jumped to, an early lead as they laced the twine for 3 field goals and dump, ed in two free throws for a 8-7 lead at the end of the first panel. The Mustangs came back strong in the second stanza to pot 9 points and take a 16-15 halftime lead. ' After the half the Huskies steadily hacked at the Mustang's lead until they led 27-26 at the beginning of the last period. From here on the lead changed hands until late in the fourth period the Huskies- gained a 5 point lead. The Mustangs weren't able to overcome this as they went uown in deleat. High scorer for the Mustangs was Ruhl with 13. High for Elgin was Miller with 15. KNAPPA The Knappa Loggers led by their big center Bob "Pudgy" Hunt, kept their victory string rolling as they downed Heppner's "missing" Mustangs, Saturday, December 15, by a score of 49-34. The loss was the fourth in a row for the Mustangs who were generally improved in their ball handling, but weren't able to con nect on their field goals as they missed 45 times from the field. It was commented that the Mus tangs are improving raoidlv and the season is still young. The Mustangs' fought the Log gers to a 10-8 first quarter score, but weren't able to keep up the pace as their defense faltered and their shots started to "avoid the bucket". This allowed the Loggers to build up a 23-10 ad vantage by halftime. In the third period the Log gers caught on fire and dumped in 16 points to take their widest lead of the evening, 39-14. The never-quitting Mustangs poured in 20 points in the last quadrant in a last effort but the Knappa lead proved to be to great as they went on to victory. High scorer for Heppner was Ruhl with 8. High for Knappa was Hunt with 23. o . Mrs. Grace Nickerson returned Thursday from a trip to Portland.

Even in times of war the battlefronts are often quiet and serene, by mutual consent, on Christmas Day. It was also on December 25th, in 1868, that President Johnson is sued his Civil War amnesty. In an attempt to heal the wounds left by the great war, Johnson issued an amnesty proclamation which did not exclude any persons or classes of persons not even the highest officials of the Confeder- , .mix acy. Previous amnesty proclama tions, issued both by Johnson and his predecessor Lincoln had not been "total" amnesties. At the time, President Johnson expressed the belief that universal amnesty would tend to secure per manent peace, order, and prosper ity throughout the country and would renew and restore respect for and attachment to the nation al government. The proclamation pardoned all persons who participated directly or Indirectly against the United States in the Civil War "with res toration of all rights, privileges and Immunities under the Consti tution and the laws which have also been made in pursuance thereof."
