GUEST EDITORIAL Whot Christmas-1966-Means By THE REV. DONALD R. PEDERSON Pastor, Hope and Valby Lutheran Churches Christmas has to do with Sin and Grace. The coming of Jesus Christ is a most serious matter. Deep under the tinsel there is the real mtanmg of Christmas. God became man. a human being like you and me. He had a mind, and a wilL and he had arms and legs, a face, and veins that flow ed with blood. He came to this planet called earth, because of the love of God which none of us can claim, none can earn by good works (Grace). He came to this earth to take care of Sin, that power that holds us in a vice like grip too often. Many sing lustily at Christmasime. yet don't really know why. Too many of us don't realize the implications of the birth of Jesus Christ from the womb of the Virgin Mary. We are happy with the baby Jesus, but we won't take on the man Jesus Christ and all that that means. A little girl once said to her father: "Jesus was born to die". Our Lord Jesus Christ lived a life that included training in his youth, constant worship, instant prayer, and hard werk as a carpenter. He must have been one of most rug ged of individuals. He must have been a strong, muscle bound man, capable of lifting beams and rafters. He was not the effeminate, weak-looking, nice-appearing, kind of grand pa that most of us have made him appear. He could be angry, yet he was full of compassion. He was loving, but his love was not the sloppy sentimental kind which is seen so many times today. His love never counted the cost; his love never demanded self -recognition; his love never boast ed. He came to serve, not to be served. He came to love, to show that God had not abandoned his highest creation man. He came to save oil men, black and white plus all shades in between. Sometimes the Christian church isolates itself and the joy of God's grace that came through the birth of Christ Isola tion makes you feel lenely, like keeping an answer to your self, or celebrating alone, or locking yourself up in a private place. Wouldn't it be great if your personal faith could be shared with Christians in Japan, Germany, Africa, and Viet Nam and China? Wouldn't it be wonderful if you had a way of know ing what the other people think? You will be able to do that the rest of your life onry if you begin practicing at home. Discussion is important Shar ing is important. Looking at each other's questions is im portant. Listening to what the other person is saying is most important. But treating the other person, be it wife, husband, parent or child, as one of God's creatures, his high est is the key to Christmas. One of the things that seems to happen at Christmastime is that people are kinder toward each other. They listen more. They care more. God cares for you too, regardless of what anyone else does or sajs; regardless of how you feel about yourself. He is greater than your feelings; He is greater than your sins and problems. He cares; that is why He sent His only Son to this earth for you and me. On Christmas, everybody loves the baby Jesus. It's no problem to love the baby Jesus. But the baby grew up, and we don't want to go with Him the rest of the way, to the Upper Room, or Gethsemane, or the crucifixion on Calvary. Yet Jesus Himself said it: "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and fol low me." We answer: "Who, me? You must be kidding." The Rec. C. B. Hurt, in the Dec. 27, 1966 issue of LOOK, says: "I think our next great revival in the church may come not by numerical growth but by subtraction. The issues will have to be faced. The church must stand for the Christ who died on a cross, not just the baby Jesus. The people look ing for peace and quiet, wanting the church kept unrelated to lifa, will have to fall away or change. We can no longer be comfortable in the face of tremen dous evil in the world Christians are going to have to make a choice: Stand up for what you profess or get out There is no real choice. If you can't make the teaching of Jesus rele vant, you are already cut" TO THE EDITOR. To the Editor: Christmas would not be com plete without expressing the thanks and appreciation to those who have given the Keep Oregon Green program such fine support during the past year. Your help meant a lot to us in carrying on this fine pub lic service project in the inter est of reducing man-caused forest fires in our state. I hope that we can continue to work together in the new year for the test interest of for est owners, operators and the public. MERRY CHRISTMAS Albert Wiesendanger Executive Secretary KEEP OREGON GREEN ASSOCIATION, INC. Thursday. December 22. 1966 HEPPNER NATION At NEWSPAPft HELEN E. SHERMAN Associate Publisher Warren Playing In College Band Steve Warren, son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Warren, of Heppner is playing in the Ricks College symphony band conducted by Dr. Jay Slaughter. Warren, a graduate of Hepp ner High school with the class of 1966, plays bass in the band. He was a member of the high school band here. Ricks college is located in Rexburg, Idaho. The band plays for athletic games at the school and presented a concert Decem ber 14. It is composed of 84 members. Mrs. Bothwell Better Mrs. Bruce Bothwell is mak ing steady improvement after undergoing surgery in Pioneer Memorial hospital Tuesday, De cember 13, her husband reports. He hopes she will be able to be home for Christmas but has received no definite word from her doctor on that point yet. NO HOLLY 1 Chaff and Wes OUR GREATEST hope, at this Christmas time, is that some how the conflict can bo termi nated in Vietnam before anoth er Christmas so that American boys can be home with their families. No matter how bright the Christmas tree nor how gaily wrapped the Christmas gifts, homes with boys missing cannot be nearly as happy with them serving overseas in the misery of Vietnam. Christmas is a time of peace, and it is fit ting at this holidav season that our people concentrate on pray ers for settlement of the conflict. What a joyous Christmas It could be in 1967 if a cessation of hostilities could be possible. INNOVATION in this week's pa per is the greetings that have been drawn for the Christmas edition by art students of Terry Lincecum. The idea came about sometime ago in conference with Miss Lincecum, with the thought that it would be novel and nice to have the young sters express themselves in their own ways. It has taken a bit of doing to work out the project, but it has proven more than just get ting a smile from the children's work. Wre have received quite an education on art in the pro cess, and this is something! We might suggest that before you look at the youngster's art work, read Terry s article on page 3 of section 2. As she says, you will enjoy their pictures more when you have a bit of background of it. Many merchants share this interest in sponsori n g the youngsters drawings as the an nual Christmas greetings from their firms. They are paying for the space used. We are sorry that it isn't pos sible to use more of the pic tures, but it is hoped that many of the rest can be placed on display in a downtown window. Miss Lincecum is doing ex cellent work with her students here, and she gives a broader perspective on the subject than we have had before. When she can get us to take this point of view, she's doing something because, of the sev en stages she explains in her article on development in art, I'm quite sure the editor never advanced beyond the Scribble stage. WE LOST the cordiality of at least one by moving into our new office. She positively re fuses to enter the new front door, and to get her to come into our place of business, we have to open up the door of the old office. We're referring to Mike (Mi chelle) the cat.

When we go open the old of fice door, she comes bounding in with a "Kurrrunth," her thank you. Mike had a certain chair she preferred in that old office, but things aren't the same any more. HEPPNER AND 10NE high schools are always having a problem makinc ends meet on student body expenses. Particu larly expensive are the costs in the athletic departments. This holiday season, the schools are starting a tradition which is designed to give the public some enjoyment and at the same time help their stu dent bodies' financial plight. The Mustangs and the Cards will stage an "extra" basketball game, and this will be Friday, December 30, this year in the Heppner gym. A preliminary game is being arranged between girls of the two schools which should add another entertaining touch. After expenses are paid, the money is split between the two student bodies. Join the crowds, come out and give the kids a boost. This is the only game at which season tickets do not ap ply at Heppner. THINK YOU know all about the geography of the State of Oregon? Then tell us where is Tuttle Point of Yakso Falls. How about Grindstone Ridge. Well, we're not so smart either. These are brand new names that are announced by the Ore gon Historical Society, and we're Just reading that the Ore gon Geographic Names Board has approved Tuttle Point and Grindstone Ridge for places in Washington coun t y, Douthlt Springs in Crook county and Yakso Falls in Douglas county. Grindstone Ridge Is four miles in lencth and extends south ward from South Saddle Moun tain. Tuttle Point, 2042 feet. Is at the southern edge of a ridge between Lee Creek and Sain Creek. Yakso Falls is a 70-foot high waterfall in Little River and is near Quartz Mountain and Twin Lakes. "Yakso" means "hair of the head" in Gills Dictionary of Chinook Jargon, 1960. IN TODAY'S mail came a nice Christmas letter from Nels and Esther Anderson from Nia mey, Niger, Africa. With it was another installment of "Africa Calling." Although it was mail ed December 11, we just got it and so can't get it in this week's paper. We'll try to make it next Always...

And Rift wrapped, too! That Is exactly what the Oregon cattle Indus try received In the form of sales for Bvf Gift Certificates dur ing lust year's holiday season. Already, thev are expecting to surpass last year's sales during the coming gift season. This is Indicated bv the fact that to date, more thnn $10,000 of these heef gift certificates have al ready hit'ii imrchased bv Ore gon business firms as gifts for customers and employes, ac cording to Jim Brooks, Madras, chairman of the Oregon Beef Council. Another factor which Is responsible for this high sales volume Is that both statewide banks, the U. S. National and the First National, have niireed to sell these certificates at all their branches. This means that the beef Industry has over 200 sales offices throughout Oregon selling beef. Both hanks also assist in promoting these Beef Gift certificates. Traditionally, beef sales in the United States take a sharp decline from Thanksgiving to the middle of January, thus, this Increase In beef sales hrough Beef Gift cor tificales Is really a 'gift' to the Oregon Bef Industry. Brooks also stated that, know ing you are not going to change the consumer s traditional food fare holidav eaing habits, the Oregon Beef Council originated the Beef Certificate Idea thtw years ago. First year's sales were only $5,000 then Jumed to $20,0X) the second year, and last year, with the Increased sales help from this state's two leading banking institutions, sales went over $50,000. The Idea behind these unique gift certificates is simple: they are the size of a regular check, are equivalent to a cashier's check drawn by the Beef Coun cil on the First National and the U. S. National banks. These colorful and attractive certifi cates are available In $5.00, $10.00 and $1500 denominations. With each certificate comes an eye catching, three color gift folder with a Western theme de sign. All cost for such things as printing of the certificates, gift folders and over all promo tion of the program Is paid for by the Oregon beef Industry. There are no handling costs or charges to the purchaser. Redemption of these beef gift certificates is quite easy and simple. They can be redeemed for beef at any retail grocery store or meat market In the en tire United States. The retailer handles the certificates as he would a traveler's check and banks it with his regular depos it. week. In the meantime, we'll use this means to convey on behalf of the Andersons, the good wishes at Christmas time from them to all their friends here. AND SO SAYING, we'll go out to climb Grindstone Ridge and shout "Merry Christmas" so loud you can hear it clear to Yakso Falls.
