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

Dr. Jay Slaughter.
Warren, a graduate of Hepp

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

members.

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. She stands out

side the new front door and
meows mournfully, but will not
enter when the door is opened.
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

ed December 11, we just got it

Beef Certificates
Boosted as Gifts
For Christmas
How would you like $50.
OOO.tX) Christmas gift? 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.
