WATCH for OUR OPENING In JANUARY POPE PIUS GIVES FIVE POINT PLAN E Pontiff's Annual Christmas Message Urges End Of Aggression, Arms Race ton. At the conclusion of the program Santa Claus presented gifts and candy to the children, mothers and teachers. Vatican City, Dee. 24 (Of ficlal broadcast recorded by (JP)) Pope Pius XII, in his annual Christmas eve message to the world, laid down a five point plan for future world peace, pre dicated upon "an adequate and progressive limitation or arma ments. The pontiff, broadcasting over the Vatican radio, said that In the world of the future there must be no place for: 1. Any kind of aggression. 2. . Oppression of minorities. 3. Designing nations seeking a monopoly on economic wealth. 4. Total war or armaments races. 8. Persecution directed against religious sects or churches because faith "is one of the rights of mankind." There must be a progressive limitation of armaments," he said. 'True respect for treaties must be observed." Strident Contrast Chrlstmastide rejoicing, the pope said, "resounds in strident contrast with the events about us whose roar over hill and dale creates a terrifying fracas, de vastating land and homes . . . and throwing millions of men and their families into unhappl ness, misery and death." He said he looked with an guish not only on the horrors of the struggle but at its wasteful cost. While the health and strength of youth are weakened by "the present scourge," his holiness lamented, debts are rising to undreamed of levels and must Inevitably lead to a contraction of "the forces of production in the civil and social field." The message was the pope's customary reply to Christmas greetings from the College of Cardinals. RUBY E.

AT YULE MEETING An earnest plea for the peo ple of America to be worthy of the responsibilities tnat are theirs during the emergency and for America to "win the peace" after winning the war, was voiced by Dean U. G. DuBach of Oregon State College at the Medford Rotary club's annual Christmas party Tuesday. Ro ta nans and their wives filled the Hotel Medford banquet room to enjoy a special yuletlde pro gram and hear the inspiring message from the educator. Other nations of the world have failed in achieving per manent peace through the ages, Dean DeBach reminded the Ro tary audience. America is now on trial and it is the privilege of our generation to become cus todians of the American way for future ages. The speaker reviewed the ec onomic and social progress of this nation, pointing out that America, with six percent of the world's area has unbounded ma terial wealth the greatest num ber of automobiles, radios, tel ephones and those things with which civilization - has been measured. He lauded the Job of our forefathers in welding all laces into a great American people, offering unlimited op portunity for education and ec onomic, political and social ad vancement. Contrast was drawn by Dean DuBach between America and many of the so-called "have not" nations. South America was es pecially stressed, with emphasis Riven to serious German and Japanese influences counter to our way of life. Japan, America's present en emy and great menace, is a land that is over-populated and under-supplied. The annual income from average farms of two and one-half acres Is but $90, Du Bach said, while the average mortgage on these farms is $210. The regimentation of youth in axis nations was pointed out a movement which has brought to such a tragic climax the strug E'e for dominance on the part cf Germany, Japan and Italy. This has progressed while we have been asleep, the educator snid. Richard Bishop, youthful vi olinist, entertained with Mrs. Allene Maddox at the piano. Christmas carols were also sung by the group with Wilson Wait as director. A stirring plea for support of the Red Cross money-raising campaign was voiced by E C. Corn. C. I. Hays was program chairman. Stan Philips was chairman for the netting and John Day introduced the speaker.
