Calls May Set Record
Portland (U.R) I. D. Win

Co., said today he expects long
distance calls placed in Oregon
over the Christmas holidays to
set an all-time record.
Winslow said the- expected
calls would load circuits to twice
their normal capacity. He said
every available operator would
be put on duty to handle the
rush. But the assistance of cus
tomers, he said, would help
most to ease the situation.
He urged callers to know the
number being called if possible.
And to make "Season'! greet
ing" types of calls before Christ
mas day.
The company expects some
15,000 calls to Eastern points
on Christmas day and 60,000
calls to Western cities.

Church Members Find
Answer in Bible
Worcester, Mass. (U.R) The
answer was in the Bible when
300 members of the Pilgrim Con
gregational church found they
couldn't pay a newly hired asso
ciate minister.
Remembering the story about
three ' servants who received
some money from their rich mas
ter with the provision that they
bring it back with interest, the
members of the congregation
each took a dollar and set out to
make it into more.
For weeks they crocheted pot
holders, raised vegetables and
did odd jobs to get the money.
Their efforts were rewarded by
converting the S300 into more
than $2,000 to pay Rev. David
J. Dean.
The new preacher's wife
chipped in by drawing the post
ers to advertise the products on
sale.

Church Leaders Discuss
Inter-Faith Marriages
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) Protestant
and Catholic church leaders are
concerned about the increasing
frequency with which members
of both faiths cross religious
lines in choosing their mates.
Inter-faith marriage, once com
paratively rare in America, are
becoming commonplace. The offi
cial Catholic directory, for ex
ample, reports that of 324,907
marriages performed last year
by Catholic priests, 84,720, or
more than one-fourth, involved
a non-Catholic partner. Many
other thousands of Catholic-Protestant
weddings are performed
by Protestant ministers or by
justices of the peace.
Clergymen who are troubled
by these statistics acknowledge
that many such "mixed mar
riages" work out fine. Few, if
any contend that a difference
of religion should be regarded
as an automatic and insurmount
able barrier to marriage for a
couple deeply in love.
But there is' a growing move
ment, in . both Protestant and
Catholic churches, to warn
young people before their af
fections are fixed that inter
faith marriages may. involve se
rious hazards.
These hazards, according to
clergymen, are of two kinds:

Share Christmas
Urged by President
Washington (U.R) President
Eisenhower Thursday night
urged Americans to share their
Christmas "abundance and hap
piness" with the Hungarian
people.
The President made the ap
peal to a nationwide radio and
television audience before light
ing the 67-foot national Christ
mas tree at ceremonies in the
ellipse south of the White House.
At the same time, Christmas
trees were lighted in cities and
towns across the nation and in
American embassies and mili
tary bases throughout the world,
Christmas wreaths in the cabins
of major American airline
planes flying over the continen
ent also were lighted simultane
ously. More than 7,500 people gath
ered in the park in the winter
dusk to watch the President
push the button that lighted the
great spruce tree and a double
row of 52 smaller Christmas
trees donated by foreign nations.
The ceremony officially
opened the holiday season for
the first family and the capital'.s
third annual peace pageant.
Annual Luncheon For
University Students
Planned for Dec. 28
The annual Christmas lunch
eon for university students
home on vacation will be held
at the First Presbyterian churcn
next Friday, Dec. 28, at twelve
noon in the church dining hall.
This luncheon has become a
traditional affair, and is used
by the students as an occasion
to renew old friendships from
high school days in the church.
The luncheon tables will be
decorated in the holiday theme,
and girls in the senior class at
high school will serve. Both Dr.
D. K. West and the Rev. John
Reynolds will bring a word of
greeting to the students.
Mrs. Dwight Findley is in
charge of the arrangements, and
will be assisted by Mrs. Kenneth
Denman, Mrs. Otto Frohnmayer,
Mrs. D. K. West, Mrs. George
Flanagan, and Mrs. Allen Smith.
Mr. and Mrs. Albert James are
the sponsors of the Geneva fel
lowship for post-high school age
young people of the church.
1. A mixed marriage is more
likely to end in divorce than one
in which the husband and wife
are of the same faith. Statistical
studies indicate that the divorce
and separation rate is about
three times higher in mixed mar
riages. 2. There is a strong tendency
in mixed marriages for ona or
both partners to drift away from
religion altogether and to quit
attending any church.
Religion Set Back
A study by the YMCA indi
cates that this tendency to re-
solve the religious tension of a'
mixed marriage by pushing faith
into the background also carries
over to the children of 'inter
faith unions. The study showed
that where both parents were
Catholic, 92 per cent of their
sons were also practicing Cath.
olics. Where both parents were
Protestants, 68 per cent of their
sons were practicing Protestants
But where one parent was Pro
testant and the other Catholic,
only 34 per cent of their sons
were active members of either
faith.
A survey by the Catholic Bish
ops' committee on mixed mar

New Year's Eve
In Russia Instead
By WHITMAN BASSOW
United Press Correspondent
Moscow (U.R) There are
still 14 shopping days till Christ
man in Moscow.
That is because Orthodox Rus
sians celebrate Christmas on
Jan. 7 according to a calendar
which is 13 days behind the
Gregorian calendar used in the
West.
But the fact is that most
Soviet citizens do not celebrate
Christmas at all. The Utg holiday
is New Year's eve and New
Year's day.
That is whena rotund, white
beaYded gentleman in a ilaming
red gown comes from the North
Pole in a sled puHed by rein
deer. He has a bagfui of pre:nts
for good little boys and girls.
For adults, he usually has a
bottle of vodka or Georgian
wine. o o
He isn't Santa Cteus. ifis
cheeks are not as red, his eyes
do not twinkle and when he
laughs it's not "like a ftol full
of jelly." But he is a dignifiec?
relative "Grandfather Frost."
He carries a staff.
A reasonable facsimile of
Christmas has already coWie to
Moscow. Big shops are bedecked
with strings of colored lights,
fir trees aijd mammoth card
board signs advertising holiday
specials. 0
Counters are laden with glass
and metal balls shaped like
castles, fruit teskets, animals
and nuts. They will adorn the
traditional "yelka" or fii tree.
This is a fairyland for any
child and any tree. The conc6n-j
tration of color Ss rare is this
wintry city. ,

A Christmas Incident
A story that came last year
from the little Long Island, N.Y.,
village of .Glen Cove is being
told in many churches this jear
as "rather typical of the good
will of Christmas everywhere in
America": A retired Episcopal
rector's Christmas tree, a 15-foet
spruce on the lawn of his new
home, was stolen.
Learning of the loss, a neigh
bor, a man of the Jewish faith,
ouicklv offered a 13-foot fir
from hi nwrp lawn irt ranlaM
the stolen tree. A nursery
owner, a Catholic, and three of
his men took care of th tree
moving and replaflting.
As the retired clergyman says,
"This is a wonderful example
of religious understanding." . . .
Comments the local newspaper:
And indeed it is. It is the type
of incident that point up the
spirit of the season for Christ
ians marking thl Christmas holi
day; for Jews observing (Chanu-
kah, or Feast oi the Lights."0
