Advent is, Opportunity
To Prepare for Yuletide
Br LOUIS CASSELS
United Press International
Churches took note Sunday
of a fact that department
stores have been proclaiming
for several weeks.
Christmas is coming.
Sunday marked the begin
ning of the Advent season
The name comes from the
Latin word "adventus" which
means "coming." On the an
cient liturgical calendar
which divides the year into
appropriate season of ,wor
ship, Advent is a four-week
period of preparation for the
coming of Christ that is cele
brated at Christmas.
Many Protestant churches
which formerly paid scant
heed to the liturgical calen
dar have in recent years
joined the Catholics, Episco
palians and Lutherans in em'
phasizing the observance of
Advent. The reason is ob
vious.
Advent offers the best op
portunity the churches have
to resist the commercializa
tion of Christmas. Instead of
waiting until the last minute
on Christmas Eve, to intro
duce the Christ child as a sort
of afterthought of the holiday
season, churches begin four
weeks in advance to point up
the religious origin of the joy
and expectation expressed in
Christmas customs.
This year, many of the ma
jor denominations are stress
ing that Advent can be oo-
served at home as well as in
church. Through their Sunday
schools and church publica
tions, they are suggesting spe
cific ways in which individual
families can keep the real
meaning of Christmas from
. . . . a 1
being lost in tne necuc rouna
Of gift - buying, card - sending,
Cake -baking and tree -trim
ming that gets under way as
soon as the Thanksgiving
dishes are wiped.
One suggestion is to use
Advent wreaths as a vehicle
for simple family worship
services. This is a very old
custom which fell Into neg
lect, and which Is now being
rediscovered. The only re
quirements are that it be
homemade, and that it con
tain five candles. It may be
used as a centerpiece for the
dining table.
Each night during Advent,
when the family sits down for
dinner, a tandlelighting cere
mony is held. During the first
week of Advent, one candle
is lit and the rest remain dark.
The second week, two candles
are lit, and so on. The fifth
candle, usually larger than
the rest and in the center of
the wreath, is lit on Christmas
Eve.
The religious training im
parted by the ceremony de
pends on what goes with the
candlelighting. Reading from
the Bible, formal or informal
Librarians Plan
For Program on
Christmas poetry will be
read at a meeting of Jack
son County Association of
School Librarians to be held
Tuesday, December 2, at Phoe
nix High school at 4 p.m.
Each person attending is
asked to take a short selection
of Christmas poetry.
" Mrs. Mabel Sims will be
hostess.
Charge
prayers, singing Christmas
carols, asking one of the chil
dren to memorize and recite
a Christmas poem-any or all
of these may provide material
for family devotions. The im
portant thing is that the fam
ily pauses for a few moments
to think together about what
the coming of Christmas
means.
Any family that gets stuck
for appropriate Bible passages
or prayers can get, help from
its pastor, or may buy a little
book of family devotions from
a religious 'bookstore. The
American Bible society pub
lishes a list of scriptural read
ings for the pre-Christmas sea
son. This list is usually avail
able through local churches

Wine Snobs
New York -(UPD- "Wine
snobs" and restaurateurs come
in for a raking over the coals
in "The Commonsense Book of
Wine," written by Leon D.
Adams and published today
by (David McKay Co., Inc.)
Adams, a writer from Sau
salito, Calif., for years was
secretary of the Wine Institute
in San Francisco. He teed off
against American hotels and
restaurants for what he al
leged to be "extortion" in the
prices they charge for wine
with - meals, "bungling in
letting vintages spoil in their
storerooms; and clumsy, inef
ficient wine service.
He charged that eating es
tablishments In New York and
other cities mark up their
prices as much as 800 per cent
on cheap foreign wines and,
"hesitating to try extorting
more than 400 per cent on the
American vintages" with
whose prices patrons are more
familiar, often refuse to stock
the native product.
The average "candle-lit New
York restaurant" pays be
tween 60 cents and SI for
some of the cheaper French
and Italian wines and "cred
ulous customers are being
charged from $4 to $5 for the
very same bottles," Adams
said.
The Californian described
his book as "a new effort to
un-scramble tne wme crazy-
quilt an attempt to simplify
a subject still entangled by
taboos, stilted notions of cor
rectness, and a foggy maze of
perplexing labels and general
misinformation.
Adams claimed that "by
and large, American wines are
now better and more reliable
than wines of the Old World."
"Drink the wine not the la
bel," he said.

Women Fail
Ministry as a
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York (UPD Women
have cracked the prejudice
barriers in engineering, medi
cine and law. They have been
accepted- as plumbers, bus
drivers andU. S. senators,
bank presidents, brokers and
paper hangers. But there is
one major field they can not
seem to conquer th min
istry.
In the course of 2,000 years,
women have managed to chip
away at some of the preju
dices against them in the pul
pit, but they still have a long
way to go to be accepted as
preachers to the degree they
are encouraged to stand over
hot stoves preparing church
suppers.
The National Council" of
Churches reports in its 1958
yearbook that there are few
er than 7,000 women- minis
ters in the United States, out
of a total 168.419 clergymen.
Of these, 5,791 women are
ordained or licensed. Only
2,896 actually have pulpits -
and these are mainly in small
towns.
Several Circuit Riders
There are several women
circuit riders. They travel
from church to church. One
drives a station wagon on her
circuit. Another paddles a
rowboat from island to island
off the coast of Maine." Still
another jogs through the
northwoods of Michigan' on
horseback. .
But the closest a woman
minister has come to official
status in a big New York City
church is to marry the pastor
and serve as his assistant on a
strictly non - preaching basis.
She is Mrs. Donald Harring
ton, wife of the minister of
the Community Church, i n
midtown Manhattan.
The Rev. Ellen B. Shaw, of
Mazomanie, Wis., president of
the American Association of
Women Ministers, says there
is a need for more ministers
and that women can fill this
need very well.
"So why should they not
be used more than they are?"
she asked. "Every person has
their place to fill in life,
whether male or female, and
women can fill the ministry
efficiently. Therefore, she
should be used more than she
is." " .
Prejudice Decreasing
She added that;th preju
dice against women ministers
is decreasing, however, more
in some parts of the country
than in others.
"I think that perhaps in the
field of counseling, women
have an usual function, she
told United Press Interna
tional. "It is an increasingly im
portant part of the ministry.
Perhapss it is because it is
easier for people to tell their

Mrs. Shaw has been li
censed to preach since 1939,
but did not have a church of
her own until 1942. She has
been preaching every Sunday
since that time, and her hus
band also is a preacher. They
trade pulpits every Sunday.

I- -si -. - A
University. Women's Co-op
Housing Said
Eugene-Women's co-ops at
the University of Oregon are
the "best buy" on the campus,
according to members of the
three houses.
The girls who live in High
land, University, and Rebec,
three women's co-ops, list fi
nancial savings, social life
and a strong feeling of unity
as their reasons for believing
that co-op living is the best
buy.
Room and board is $45 per
month fall term and $40 a
month spring and winter
terms" explained Miss Donna
Horn, a senior from Spring
field who's treasurer of the
Co-Ed Housing Board and
president of University
House. This compares with
living in the cheapest dorm
on the campus which is $76.50
a month.
The stronger feeling of
unity which the girls claim
results from living in a co-op
makes for stronger loyalty,
more cooperation, closer
friends and harmony. "Living
in the house is informal and
personal, making the co-ops
more than just a place to eat
and sleep. It becomes a real
home away from home," said
Miss Annelle Davenport of
Sweet Home, membership
cnairman of the eight-studenl
governing board for the three
houses.
Add up fun, facts and fig
ures, and its easy to see why
there were more applicants
for membership than the
three houses could possibly
take care of this term. More
than 22 girls were turned
down, not because they were
not qualified, but because
housing space did not permit
more membership. As it is,
Highland has four over com
fortable capacity and Univer
sity is One over. This means
that Co-Ed Housing, Inc., the
three houses from a legally
incorporated business activ
ity, is seeking a fourth house.
Two of the houses rent from
the university and Rebec was
donated to the co-op by the
late George Rebec, former
law school president.
Based On Need
Admittance is not limited
by race, creed, or color. Ad
mittance is based primarily
on financial need and the
girl's purpose in coming to
college. Character, scholastic,
and moral standing are also
considered.
and all produce will be down
in price, he said.
. Mrs. Van Gordon reported
the North Pacific Grange
hall burned and was a total
loss.

Best Buy
Last fall term the three co
ops were among the top 15
living organizations in grade
point averages and Rebec had
the third highest. The co-ops
have their share of members
in honoraries, sports events,
and all campus fetes as well as
student offices.
Each house has its own con
stitution privileges, customs
and social functions. Meetings
are held each week and its a
one vote policy. Co-Ed hous
ing has an overall governing
constitution and controls such
activities as the all co-op
dance.
The co-op board which
meets bi-monthly consists of
the eight student members,
two alumni advisors, two fac
ulty advisors and the dean of
women, Mrs. Golda P. Wick
ham. In order to conduct busi
ness efficiently, the board
hires a bookkeeper and a buy
er who incidentally, not only
purchase all the food used
in the three houses, but also
makes the menus and attends
to repair.
The girls do much of the
work themselves. Seniors
average 3V4 hours per week,
from there each class adds an
other half hour. Duties from
salad preparation to serving
are outlined for the girls.
Cooks are hired to handle the
basic food preparation. '
Social events are part of
co-op living, and the girls en
joy contests and parties in
much the same manner that
the sorority members do.' At
Highland House recently, a
hula hoop contest provided
entertainment for the mem
bers. "Co-ops are fun" the
girls say and no one disputes
that.
