Symbols at Much of man's life is Words, for one thing, are symbols symbols of thoughts and things r i ii 1 woras are noining oui noise, or squiggies on paper, until they are given symbolic meaning. Then they stand for something but they are not. themselves, that something. Each religion is full of symbols the Cross: the Star of David, the Crescent. Some customs are hands is an ancient one, originating m a gesture showing one is unarmed. Tipping the hat is anoth er, denving from the knight's pushing up his visor to snow nis lace tentions and respect. A CHRISTMAS tree If a man chooses to mas tree in his house, admonition against setting up "trees" as idols, that's his business. But it cannot take away from, others the warmth and satisfaction of using the beloved symbol of a family Christmas. We fail to see how a Christmas tree, even as a symbol of pagan customs, can in any way harm Christmas, or even detract from the es sentially religious nature THE ancients believed that trees were symbols 1 of eternal life, and worship them as such. It was such idolatry the Bible warned against. w ,1 J. - J 2.- jjater. me custom Christian celebrations, when homes and churches were decorated with evergreens, as a reminder of Christ's Godliness, and that the Child born at Bethlehem was both God spring up like a tender plant, should always be preen and flourishintr and live forever more." The hollv. also a symbol of Christmas, with its green and red, its sharp ries, is a symbol of joy gave it mysterious powers 01 good iuck, protection from witches, and protection from bad weather. The use of mistletoe at Christmas also dates far back in human history;, for it was a sacred plant to many early tribes in what are now Eng land and Scandinavia. One legend was that the mistletoe was so sacred that if two enemies met beneath the mistletoe in the forest, they laid down their arms- and maintained a truce until the next day. THAT is why families hang mistletoe in door ways. Passing beneath implies a pledge of peace and f nendship, and greeting or Kiss. T.iVhted candles are bol which dates back to nf Christ. Pagans used them to the sun, and they were runners of today's lighted electric duids.j Christian use of the candle, symbolic of Christ as the light of the combination of Koman and tfebrew customs. The use of a Christmas tree, as such, is at tributed to Martin Luther, reason to believe that used it even before that ZITHER cultures have other symbols. In 'Latin countries, the pinata (a clay or paper bowl or figurine, filled with candy, which is broken with sticks, thus scattering the candy amongst the eager youngsters; is -a unnstmas svmhnl. In Nprway, children on poles or spruce trees for tne Dims tneir own Christmas trees. Tn the Low Countries, children use wooden shoes (instead of stockings) for the expected largess of St. Nicholas, the forerunner of our "Santa Claus." Santa himself is a symbol a symbol of love and affection and generosity at Christmas time. e e I S IT bad, is it wrong, to allow the universal human habit of investiner objects with sym bolism to add to the traditions of a celebration? Wp see no harm. We see a crreat deal of good. The fact that Christmas, as a celebration of the birth of the Christian Saviour, is observed at the same time as were the old pagan celebra tions of the Winter Solstice, when the sun again begins its slow movement into the northern skies, is no sacrilege at all, but the affirmation of uni versal human experience, dating from far back in the misty origins of human worship. E.A. Religious "Controversy makes headlines. Conciliation doesn't" ' That was the lead of a recent story by the UPI's Louis Cassels, a talented writer who deals with religion in the world today. His story listed evidence that, despite doc trinal and dogmatic differences, many of which wind up as neadlines, the Protestant-Catholic schism is narrower today than it has been in many years "for centuries," Cassels reports. e e MUCH of this "thaw" has resulted from the . ;iew image of Catholicism projected by Pope John XXHI, the story indicated. But we think it is also true that people gen erally, with the obvious exceptions, are more tol erant of other creeds that once was the case, and a little quicker to realize that a man's reli gious beliefs are personal, and, both as a mat ter. f constitutional rights, and as a matter of common sense, have no bearing on his worth as a citizen or as a friend.

This is more than a justifi cation for private firearm ownership, but a civil duty and inalienable right, ' From our Holy Bible, Luke 22:36: "He that hath no sword let him sell bis garment and buy one." "Private ownership of guns causing increasing problems. says article in Dee. 18 Mail Tribune. Guns are in the hands of young hoodlums who also have home-made zip guns made by themselves in their school shops. They also have unregistered bicycle chains, ball bats, and ice picks. Criminals have made guns in prison. But of course they always registered them! Those they stole from the police and National Guard were already registered. American servicemen whose duty it was to risk their lives with guns, smug' gled home 50,000 of the wea pons they had faced on one troop ship. Smuggled? That's what the article said. Our nation's ring of anti missile missiles, super bombs and bombers have made us forget the day of infamy 18 years ago, and the Nazi bund who marched in Madison Square Garden carrying Nazi flags in huge rallies during the 1930's. At a police-sponsored gun registration bill hearing m Los Angeles, the principal speaker was the secretary of the Communist party. The bill died then and there. A subversive element in side our country could hurt us seriously if the x citizens were unarmed or the subver sives knew who had the guns. Guns cause accidents. Let's look, at the 1953 accidental death rate figures supplied by the National Safety Coun cil Feb. 26, 1954: autos; 38,- 300; burns: 6,400; poison, 16,- 000; drowning: 6,800; occupa tional: 15,000, and guns 2,450. Existing federal and state firearms control laws are suf ficient. We need more severe penalties for those who com mit crimes while armed and broad firearms safety train ing. Guns don't kill people. Peo ple kill people. William N. Redhead 2449 Obispo dr., Medford. A Joyful Christmas To the Editor: Regarding Christmas trees and idols, cer tain scripture references in Isaiah, Jeremiah, Exodus and others bear on the Canaanitish practice of carving wooden images. Then the images were overlaid with silver, gold or brass and set up as idols to be worshiped. They were kept in shrines, houses, temples or groves for years, sometimes for generations and worshiped as gods. V- These scriptures have no reference whatever to Christ mas trees, decorated to delight children and bear gifts for family or friends-.After a few days they are stripped ot tneir beauties and thrown out on the brush pile to be burned. It would be a rare instance, indeed, for the tree to become an object of worship. As to Christmas day and the birth of Jesus, we have no data as to His niital day. Ref erences to shepherds abiding in the fields at night indicate a warm season, certainly not midwinter. Early Christians celebrated name and address of the writer. tha case. the death of martyrs, not their birth. Northern Europe cele brated, by yule log burning, the winter solstice, when the sun apparently reached the southern end of its journey and started north again. When Christianity spread over Eu rope, gradually this celebra tion was adopted as Christmas, since there was no definite data as to that day. God is a soirit. It is the spirit that counts, not the tech. nicality. If we misquote or misuse the Bible to support a personal- view point, are we more Christian than when we decorate a Christmas tree? We wish you a joyful Christmas and a good New Year with plenty of turkey and cranberry sauce, unspray. ed and delatinized. L. G. Weaver 301 Haven st. Medford . Police Commended To the Editor: I wish to ex press my gratitude to the Medford city police for their fine job of directing and keep ing traffic under control, on the corner of Tenth and Front sts. on Dec. 17. My truck frame broke in carrying a load. Their assistance was greatly appreciated. . Ted M. Adams 2495 West Main st. Medford Highway Safety To the Editor: A recent let ter to you signed L. H. Guy has stirred me to put in my two cents' worth. Every day we read about cars skidding out of control on wet roads, collisions, peo ple being killed or . injured. Of course there is a reason for these accidents. Last year the head of the Oregon State Police announced that "Ore gon drivers must adjust to winter driving conditions." That sounds reasonable, but I wonder if the responsibility for the majority of these ac cidents lies with the driver alone or could it be that the Oregon State Highway de partment is at fault-. The western half of our state is noted for its mild cli mate and for the great num ber of wet days per year, yet Highway 99 is constructed of materials known to be the worst type for visibility and nonskid qualities when wet. Our highway department will tell us that cost is the big item in building roads and that asphalt is much cheaper to construct than is the new mod ern non-skid type of road. This is very true if you consider first cost only, but any bus iness man knows that the product with the lowest over all cost is much more econom ical in the long run. It hasi been established that a new modern type concrete high way costs more to build .but the higher first cost is offset by the extremely low mainte nance costs. The modern new concrete highways have been tested over several years and many thousands of miles in al most every state and have proved to be almost mainte nance-free for as high as ten years, and even after that, re pair costs are way below that of asphalt which requires re pair crews to work on it at one end while still under con struction at the other. Witness the much touted "Death Trap" Baldock freeway. The cost figures quoted by highway planners do not in clude higher insurance costs, uninsured damage costs, medi cal costs, and certainly not the tragic cost in pain, physical in jury and death brought about by unnecessarily slick and dangerous roads. Even though we cannot af ford the best and ultimately cheapest type of highways the ones we have can be made Tired Old Lyle Wilson Calls for Firm Stand Against' Christmas Card Slavery By LYLE C. WILSON Washington -fflPD- It beats me why someone has . not come up long before this with a new. Eman cipation Proc- almation. 1 1 should be - a proclamation to emancipate the American people from "their slavery to Christmas cards. Lyie c. wusea I realize that many persons will con sider this to be a subversive thought. ' Some of my neigh bors will caution their child ren to come indoors when I pass by. Little old ladies who heretofore have given me a friendly nod when I see them on the street, likely will Ig nore me when ,we meet. My good friends who have favored me this year as in the past with the season's greetings will think of me as an ungracious grouser who should have both better man ners and some gratitude. I am sorry if that is the way it must be. If so, so be it. "The Christmas card must go. Compared to a Christmas card, the exaggerated tail fins on my new car are useful and necessary contraptions. One tenth of the money and ener gy squandered each year on Christmas cards would suf fice to create for the United States missile and rocket pro tection unsurpassed. Pity The Postman Talk about watse! The stamp bill alone would buy a fleet of nuclear submarines. For printing much more is spent than for stamps. More over, the patient postmen are hump-backed from lugging those great sacks full of cards and they suffer fallen arch es, corns and bunions by rea son of the extra mileage our Christmas whimsey imposes upon them. And, there are among some individuals (your correspon dent is one) who shucked most of the shackles of Christ mas cardery long since, but who regularly receive cards in shoals and avalanches. This causes these free souls much anguish in the region of their consciences. They know in sadness that among their loving friends are some with the lint-picking habit of card indexing the whole Christmas business so that during the days immediately following Dec. 25 there occur in living rooms across the land such scenes as this: . ; The Little Woman: Oh, Fred, we got cards today from the Goosens and the Whooz its and the Zumphs. The Zumphs' is real pretty. Fred: Yeah, they musta mailed 'em after they got ours. The L W: Look in the in T for In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS As this is written, the body of' 117-year-old Walter Wil liams lies in state in the ro tunda of the county court house in Houston, Texas. Hun dreds of people are filing past. It will remain there1 until Wednesday of this week, when funeral services will be held in Houston. Burial will be at Franklin, Texas, where he lived for many years, was Walter Williams? h i n k everyone who reads or listens to the news knows. He was the last veter an of the Civil War - or, if hereditarily you prefer it that way, the War Between the States. A FTER the lapse of nearly a century, let's put it this way: Walter Williams was the LAST REMNANT OF A TRAGIC MISTAKE. The Civil War shouldn't have happened. It wouldn't have happened if there had been fewer hot heads and more wise and tolerant people on both sides. It was hotheads who led the attack on the arsenal at Harp er's Ferry. It; was hotheads who ordered the firing on Fort Sumter. A SOBERING thought: We are living again in ticklish times. There is the cold war which could flame much safer by the simple ap plication of a non-skid surface of crushed rock such as we have on the mountain passes. These roads are more nonskid with a thin layer of ice than the valley roads are when wet. Think! Then for economy in money, injury and death, write your Governor, your congressman, and demand action. E. B- Van Horn 605 Franquette St. Medford dex, Fred, and see if the Whoozits sent us one last year. Bet they didn't. Women Are to Blame Fred: Nope, nor the year before, either. I'll take 'em off our list.; The L W: No, leave 'em on, but let's send a real cheap card next year and mail it a couple of days after Christmas. Nehru Seen as Confused and Bitter Facing Red Dilemma By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Editor The infuential Times ot India not long ago thumb- nailed Prime Minister Jawa- harlal Nehru this way: "At one time he had a s o 1 u tion to every diffi- 'Zn culty; today ne races a au- ficulty in ev ery solution.1 it was an Phil Nawsess Dt deseriri- tion of Nehru, who in 1954 signed the five principles of peaceful co-existence with Red China and today finds mmseii embroiled in a bor der dispute with Red China piling upon -him woes deep er than the Himalayan snows, In recent days these have been Nehru statements of position: In a letter replying to Red Chinese Premier Chou En- lai's proposal that they meet Dec. 26 to negotiate either in China or Rangoon, Burma: "I find it quite impossible to go to Rangoon or any other place within the next few days." Negotiate, Negotiate In Parliament: "We will negotiate and negotiate and negotiate to the bitter end, On a CBS television broad cast: "I - don't think, however strong China may be, it will succeed in conquering India.' For centuries the Chinese have regarded themselves as a super race, an opinion "more Chinese than Commu nist." Together they help to cre ate the picture of a confused and harried man caught in the web of his own neutral ism,, facing a problem for which he himself sees no solution, and lending addi tional force to the further comment by the Times of In dia: - "As the years rolled by the very foundation on which Nehru's prestige and reputa tion rested began to wear him down. Nehru has run head-on into a cynicism for which his philosophy leaves him ill-pre pared, into HOT WAR if wrong de- cisions, resulting in hasty ac tions, were made. There is in flation, which could bankrupt us all if permitted to get out of control. These things stir fears of the future. They could result in trouble if wrong decisions are made. VlfHAT is our great need? For an answer, I think we can turn to Josiah Gilbert Holland, who lived and wrote about a century ago. In his poem "The Day's Demand" he says: . "God give us men! A time like this demands "Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands ... "Tall men, sun - crowned, who live above thevibg "In public duty and in pri vate thinking." THAT is still the day's de mand. Last Civil War Veteran Buried Houston, Tex.-(UPD - Today marks the end of an era with the burial of Walter (Old Reb) Williams, 117, the last veteran of the Civil War. The blue and the gray stood shoulder to shoulder Tuesday night at memorial services honoring the old rebel who fought with the Texas Bri gade at the age of 22. A fife and drum corps from Mount Vernon, Ohio, played "Dixie", "Johnny Reb" and the "Battle Hymn of the Re public" during the service. Hundreds of persons were on hand to pay homage to the honorary Civil War general including representatives of President Eisenhower and each of the 11 states that formed the Confederacy. IS Fred: (Readine soorts page) Yump, awright. It is the women, of course, who keep the Christmas card business going, wailing be fore, during and after the pro cess of selecting and address ing their offerings that it is an infernal chore. Christmas cards have be come an. oppressive burden. In the apartment -building in It was this same sort of Communist cynicism which once led the late Josef Stal in to reply to a warning about the world influence of the Roman Catholic Pope: "How many divisions has the Pope?" So as Chou En-lai reads Nehru's statements and sees him take a firm stand on both sides of the fence, ht also may inquire: "How many divisions has Nehru?" Few Against Many Nehru himself has admit ted he does not have enough perhaps 300,000 men against five million. Before his own Parliament Nehru is committed to de fend India's borders, but his defense must be to "negotiate Editorial Comment THE DOORS MUST BE OPEN TO ALL Many Democrats have been saying that Robert Duncan will be the Democrats' answer to Mark Hatfield. Mr. Dun can, a Medford attorney, was speaker of the House of Rep resentatives in the Oregon Legislature this year and came out of the legislative session with a high rating by members of both parties. He is young, aggressive and in telligent. At a Douglas County con vention of Democrats this month Mr. Duncan told the Democrats they couldn't af ford the luxury of a party purge. Instead of driving peo ple out of the party, Demo crats should be trying to get more in, he said. On this the Eugene Register-Guard has this editorial comment: "Mr. Duncan understands the nature of an American political party. He agrees with former Vice President Garner that a party must be "a party of all sorts of views." There is wide latitude in the Demo cratic Party for Morse of Ore gon, for- Lausche of Ohio and for Eastland of Mississippi. Republicans must make room for Goldwater of Arizona, Hat field of Oregon and all those in between. "Neither party in the American system can afford .the luxury, of becoming doc trinaire, mat s possible in a European system with a dozen or more parties. But it can't work where there are only two. There are more than two sides to most questions and there are many questions. Two parties can accommodate the majority of Americans only if considerable latitude is permitted each member. "Moreover, the direct pri mary, recall, the initative and referendum and the ease of registration makes it almost impossible to impose real party discipline. A . political party is not a select lodge. Membership must be easily acquired and easily shed." There are many persons who take their politics straight who would like to put all the conservatives in one party and all the liberals in another. They are Republicans who are "sick and tired" of the Re publican party talking like the Democratic party. They have our sympathy. It would be much easier for many vot ers if a clear and clean dis tinction could be made be tween the parties. But it isn't going to happen and it would n't be- good if it did happen. It's much better that party doors be open to all comers. -Pendleton East Qregoaian. May the joyful spirit of Christmas light the way to many years of health and happiness for you and your loved ones.

For, once more in his own words, he knows that China never in history has recog nized any loss of territory, surrendering it perhaps in periods of weakness but al ways . regarding the loss as strictly temporary. In his reply to Chou En-lai, Nehru "regretted" that the Red position still was based on invasion of traditional In dian territory. But against him is the cold ly logical Chou En-lai who pointed out that the Chinese built a road and for nearly 10 years controlled such ter ritory without Nehru even being aware of it. PRESIDENT AGAINST TEST OATH Now that President Eisen hower has flatly stated his disapproval of the anti-Communist affidavit required of students seeking federal loans, Congress w h e n it re convenes should strike down this obnoxious test oath. The President objects to it for the same reason that a number of schools, including Harvard and Yale, have refused this aid to their students. At his press conference on Wednes day the President said: "I personally a m ready each morning to take an oath that I am not a Communist and that I am loyal to the United States. I think, how ever, that when we begin to single out any group of citi zens and say, . This is a mat ter of legal compulsion,' I, can see why they are resentful." That is the big point. To re quire this oath of college students and not of citizens in general Is to single out the students and to imply that their loyalty is questionable. That is a gratuitous insult, and a serious one. This was recognized by Congress when in adopting new labor legisla tion last summer, it repealed the Taft-Hartley statute's re quirement of an ihti-Com-munist oath by union offi cials. The oath amendment was slipped into the education act almost by sleight of hand. Yet when Senator Kennedy sought its removal, too many Senators lacked the courage to vote for its repeal. The Kennedy bill was maneuvered back to committee by a vote of 49 to 42. The test oath is no protec tion for the nation. But it is a gratuitous offense. Since the indignity is resented, it frus- trates the very purpose of the r education act, the training of I specialists essential to the na tional defense. It should be ' wiped out. - St. Louis Post- i Dispatch.
