Gift Packaging in Useful Kitchen Wares Many thoughtful givers of home - made goodies like to package them in attractive, practical containers that can be used long after the con tents are eaten. For packaging candies, cookies, breads, fruit cakes, plum puddings, here are some suggestions. Consider packaging in apo thecary jars, refrigerator dishes, vegetable crispers, bak ing dishes, pitchers and mugs, salad bowls, serving trays, colanders, casseroles, mixing bowls, ice cube trays, bread boards, muffin tins, pudding molds, cake pans, custard BY LOUIS CASSELS UPI Correspondent The bishops of the Episcopal Church have taken a man- sized swing at the toughest moral problem confronting Christians today. Tlie problem is defining an attitude toward modern war which is consistent both with the teachings of Christ and with the realities of the world situation. Its difficulty is attested by the large number of people who have despaired of satis fy i n g both requirements. Some have retreated from realism by espousing unilater al disarmament. Others have retreated f ro m Christian teaching by condoning a pol icy of massive retaliation. Meeting in Columbia, S. C, last month, at a lime when the United Slates seemed peril ously close to war over Cuba, the Episcopal bishops insisted on facing both horns of the dilemma. The result was a down-to-earth statement outlining the principles which the church musl uphold in approaching nuclear war on the basis of "Christian realism." Deserves Wider Attention The bishops' statement re ceived relatively little news coverage at the time it was issued, because the papers were full of the Cuban crisis. Now that things have quieted down a bit, it deserves wider attention, not only from Episcopalians, to whom it was directed, but from all Ameri cans who want their country to preserve its freedoms with out forfeiting its soul. Rejecting the pacifist argu-. ment thai il is sinful even to possess nuclear weapons, the bishops said forthrightly that "the United States must re main strong militarily" as long as the threat of aggres sion hangs over the world. "The church recognizes," they said, "that a strong mili tary posture does scrv as a deterrent to an aggressor na tion intent upon military con flict." They also acknowledged the necessity of having the United Stales keep "abreast of all developments in war fare" - even if that requires building and stockpiling some very ghastly types of weap ons. But they drew a sharp moral distinction between having H-bombs and actually using them against Russian or Chinese cities. Total war with modern weapons, they said, cannot be condoned by the Christian conscience under any circum stances, and "eveiy possible moral force must be summon ed to prevent its occurrence." Draw Four Conclusions "It is increasingly evident that all-out modern war can not protect the world's peo ple?, that an atomic holocaust cannot serve the purpose that war may once have served as an instrument of political or police action to secure jus tice and peace.'1 From this basic premise, the bishops drew four specific conclusions: 1. The whole concept of massive retaliation "marked by obliteration bombing of large areas and masses of and i byi people" is unchristian should be "repudiated' the United States. 2. Christians must every influence to insure that any war which breaks oul anywhere in the world is limited." 3. "In any armed conflict, we must set clearly defined objectives and cease to wage war when they are achieved." 4. "When world disirma- Douglas Gripp Takes New Post San Francisco - HW - Doug las A.

Although they accepted lim ited war as a possible instru ment of national policy - and did so at an hour when the issue was far from theoretical - the Episcopal bishops stress ed the obligation of Chris tian individuals and nations to preserve peace by every honorable means avalable. War Always Evil War, they made clear, how ever limited in scope and however just In motive, is al ways an evil which Chris tians must try desperately to prevent, and to which they may rc?ort only when there is sound hope of thereby avoid ing an even greater evil.
