The Russian high command
did not say where the nnzis suf
fered this huge loss ot panzers.
The Germans, however, reported
that a mighty force of winter
hardened Russian troops was on
the move in snow-swept Latvia
where an estimated 30 nazi divi
sions are pocketed against the
Baltic.
Panier Battle
Further official reports of
these huge tank losses would
mean that a terrific panzer bat
tle is going on somewhere and
the sector is not likely to be Slo
vakia, for it is a mountainous
country not suited for tank oper
ations. There was a likelihood that
large-scale fighting was taking
place in the five mile wide strip

CHRISTMAS
By EARL WHITLOCK
Another Christmas comes, in
which the Prince of Peace looks
down on the
world and sees
it at war with
the dread Four
Horsemen dom
i n a t i n g man
kind. Yet He
must rejoice at
the gradually
increasing cer
tainty that those
forces which
represent the
principles which he taught
righteousness and justice and
fairness and mercy, will con
quer their enemies.
Today it might be well for
us to turn from our own enjoy
ment of the holidays and think
of those kids out there in the
fox holes and in fighter planes
and in the holds of great ships
those kids fighting for us.
Know what they want? They
want our all-out help in the
war's winning. We cannot carry
guns or drive planes or sail
ships." But we can get into the
fight and fight effectively. By
giving to Red Cross money or
blood. By buying more and
more war bonds. By working
just a little harder.
And, by doing that it is pos
sible that we might contribute
just that needed added spur to
the war effort which would
bring complete victory by next
Christmas.
Next Saturday Mr. Whitlock
of the Earl Whitlock Funeral
Home will comment on New
Years.

Ten per cent of the marines

they might spend the day at

Wednesday was the biggest

local post exchange, and the
shelves were nearly cleaned out
by last-minute Christmas-shopping

sets, boxes of cigars, blankets.
and candy. It was pay day, and
the free-handed marines were
buying everything in sight for
Christmas presents.
Packages Wrappod
Over 1000 packages were
wrapped Wednesday by mem
bers of the Officers' Wives club
in the post exchange.
The postoffice has had a busy
time handling Christmas mail.
The marines sent out 298 mail
sacks of packages in 11 days,
and have received 174 sacks in
the same length of time. Forty
eight bags of first-class matter
letters and cards were sent out
in the 11 days, with 42 sacks
coming in.
For several days after Christ
mas the postoffice expects to
handle about as large a volume
of mail as before the holidays.
Cigarette Shortage
Currently the post exchange is
facing a cigarette shortage,
though it's nothing to worry
about. Stocks are running low
because of heavy Christmas buy
ing and the fact that a supply
has been set aside to give every
person eating at the mess hall
Monday noon a pack.
Packages and gifts for the pa
tients at the hospital, donated by
many individuals and groups in
Klamath Falls and vicinity, have
been pouring in all week, and
were given out Saturday morn
ing. Saturday nieht. a chorus nf

Hostesses distributed fruit and
candy to the dispensary's 70 bed
patients. The Dost Red Cross of.

"GIVE US THIS DAY
TTlHE universal prayer of Christians begins
with these simple, humble words: "Give us this day our
daily bread ..."
Not a word may be changed or the sanctity of the
meaning is lost. "Give" is the asking of Divine help.
"Us" means all of us, not just "me". "This day" implies
the need for daily asking, "Today" means today's neces
sary food. "Bread" means the staff of life itself.
Without the bounteous gift of bread, the threads of
our frail life would be quickly cut. Without the daily
gift of bread the health of muscle nnd nerve would give
way and starvation would come to the world.
Bread is the symbol of culture, the touchstone of civili
zation, the finger post of hope, the staff of life, the well
of charity.
Bread is the balm of labor, strength-giver of the people.
Bread of old Egypt, Palestine and Sparta; bread of
America, England and Russia . . . Bread has built na
tions, ancient and modem, lack of it has rotted the fibers
of vision, peopled the slums and pauperized nations.
Bread is the food of savants nnd saints from the be

OUR DAILY BREAD"
of philosophers and sages, of women and men, from timi
immemorial.
Bread is not modern, it's as old as the ages ... one of
the first products of thinking and doing. It started men
upward, and outward and onward.
The history of the world is a chronicle of starvation',
its brilliant pages are those filled with bread.
When mammoth ovens are built the world over, and
golden bread pours forth in endless flow, man's humble
soul will rise to its zenith, and Utopia spread its sublime
embrace over all nations, all races, all classes.
Bread digs the coal, bread turns the wheels, bread plies
the instruments of peace and contentment; bread tones
the muscles, feeds the nerves, builds the bones . . . mskei
everything possible if it's good bread and plenty.
Victory means airplanes, battleships and tanks, rifles
and bullets, strategy and courage; but let's not forget
that the real sinews of war are wrought by bread that
builds muscle and brawn . . . bread shortens the war and
lengthens the peace, , . ,,
If any man doubts tlie truth of this story, then he d
better get ready to be slvot as a patriot or shackled a lUve.
