Edith Green, D-Ore., Tuesday introduced a bill which would tighten restrictions on the mail order sale of firearms. The measure would prohibit sales to persons under 18 years of age, raise dealers' license fees and require an affidavit that the buyer has not been con victed of a felony. Mrs. Green said she intro duced the bill because of the assassination of President Ken nedy. FOR i 1 WE - , AT-, uc. wiin so mucn ... ar 4i The Biblical name Zacharioh Just what Thanksgiving means?

V e t when was it. exactly? Saint .Matthew teils us Jesus was born when Herod was King of Judea. Scholars have estab lished Herod reigned from 37 B.C. until his death in 4 B.C. .Matthew also relates the story of Herod's plan to kill the In fant King and remove any Uireat to the pagan throne. Each ear the story is repeat ed in Sunday Schools tlirough out the Christian world: How Herod sent the Three W i s e Men in search of the Child . . . how the Wise Men were warned in a dream tltat Herod was up to no good . . . how .Mary and Joseph received a similar warning and fled to Egypt with their Child . . . how Herod tried desperately to eliminate Jesus by ordering the slaughter of all male children in and around Bethlehem. In the words of Saint Matth ew, Herod called for the death of all boys "from 2 years old and under, according to the time which lie liad diligently in quired of the Wise Men." According to this passage, the Wise Men told Herod they had first seen the Star of Bethle hem two years before the ty rant had ordered the "slaugh ter of the innocents." Since we know Herod died in 4 B.C., Je sus must have been born at least two years earlier. We say Jesus was born B.C. Before be very much a part of the background. A bit more difficult to shoot is an aircraft carrier knifing through tlie water with planes flying overhead. After putting your model ship together, fashion a "sea" out of aluminum foil.

TU 2-4481 Hope To the Christian Era because of calendar changes in the Sixth Century. -Many scholars believe they can get a better idea of the time of Nativity by learning more alnnit the star of Bethle hem and the Wise Men. Today we know that funda mental mathematical laws gov ern the motion of the planets. Astronomers are able to predict the appearances of comets, stars and eclipses by applying complicated mathematical time formulas. Scientists at the Time Study Institute of the Hamil ton Watch Company in Lancas ter, Pa., note that one of the most interesting speculations on the origin of the Star of Beth lehem was in 1937 by the Rev. W. Burke-Uaffney. S J. Writing in the Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. Father Burke-Gaffncy suggests the Slar might have been a nova. Novae are stars which flare up suddenly and then fade alter a few months. Astronomers believe this is caused by tremendous explo sions, similar to (lie ones which occur on our own sun, itself a small star. Astronomy was a budding "science" long belore Christ. Its center was in Babylonia, which is thought to have been the home of the Wise Men. They were known as "magi," the old Babylonian word for the scholarly, star-gazing priests of the Zoroastrian religion. Since comets, eclipses and the posi tions of the planets signified great changes in the affairs of men, there is little doubt a blaz ing star would have gone un heeded.

Sundays Excepted upen -9:30 AM 'til 9:00 PM Doily ,V Until Chriitmai 1 A Set Exact mer Johann Kepler, w ho died in 1830. suggested that Christ had been born in 7 B.C., during a conjunction of the planets Mars, Jupiter and aturn. This phe nomenon would have certainly interested tlie Magi. By calcu lating lite unchanging joiuiics of tlx-e three planets, howev er, it luis been learned that Mars, Jupiter and Saturn could not have been bright enough to be visible in 7 B.C. Seven B.C., however, is still regarded by many to have been the year of tlie Birth. Why? According to the Bible. Christ was born during one of the great census takings of the Ro man Empire. In addition. Rome's history records tliat an empire-wide taxation was be gun in 8 B.C.

Since Judea was on tlie fron tier of tlie Roman Empire, it must have taken the lax and census takers about two years to work their w ay there. From Saint Matthew's account we know Jesus was at least 2 years old at the time of Herod's death in 4 B.C. Allowing a year and a half or two years (or the Ro man officials to reach Betlile hem, and subtracting at least two years from 4 B.C., we can narrow the Nativity to 7 or ti B.C. At this point even the ex perts diller. As for the time of tlie year of the Birth, many believe we need not look further than the Bible itself. Saint Luke says in his description of tlie Holy Night, "And tliere were in the same country shcplierds abid ing in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night." Since earliest days, it is only in tlie spring when lambs are born that the shepherds of Ju dea watch their flocks at night. December is the rainy sea son in the Holy Land, and sliepherds arc not likely to he out. If Jesus was born in the spring, why do the major Chris tian religions celebrate II i s birth In winter.
