The rector is a devotee of golf as a

The Centre Democrat felicitates
Msgr. Downes upon his record of
40 years in the priesthood and cone

ilent Night
The battle is over.
The bomb-shattered village is deserted, lifeless.
And the silence that greets our invading men
is deathly. It's the kind of grim stiliness many
of them will know on Christmas Eve this year.
Not like the warm, beautiful “Silent Night"
we know. Not like the peace in our homes the
night before Christmas.
But the only way we can have some peace in our hearts
is to know that we're helping bring our men back. Actually
helping by buying all the War Bonds we possibly can. And
by giving all the War Bonds we possibly can.
For no other gift could mean so much this year . . . no
other gift could do so much good.
In War Bonds, lies the spirit of Christmas.
