Editorially Speaking ACCORDING TO ST. LUKE And it came to pass in those days that there went out | a decree from Caesar Augustus, that aii the world should be taxed. And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. | : And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city | of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David which is called | Bethlehem; because he was of the house and lineage of David. | To Be taxed with Mary, his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was that while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her first-born Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger; beenuse there was no room for them in the Inn. And there were in the same country shepherds viding | in the field, keeping watch over their flocks by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the | ‘glory of the Lord shone round about them, and ‘they were sore ‘afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not, for behold I bring | you good tidings of great jo,y which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the Babe | wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly sthere was with the angel a multitude of | the heavenly host praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest, ‘and on earth peace, good | will toward men. And it came to pass, as the Agels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us z0 now even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which has | come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. Pass On Your Discarded Eyeglasses This is an appeal which will not cost you a cent, just a small amount of postage. If you have eyeglasses on hand which are not in use, send them to NEW EYES FOR THE NEEDY. : The address is New Eyes for the Needy, Short Hills, N. d. Wrap the glasses carefully, either in their own cases or well padded boxes. : Volunteers sort the glasses. / Bits of discarded jewelry will help. Metal is melted down, and from the proceeds, artificial eyes and new pre- scription lenses are bought. Good plastic-framed glasses are sent overseas, their prescriptions clearly marked, for guidance of medical missionaries. Last year 45,000 pairs of glasses were sent, along with many artificial eyes. There is a tremendous demand for tinted glasses for use in tropical countries. Don’t laugh . . . dentures which contain gold are valuable! The gold goes into the smelter, along with odd bits of jewelry. Nothing is wasted. Two large jewelry sales a year are sponsored by the organization, to raise funds for purchase of glasses. There are plenty of needy people in the United States who are able to have their vision improved by New Eyes for the Needy. Folks on limited pensions who find their resources inadequate, may apply for glasses. It is a non-profit organization. MY CHRISTMAS WISHES These are the things I wish for you On Christmas Day in the morning:- A cloudy sky and a flurry of snow, With a rollicking old north wind to blow; A peep at a lighted tree at dawn With just your nighties and slippers on; A Child to watch - that he bring to you A ghost of the thrill that once you knew. A sound of bells across the snow, A Christmas carol of long ago, A branch of holly and mistletoe- With someone standing just below. A good yule log to blaze and roar, A sound of laughter at your door- A rousing knock, then trooping through, Old friends and new, good friends and true- To help you keep this Christmas Day In the good old fashioned way. Then ruddy embers that glow and die, And frost bright stars in a clearing sky. All these and more, I wish for you On Christmas Day in the morning. 5 xR : IN i wn | Fort Dix; Yesterday It Happened 30 Years Ago Private industry was beginning {to absorb workers, 2,500 WPA | wolkers in Luzerne County were off | the rolls.

Inverted on this needle is a tiny glass cup to which | are fastened four little metal] squares which are white on one | side, black on the other. These small vanes are evenly positioned | around the needle, which acts as | an axis. To complete this appa- ratus, the air is removed from the bubble, creating a vacuum. | When this instrument is exposed | | to a strong source of light or heat, | | the vanes begin to spin rapidly | around the needle. What causes this ‘motion ? Light and heat, which are both forms of radiation, exert pressure | when they come in contact with an | object. This pressure is so small | | that we don’t notice it in our every- | ,day lives. The small pieces of | metal, however, delicately poised i on the needle in a vacuum (elimi- | | nating air friction) are greatly af- |fected by this radiation pressure. The reason that one side of the | vanes is painted white is that | when the Yadiation is reflected -blue Hibben. at Rotary Fall Tair: and a recently completed snow ‘scene centering a covered bridge.

Now, | | after these years, they demand Mr. | Ide to move his son’s trailer or lose | | his job as chief of police. Doesn't his being a honest com- munity worker mean anything to | | this community anymore? Must | we measure his intelligence, dignity, | and loyalty by a few who have! | only lived in this center for a few years? I know Mr. Ide has helped | many Lehman Township people out | of difficulties with his knowledge of police duties, and would surely | do so again, even though he has | been seriously criticized by a few | who do not know his background, | only assume they know law, and | are out to show how much they know. | | Mr. Ide is not a man of great | means, but struggled tc buy a tract | of land so that when his children became of age he could leave some heritage to them. After all, the | land he lives on and the land the | trailer sets on, once belonged to | the Ide ancestors. That is why this place is called Idetown. And | to help their | can, children when they future. Even though Mr. Ide doesn’t have | many material things, he and his | | wife must have something, for they’ have raised a family of seven, and | I have the first time to hear the] | Chief’s children are doing anything | wrong, car racing, etc. like many | teen-agers, but they have respect for his job as well as being loving | parents. 1 say, whether he should have trailers on his land or not is one thing nobody in the community should stand for. I am hoping others will feel this way, and can honestly say Mr. Ide, we apologize for these indignities. Sincerely, Helen Swan This principle was developed by E. F. Nichols and G. F. Hull that described above. They also determined that radiation pressure was the cause of a comet's tail al- | ways pointing away from the sun.

Soe by HIX MEMORIES OF CHRISTMAS : by Ralph DeWitt : . Christmas time always brings back fond memories to me. There was always a group gathered at our house to go forth on Christmas | eve to sing carols to our best neighbors at their brightly lighted homes. We were all bundled up in warm coats, mufflers, and ear- flaps, and wore grandma’s knitted mittens. What we lacked in musicianship we more than made up in enthusiasm. After the sing- ing was over the group would come over to our house and gather in the big kitchen to get thawed out and see what there was to eat. We never lacked for an appetite. There was the smell of chestnuts roasting on top of the big coal stove; how sweet those chestnuts were, when you picked one up you burned your fingers. The color of a hubbard squash pie coming fresh out of the oven; the scraping of a handful of raw saurkraut off the top of the barrel at thebottom of the cellar steps. The big crock of fresh cold cider with a tin dipper for filling your glass; the big fat home-made ginger cookies with- sugared tops, the northern spy apples that crackled when you bit into them, what feasts we had. The scent of buckwheat cake batter in the old stone pitcher ‘ton the chair before the opened oven door after everyone hod gone home. 2 There was the young boy's ast look out of the window before. crawling into bed with the cornhusk mattress that creaked at every turn.

The silver moon in the frost bright starry sky added a touch of romance for the older ones in the group. If their hands got cold there was good reason to find other hands to warm them. Girls’ hands were always warm. : All these things come back to my mind at each Christmas time. “Backward, turn backward, oh time in thy flight, make me a bay again, just for tonight.” : An Eighteen-Year Old Investigates ‘The Juvenile Delinquent Situation by Howard Harding I have been reading an awful lot rectly to the part-time job. in the newspapers and magazines!
