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 firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there Opinion Page THE BRUNSWICK&BEACON L*J- _!* i.- i /v. cy .? ** r.nnuni ti. nm'nu unn ?,nroiyn n. .Wfoii.

The same thing it did to promote homegrown apples, beets and beef . . . start a network of marketing councils, says U.S. Hep. Walter Jones, chairman of the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, which is advocating support of U.K.2395, a bill authorizing establishment of seafood marketing councils. As the pork producers', sweet potato growers' egg and dairy councils do for their respective commodities, seafood councils could promote the role of seafood in the American diet. We know seafood is a healthy addition to the diet. And our coastal areas contain the richest and most productive fishing grounds in the world. And last year, our fisheries trade deficit soared beyond $5 billion annually. Americans are eating fish imported fish. Seafood councils could change this. Emphasizing the current "Buy American" campaign, they could send food editors complimentary layout pages and free recipe booklets, hold cook-offs for the best pickled shark and barbecued mullet recipes, and place national advertising that shows seafood eaters as the healthiest, most popular and patriotic people in America. They could offer state fair demonstrations on how to use fresh, flash-frozen and canned fish products, and how to build a backyard fish smoker. All this would certainly stimulate demand for the product. The councils would, it appears, take over at least some of the educational and promotional activities now performed by Sea (Irani with the use of federal dollars. As proposed by U.K. 2395, establishment of the councils would require majority support of the seafood processing industry. Operating funds would come from an assessment against processors, refunded by the council on request. Membership would include equitable representation by region, and by sector (harvesters, processors, importers, etc. t The bill now goes for concurrence to the U.S. Senate, which passed legislation with a similar intent during the last session of Congress, but which called for funding with federal dollars, not industry assessments.

And suddenly there 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. a Some Stories Cost I Sometimes you just don't know how to cull the shots. hinded in un awkward position through no fault of my own.

And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. ?Luke 2:1-20 \Aore Than Others length, both in the board room and ui entirely clear, though Uiere lias been a rear office where one upset board a general cftort In recent years to member had retreated. boost administrative leadership in When asked not to print the infor- the individual schools.
