LUKE And It came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrus was governor of Syria) And all went to be taxed, every one unto his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth into 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 while they were there, the days were ac. complished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her first son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes. And laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, Keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of tire Lord shown 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 joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior Which1 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 there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly host praising God and saying, GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST, AND ON EARTH GOOD WILL TOWARD M EN. Luke 11 1.4 A Christmas Sentiment By CHARLES ROSS 1878 — 1951 The greatest miracle of time is radiating influence from a cradle in Bethlehem ever broadening through nine, teen centuries. This Babe began His career from no pedestal of family fame. His parents were humble people, for whom no gust chamber was provided, but were forced to find shelter among the beasts of buiden. The circumstances of His birth even cast suspicion upon His legitimacy. He shared the glamour of no conquering race, for the glory of Solomon had departed, and He shared the fate of a subdued remnant of a subject race, ruled by the vassals of a foreign power. There had already developed a racial prejudice toward the Jew that has dogged the footsteps of that scattered people in their wandeiings through every country upon the globe. But worse still, He was misunder stood, reviled and crucified even by His own people, and His only friends a handful of fislier.folk. Today the whole word counts time by a calendar that marks His birth, and even unbelievers date affairs by Anno Domini. His only writing was with His fingers in the sand, but the world’s greatest literature is filled with quotations and paraphases of His sayings, and finds a place of permanence only in proportion as it draws inspiration from His teach, ings. He left no musical compositions, but the greatest of all musical compositions are those that give expression to the Christian hope and aspirations of men. His only build, ing was in the simple carpentry of the village of Nazareth, but architecture has achieved its greatest triumphs in the iemp es and cathedrals erected for His worship. He founded no institutions, but the lengthening shadow of His influence is studded with hospitals and orphanages, where men and women minister in His name. He organized no public charities, but no Community Chest or Red Cross drive, or other manifestation of the fragrance of man’s humanity to man, but in its last analy sis rests upon the appeal “Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these, you have done it unto me.’’ In the cataclysm of war that envelopes the earth today we who fight and pray for the preservation of the demo cratic conception of government, pin our faith to the eter. nal verity of His teaching in the brotherhood of man, and confidently look forward to that new order, which Isaiah foresaw twenty.five centuries ago, when “the Gov. emment shall be upon His shoulders.” Pete Shell • nnllr-urt from Paffr II many years During the Second World War, he was a captain in the state guard and commander of the local detachment. Former postmaster Ralph W’ade said he first started with the postal department in Wilmington and was hired in the Dunn post-office when he came back to his birth-place.

The Muu Mini Garb Is Only For Leisure Wear ■By GAY PAULEY United Press Women's Editor NEW YORK IIP) — Well, men, you thought the chemise robbed us females of curves. Wait’ll you see us in a muu-muu! It’s even baggier, but that doesn't slow its progress into our wardrobes. , 1 happily report that so far, un like the chemise or sack, the muu-muu isn’t for street wear. Only for our leisure hours. But give this comfortable garb time, give this comfortable grab time. By way of explanation, the muu-muu is a native of Hawaii, is ankle or floor length, cut full and completely unfitted except at the yoke. Theories On Muu-Muu There are various theories on how the muu-muu migrated from native garb in the islands to at home fashion on the mainland. Gloria Buchner, fashion coordi nator for Alfred Shaheen a firm olulu manufacturer, said this firm has been featuring muu-muu, caught yn after a promotion by a California store. Shaheen's muu-muus all are made in Hawaii and'shipped to domestic stores. There are muu muus for the patio, the pool, the dormitory, and for formal at home occasions. And Shaheen fea tures a “mamma muu-muu- for those expecting.” Mrs. Shirley Konheim, boss of a New York firm which special izes in sub-teen wear, found her self in the muu-muu business be cause of daughter Barbara, a co ed at Western College, Oxford, Ohio. Barbara was one of 16 coeds who last summer made a college sponsored four of the Far East En route home, the group stopped off in Honolulu, where Barbara bought a couple of muu-muus. "She got off the plane at Idle wild in one of the things,” her mother said, “and I was morti field. My daughter traveling in something like that! Comfortable and Versatile “But after I watched the dress in motion around home, I realized how wonderfully comfortable and versatile it is.” Wasn’t long until Mrs. Konheim was making the garments for Barbara’s friends at Western, and then for coeds across the nation. She has given her garments the trade name, “moo-moo”. Shaheen features more than 100 prints in the island-made muu tnuss. Mrs. Konheim, who uses U. S. -made fabrics, has intro duced bold plaids, zodiac prints and ivy league stripes. She doubts if the muu-muu ever will show much variatibn, as have the sack silhouettes. GOT REGISTER, TOO MILWAUKEE. Wis.. (UP)—The bandit who held up grocer Har vey Silverstein Saturday nigh.t de manding "I wants all your cotton pickin money,” got more than he bargained for. As the bandit fled Silverstein threw the empty cash register at him, striking him on the head, but he kept on going.

Monday Wells Leaving Harnett Post Young ASC Man To Biggest County One of the youngest ASC administrators in the coun. try will soon be supervising the crop compliance program iri the largest county in the world to come under this Ag. riculture Department operation. On January 2, Jeffress Wells, 23 years old, is • slated to report to the Robeson County headquarters of the ASC. He will replace as the manager there Julius Scott, who is retiring into private busi ness. Wells, a Kipling native and graduate of Lafayette High School, went to Campbell College at Buie's Creek. He already has a family well started with two dau ghters, Margaret and Melinda. In the crop program four years, he began in Harnett in 1954 as a performance reporter, became a spot checker the following year, then a performance supervisor and finally, in 1957, office manager for Harnett. He replaced Thurman Garriss, who landed a higher po sition with the state ASC. Garriss’s exit was preceded by much criticism but Wells admin istration has been relatively free of organized opposition. Charles Kay, chairman of the new county committee made up of Harnett farmers, said he was sorry to see Wells go. So far, said Ray, there have been no applicants for the job Wells is leaving though the open ing of the position and a request for applicants has been made.

Ingrid In Rome With Pink Elephant ROME (UP)—Ingrid Bergman arrived in Rome today with a big pink elephant in her arms and an eye toward decorating a Christmas tree with' her three young children.

Ingrid stepped off a plane from London and embraced 7-year-old Robertino and 5-year-old twins Ingrid and Isabella. Isabella clung tightly to a big pink foam rubber elephant her mother had brought as they rushed through customs with Ros sellini’s sister, Marcella Mariani. “Roberto W'as not told us when he is arriving,” his sister said. “Perhaps he won’t come at all. So many people would be tele - phoning, especially the press.
