Like innumerable Christmas Days of the many centuries since men began to celebrate the birthday of the Kings of Kings, this one of 1943 will not be universally observed as a day of joy and gladness. The tragic suffering caused by famines, earthquakes, floods, plagues and wars in the past cannot be compared with the destruction and disaster of this global war in point of magnitude, and yet th^ angelic chorus of "Glory to God, Peace and Good Will to Men," will be heard above the roar of cannon, the scream of diving bombers, the blast of bursting shells, and a war-weary world will struggle forward in a supreme effort to put the dogs of war on leash again and to give to humanity a peace and security it has never known before. Fighting on an unrevealed number of fronts in all parts of the world and on every one of the seven seas, we are joining with our allies in waging a war so great and destructive as to stagger man's imagination. , On the home front we are speeding production, undergoing rationing and regulations of every sort, doing without many of the comforts and ways of living to which we had grown accustomed and are putting our money in war bonds to finance this battle-making on a scale that cannot even be estimated. All of this, that man may have the right to live in a free world, to build his home and rear his family in an atmosphere of peace and security. Many homes and hearts are saddened by the absence of loved ones forced into the conflict by cruel circumstance*. Their pangs of anxiety and the Pain of bitter loss cannot be assuaged by mere words at this or any other season. If we cannot wish for you a Merry Christmas may we wish for you a renewed Faith and Hope and such an overwhelming desire to Jet love and sympathy for others find expression in deeds of mercy that you may experience the blessings of an inner peace, that peace that the world cannot give.

The First Printed Book And she brought forth her firstbora sen, and wrapped him in swaddling, clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn." ■ Thus did Johannes Butenberg print the Christmas story in the first book ever printed, The Gutenberg- Bible. In the 600 years since then no story has been printed more often; nor has any story more frequently "been the subject of truly great printing. Spanning five centuries—The Bible, Designed to Be Read as hiving Literature' gives the aame story. It is significant, because of the influence of religion on printing and of printing on religion, that each of these Bibles shows the work of the master printing craftsman of its era. Gutenberg, the inventor of printing as we know it, is represented in the first Bible; Goudy, the most polific of all type designers, In the modern one, for it is set in his Deepdene, many of the characters of which were re-cut and refitted for use in that text. Best-known of the Christmas stories is that told in "Hie Gospel According to St. Luke." The Gutenberg Bible was published by Simon ft Schuster, New York, designed by Philip Van Doren Stern, printed and bound by Haddon Craftsmen, Camden, N. J., on paper supplied by Whitaker Paper Co.—Printing.

Parker, Jr., commanding general of the 72th Infantry Division, extended the season's greetings to the Lightning soldiers of his command. General' Parker pointed out how the Christmas tree's lights are symbolic of the spirit of America, of the hours of labor that go into making a trained division, the fighting quality of the Amercan soldier and better Christmaaefe yet to come in a world we shall make free. General Parker's greetings: I "Soldiers of the 78th Division. In a few moments we shall observe a1 time-honored American custom—the lighting of the Christmas tree. | "In rnie way it is symbolic of America itself, for this ie a country where we still have the privilege of turning on lights, and we will ways have this privilege of a free people so long aa there ia aa Araerica. "Indeed we an firtss.L < to beiag able to enjoy another CHitoaai in this land of ours. It woald be well to point out again, at this time, that every act we do which better prepares us for the day whan we shall' take our place at the battle front, insures the privilege of oar enjoying' many Christmaeee yet to come in a country, and a world, freed from international banditry. "It seems fitting to say on such| an occasion that in thaae months we have been together we have worked through good and bad days. There have been many times when the way was not easy. But, the spirit which moves Americans to a supreme effort has carried us over these training period®. We have worked' and made ourselves a GOOD Division from a Green Division. That we have done well is an established fact. That we will continue to do better is a matter that rests upon the shoulders of every single soldier in this Division. One fact, however, stands out . . . that all of us can rightfully take pride in being members of the Lightning Division. ' "To you soldiers of the 78th I express the merriest of greetings to all of you, and to your families back home, who tonight are thinking of you and praying for you. "Together—we are friends and soldiers. It is our privilege and honor to wear the uniform of our country—the finest and greatest in the world. "It is our ability—and the abilities i of our allies in arms—which will bring about the defeat of the German and the Jap on some future date. It is then—and only then—that Christmas joy, as we have known it in the past, can again be ours. I "The star of Bethlehem still shines brightly. With us lies the task of keeping the'star in the heavens, because only in a free world can men hold up their eyea to see the star. "Merry Christmas to you all." "Now, Dasher; now, Dancer; now, Prancer and Vixen; On Oon«t, on Cupid, on Dondcr and Blitzen!" "A Visit from St. Nichols*." Clement r<i.j, THE BIRD CLUB HAS* CHRISTMAS PARTY Members of the Bird Club enjoyed a delightful Christmas party, held Saturday at the home of the sponsor,' Miss Tabitha DeVlsoonti.
