Show 1 THE BULLETIN. BINGHAM CANYON. I'TAH ' r Trend Toward Religious Christmas Indicated People are placing greater emphasis this year on the religious significance of Christmas. This Is Indicated by the popularity of Christ-mas cards featuring whimsical angels, snow-cover- landscapes about village churches, the traditional Bethlehem scenes and similar religious themes. Many of this year's greetings recall the first Christmas with pas-sages from the scriptures and famous prayers, illustrated by colorful Nativity scenes and reproductions of famous Madonnas. Present-da- y religious practices are emphasized by congregations streaming to church on Christmas morning, families praying and choir boys sing-ing "Noel." WITH THE tmUMNISTSH DREW PEARSON Emergency Housing Aid Urged DUIG, burly Sen. Joe McCarthy of Wisconsin has suddenly got religion. He has revised his ideas on housing. While most congressional committees were diagnosing Europe's needs, one group, dominated by McCarthy, stayed at home to delve into America's No. 1 problem the housing shortage. Their findings will jolt some of the es who were in a hurry to turn wartime economy back to private enterprise. Without mincing words the joint committee on housing will report to congress that the housing problem has proved too big for private enter-prise alone. Basic causes for the housing shortage, the committee found, are: 1. The population Jumped 13 million during the war, and while the population increased, war priorities kept homebuilding almost m a standstill. 2. The real estate trade is not building for the rental market-wh- ere the most critical need exists but in order to sell. Yet the average renter has more money to spend, and Is bidding for more space. 3. Construction costs are high, caused by shortages of mate-rials and skilled labor. The chief botUenecks are cast-iro- n soil pipe, nails and lumber. X 'pwN9BIHmHH Bs v::v SAINT JOINS VATICAN GALLERY ...

Balsam fir always has been an American favorite. The story goes that the Lord sent three messengers Faith, Hope and Love to find a tree as high as Faith, as eternal as Hope, and as wide- - spread as Love, and which bore the Sign of the Cross on every bough. They brought back the balsam fir. Three varieties of spruce, blue, white or Norway, also are big sell-ers in the tree markets. If your tree Is neither fir nor spruce, you may have some variety of pine or cedar. Almost any ever-green makes a Christmas tree, the species being dictated largely by where you live. In Colorado folks use the lodgepole pine because the firs grow too high up In the moun-tains to be cut and shipped easily. Tennessee uses white cedar, and in California you may even get a red-wood. I cannot think or reason, I only know He came. With hands and feet of healing And wild heart all aflame. With eyes that dimmed and softened At all the things He saw. And in His pillared singing I read the marching Law. I only know He loves me. Enfolds and understands And oh, His heart that holds me, And oh. His certain hands. The Man, the Christ, the Soldier, Who from His cross of pain Cried to the dying comrade, "Lad, we shall meet again." By Willard Wattles. WALTER SHEAD Farm Blocs Wait at Trough HPHE Marshall plan for stop-ga- p aid to Europe, which seems certain of passage in some form In the special session, calls for peak production of almost all agricultural crops. So the farm commodity blocs are mobiliz-ing; as a matter of fact, they began work before the special session con-vened, to get a finger in the pie. There's a lot of money to be spent on this interim aid to Europe and, despite the fact that the administration is definitely opposed to earmarking any funds for special items in the legislation itself, the pressure groups are at the trough waiting. For instance, the cotton boys want promises of enough money for possibly a million and a half bales of this year's crop and, if tobacco can be classified as essential aid, the tobacco boys want to be In on the take. Big pressure is on to include canned goods in the aid program. Then there are the big wheat growers, like the Montana man who is holding 600,000 bushels for a higher price. Soybean, peanut and cotton seed oils and many other specific blocs are trying to get airtight promises for big money for their groups. H. L PHILLIPS Lexicon of Global Diplomacy Aggressor.

Large fires were held to purify the fields and to tSfUTa bountiful crops. Everyone in the district gathered together to sing the Wassail Song and to drink from the Wassail Cup. The ceremony was revived In America in 1930, when George M. Haushalter held a Burning of the Greens at Rochester, N. Y., and since has become an annual event there as well as In other communi-ties. Discarded Christmas trees and wreaths were held for the New Year's celebration, then collected arid burned at a gala community bonfire. It has been accepted as the end of the New Year's celebrations. WESTBROOK PEGLER It Depends on Who Says It THE general public discussion of Communists in the movie indus IN try, someone made the mistake of proposing the repeal of one of the laws of nature. This patriot recalled movies in which the American banker had been portrayed as a bleak and bloodless rascal who cele-brated Christmas by turning the widow and her little brood out into the snow. This was held to be a wicked slander on a noble school of Ameri cans, intended to undermine confidence in the holy edifice of liberty. Actually, this is just a familiar working of the fatal attrac-tion of the plug hat for the snowball. The same theme, written and acted by men and women of respectable motives, has been applauded for generations. Horatio Alger was no seditionist but, in Jed the Poor-Hous- e Boy and many repetitions of the same artless tale, he made the banker so downright mean that you were likely to lay down the book and hiss. We take some things from some people without a blink. When others say them, we get And it isn't so much the things them-selves that we resent as the nasty way some people say them. If a fellow American remarks that we certainly did give the Indians an awful deal, we shrug and wish it were not so. But if a captured Nazi on trial before Americans should say that we set Hitler the example of con-quest, repudiation of treaties and genocide the new gullah for ex-termination of a race we want to hang him for impudence and are glad of a more plausible excuse. ' aaracter o Santa C.lauA jCea Js Otlieri No other Christmas symbol has a greater hold on the youth of the world than the character of Santa Claus. He probably originated in Holland and was Imported to Amer-ica by the early Dutch settlers. While his character has been changed in different countries and regions he remains in spirit the same Santa that came from Holland. RT SKIRTS OR LONG BEARDS . . .

The vast majority cannot pay $10,000 and up for a house which could have been bought in prewar days for some $3,000. If he attempts to pay today's price he knows he will lose; will not be able to pay out. A very considerable part of that difference in price is occasioned by the feather-bedding- , the slowdowns and the pet-ty jurisdictional rules of the build-ing trades unions. The people gener-ally are awakening to the fact that the selfish attitude of union labor is causing thousands of families to live in Inadequate housing. Object to Cliristma.5 To the Jehovah's Witnesses, a Christmas tree in one's home "sig-nifies that one Is willing to worship the evil descending all the way from Nlmrod." The Witnesses also believe that Christmas should not be celebrated because it is an admixture of a Christian idea and a pagan setting. The older Witnesses still observe Christmas because the founder no-- where spoke against it |
