In that light that came from Bethlehem, the harshness and roughness of life are n.ellowed. Hearts are warmed toward other hearts as no sunlight can warm them. Eyes filled with kindness for fellow men cannot see in this magical candle-glow, candle-glow, the distinctions of race or color, rank or station, wealth or poverty. Mankind does not need more light on its problems today but only that cleaner, friendlier light that corres from its Christmas Christ-mas candles. May YOUR Christmas be a happy one.

FORUM i 4 mi Dembcrat Rnt&rt; Mayors Crtticism Editor -Heraldr As a citlzeri of Provo I wish to take exception-to the(crltlcisnxl the present, national administra tion made by the mayor: It seems to me that it hardly lies in the mouth of Mayor . Anderson, . after his administration has beebme the beneficiary of several hundred thousand dollars in WPA funds from the federal government, to accuse the PWA of "playing nQfse" with Provo City, and also insinuating that the government omciais are such a spineless bunch that the private power in terests can dictate what, if any, grants ahaU toe made., l read m oie papers recently that our national na-tional administration had made grants of millions of dollars to uiiierent clues throughout the country, for the building of municipal mu-nicipal power plants. As I under stand it, the reason Provo City was turned down was because the city officials of Provo hadn't ad vertised tor bids for the bufldin? of the municipal plant, but simp-, ty turned over the contract to an eastern contracting syndicate. xavo years ago some of the tax-payeis tax-payeis of Provo tried to tell the mayor, that he ought to let the uuuding of the plant to the lowest low-est bidder, like they have done with Deer Creek and the new hospital, hos-pital, but he ignored all such suggestions, sug-gestions, and now, whole scores ox oiSher cities have received grants for building their power plants, Provo City is denied a grant because the mayor's bungling, bung-ling, and now he tries to pass the buk by casting reflections on our federal officials.
