There's only another week left to use it, so let's make I; the greeting universal from here on out! Say "Merry Christmas" when you meet a peighbor on t le street, when you answer the phone', wien you greet; a customer. Feel the Christmas spirit yourself so that you'll really ijnean it when .you use the familiar yule greeting. And, let's hot forget the true meaning of Christmasthe message; of peace pn taught by good will toward men, earth, the Savior, whose birth the yuletide coramemmorates. IS THAT SQ! By DOUGLAS LARSEN NE A Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON (NEA) The tt.S. State Department, White House and even official British spokesmen here come up with hiBateJ denials of' some rumors and canards which are beiripi spread widely in Britain these days Mean It! In no other season does peace come closer to world-wid- e reality than at Christmas time when men reflect on the message the angel proclaimed to, the shepherds: "Fear not; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is bom this day in sentiment. causing bitter One of these reports is that President Eisenhower has snubbed every British official from Sir Anthony Eden on down. It is widely believed in England that Ike, soon after the Suez cease-firhad invited Eden to Washington for a visit and a few hours later summarily told him not to come, without an explanation; Another report in this category is that inewly arrived British Ambassador Sir Harold Caccia got a curt, chilly reception by Ike when he presented his credentials. A BRITISH SDokesman here ehons thes storieai to bits. "It just ish t true that vbur President has snubbed British officials! either before or since the Suez crisis," he insists. "Wheri Sir Harold presented his credentials,- and in subsequent meetings, Mr. Eisenhower couldn't have been more courteous and gracious,"' he adds. The White House cnment is simply, "That report is pure nonsense, because the President just isn't the type of man to snub anyone, and he is only eager to restore what damage has been done to relations with Britain." The report of the Eden visit to is also denied. And it is implied by official Washington II sources that such a yisit is now being worked out. Another of the canirds is the charge that the United States controls jthe United Nations. In Parliament the expression "Mr; Eisenhower's United Nations," has been used several times. Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Express ha urged, "Let's quit U.N. now," THE EXPRESS has called the U.N. "a fraudulent body which disrupts the structure of civilization,1 gives comfort to the and pursues immoral aims with anti-Americ- e, the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord . The next two weeks the week before Christmas and the weeks after should be two of the most glorious weeks in the year. Certainly they will be if everyone does his part in developing the warm, cheerful yet humble spirit that goes with the season. Elsewhere on this page are some Christmas messages written by Herald readers. If you would like to express your own thoughts on the spirit of Christmas, The Herald will be glad to publish them, if they are brief and you get them in within the next few days. Perhaps your message expressed straight from the heart may help others to get the spirit. j - ; Parasite Cowbird Shunts Duties to Others of her victim by puncturing it with her bill and carrying it off.

The young cowbird is almdst always bigger than Its nest mates and with greedy insiitence usually monopolizes the food brought by the overworked little parent's. The upshot, often enough, is that the foster parent's true young starve while the parents are left with the single overgrown young cowbird, feeding it even though it may be twice their peregrines, and eagles, each with its own falconer.

Specifically answering the charge that the U;N. Committee Gets Kind Word for Promoting I SPOSE SOrHAVCMTFUSSCP A REAL NICE LAD Spirit of Christmas Editor Herald: I have been taking the Christmas committee's suggestion to say "Merry Christmfs" instead of "hello." It has been my observation that this greeting really works. Faces of people I speak to seem to light up just a little more than when the perfunctory greeting is given. I think if everyone would use the "Merry Christmas" greeting between now and Dec. 25 it would be a good thing. The greeting helps to promote the Christmas spirit. Of course, we must not sidetrack the real mean ing, centered around the birth of Christ, the Prince of Peace, the Savior of ihe World. Seems to me the committee has done well to stress these things this year instead of to emphasize only, the commercial side. R. P. Williams , j Qsand As Q Why is potash so called?
