& THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thursday, December 22, 19W The Immortal Story The Birth Of Jesus And it came to pass in thone days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augus tus, that all the work! should be taxed. (And this taxing: was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria). And all went to l>e taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto 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, be ing great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accom plished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrap ped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. The Visit Of The Shepherds And there were in same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them. Fear not: for behold, 1 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 Saviour, which 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 Vas with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, ami saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will to ward men. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known to us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning the child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. The Visit Of The Wise Men Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behokl, there came wise men from the east to Jeru salem. saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When Herod the king heard these things, he was troubled and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he de manded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judea; for thus it is written by the pro phet, And thou, Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, are not the least among the princes of Juda; for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, in quired of them diligently what time the star appealed. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that 1 may come and worship him also. When they had heard the king, they departed and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him; and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. The Flight Into Egypt And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Ixird appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying. Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee Into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: And was there until the death of Herod: that it might lie fulfilled which was spoken of the I/ord by the prophet. Out of Egypt have I called my son. Curious Appointments By Thurman SrnNing, Exec. Vice-Pres.

Paul Smith, Marion Griffis. Mrs. William Littlefield. Hugh Graham, Mrs. Rosa Ow ens, W. L. Meurs, and Mrs Mat- tie Whitlock The real significance of the Cabinet appoint ments in the Kennedy administration will not be known for some time. This can lie realized by analyzing the selection ol Governor Luther H Hodges of North Carolina as Secretary ol Commerce and David K. Bell of Harvard University as Director of the Bureau of the Budget Governor Hodges is a first-class public official who thoroughly understands the needs of Amer ican business. From ItMU to 1050 he was an offi cial of Marshall Field & Company, and at the time ot retirement was in charge of all the firm's mills He then commenced an outstanding career as Lieutenant Governor and then Governor of North Carolina In those roles, he was a superb salesman for his state He brought many indus trial payrolls to North Carolina President-elect Kennedy could not have made a better choice. But will Governor Hodges be sup ported by the administration ol which lie is a part? The Governor is a iiscal conservative Moreover, he is lor sensible regulation ol Big Labor Indeed the union bosses dislike him be cause he had the courage to order National Guardsmen into strike-torn Henderson, N. C., when that community was beset by union goons What will hapiM-n when Governor Hodges' rec ommendations conflict with the political objec lives ol Walter Keuther, president ol the United Auto Workers and a behind-the-scenes power in the Kennedy administration? We may at least wonder whether the While House will back Gov ernbr Hodges, a conservative, ‘ii the union bosses insist on a contrary policy, which is virtually certain The next president's real outlook then will be revealed to the public. Mr. Bell's appointment raises the same sort of issue On the one hand, Mr Bell announces that he regards the Budget Bureau as a “blue rib bon" agency, and states his intention to work for a balanced budget On the other hand, lie is the apparent choice ol Dr. John K Galbraith, the Harvard professor who is the mastermind of liberal' economy theories and who has no in terest in balanced budgets or conventional fiscal methods. Mr. Bell also is described as a New Dealer How he will be able to support Dealer programs, which call for deficit spending, and at the same time respect conventional wigdom regarding the nation's spending, is exceedingly hard to under stand Some conservative observers iear Uiat Gover nor Hodges' appointment and Mr. Bell's initial comments regarding a balanced budget are mere window dressing designed to win the confidence of the nation's business community at the begin ning of Uie new administration One must hope that these observers are wrong, and Uiat the President-elect intends to steer a more moderate course than he outlined in the presidential campaign Nevertheless, the political realities are that the union bosses and the acu demic advocates of big spending are the domi nant forces in the new administration Kennedy can hardly turn his hack on his party platform and on his own campaign oratory. It would therefore be illusory to suspect that Kennedy is backtracking on his basic objectives, as he has stated them time and time again—un less one can believe these statements were merely means to an end and Uiat he is completely ruth less in his methods Further appointments will be interesting to watch They should give a clearer picture News of Hurricane ^ ■ a CLINTON, S.
