GOOD NEWS FOR DEAF
Walkie-talkies for all are going
into production at popular prices.
•
Don’t say you weren’t warned!
•
The news is depressing. What
America needs is less talk, not
more.
•
The basic American idea used to
be that a man should never sound
off until sure he is right. The rule
of the hour is to say it now and
verify it later.
♦
Hie war brought the menace of
the atomic bomb, but the threat of
the walkie-talkie in everyday life
will run a close second. It adds
fuel to the gas bags. Thousands of
people who have had to be some
what quiet will now be able to throw
their voices all over the fields and
hills.
•
It is declared that the walkie-
talkie will be a boon to farmers,
hunters, truck drivers, etc. The
truck driver already is too busy lis
tening to the radio to keep his mind
on his driving, without being given
the opportunity to phone while in
motion.
•
And as for the hunters, they used
to go into the woods for silence. Are
they now to go into them for argu
ment and rebuttal?
• I
We tremble at the influence of the
walkie-talkie in farm life. ' Tie farm
ers have been a pretty taciturn lot.
Now the farmer in the dell, the
milkmaid and Little Bo Peep will
all be so busy jabbering away at one
another that not a cow will get
milked.
♦
Quick, Gideon, the ear laps!

Maud Muller and the
Walkie-Talkie
(“When the walkie-talkies go into pro
duction, as they soon will on a Hg scale,
it is expected they will be of great help
on farms.”—News Item.)
Maud Muller on a summer day
Baked the meadow sweet with hay.
With walkie-talkie at her side
She threw the gossip far and wide.
• • •
Beneath her torn hat flew the dirt i
About Gus, Chester, Marge and
Gert.
She gave 'em all that they could 1
take.
And, baby, how that girl could rake! I
• • •
The judge rode slowly down the lane
Smoothing his horse’s chestnut
mane.
He heard the voice; a tight rein
drew
For fear his horse might hear it too.
He drew his bridle in the shade {
And listened to the gabby maid:
“I hear the Twickmen girl passed'
out
At Joey’s Night Club.; true, no
doubt. ...
Tom Brown has left his wife and
kids. . . .
The Smith romance is on the
skids
A certain judge—the tip just came—'
Is that way over what’s her **ame?” i
• • •
The judge he blushed and turned
about
And hauled his walkie-talkie out.
“I’ll sue you, Maud,” hizsoner
cracked
“Unless you speedily retract;
All gossip I abhor and hate
But here’s a tip that’s pretty
straight:
That Muller girl — know who I
mean?—
Is tired of that rake routine.
I hear she’d like to get away
From all that scent and all that
hay.”
• • •
Maud Muller looked and sighed,
“Ah me
I guess that comes reliably;
The dope is, judge, you’re in the
dough
And for you I would gladly go.”
! 1
The judge gave Maud a look quite
sour
And wedded a wife of richest dower.
And oft now when the sun shines hot
On the new-mown hay in the mead
ow lot
Maud ponders, rake still in her
elutch,
*T wonder if I talked too much!”

Quote Note
I’m fond of hearing sayings true;
On proverbs I’m a doter.
Wise maxims, whether old or
new—
Provided I’m the quoter.
A fountain pen has been perfect
ed which is guaranteed to write for
two years without any refilling
whatever. Wanna spoil everything,
eh? Half the charm of a fountain
pen has been the fact it kept us
grumbling.

Hold First Spot in
Santa's Toyland
Busy With War Work, He
Was Unable to Make
New Metal Toys.
The celebration of V-J Day didn’t
come soon enough to put Santa
Claus’ toyland schedule to a peace
time basis. Although he will carry
more than a $200,000,000 pack of
playthings this Christmas, less than
8 per cent of the toys under Yule-
tide trees will be of metal and most
of these will be the simplest types
of stamped-out metal.
There will be only a token

ETERNAL STAR
OF BETHLEHEM
The Wise Men may have been the
only ones who actually saw the Star
of Bethlehem.
But:
According to St. Matthew, when
Herod heard that the Wise Men were
seeking the Christ Child whose star
they had seen in the east, he sum
moned the chief priests and scribes
of the people and demanded of them
where it had been predicted that the
Christ should be born.
“And they said unto him. In Beth
lehem of Judea: for thus it is writ
ten by the prophet.”—St. Matthew
2:5.
It was written by the prophet—
and nothing could prevent it.
And after the Wise Men had been
directed to Bethlehem by Herod:
". . . lo, the star, which they had
seen in the east, went before them
till it came and stood over where
the young Child was.
"When they saw the star, they re
joiced with exceeding great joy.”—
Matthew 2:9-10.
Appa—'ntly, even the Wise Men
lost sig r . of the Star temporarily—
hence they rejoiced when it returned
to their vision after they had de
parted from Herod.
The Star of Bethlehem was nei
ther kindled nor extinguished when
Christ was born in Judea—it was
written by the prophet, it has van
quished every despot from Herod to
Hitler and survived every tyranny
and cruelty that evil men could think
of: and the hearts of men, turning
from foul memories and associa
tions, have—and shall—rejoice in
the eternal light of righteousness
and peace.
Dolls a big favorite.
dicates, but better quality lines of
wood and cardboard playthings are
assured. Rubber toys are not ex
pected to appear in any volume and
plastic items will be limited to the
same small quantities as last year
due to material shortages.
The brightest spot on toyland is
the doll parade and the parlor game
sector where there are reported to
be good supplies of many old favor
ites like Camelot and Monopoly that
children and parents can enjoy to
gether, although cardboard and dye-
cut limitations have made new items
scarce. Classic card game favorites
like Rook, Pit and Crossword Lexi
con have been produced in large vol
ume, as they require a minimum of
cardboard. Bonanza, combining the
technique of Michigan and rummy,
is another favorite that provides fun
for all the family. Escape-type
games that are easy to learn pre
dominate.
Nation’s Christmas Tree
Was Dedicated in 1925
The Nation’s Christmas Tree
was so dedicated on Christmas
Day, 1925.
The tree, one of the Sequoia

feet tall and is located in General
Grant National park, 64 miles
east of Fresno, Calif.
Appropriate and well-attended
ceremonies are held beneath the
tree each year, weather and oth

EXALTING CHRIST IN THE LIFF
OF THE NATION
LESSON TEXT: Isaiah 9:2. 3. 6. 7: Luke
1:26-33.
GOLDEN TEXT: For unto us a child is
born, unto us a son is given: and the
government shall be upon His shoulder:
and His name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor, the Mighty God. the Everlast
ing Father, the Prince of Peace.—Isaiah
9:8.
Christmas is coming! It should
be a blessed and delightful time this
yea- But do not fail to ask your-
sel What is its true meaning?
Why did Christ come? So that we
could feast and celebrate? Surely
not. He came first of all to be a
Saviour; but do not forget that the
Saviour is also the King of kings.
When Jesus came, His people Is
rael were practically without a gov
ernment. They were a subject peo
ple under the rule of Rome. Their
national life was in ruins; dark
ness had settled over their land, and
there was both national and spiritual
darkness. Christ came as their King,
as well as the Light of the world.
True, they rejected Him, and His
kingdom is now in abeyance until He
comes again to reign. One of these
days He will come!
I. Darkness—but the Light Is Com
ing! (Isa. 9:2, 3).
When Jesus came there was deep
darkness in Israel; there was no
king. National honor and glory were
at low ebb. Religious leaders had
lost their spiritual vision and zeal.
They were going through the form
of godliness but denying its power.
Read the book of Malachi for a
picture of their desolation.
Then Jesus came, and the great
est Light of all time shone forth in
the darkness. He was and is “the
light of the world” (John 8:12).
They that followed Him did not
stumble in darkness (John 9:5; H:
9). How sad that they received Him
not (John 1:11)! The reason? They
loved darkness rather than light
(John 3:17-21).
There is much darkness in our
world today. We need the light of
Jesus in national life, as well as in
individual life. When will the na
tions of the earth recognize Him
as the only One who can truly lead
them through th* darkness?
Military leaders, educators, and
Dramatically the procession ap- scientists are saying in our day that
proaches; heralded by a single
horseman, his banner streaming
there must be a spiritual rebirth
of the peoples of the earth if we
mounted upon fiery Arabian horses
follows, and then another single
horseman upon a prancing black
steed carrying the cross on high;
the patriarch in his cardinal and
ermine, mitred bishops, clergy in
embroidered vestments and white
robed acolytes—swinging golden cen
sers—precede the jeweled pavilion
of the Holy Child.
The procession enters the Church
of the Nativity. The public is not
permitted to witness the actual plac
ing of the effigy, as that part of the
church—built above the Cave of the
Nativity—is under the jurisdiction of
the Greek Orthodox church.
On Christmas Eve, members of
all denominations assemble to sing
carols above the birthplace of the
Holy Child before midnight mass is
solemnized in the Church of the
Nativity.
"© (Cmite, All i* iFajtljful”
Calling from all Churches throughout all tbe lands, with the hymn most
often heard, “O Come, All Ye Faithful,” carol singers have become a most
vital part of every community’s Christmas. Without the boys and girls
singing in the Churches, in the homes and over the air, Christmas would
lack the real spirit that it has acquired in this country.
Santa’s Toy Outlook
Stuffed animals will be plentiful in
Santa’s pack, but Dydee, the pre
war favorite that drank from a bot
tle and had its diapers changed,
can’t be expected until 1946 for V-J
Day came too late to make rubber
available for Christmas toys.
Doll furniture such as cradles,
beds and high chairs will be avail
able but in limited quantities. Doll
carriages are being manufactured
in volume but there will be only
a limited number with metal parts.
aloft. A corps of native police ar f. not to have another war which
will destroy everything. No mere re
vival of “religion” will do it. We
must have Jesus, the Saviour and
the Light!
II. Chaos—but a King Is Com
ing (Isa. 9:6, 7).
We have already suggested that
Isaiah’s prophecy came at a time of
chaos in the affairs of the nation,
i Would they ever have the order and
dignity of a nation again? Who was
to be their king? What kind of lead
er would He be? Our verses give
the answer.
Seven hundred years before Christ
came, the prophet presented a glor
ious, detailed picture of the coming
One. He was to be born as a Babe
—a Son—but the "government shall
be upon his shoulder.”
What kind of King is He? His
names reveal Him.
“Wonderful”—that word has been
so misused that it means compara
tively little to us. It really fulfills its
true meaning in Christ. He is unique,
remarkable, yes, truly wonderful.
“Counsellor”—in every detail of life,
great or small, an infallible Guide.
“Mighty God”—not just like God, or
representing God; Christ is God.
“Everlasting Father”—the tender
and loving, unfailing One to whom
time brings no change, for He is the
“Father of eternity.” "Prince of
Peace”—He is not yet the Ruler of
the nations of the world, hence we
hear not only of wars but of rumors
of wars. Mark it well that there will
be no enduring peace until He comes
to reign whose right it is to reign,
the divine Prince of Peace.
HI. Jesus Christ—the Light and
the King (Luke 1:26-33).
If Christ is to be honored in the
life of any nation, yes, of our na
tion, He must first be recognized as
the Son of God, the Lord of glory,
the everlasting King of kings.
We need to emphasize that fact
now when both military and politi
cal leaders are talking about the
need of spiritual revival to save the
world. Let us be sure that they mean
more than just to pay formal recog
nition to a great man and a distin
guished moral teacher. He is the
Saviour, and there is none other
(Acts 4:12).
Note the marvelous fulfillment of
prophecy which actually took place
in the coming of Jesus. Isaiah (7:
14) said He was to be born of a
virgin. He was (v. 27)! He was to be
the Son of God (Ps. 2:7). He was
(v. 32)! And so on through all the
detailed prophecies of His birth.
We celebrate the fulfillment of
these prophecies at Christmas time.
Let us be reminded that there are
hundreds of prophecies that He is to
come again. Let us believe them,
and look for Him. He is the hope of
this poor world!
Yule Tree’* Start
The Christmas tree business in the
United States is believed to have
started in 1851, when Mark Carr, a
woodsman of the Catskills, sold two
sledge loads of trees in New York.
Today, almost every region pro
duces Christmas trees although the
largest volume comes from the Far
West. Frequently, buyers of trees in
our cities will observe they are
tagged with a notice to the effect
that they were harvested according
to good forestry practice.

/"VNLY one tractor tire has the patented
“Center Bite” tread design . . . that’s the
Firestone Ground Grip. This “Center Bite”
will give your tractor up to 16% more pull at
the drawbar. That’s because the triple-braced
bars cross at the very heart of the traction zone
where the center of your load falls. And it
doesn’t catch trash and clog up like open-
center treads.
But the extra pull of a “Center Bite” Ground
Grip tire is not its only advantage. It has a 40%
longer tread life and the cord body is 14%
stronger. That is why more farmers use Firestone
Ground Grips than any other make.
jYou will find that you can save time, money
and do a better job of firming with Firestone
Ground Grips . . . the only tires with tha
“Center Bite.”
