Comments On Men And Things . . .
Are Our Young People In School
Being Influenced To Communism?
Is God very real to us? Are
we resolutely opposed to Com
munism?
A great man of America who
honors me with his friendly re
gard sent me a book “God and
Man at Yale.” A brilliant young
graduate of Yale takes his great
University to task and writes an
arraignment of its policy.
My most intimate Yale friend
is a man, true and tried, a man
of sound Economics, a man of
marked loyalty to the church—
so Yale has two sides—as have
all other institutions. That,
however, does not make the ques
tion less urgent.
The Author quotes from ad
dresses of the President of the
University, evidently a devout
man of the church and an ex
ample of Godly living; but the
author quotes from many of the
faculty to prove that some of
them refer to our religion as a
myth. The influence of two or
three professors far outweights
the influence of a President on
the minds of adolescent students.
Probably one attractive instruc
tor is more effective than the
President. So, while the Presi
dent may be devout and may
prove his piety and devotion in
occasional addresses—as well as
in his manner of living—the im
pact on the youthful mind is that
of the daily routine of the class
room.
The adolescent mind is quick
to become skeptical; all the teach
ing of home seems just an un
critical acceptance not worthy
of a budding intelligence. It is
all too common even in high
schools, that the solemn prayers
of the parents and the Minister
are regarded as out of date.
That skepticism in religion is
equally true of what we called
Individualism in our Economics.
We like to name great men who
have done great things. But we
have many instructors who have
done great things. But we have
many instructors w r ho have never
done great things and they think
it proves a ripe scholarship to dis
parage what has been done. We
would do well to examine just
wdiat is being taught. God has
nothing to fear from feeble fel
lows who scoff at Him in class;
nor has America any reason ta
endorse Socialism.
Are you interested in alumi
num? Then this may attract you:
“The present expansion boom
in the aluminum industry calls
for lifting its pre-Korean capacity
of 775,000 tons a year to over
1,400,000 tons by early 1953. Of
this 625,000-ton expansion, Texas
Louisiana, and Arkansas have
snared an annual 370,000 tons of
new capacity.
That amount is about three
times the additional aluminum
making capacity earmarked for
Washington and Oregon, now the
top producing area. The 500,000-
ton capacity expected for this
area by early 1953 compares with
some 400,000 tons indicated for
the Northwest by that time.
The big Point Comfort plant
is now in the midst of a 60 per
cent expansion—from its present
57,000-tons-a-year capacity to 92,-
000 tons annually. That’s as much
aluminum as goes into 7,500 fight
er planes.
The Point Comfort plant was
the first aluminum plant in the
country to burn natural gas ex
clusively for producing its electri
city; now others are following
suit.
‘ This fuel supply seems far
more certain than the flow of
the other main source of power
for aluminum—water pow’er, used
in the Northwest and in upstate
New York. Recently lack of rain
in the Northwest forced a cut in
aluminum output there, and de
fense officials threatened to move
the plants to other areas.
On top of its abundance of
fuel, this region is blessed with
easy access to plentiful sources
of bauxite ore, the main raw
material of aluminum. In the
first, half of this year, 97 per
cent of this country’s bauxite out
put, or about 960,000 tons, was
dug from the soil of Arkansas. In
that same period, it’s true, the
U. S. imported more bauxite
than it produced, the in-shipments
amounting to about 1,500,000
tons. But about 84 percent of
the imports came from Surinam,
or Dutch Guiana. That’s only
about 3,500 miles from Port
Lavaca, across the Gulf of Mexi
co and the Caribbean Sea.
Surinam, which mined some
2,200,000 tons of the ore last
year, is the world’s top producer.
But there are other bauxite
sources not far away—British
Guiana, Brazil, Jamaica, Trinidad,
Haiti and the Dominican Repub
lic.
The main process of aluminum
metal manufacture consists of
electrical cooking of alumina, a
white powder derived from the
bauxite ore. Other ingredients
include baked carbon and a min
eral called cryolite. The resulting
aluminum is poured into molds
and cooled. The molded ‘pigs’
vary in weight from 50 to 1,500
pounds. It’s this cooking process
that takes so much electricity—
10 kilowatt hours for each pound
of metal. Here at the Point Com
fort works are three mammoth
power plants, each capable of
generating 40,000 kilowatts and
each supplying four of the ‘pot
rooms.’ The plants produce an
earsplitting roar and a ground
shaking vibration that suggests
the warming up of a dozen B-36
bombers.
Each power plant has 40 gas-
fueled engines driving electric
generators. One plant alone can
eat up 10 million cubic feet of
natural gas in a day.
Small Amount of Plant Food
Will Keep Needles on Tree
If you have the type of a tree-
holder that permits the tree trunk
to rest in water, you will find that a
small amount of plant food dissolved
in the water will aid in retaining
the needles on the tree, and keep
the needles green. If you use a peb
ble or rock-filled pail to support the
tree, cover the pebbles or rock with
a plant food solution.
Use one teaspoonful of plant food,
powdered form, to each gallon of
water in the container, or use one
plant food tablet to each gallon.

The Christmas Holiday
brings a welcome pause in
the affairs of business —
an opportunity to lay aside
the ordinary routine for a
time and share with our
friends the good fellowship
of the most enjoyab*«
season.

United States Top
Buyer and Supplier
In Tree Industry
The United States is the world’s
leading source of supply as well as
the top buyer in the Christmas tree
industry—a better than $50,000,000
business.
The majority of our Christmas
trees come from New England, New
York and Pennsylvania, the north
Middlewest, and the Northwest
Pacific regions. In recent years,
New Jersey has annually marketed
around 100,000 trees for local use.
Most of the trees for Christmas
sales are cut early in the fall and
the trees are kept green with plenty
of water until shipped to distribution
centers.
Some mass producers, however,
cut trees early in the new year, and
treat them with preservatives and
coloring solutions for storage in
chilled warehouses.
Christmas
♦ Quotes ♦
“Christmas is the time you de
cide to pay your doctor something
on account. You know you will need
him the day after.”
—Walter Pulitzer.
“What do people mean by send
ing you a dozen Christmas cards
during the festive season, and not
deigning to send you three lines by
way of a letter the rest of the
year?” —J. Ashby-Sterry.
“At every Christmas party. Just
as things are beginning to get good,
someone shuts his eyes, puts his
head back and moans softly: ‘Ah,
well, this isn’t like the good old
days. We don’t seem to have any
good old-fashioned Christmases any
more.” —Robert Benchley.
'Good Old' Yule
“How I would long to see just
one more ’old-fashioned Christ
mas.’ ”
These ara familiar words at this
time of the year. Before the Yule-
tide season is over, some member
of the family, grandfather or grand
mother, probably, is certain to
pass that remark, as they have
dona each Christmas of the past
And yet If we search back into
the records ... to the turn of the
century, say ... we find that
even then, someone was wishing for
”an old-fashioned Christmas.” It
is then that we realize that the
celebration of the birth of Christ
has not changed greatly with the
passage of centuries. Basically,
Christmas is the same, year after
year. It is only the world and the
people who are not the same.
He may not admit it, but when
grandfather first began to raise
a family, he overheard his elders
musing over the changing Christ
mas customs and heralding the
approach to ’’completa commercial
ism” of the Yuletide celebration.
Even then they were worried.
No one can deny that Christmas
has been greatly “commercialized”
since the days of early America.
Yet, so has the entire nation. In
the days of our ancestors there
were none of the vast trading cen
ters and commercial marts that
we know today. Our very way of
life has been greatly changed with
modernization. Our holidays, and
Christmas is the principal one, have
managed to keep abreast
-Still, without reservation, Christ
mas is basically unchanged in Its
true meaning as a celebration of
the birth of the Christ-Child re
deemer, come to save the world.
No matter how great or how small
the presents piled beneath the
tree, each Christian heart never
ceases to remember that Christmas
is Christ’s day.
