GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST

By Ruth Taylor

"And behold In tha t country tliero were sliopherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over, their Hock by night."

Not to t h e rulers or the land, not to the proud of hear t , but lo the humble of spirit did the heavenly liost appear on t h a t Night of Nights. I t was the simple shepherds keeping watch on a ro(;ky hlll-slde in Judea wlio first heard the a n ­gel song "Glory to God In the h igh­est and on earth, peace, nood will to men."

"Olory to God"—is a paean of praise to the highest, an acknow­ledgement of Him who is all good­ness. "Glory to God"—Is not mere lip service, but a cry of exaltat ion, a full cognizance t h a t r ight and justice, t r u th and love m u s t p re ­vail over the forces of evil.

'And on ear th Peace"—this does not mean a peace ot servile acqui­escence' of compromise, or appease­ment/ but a peace founded on j u s ­tice, a peace of honor, a peace of joy, a peace of good will to all men. Not to any one group was the promise made—not to any one creed, any one race,- any one n a ­tionality, bu t to and tor all men.

This is t h e lesson of the angel's spnB.''Only as v/o'•give glory and

OOKORESSIONAL R l t p E S S

Al though when Congress con­vened liist Scptoinber I ' l wc en­t e r t a ined hopos' t h a t the princi­pal i tems affecting indation w o u l d ' b e resolved' into definite shajie' by tiiiip of the Chri.<itnias recess, we arc now jus t lis glad to sod the Congressmen going homo for thri'o weeks! before tak ing 11-ual notion. ;

Pop there is no question t h a t the fight to save the Ainorican people from soiiriug costs of liv­ing; and the postwar world from the< frictions that inflation engcn-dcrsj lias been dotei-ioratihg. '

Pe rhaps the greatest failure by Congress and', indeed, by liiany pr iva te cit izens; is the failure to sec the l ight aga ins t inflation- as a single bilttle; I n general; ' this hat'llC' inclildcs iin effort to draw oft" bxocss pih'chasing power in taxes aiul saviiigs, mea.sures to control ' wages and stops to Its pr ices . These ai'o all one effort, b u t tho Congressman from- the "West' who hears" the catt le people or oil men pleading a ehsC for higl ier pr ices is liable to th ink pr imnr i ly in those t e rms ; while the Eas t e rn ' Congressman, unde r pressure from' tlie potent unions for h igher wages, is inclined to act in tha t 'd i reo t ion .

THE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS

Holiday and Holy Day, Christ­m a s is more than a yule log, holly or tree. I t is more t h a n na tura l •good cheer and the giving of gifts Christmas is even moi'e t h a n the feast of the home and ot children t h e feast of love and friendship. It is more t h a n all of these together Christmas Is Clirist, the Christ of justice arid chaijty, ot fi:ecdom and peace.

The Joy of Christmas is a joy that war cannot kill; tor i t is the joy of the soul and the soul cannot die. Poverty cannot prevent the joy of Christmas; for it is a joy no ea r th ­ly- wealth can give. Time cannot wither Chrlsttaas, for it belongs to eternity. The world cannot shat ­t e r It, for I t Is union with Him who has overcome the world. . The leaders and peoples of n a ­t ions mus t understand these fun­damental t r u th s it we are ever to have freedom and peace. Unless charters and pacts have a divine

pride or selfish desires, but .to Him to whom wo owe our first alle-glanoo can' wo a t ta in peace on ea r th for all mankind. Only as we let tho Eternal Goodness, the all pwerful, all wise, all loving Fa ther of all mankind, rule our lives, can we have good will for all m e n t to all' men.

If and' when we do this, then like the shepherds keeping watch under the s tars t l iat night long ago, we too may hear the herald angels s ing: "Fear not ; for behold I bring you good tidings of grea t joy; which s h a l l be to all people. For un to you is born t h i s ' d a y in the city of David, a Savior which is Christ tho Lord."

"And suddenly there was with the angel a multi tude ot the hea­venly hos t praising God and say­ing, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace, good will toward men' ."

sanction, unless "God is the P a r a ­mount Ruler of the world," then again and again, as the waves up ­on the shore, must ca tas t rophe follow catastrophe. ' Not unti l men lay aside greed, hat red, pride and the ty ranny ot evil pa.sslons, to travel tho road tht^t began a t Be th­lehem, will the S tar ot Chris tmas peace illuminate the world. Christ­mas Is the Birthday ot freedom, for It is only the following of Christ t ha t makes men free.'—By Francis J . Spellinan, Archbishop of New York.

Dear Mothers and Dad.s:

I am writing this letter to you, directly, taccaitso I am one of the comparative few of the millions of your sons and daughters , who are in tho a rmed forces with time to write about such - unimportant things as our right to Vote for the man who we will call our comman-dcr-ln-ciUef until this war is t e rm­inated .successfully.

Lets face the facts:' •''John E. Rankin of Mississippi has t r i ­umphed easily over the seven mil­lion of us. Hit t ing us a t will, we weren't even able to strike back. For when a gny Is diving out of the clouds a t BOO MPH on the tall of a J a p Zero, cheap politics has no place In his thoughts . When a n in­fantry man charges Into the cross fire ot Jer ry machine gun fire he is too busy ducking lead • to write a m a n like Rankin about his routine evasion of the Service Mans right to vole a federal ballot. When a medical oltlcer uses blood plasma to save a young Marine whose name might well be Rankin, Connolly, Bailey, McKeller or By-rt. he hasn ' t thne to detcrniine wnelner this blood was drawn fro'%'-*,he veins ot an Ols t len , Percy /apissitelsteln.- A, boat load of merchan t marines cart ing hundreds of thousands of hlgU-test gasoline across the vast Pacific or Atlantic are ' far too busy watching for sudden torpedoes to take t ime out to write Rankin. If they had time they might well tell him about the three hundred men in the boat next to theirs who will never vote again. For they were blown into t iny atoms and the odor of their burning flesh was carried on the winds tor over fifty miles. "Don't worry, Rankin, they won't vote again, ever."

T lmt sentry s tanding guard at an ammuni t ion dump, h e is far too occupied to light back a t Rankin ot Mississippi. How about the kids, flesh out of boot camps—hghtlng those yellow sneaks in the Pacihc and a t the same t ime so seasick they haven ' t been ablo to keep any­thing on thelf s tomachs for days. Don't worry, Rankin; seasick men .can^t fight Japs a n d tlie likes of you. So when they vomit and die they do so fighting the greater of two evils. This is to say nothing ot our other sailors, soldiers, nurses and mar ines who have been washed up on every beachhead we have ever established. They can ' t vote, can they, Rankin?

'Let's sum It up , every dead ser­vice m a n or woman is one vote tha t Rankin doesn't have to fear. But Mothers and Dads not nearly enough of us have died. So now they are out to gag the vote ot the living service men and women. However tho worst tale has its Ijrlghtcr side. We who flglit s tand to lose our r ight to vote; But we turn to you who love us—our Mothers, Fa thers , Sisters, Brothers, Aunts and Uncles, Wives and sweethearts—you can vote, your vote shall be our vote, you ou tnum­ber us ten to one. So go to the polls and- vote for us as you know we would vote. For a commander- in-chief who is winning the War for us.

We will try to wade through the S ta te rcdtape as besf we can and aid m some small way to the de feat of every Rankin and his ilk.

Even now in the Eleventh hour while we of the Armed Forces are winning on the battle field we face defeat ot our r ights of a citizen in Washington—to you a t home we say, "Muster your strengtli , don' t let us down." Write your congress­m a n and save this batt le of lie homefront for us.

tho beauty, wonderment and joy or Christmas. Above the dreadful thunder ot cannons, the shriek of bursting bombs and the grim chat ­t e r of machine guns, the song of the angels over Judea 's hills still rises clear and undefeated at Chrlstmastide.

Ot course, the Christmas event cannot always be the same tor everybody. Time and change have their way with vis in mind and body, but time and change cannot destroy Chris tmas or loosen the hold t ha t the anniversary has upon men and women and Utile children. Moreover, Christmas in war days is a rebuke to the weapons of the flesh and postulates anew the com­ing of an era when good will shall prevoll.

Gh ristmas! — Fifty Years Ago

Frdm the East Haven Comet

"Don't get burned . . . look out for wax on the rug," Mother warned on Christmas day—fifty years ago. For the pudgy candles on t h e branches of the Christmas tree t h a t filled half the room with its bulk and all with its splendor were lit only for a few minutes on t h a t "day of peace" ' to keep It so, as candies weren't as safe as our elec­tric, bulbs.

But lei, us turn back the clock to t h a t morning and relive t h a t Chris tmas day. We children, still in our nightclothes, scurried down­stairs as soon as we lieard Papa shake down the base burner and build a fire in the kitchen range. T h e cold floors made o u r f e e t t in ­g l e ' a n d We', fought to be ' f i r s t to warm our toes and see v.'hat San ta had . left.

hair, a real iron cook stove, red mittens, new fur muffs, story books, hair bows, and muslin pett icoats; for the boys Grandfather had made two beautiful sleds with iron runners, and there were also lovely kni t ted scarves, tin soldiers, a fort, and hand carved wooden animals, as well as nuts, fruit, and candy for all.

Then Papa would light the can­dles on the tree. How bright and glittering the whole room seemed, but Mother was so afraid some^ thing would catch on fire, or t h a t some wax would fall on her new Axmlnster rug.

But t^hen we'd smell the pan^ cakes and there was a mad scram ble as we washed, dressed, and breakfasted, for with the comple­tion of liiese "duties" we set oti lor Grandmother 's house and Christ­mas. Dinner. Jake a n d Pete, our horses, pulled the s traw filled sleigh and they rang the bells on their harnesses as merrily as if eVen they knew it was Christmas Day..

Then there was t h a t endless wait 'til dinner time. When we became too anxious, the Aunts would fix us bread, butter, and sugar which just seemed to whet our appetites as t he smells of turkey and its fixings floated in through the swinging doors. But flnally the time would come. The whole- family, mothers, fatliers, uncles, aunts , and cousins were all seated a t one mammoth table. It was beautiful and the food was abundant .

At one end ot the table sat Grandfather, and before him was the huge roast turkey waiting to be carved. And there were giblet gravy, potatoes, baked ham, pickled beets, stuffed peppers, turnips, and pa r ­snips to go with It. And to top it off, apple and pumpkin pie, steamed pudding, nuts, fruit, and hot coffee. The coft'ee we loved to watch Grandfather drink from his mus­tache cup. Then the afternoon flew by as v;e all sat contentedly in the parlor exchanging gifts and talk. Too soon it was time to go home. V/e cllmed into the sleigh, and Jake and Pete, under no one's guidance, took us straight home. Then sprawling in bed, t ired and happy as Papa fixed t h e fires, we fell asleep to dream of Chrlstmases yet to come.

A program devoted to Christmas music was given Monday evening a t the December meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association. Mrs. Clifford Peter.son, Mrs. Paul Rlnk-er and Mrs. Ar thur Peterson, mem­bers of Union Chapel choir sang two groups ot carols, accompanied by Mrs. Edi th Davics Jones a t the piano.

For A Brilliant Future Rev, Joseph Whi te Says T h a t Along W i t h Bi r th of Now Year Comes

Bir th Of New Hope F o r Las t ing Peace—Cannot Krase Memories Of Year J u s t Pas t .

k

At this season of the year the Re­view asks one ot Brantord 's pas­tors to write a message for Its readers .

Pev. Joseph White, pastor ot the Church of Christ, Stony Creek was selected this year.

His message, "The Year of Our Lord, 1944" Is: '

"Father time rapidly swoops down upon all the remaining days of nineteen hundred and forty three with undiminished strokes ot his scythe. Soon the very last stroke of the t i red-year will strike all our hopes and fears of '43 into un­touchable! yesterdays. At t h a t last Instance, when yesterday, today, a n d ..tomorrow meet, the death groans of the old year will be drowned out by shouts of welcome to ; the. new little fellow of '44. If the._year past could be done so simply as tha t , how easy life would be. Tlie strokes of a scythe, the ringing ot a bell, the unearthly noises of the New Year's night, can symbolize the hurr ied flight of an­o the r year, but these things can never ' e ra se the memories of the year , just past .

"Memories of thousand bomber air raids raining death and de-structioti-upon thO; cities ot a n a ­t ion which has chosen t h e hard way t6~learn peace. Memories; of m e n departing for camps or>baslc trainincuyiis»,DQrts ot ombarkiiAloo' wi th the b^avc, but misty-eyed lovfed ones waving goodbye. J lem-orles of our rat ion program draw­ing Item after item into its power unt i l we cease to question when a new item is put upon the list. Mem­ories of increased taxation, of colder l^omes, and aging automo­biles. Memories of a year of Warl

"But memories of the past do not blot out brilliant hopes tor the fu­tu re . Along with the bi r th of a New Year comes the bi r th of a New Hope for lasting peace. The people who live in today's darkness see evidence of a new great light; ot freedom. Leaders ot tour great n a ­t ions representing three fourths of the world's population agree in war , and more Importantly, agree i n ' p e a c e measures. Nothing can s top the united power of all peace loving nations now. Together, they shal l bring their small flickerlngs to touch oft a" new international flame ot freedom's holy light,

"Before the coming year is done, each nation ol the world, under God, may be able to welcome peace a n d freedom to its borders, there to stay tor generations to come. God grant us the wisdom and gui­dance necessary to make this a memory for the year of our Lord, 1944." •

Mrs. Irving Jacocks, Miss Nancy Jacocks and MlSs Dorcas Jacocks of South Main Street left Monday for Winfleld, Kansas where the lat tor will be married on Friday to Lt. Kenneth Mat tern ol Cheshire.

First selectman James J. Sulli­van has announced receipt of a letter from Secretary J o h n T. Mc­Carthy of the State TraHlc Com­mission, reporting on a survey ot traffic conditions In Saltonstall Parkway prompted by a request from the East Haven authorities, after citizens ot the Saltonstall area had 'pe t i t ioned for a pedes­trian control light at the Estelle Road intersection. McCarthy in his letter says tliat the tacts au found in the survey would not call for approval of the light asked for. Ho said t ha t the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Signals says tha t the minimum requirements are for 300 pedestrians crossings an hour for six hours per day and at least 750 vehicles an hour for tho same period.

A study at the intersection, he points out, shows conditions there do not in any way approximate the figures indicated. One morning hour, 8 to 9 showed 139 westbound and 92 eastbound cars or a total of 231 using the parkway. Four cars entered from Estelle road, two ot them not observing tho stop sign, and two buses entered south boUnd. Two adults crossed norther ly from Estelle road, five adults and one child crossed the parkway nor thward one block east ot Es­telle. road to board the bus. Two adul ts crossed the parkway from south to . norths*.midway , bewjteen Estelle rbaa ahdi'-tlio- ' next4 block'] east and - instead of using the available aidev/alk on the north side ot the parkway walked on the traveled portion to Estelle road and boarded the bus a t t h a t point. No school children crossed the park­way at Estelle road. Twelve chil­dren were observed using the side­walk on the north side of the park­way. These walked to the highway bridge and then crossed south over the parkway and down the em­bankment through a vacant por­tion ot land presumably to High Street .

Mr. Sullivan said t h a t state high­way engineers are to prepare a layout for the proposed pedestrian bridge at Farm River and t h a t further information concerning this Improvement will be available in the near future.

"Lack of fats was one of the causes of the downfall ot Germany In the last war. One of the results of Japan ' s conquests was to de­prive us ot the billion pounds of oils and fats we formerly imported each year from the Orient, Fortu­nately, enough fats can be recov­ered in our kitchens to make up our deficit", Mr. Nelson continued,

"We must have at least double tho quant i ty of used fats we have been getting from households." Mr. Nelson stated, "I t every housewife will stive and turn In all possible amounts , the problem can bo solved overnight.

"I am conlldent American vyo-mon will not fall us In this Impor­tant Job the Government has on-trusted to them." Mr. Nelson con­cluded, "The adding ot mea t and fat rat ion points as "payment In kind" for used household fats seems like such a fair and effective arrangement t ha t it should bring the degree of success needed in this vital war program."
