L, Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1962 -- PAGE 6 'Tidings Of Great Joy Shall Be To is fitting, on Christmas Eve, that we turn again to the his- tory of Christ's birth -- the most inspiring of all stories, and one that never wearies in the re-telling. Here it is, in the superb prose of the King James version, and taken from the Gospels according to St. Matthew and St, Luke: Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophets, say- ing. Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Em- manuel, which being interpreted is, God with us... And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth. To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. ND the angel came in unto her, All People' dling clothes, and laid him in a manger ; because there was no room for them in the inn, ND there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall b to all pople. For unto you is born this day in the' city of David a Savior, 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 was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward 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 unto 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 this child. And all they that heard it won- dered at those things which were told them by the shepherds, But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and rape 8 * iii ae [Suosr UKE EVERY SNOWFLAKE "THAT COMES FROM ¢ HEAVEN, WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT 7 secrer'Leacen' | mt "THOM PS ON » REPORT FROM U.K. Drive-In Theatre Plan Starts. Fuss By M, McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- In Canada and the United States, open-air drive-in theatres are quite the accepted thing. They have been operating successfully for sev- eral years, and have become quite popular, So far as I can recollect, no strong objections have been raised to them over there, and they have not creat- ed any special problems in the districts in which they are located, So far, there is not a single open-air drive-in theatre oper. ating in Britain. And a proposal which has been made for the establishment and operation of the first one has raised such a storm of protest and objec- tions that there are some doubts as to whether it will be permitted to operate.

And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God. And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God shall. give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his king- dom there shall be no end... And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed... And all went to be 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 Behlehem (because he was of the house and lineage of David) to b taxed with Mary, his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomp- lished that: she should be delivered. And she brought forth her first- born son, and wrapped him in swad- T. L.

W when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem. Saying, Where is he that is born King of Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him... And lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 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 trea- sures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh... And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him. Other Editors' Views MOOD INDIGO (The Victoria Times) One of the more bizarre temper- ance proposals emerging from an Edmonton seminar on alcoholism the other day advocated the addi- tion of a chemical to liquor which would turn the drinker blue after the third drink. This' is a novel switch. The celebrant would not paint the town. _ He'd just be painted himself. The suggestion is probably quite as good as the invitation thrown out at the bibulous party, to 'stick around and get a red nose,' but look what it would do to traditional music. Farewell 'Sweet Adeline.' Bring on the 'Birth of the Blues.' Bible Thought Let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. -- I. John 3:18. Much is said about love which is only hypocrisy. Our spirit and our deeds are the test of true love. Dear Dr. Molner: A lot has been written about drugs. that are harmful to many pecple, but I have never read anything abot a drug dentists use in ex- tractions. Here's what hap- pened to me. The dentist shot some into my gum and my head started spinning. My heart was pounding so loud I just knew acvyone could hear it in the next room, and I blacked out. Why do dentists use that kind of drug?--A.P.I. I left out the name of the drug you mentioned. Using its name would worry millions of people for whom it would be completely harmless. Let's get this on the record: I'm totally dedicated to the principle that any new drug should be adequatsly studied before it-is put on the market. There's no argument about. that. As a matter of fact, the drug (thalidomide) which recently stirred up such a roaring con- troversy, is one of the few that has slipped by without its dan- gers being found. It slipped by in uErope. It didn't slip by in the United States. It never was approved for sale here. The Food and Drug Administration (specifically one courageous woman scientist) didn't feel that sufficient testing had been done. So the U.S, didn't see much of the drug except what was permitted for experimental use, or was "bootlegged"' from abroad. However, remember that any drug that is powerful is poten- tially dangerous. I «won't know a. single one which can't be harmful to someone who hap- pens to be sensitive to it. Such ordinarily predictable things such as Vitamin B ,sul- phur, penicillin, aspirin, co- deine, morphine and a host of others can't be given to some People without making them ill. There are cases of such useful drugs such as penici'tin causing death, and every year we lose quite a number of babies be- cause they eat a handful of as- pirin tablets which parents "didn't know were dangerous," Babies die from gnawing lead-laden paint from a window sill, Some adults die from a sin- gle bee sting. A field of ragweed can be fatal to a hay fever suf- ferer. Not often -- but it can happen. Let's face it. The world we live in isn't a fictional place where right always triumphs. If we use drugs, some are dan- gerous, and that .s why we in- sist on prescriptions for potent ones, The safe rule is to. have their use supervised by people trained to know how to look for the danger signs--meaning doc- tors, as well as pharmacists who do their good share of pro- tecting us all. Even perfectly ordinary and ' ous to certain people. Death can be as close as our front curb, our bathtub, or a Staircase. Or a spoiled sand- wich or some food that sets off allergy and acute asthma. The best of drugs can be dangerous, too. Our purpose is to study everything, guard against every danger. But abolish the 'drug that made you black out? No. Unless you also want to abolish everything else that is danger- ous, including food, bees, stairs, lead paint and even slippery sidewalks. Or automobiles? As to your question: you were unusually sensitive to the drug injected and the symptoms are typical. A few people have this sensitivity; millions do not. Re- mind any dentist or doctor in the future of this experience-- there is a substitute drug avail- able. Note to R.K.G.: No, we've never found any sure remedy for psoriasis.

It is to be more than just a drive- in theatre. Along with it there will be a 24-lane ten-pin bow- ing alley. The scheme for the drive-in theatre follows exactly the same lines as those in Canada and the United States, with space for 490 cars in rows, and with loudspeaker equip- ment available for each indi- vidual car. The rural council of Elstree, in which district it would be located, has been asked to give its approval to the scheme. But in the face of strong opposition from people living in the dis- trict, the council has had to defer giving a decision umil it has made an inspection of the site, and tried to measure the effects the theatre will have on surrounding property. First step in the campaigy against the project came in the form of a petition presenied to the Elstree Rural, Council by people living in adjacent streets in the Boreham wood area. The petitioners claim that the flickering projection lights and car headlights could cause annoyances. They fear that there may be excessive noise from the 400 loudspeakers which relay the sound to each car individually. And they also protest that there would be the annoyance of the noise of cars as they enter and leave the cinema. David Howell, the Elstree Rural Council's Surveyor, also Objection to the drive-in theatre, but for different rea- sons. He says: "The objectors also contend that children under 16 will be able to watch films with an X certificate, (These are films released for viewing by adults over 16 only.) There is also the danger that the car parking plots will be used by courting couples." In the final analysis, it is certain..that the scheme will have to go to the mimstry of housing for its approval or otherwise, and there is a strong likelihood that a public inquiry will be held to give the objec- tors the opportunity of express- ing their views.

Lucky the land which is so peaceful and prosperous that it can devote that wealth of gov- ernmental talent--at the esi- mated price of $11,000 an hour-- to such a trivial topic! But Canada itself stands at its own Nepisiguit Junction today. Will it puff off into the under- privileged backwoods of sur- rounding New Brunswick?

These 60 days have been devoted almost exclusively to partisan jockey. for position, with each po- al party seeking the most favorable posture from which it can dash off into the expected -- campaign with a flying start. There are several reasons for an underlying uneasiness among our politicians, The most unnerving to them is the disclosure last June that not one of our four national parties offered the average Ca- nadian voter what he wanted; this is now coupled with the guess that the A.C.V. is still not sufficiently impressed by the un- changed images of those parties to give any one a solid working majority in a new election. What purpose would be served, then, by dissolving the futile 25th and electing a new Parilia- meht? Then there is the problem of Personalities.

It was on the defensive through most of the fall session, which could have contributed. But even considering this a number of times it looked very sloppy in its handling of proce- dures and the conduct of busi- ness. NOT READY At the start of the session, for instance, it obviously wasn't ready for much business. After seven days of sittings it had only 11 bills before the House, while in the same pe- riod the preceding year there were nearly three dozen. Yet Premier Robarts did his best to put the blame for the slow pace on the Liberals. GALLUP POLL Nuclear Arms Favored By Canadian Majority (World Connie Reserved) THE CANADIAN OF FUBLIC OPINION While the Government hesi- tates on the subject of nuclear arms for Canadian forces, the general public reports five to three in favor of such weapons, Actually, a majority of men and women -- 54 per cent -- based just on what they know or have heard, say they be- lieve our troops should have nu- clear weapons. About a third-- $2 per cent--object to the idea. Despite minority move- ments, made up of both men and women who are against nuclear weapons being intro- duced, Canadian women, on the national average, are as much in favor of nuclear weapons for our armed forces as men-- and even more so. A smaller proportion of women than men are definitely against the pro- posal.

MEAT BAD | Then there was the handling of the meat inspection bill. The minister of agriculture, Hon. W. A. Stewart, treated this either very arrogantly, or very fearfully. When it was first introduced he went into hiding about it. And when he had to speak on it in the House he did his best to avoid controversy. He did not want it to go to the agriculture committee. ; And he. didn't have a word to say about what would happen to small abbatoirs--despite the fact that a year before he had declared that compulsory meat inspection would force them out of business. GREAT CHANGE Then there was the instance where the government presented the provincial auditor's esti- mates for approval before his annual report had been pre- sented, These things all looked bad. Perhaps they are not as bad as they seem. For they are in contrast to the regime of pre- mier Frost, and Mr. Frost was a master in the House. But they were sloppy.
