Our Lord was born in th* winter of 6-4 B.C. Th* MM i 10 the Tempi* at Jerusa- lem, when Jesus was twelve years old, i* thought to hav* occurred in April, A.D.. 8. Place. Th* annunciation to Joseph and Mary took place in Nazareth some seventy miles north of Jerusalem, where Jesus lived until H* was a mature man. Th* birth of our Lord took plac* in Bethlehem six miles below Jer- usalem. The circumcision ot Christ, and all events connected with th* Temple at the tim* of Hi* birth, took place in Jerusalem. To what place in Egypt th* holy family fled w* do not know. Adoration of Simeon 26. And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whos* nam* was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for th* consolation of Israel: and th* Holy Spirit was upon him. 26. And it had been revealed unto him by th* Holy Spirit, that h* should not se* death, befor* h* had seen the Lord's Christ. 27. And he came in the Spirit into the temple: and when the parent* brought in th* child Jesus, that they might d* concerning him after the custom of the law, 28. then h* received him into his arms, and bl**s*d God, and saith, 20. Now letUst tliou thy servant depart, Lord, According to thy word, in p*ac*| 80. For min* eyes hav* seen thy salvation, 81. Which thou has pre- pared before th* fac* of all peo- ples; 82. A light for revelation to the Gentiles, and th* glory of thy people Israel. 88. And his fa- ther and his mother w*r* marvel- ling at Mi* thing* which were spoken concerning him) 84. and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child U set for th* falling and th* rising of many in Israel) and for a sign which is spoksn against; 85. yea and a sword shall pierce thin* own soul; that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed." Nothing is known of this aged saint, except what Is here recorded by Luk*. H* is de- scribed simply as righteous and devout, as looking for the Mes- siah, and as moved by the Holy Spirit to believe that he would not di* b*for* h* had seen the 1 Messiah. Guided by the Spirit to the courts of the Temple, h* no sooner saw Jesus there, than th* words of the famous Nunc Dimit- tis rose to his lips. Whilst Mary was wondering at the meaning of such words, Simeon turned to her and foretold the diverse results of the mission of Jesus. A stum- bling block and an offense to some, it would be th* inspiration of a new life to others; and with her own blessedness would mingle anguish unspeakable. In the is- sue the deepest needs of many toula would b* excited and met and men's heats would be probed, enriched and satisfied. By what sign Simeon was taught of the spirit to recognize the child of Mary as Christ, we are not told. In his song Simeon doe* not pray for death, he thanks God for per- mitting him to see what many pro- phet* and kings had desired to see and were not permitted, the salvation he had pron ised; and having seen it, he aays that he in ready to go when God wills. The singular sweetness, the calm beau- ty of the song of Simeon has al- ways been recognized and for ag- es it has entered into evening ser- vice of the church. Both the An- glican and the Koman Catholic churches have appointed it as a hymn at vespers, teaching us to live every day at if we knew it to be our last; and embracing Christ in faith, to thank God for Him and to be ready in peace to depart in him. Growth of Jr. u. 89. "And when they had accomplished alt things that were according to the law of the Lor<l, they returned Into Galilee, to their own city Nazar- eth. 40. and .the child grew, and waxed strong, filled with wisdom: and the Grace of God was upon him." The Saviour of tho world, God's Son Incarnate, grew up physically in the most normal way, witli nothhip to mar his bodily deveopmeut. In the same way, he grew uji mentally, attain- ing more and more strength In mind, understanding and reason- ing. The young lad attainrd more snd more wisdom in the Biblical sense of IMP ripht knowledge f Got] and His .salvation, coupled with its application to life.

Never mind the rest of th* conversation th* answer Is In th* preceding sentence and that ans- wer Is: "What Is a Brass Hat?" A "Bra** Hat," paradoxical/ enough, may not bar* any bras* (fold braid or leave*) on hi* hat at all. Generally speaking, though, a Brass Hat U a senior officer on the Staff.

Aar time you want a name for a new baby, or a pup, or a colunvi, yo* describe It to your friends, ask tor th*lr suggestions, discard them all and choos* a nam* your- self. That'* what happened In tb't ca*. One suggestion offered was, "Your Army." True enough. It Is your Army and It's my Army sometimes w* don't lealize our ownership and responsibility as much a* w* should. But one or two publlsers thought that sound- ed too reminiscent of "My Day." to God in connectior with the sav- ing thoughts of God. A Normal Boy In Luke 2: 41-52 is the only account we have of any event be- tween th* early childhood of Jesus in Nazareth and His baptism, which probably took place at the ag* of thirty. This is probably th* first time that Jesus beheld th* city of Jerusalem. It may be that He went up every year there- after, but we do not know. And where would the Son of God be found? In the Temple of God, in th* midst of th* teachers, "both hearing them, and asking them questions." The entire text clear- ly Implies that Jesus did not know everything when he was twelve years of ag*. He was a normal boy. He grew in wisdom. At the same time, we do not believe there was any actual ignorance in the mind of Jeaus. He knew God perfectly as a boy of twelve. He also knew Him perfectly as a man of thirty. Furthermore, our Lord knew definitely at this time what He had come to earth to accom- plish, just as He knew definitely throughout His life the purpose for which God had sent Him. His heart directed Him into what should have been the holiest place In the City of Jerusalem, open to one not a priest, lly His conver- sation, He indicated that His life, even at this early ago, was dom- inated by the will of His Father. Nevertheless, though HP knew God, and knew Himself to be the Son of God, and the Messiah announced by the prophets, yet H* returned to Nazareth with His parents, and remained obedient to them as a perfect boy. So It followed several other sug- gestions lr to th* discard. Then, a few nights ago, together with a dozen and a half other shiv- ering reporters and cameramen, the Adjutant-General, the Chief ot th* Air Staff, some Air Force of- ficers and ground crews who have to brave the weather regardless of rain and sleet, I watched a trans- port aircraft deacend In the dark- ness at Ottawa. Out of the plan* stepped Defence Minister Ralston, back from England. I remember- ed tb* legend that even on a 45- mlnut* flight Colonel Ralston sits right down at a desk and works from start to finish of the trip. What he must have been work- Ing on this tlm* would be, obvious- ly, a speech to be made In the House of Commons, the opening of which he had missed, by the way, because of bad weather encounter- ed on his crossing from England. Forgetting new column.* and their veiatlous titles 1 decided I would go to the "House" when, a* th* Press Gallery men put it, "ilalston la up" and listen to th* kind of speeoh that Is prepared on a plane. I did. s.i, I noticed, did a num- ber of members who had been ab- sent from th* chamber until CoL Ralston started to speak. What h* said covered many coluuius In th* dally paper*. That U what h* said to you. Bait what be suld to me was contained In one paragraph ot Hansard h* gav* me a title for this column. Here Is tin quotation which followed a reference to th* work of civilian recruiting com- mittees. Their work, he said, would "bring to all our citizens a keener appreciation of the fact that the Army Is the Individual citizen's army, and not an outside organization of which tliey know nothing and care less." There was the title "The Indi- vidual Citizen'* Army," and her* eicept for one more brief note, ls your first column.

Canada Produces Most Aluminum Canada's production of alumin- um has increased five times sine* the start of the war, bringing her up from third to first place ar.'omr the producing nations of the world, John Bassett, jr., told the Royal Montreal Club at a lunch recently. Mr. Hassett said the United States would not at- tain the Dominion production fig- ure before March, 1942. Hcfore the war, he said, first place alternated between Ger- many and the United States. He observed, however, that Canada's output would not remain static when the U.S. regained premier production honors. Mr. Bafactt outlined the devel- opment of the aluminum industry on its present continent-wide scope, from the creolite sources of Greenland to the bauxite mines of British Guiana. In this connec- tion he noted the great develop- ment of the Saguenay district which only 1G years UKO was a farming area. Hydroelectric devel- opment in the Snguenuy had to- day reached 1,250,000 h.p. with u potential output of 1,750,000 h.p. Just before the war, its out- put was 750,000 h.p. Ball-Bearing Shells For Trench Mortars FOREIGN MINISTER Ball-bearing sheila for trench mortars, enabling them to be fired on a flat trajectory instead of having: to be lobbed high in the air, are outstanding among new patent* announcc-d by the U.S. Patent Office. They urc the in- vention of General Amos A. Fries, former chief of the Army's Chem- ical Warfare Service, Bay* Science Service. China moves toward evn closer co-operation with the Unit- ed States with elevation of T. V. Soong, above, to foreign minis- try. Soong is a loirg-tim* good friend of America. Hitherto, trench mortar fir* has had to be conducted at high angles 46 degree* i r more b- eause of the friction offered by the shell as it was dropped into the barrel. Weapons of this typ* are loaded from the muzzle; th* shell carries its propelling charg* in a cartridge attached to its base, which is fired by a fixed pin at the bottom of the tube. By elim- inating much of the friction with ball bearings, General Fries states, it now becomes possible to slid* the shell down the tube at a very low angle, permitting the weapon to be used for direct instead of indirect fire. Low-trajectory or direct fir* is desirable, especially for action against tanks, rapidly moving troops in the open, and pillboxes with overhead protection but open firing ports which cannot be Af- fectively reached by high-angl* fire. 10 Rules On How To Save On Tires 27,000,000 Motorists In Unit- ed States Told How To Save Rubber The Office of Poduction Manage- ment of the United States has ask- ed tlie country's 27.000,000 motor- ists to save rubber by using street cars and puhllc buses where pos- 8lue, and to hold pleasure driving to a minimum. The defense agency suggested that neighbors pool their automo- biles, using only one to go to work, Instead of soveral. and urged house- wires to carry home small puck- ugf* instead of asking the mer- chant to deliver them. Where cars must be used, Ul'M asked observance of 10 rules to make tires last longer: 1. Have worn tires retreaded in- stead ot buying new ones; the cost U usually about ii iir that of a new tire, and wl!l give about 80 I>er cent as much wear. 2. Cut out higli speeds; tlre will lust twice as long at 40 miles un i i.:- act at 60. I. Inflate tires weekly to rocom mc.K.od levels. Never let pressure fall more Mian thre<? pounds below recommended mlnlmums. 4. Don't stop short or make Jack- rabbit starts. 5. Avoid striking curbs, road holes, and rocks. 6. Check wheel alignment twice a >ear. A tire one-half Inch out of lino will he dragged sideways 87 feet out of every mile. 1. HeiKilr all is, leaks and breaks promptly; delay may cause li.cn i that cannot be repaired. 8. C "3 wheel positions every 5.1HHI miles. 9. Aiwa. get the tire made to tit tho rim of your car; check with your g-irafto if you are not sure wluil sire tire you require. 10. Don't spc-ed around curves.

RADIO REPORTER DIALING WITH DAVE: When United Press in th* Un- ited Statei and British United Press in Canada flashed the eight p.m. bulletin Monday night Dec. 22nd, that Prime Minister Win- ston Churchill wa in Washington, a nation was electrified; and th holiday season had its radio in- terest keyed to the highest pitch in history, as a result. The Christ- mas Eve tree-lighting ceremony Friday's Churchill speech to th* U.S. Congress, and the regular Empire broadcast by Hi* Majesty the King on Christmas day were many of the highlights. Christ- mas day itself was darkened fox Canadians by the news of the sur- render of Hong Kong.
