from her wheel chair. The 14-year-

March—thanks to the treatment

CHRIST, THE PRINCE
OF PEACE
By Rev. O. C. Schreiner, Pastor
Trinity Lutheran Church,
Sealy, Texas
Jesus Christ, in honor
Whom Christmas is celebrated,
has many names; and every
last one of these names is full
of significance, and fits Him
most beautifully.
Take the name, “The Prince
of Peace” for example. Jesus is
indeed very fittingly called The
Prince of Peace, because He
brought about peace between
“Don't Let Death Take Your
Holiday!”
With that slogan as a keynote,
the National Safety Council an-
nounces a nationwide campaign
to check the huge annual Christ
mas holiday toll.
The Christmas-New Year holi-
day season is the most hazar-
dous single period of the year,
according to Council statistics.
In traffic accidents alone, three
times as many persons are kil-
led during a Christmas holiday

such as bad weather, slippery

New-Fangled Typewriter
Of 1873 on Display
The first typewriter manufact-
ured by E. Remington & Sons, a
new fangled gadget which Mark
Twain (Samuel Clemens) found
highly interesting is on display
at the Herkimer County Histori-
cal Association at Herksimer,
N. Y.
Invented by Christopher Soles
Latham, the Model One “Type-
writer” wrote only capital let-
ters and sold for $125. It was
made in 1873 and created a stir
at the Philadelphia Centennial
three years later.
Clemens first saw the typing
machine in Boston. In a letter
to his brother he said he was
“greatly taken with it.”
“It piles an awful stack of
words on one page and doesn’t
muss things or scatter ink blots
around,” Twain wrote.
God and sin-fallen man by pay-
ing for man’s sins with His own
life and blood. Even as many
of our American soldiers gave
up their life and their blood,
that we might have worldly
peace, so Jesus Christ, the Son
of God gave us His life and His
blood, that we might have spiri-
tual peace, or peace with God.
Take Tree Down
Soon to Avoid
Danger of Fire
The belief of having bad luck
from leaving your Christmas
tree up until New Year’s Day is
no superstition, declared Marvin
Hall, State Fire Insurance Com-
missioner.
Warning Texans to take down
their trees as soon as needles
start turning borwn or falling,
Hall said a week old’ tree was
the greatest fire hazard a per-
son could, have in his home.
“The day a tree is cut, it starts
slowly drying out,” A fresh cut
tree will not take fire any more
easily than would the evergreen *
Again, Jesus Christ is aptly
called the Prince of Peace, be-
cause He gives to everyone who
accepts Him as His Savior, peace
of heart and mind, and soul. The
peace which comes from the
knowledge, that all our sins

holiday season, and may its brightness glow

that just taking the tree to the =

SYNTHETIC JEWELS
PRODUCED IN U. S.
Star sapphires and star rubies,
the first ever made by man, have
been placed on exhibit at the
American Museum of Natural
History in New York City.
The synthetic gems, described
as the greatest achievement yet
in man-made gems, were creat-
ed by the Linde Air Products
Co. in Chicago and in Tonawan-
da, N.Y., in an oxy-hydrogen
flame from powdered aluminum.
Wartime necessity resulted in
development of the synthetic
jewels. Although such gems
have been manufactured in
Europe for 40 years, the process
is new to America. The com-
pany developed instruments for
planes and other war machines
and is now making them for the
jewelry trade.
A star ruby weighing about 10
carats was shown in comparison
with a natural star ruby of the
same size. The natural ruby
was worth $50,000 to $100,000,
whereas the artificial ruby was
valued in hundreds of dollars.
The difference between the two
was said to be indistinguishable
to a layman, although experts
can identify the synthetic jewel.
create in the public mind an
awarness of the special holiday
hazards, and to enlist voluntary
cooperation on the part of every
individual to hold accidents to a
minimum this Christmas.
The Council emphasized that
the campaign is the final effort
of .the Council to hold the 1947
traffic death toll below the 1946
total of 33,700.
At the end of the first nine
months of this year, there was
a small reduction in traffic
deaths—4 per cent—from the
same period of 1946. But the
final quarter of the year always
is the one with the most traffic
deaths.
“Christmastime is family time,
the season of reunion, pf joy in
one’s children, of drawing even
closer the most fundamental
ties that bind us together—truly
a season to be merry,” said Ned
H. Dearborn, of Chicago, presi-
dent of the Council.
“But it is a season to be wary,
as well. The tragedy of an ac-
cident becomes even more poig-
nant during the Yule season. It
takes only a little forethought,
a little extra care and often, just
a little extra courtesy to make
certain a Christmas celebration

window. It's Christmas! Join

ous holiday.

THE MACHINE EDGE
New Gadget That Makes
Change Smarter Than People
The vending machine people
recently came up with a new
gadget that is smarter than a
lot of humans. It can make
change without making a mis-
take.
The National Automatic Mer-
chandising Association revealed
the invention, among others, as
it prepared for its annual con-
vention in Chicago Dec. 14-17.
One outfit has a .new tooth-
brush machine for people who
go traveling and forget to put a
brush in their bag. You drop a
dime in a slot and out comes a
l-use toothbrush and enough
powder for a once over lightly
on the molars.
The shoe shine boys aren’t
going to like one invention. It’s
a coin-operated shoe shine busi-
ness. You stick your feet into a
couple of holes, drop a dime in
and stand still for a few sec-
onds. You’ve got a store-bought
shine when you back away.

have been forgiven, and that
God is our loving, reconciled
Father through Christ.
Jesus Christ is also very fit-
tingly called “The Prince of
Peace,” because He guides and
directs the steps of His follow-
ers in the way of peace. Every
Christian into ' whose heart
Christ has entered by faith not
only is a peaceful person inter-
nally, but also externally. He
will earnestly try to live in
peace with all men.
And finally, Jesus Christ is
very correctly called the Prince
of Peace, because He will lead
all those who will remain faith-
ful to Him until death into the
mansions of perfect and eternal
peace on high.
May all of us therefore ac-
cept Jesus Christ, The Prince of
Peace in true faith, and thus ex-
perience true peace and joy, not
only at Christmas time, but all
the days of our earthly pilgrim-
age, yea, throughout all eternity.
