We read where no less an authority than a publication of the British Medical Association maintains that a Shiny pate is proof of masculine virility. . t Baldness, we understand, is something of a masculine accomplishment with ISO men shedding his thatch to every woman forced to go wig-hunting. However, if a man reachesthe?* half-century mark iji age with a good crop of hair, it’s . I a solid bet that he will be buying yromtjs the rest of his life. Indian,s,. for some reason, never seem to go bald, but then, they have a long history, of taking hair rather than losing it. Baldness and virility notwithstanding, we .wonder how the ex- ° perts explain Sanpson’s physical eclipse when he left his locks on Delilah’s cutting rooiii floor? \' f , You may wonder about Samson too . . . and after one visit to DECATUR'GIFT CENTER you’ll surely wonder how you got along before you made Our acquaintance down here at 164 S.

Give Go Ahead To Color Television Permission Given By FCC Thursday WASHINGTON, UP—Television networks and manufacturers went full-speed ahead today with plans for ushering in the era of color TV. CBS expects to be presenting its regular programs in color by the end of 1954. NBC said its plans to convert to color are “well underway” and that it will hold color pretnieries in the next few months. The go-ahead signal came late Thursday when the federal communications commission, after long delay, approved a compatible color system that will enable millions of viewers to receive h pictures in black and white without modifying their present sets. Minutes after the ruling, color images flashed out over major TV networks. ,At 5:32. p. m., EST, NBC signed on the air with red. "blue and green chimes. At 6:15 p. hi., CBS presented a 15-minute. variety show in color. c ijhe only viewers who saw the electronic hues were engineers and network officials. Viewers around the nation still received the images in black and white. •\ The Radio Corporation of America said it will begin producing color sets in small quantities in about six months. Mass production will not eome for at least a year, it said. CBS-Colqmbia said it will be turning out receivers in volume by next June. But Dr. W. R. G. Baker, chalr- ' man of an industry-wide commit- ! tee that developed the new standi ards for the FCC, said the first sets will cost around SI,OOO arid \ probably come with only 12% inch screens. —— K Two Decatur Students In College Glee Club Two Decatur young men, John S.

Prince of Peace Lesson for December 20, 1953 1— • \ , • ~"V 1 will is for a warless world. No one can read the prophets and make anything else out of it God’s will is for peace in this world. Peace among angels. yes. peace beyond death, yes of course; but that is not the whole of it. God’s will is for, peace among men, peace on this good green earth. So long as there are wars, we know that God’s will and intention for mankind is being resisted. God wants a warless world. i W'- • • Leader To Peace One of the many names for Christ is "Prince of Peace.” a title given by a prophet long before his birth. It will be worth our while to look into that title this week USSMB and see what exactly is meant by it. for it is much more than a striking phrase. The word "Prince” has gj nothing necessarily to do with royalty. though it of- JH ten does. Its literal meaning is lead- Foreman er. captain, chief. As Prince of Peace therefore, our Lord is Leader of Peace. But. again, the title may mean more things than one. Let us start with "Leader to Peace." In this sense, Chrisf is one who points out the road to peace, shows mankind what peace means. As the Bible uses the word, peace does not mean sirriply the ebbing of a battle-tide, the kill between attacks. It is not a negative word, it is positive. The kind of peace to which Christ points is not mere indifference, it is based on love and good-wiU. For instance, as these lines are the United States is at peace with Canada; it - is also at peace with, a dozen other countries that could be mentioned. But while it is barely possible that war might break out with any nation, it is probably less ' likely to break, out with Canada than with countries with which we have less in common and for whose people our own people have a much weaker affection. True peace is based on mutual good will. Jesus taught us much more about peace; for example*his reference to "peace-makers." But we must pass on. \ ' • • • Leader Os Peace As Prince of Peace our Lord Is also Leader of Peace. That is to say. where Christ is known and honored (not in name only, but < actually known and loved), there \ peace is far more likely to be than where He is not known. It is sometimes said that civilization breeds wars. No doubt it does; but barbarism breeds even more. Savage tribes are in an almost perpetual state of warfare. It is also pointed out that Christian nations are - often warfaring. On the other hand It may be asked: Where do you find a really Christian nation? Who starts the wars? Are the "Christian" nations the aggressors or do they have to rise to the defense against aggression? One thing is certain. Before the coming of Christ, wars were taken as a matter of course. No nation ever bothered to apologize or explain their fights. Since Christ’s coming, and more than ever in recent years, nations that go to war have a bad conscience about it Piles of "white papers" and the like are put out to show why it was necessary to declare war. At least, Christian nations are aware that the road of war is never the right road except as a last resort • • • Leader By Peace Another meaning that may fairly be given to "Prince of Peace" is "Leader by Peace." That is to say, the leadership and Lordship of Christ is never one of coercion. . jpiere have been leaders by the sword; there have been leaders by lies, for the human race is all i too easily misled; there is one and ! only one Leader of men who will reign only through love. At Christinas time men often ; wonder why it is that the angels' I song has never been fulfilled. Peace has not come on earth to i stay. Peace is always pictured as a bird poised for flight The full reign of the Prince of Peace seems to be so slowly coming. i.The reason to that unlike all earthly leaders, Christ will have none in his kingdom who to not there by bis own free will. God could no doubt beat the world into silent submission in a very short time. It to not beyond the power of the Almighty to bring every human war to an end. _

The Best Gift For Your Child (By Mrs. J. R. Meadows) What fond things parents imagine for their children. Only those who have tucked a sleepy little girl into bed, or have watched the restless, inquiring mind of a boy develop, can know the longings and the plans that fill a parent’s mind. And yet, so many of us must qualify even our most reasonable and modest hopes with a big “If” or a forbidden "Perhaps.” Don’t realize that your boy and your girl are walking in your footsteps? Don’t you know that what you as 'parent do right now will have its influence on your child as long as they live? You want them (to be honest, truthful and fair. Ypu realize that the spiritual should be developed in them as well as the physical. Where can they learn these virtues better than in the home, church and Bible school? ’ Lessons learned in youth will never leave them. Give your children a real Christmas gift—the best moral foundation. They will go to church most willingly if you go also. Take yo l ur children to church.
