R. Vance Hartke, Democratic senaior-elect, turned over the city government of Evansville to J. William Davidson, former city controller, on Dec. 30. 0- 0 Many Americans are sharing their Cnristmas with needy in .jnany parts of the world. This can be done by sending $1 to CARE, 660 Front Avenue, New York, 16, N.Y. Your $1 will deliver 22 pounds of food to a needy family. CARE is presently engaged in a drive for funds to send 3 million parcels this winter. o o—— The “costly palace" charge against local school boards, made in an article reprinted a few months ago by Reader’s Digest, has brought forth some interests ing statistics, based upon the Dodge Reports, the Bible of the building trades. These reports show that in most modern construction, the cost per square foot for new schools is considerably below that for other public and and private buildings in the same community. A number of concrete examples are given by the National school boards association in a recent open letter to the Reader's Digest. o—o— Parents who want to do their best for their children may compare their experience with suggestions made by experts. Although these experts have done scientific research on the subject, however, parents should not be overconcerned with differences in methods. Each individual child and each individual parent must face, time and again, unfamiliar situations. While it is comforting and useful to learn what others have done in similar situations, parents must remember that loving and emotionally well-adjusted ■ parents usually do the right thing • ntaneously. o c Gov.

is just a shade under the most optimistic hopes for tax collecting during the two years before the next session of the legislature. Since the solons themselves may be expected to propose a few measures, taxes will have to be raised, as deficit spending if not allowed by our state constitution. It seems likely that a parimutuel bill would be the most painless method of raising taxes for the general public. Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Kentucky have similar laws already in effect. o o Was Christ born on Dec. 25, 1 A:D.? There is abundant evidence that he wasn’t, part of it coming from the Bible itself. In the book of St. Luke it is stated that shepherds were abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night, when Christ was born. It is so cold in December in Judea that shepherds take their sheep into caves or sheepfolds at night. Only in the warm months of summer and fall do they keep them in the fields at night, since they are too warm to feed during the daytime. Also, the assumption that Christ was born in the year 1 A.D. is based on the Julian calendar of Dionysius Exiguus, the Roman monk. This calendar was constructed in the sixth century A.D. St. Matthew relates that Jesus was born in the days of Herod the king. If Herod lived approximately two years after Jesus was born, this must have occurred at least 6 8.C., since Herod died in the year 4 8.C.! St. Luke connects the birth with a decree from Cesaer Augustus to enroll for a tax census. Quirinius was then governor of Syria. This happened between 9 and 6 B.C. St. Luke, the most careful writer of the Bible, reported that Jesus was about 30 years old during the 15th year of the reign of Tiberius. This again indicates the year 6 B.C. The important thing, of course, isn’t the date we commemorate the Lord's birth—it is the spirit in which we commemorate it.
