life of success? Every child must be by the way of Calvary,

,born to live.

There was one exception to this, however. 2000 years ago the world heralded the birth of a. Babe—and quite humanly many thought of Him in terms bf being a King. And rightly so, because to this end was He born. Scripture predicted this. Unlike other babes, however, this One was destined to accomplish His mission and achieve His success by dying instead of by living. The story of His life is a marvelous ac-

Bible also says in John 1:12, ‘But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God ...”

It is good to celebrate the birth of the King. It is of prime

member that He won His victory on the cross at Calvary. He died to pay for our sin and de-

feat the devil.

If we would follow Him, It

acknowledging that we are sinners and receiving Him as Savior and Lord. If we do not receive Him dying for us, then we cannot know Him as Lord

and King.

Reserve Plan To Congressmen WASHINGTON UPI — Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara may have to submit his Army Reserve-National Guard merger plan to Congress without an endorsement from the Pentagon’s Reserve Forces Policy Board. At its first meeting on the subject, the policy group was reported to have divided 6 to 6 on the question of approving the massive merger of Reserve forces outlined by McNamara 10 days ago. The policy board, which met all day Tuesday, is established by law but is empowered only to submit recommendations. Its chairman is John Slezak. Illinois industrialist. Six members were absent Tuesday. McNamara’s aides have conceded that he will require congressional approval of the funds needed to enlarge the National Guard and eliminate the present Army Reserves, but they are confident the approval will be granted. McNamara announced Dec. 12 his budget proposals will include an increase from 400,000 to 550.000 in National Guard authorized strength and elimination of the 300,000-man organized Army Reserves. The Reservists would be given a chance to join the Guard.

IVesfern States Hit By Floods By United Press International Heavy rains brew’ed more trouble for flood-stricken California and Oregon. New danger spots developed in Nevada and Idaho. Unusually mild temperatures melted snow packs in sections of the Rockies and triggered wild Chinook winds that caused damage in Colorado. Thick fog seeped eastward from the Mississippi River, making driving hazardous. Snow and bitter cold swept across the northern tier of states. The weather bureau said rainstorms would continue to roll in off the Pacific across California and Oregon, where at least seven persons were dead in the worst flooding in years. Highways were torn asunder by runaw’ay streams and rivers, entire towns were evacuated or isolated and thousands of persons were forced from their homes. The rising Truckee River caused Reno, New, to be declared an emergency area during the night. Half of the towm’s bridges across the Truckee were closed and a suburb was isolated by mudslides and floodw T aters.

WASHINGTON UPI — A report on the federal government’s higher ranking civil service workers recommends that President Johnson consider creating an elite corps of ^ top civilian w’orkers, similar to the military officers’ corps. The report, by David T. Stanley of the Brookings Institution. said that by giving a top employe pay based on a rank and duties identified with his organization, the government could make flexible use of one executive in many depart-

ments and agencies.

Stanley’s study, “the higher | civil service,” concludes that there is no “alarming need for 1 reform.” But, he said, if quality is to be maintained in high ! government levels, the presi!dent, the agency heads and the personnel executives “m u s t keep pushing, moving, developing and innovating to improve

this vital resource.”

Stanley studies the personnel records and interviewed some of the government’s 16.000 employes making between $16,460 and $24,500 annually. He found that the average top civil servant is a college man in his 50s and has spent 20 years in the same federal department advancing six or seven times until moving into the large, private office. Generally, all are dedicated, happy with the pay and satis-

fied with their work.

Most of the engineers and scientists in the upper govern-

ment brackets get their satisfaction from the challenges, scope and variety of their duties. They value chances for achievement and independence. Many key administrators draw satisfaction from the sense of public duty and contributing to public policy. Most had one big gripe — "government complexity.” It includes slow procedures, multiple clearance, too much paperwork and duplication of effort.

Dock Walkout Talks Continue GALVESTON, Tex. UPI— James J. Reynolds, a top Labor Department strategist under presidential orders to stall a dock strike on the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, meets again today with shippers and longshoremen. He says the situation is “fluid.” Reynolds, an assistant secretary of labor, calls himself a "catalyst” in the talks. He met wtih both sides Tuesday and planned more sessions with both today before returning to Washington. “We hope we will have defined the issues a little more clearly so that both sides can proceed with collective bargaining,” Reynolds said.
