—Gemini 7 land next to that carrier. ‘•If every system is go. he's goin’ And he wants to go, he doesn't want to come back. If j that fuel cell is ‘go.’ he's goin.” , The carrier German referred to is the Wasp—the prime recovery ship which Thursday I picked up Gemini 6 pilots Wal- j ter Schirra and Thomas Staf- j ford an hour after they splash- j ed from the 25- hour. 15-minute; flight that produced the firstever space rendezvous with Gemini 7. As for the Gemini 7's problems, a reporter suggested at the midnight news conference that Borman was “less optimis-; tic” about it than ground crews

were.

“I don't think it’s a matter^f being optimistic or pessimis-. tic,” Flight Director Eugene Kranz said. “I think it’s a matter of our having tons of data that he doesn’t have. We have every confidence that this fuel cell will be all right.” Asked whether Borman might be overruled by Ground Con- 1 trol if he decided to come down ! early, Kranz said: ”1 don’t know. That’s a very good question. I don’t think he would be overruled. That would be my opinion." Early Thursday evening. Flight Director Christopher C. Kraft had reviewed the Gemini fuel cell problem with his two colleagues who handle the console in his absence, Kranz and j John Hodge. Afterward, Gem- ! ini Control reported:

Bible Thought I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16. The gospel of Christ is the power of God. It is the power of grace winch covers sin. It is the power of love to break down hate. It is the power of truth to overcome error. It is the power of hope to overcome despair. Personal And Local News Practice for the children’s program Sunday will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Beech Grove E.U.B. Church.

Mail Deluge

WASHINGTON UPI — A last minute avalanche of Christmas mail is threatening to clog the U. S. Postal System. Postmaster General Lawrence F. O’Brien said Thursday he j fears such a jam because an * unusually low number of Christ- j mas cards and packages has I been mailed so far. He said if remaining mail is not posted early some of it might not be delivered until after the holiday.

NATO Force his third will be West German Chancellor Ludwig Erhard, who arrives Sunday. As for the nuclear force plan under discussion, it appeared to be a variant of the Atlantic Nuclear Force (ANF) Wilson himself proposed during a Washington visit, last December. The ned version was said to include: ■—An Allied nuclear force to which Britain would donate the four Polaris submarines she will have by the end of 1967. —West Germany and probably Italy and the Netherlands

LETTER

to the EDITOR

Dear Sir: I am writing in regards to the letter written by J. B. J. in Monday’s Banner. I may shock you but I am against anymore poverty programs. From the experiences I have had with people, the majority of them living in poverty do not want to better themselves. As long as people give them clothes and the Welfare pays for their food and rent then they don’t have to

work.

My father owns an apartment house in Greeneastle and I can name numerous ones who paid their rent by Welfare. They didn't intend to work. If they were given jobs they would stay home from work because they hurt their finger, had a toothace, sorethroat, headache or some minor ailment. Their jobs wouldn’t last long. Then there are the men that would work and hold a steady job but if their wife didn’t meet them at work on payday they would go to a local tavern and drink

I up a week's pay.

lieve that any healthy unemployed man who got his rent and food paid for by the Welfare should have to work somevvhere for it. I believe that if anyone really wants to rise above his poverty condition he can. It takes determination and hard work and some aren't willing to put forth the effort. There are always people willing to help someone in need but it should be proven that the people are worthy of help and not too lazy to work or drinking or gambling away their money.

In memory of Charles H. Smith, who passed away December 19. 1958. Beyond life’s golden sunset Lies a city bright and fair In the land of God’s tomorrow And our loved ones wait us there.

Sadly missed by Mother. Father, sisters and brothers.

Dear Sir: Last month I worked on the committee for our school chili supper. We had such fine cooperation from a local store that I should like more people to know about it. Mr. Dick Edwards and his staff at the Greeneastle IGA store w-ere very helpful to us. Mr. Edwards assisted in planning our grocery order. He arranged to have twenty-four pounds of onions chopped for us, and he and his assistant delivered all the food when we needed it. The largest material contribution from the store was the donation of eighty pounds of ground beef — as I figure it, that must be almost forty dollars worth. All in all, it was very pleasant to work with the IGA people. All the school patrons were most appreciative. Surely Greeneastle will remain a thriving community so long as we have such generous merchants. Sincerely, Mrs. John Robertson

A Local

TEENAGER'S VIEW By JANET STAUB Ho, Ho, Ho — that is the sound which comes from a certain red-suited man around this time of the year. We usually call him Santa Claus. Really, “Santa Claus” is just the American version of Saint Nicholas. Saint Nicholas was a real person wdio was a bishop in Asia Minor in the fourth century, and is probably the source of our present Saint Nick who fills the stockings of good children on Christmas Eve. The story is that the bishop heard of a poor man who was about to sell his three daughters into slavery because he could not provide a dowTy for them. Saint Nicholas saved the daughters, one by one, with gifts of gold. Each time, because he washed to remain anonymous, he threw the gift into the house rather than present it. One version of the legend is that he tossed the gold down the chimney, where it fell into a stocking that was hung there to dry. And so it is that children still hang up their stockings, and often find — in the toe — a tangerine, to represent a lump of gold. The Dutch still call the annual visitor Saint Nicholas but throughout the world he goes by different names. German children wait for Kris Kringle, and French for Pere Noel (Father Christmas). Most children and even some adults believe in Santa Claus whether in flesh or just spirit, but to children in many lands, he stands for the kindly spirit of the Christ Child that is always abroad in the world at Christmas time. DID YOU NOTICE: Many small children very wide-eyed as they saw the jolly red-suited man in the downtown area.
