Your Gift To Yourself —Time For Reflection

By ROBERTA ROESCH “I think I like it best,” said a reader from New York, ‘‘the way Christmas is this year. Falling on a Sunday, as it does, it gives most of us more time to ourselves to enjoy it ‘‘For one thing, a lot of us are home on Christmas Eve— all day. The office parties and celebrations are behind us and we can spend the day with our families. An Extra Day ‘‘And of course, this year most of us will have Monday off from work, too. What a relief not to plunge from what generally is a hectic holiday right into the job again the next day.” For this reader and for all of us who can take advantage of having an extra day off this Christmas weekend, there is the added opportunity this year to look into our hearts for the real meaning of Christmas and for ways to make its meaning shape and guide our lives every day throughout the year. It is not always easy to find this meaning—or to find the time to search for it—amid the pressure and extra work of presents to buy, trees to trim, turkeys to stuff, stockings to hang, cookies to bake, gifts to wrap, punch bowls to fill, parties to give, carols to sing, services to attend, families to visit and calls to make. Simple Opportunity

blessed chance is the simple opportunity to give ourselves time for reflection; to recharge ourselves for another year as we peer beneath the glitter for the true glow and meaning of Christmas. This is also the perfect time —and there’s that extra day this year—to get off by ourselves and take a long hard look at our lives. Strip away all the fluff. Get right down to the essentials. What about the job? Where is it taking us? Are we giving our employers a full day’s work—and a little bit more—for the salary we are getting? Is the housewife and mother — with or without an outside job — successfully fulfilling her role in providing a

A Thought For This Holiday And Every Day Of The Year

Whatever we are, this long Christinas weekend is an opportunity to clear up the complexities that tend to overwhelm us and to point the way to a simplified goal that shows us where we are going and which are the important things in life. Poetically Put As we do these things at Christmas, regardless of our separate beliefs, one real Christmas opportunity that’s a recharging for us all comes wrapped up in these beautiful words by Mary Baker Eddy: ‘‘Shepherd, show me how to go O’er the hillside steep, How to gather, how to sow, How to feed Thy sheep; I will listen for Thy voice. Lest my footsteps stray, I will follow and rejoice All the rugged way.” This simple but great opportunity is God’s Christmas gift to you. So as you unwrap it for Christinas, blessings to one and all.

8 Grade School Children Killed WINDSOR. Ont. UPI — The sounds of happy children were choked off Wednesday by a dump truck that smashed a schoolbus nearly flat and buried its occupants under 25 tons of shifting, suffocating sand. Eight grade school children died and 20 were injured. The truck skidded around a comer, sideswiped the bus and tipped over, entombing the bus and its small passengers under part of its 25-ton cargo of sand. Only two children escaped injury, officials said.

ward to one more day of school before Christmas vacation as they rode home from classes. The youngsters had given James Levy, 40, the bus driver, several small presents Tuesday. "How many are dead now?” Levy kept repeating as rescuers sifted through sand covering the crushed bus and used cutting torches to free the trapped children. They worked for more than two hours before the last child was out of the bus. "If there just hadn’t been so much sand,” Levy said. "The trailer, when it tipped over on us, pushed the sand down on us like a bulldozer.” Ontario provincial police said the truck was making a turn off King’s Highway 3 onto a side road when it sideswiped the school bus. The trailer portion of the truck, carrying the sand to a construction project, toppled over on the bus, pushing the roof to within two feet of the floor in the center.

Yank Sentenced To Labor Camp LENINGRAD, U.SJ5.R. UPI— A young American tourist Wednesday was sentenced to three years in a Siberian labor camp for stealing a $300 statue and currency black marketeering that netted him $30. His American companion was let off with a fine but may have to remain in Russia as a witness. Buel Ray Wortham, 25, of North Little Rock, Ark., received a maximum three-year sentence for taking the 45-pound statue of a Russian bear from a Leningrad hotel plaza and three years of a possible eight-year term for selling dollars for rubles on the black market. The sentences were ordered to run concurrently. Wortham’s defense attorney filed notice of appeal to the Soviet Supreme Court. The three-judge Leningrad City Court fined Craddock M. Gilmour Jr., 24. of Salt Lake City, $1,111 for his part in the money speculation. The two exparatroopers, who celebrated their discharge from the Army by touring Russia, pleaded guilty to the charges. Worthman’s sentence was the stiffest given any American here since Marvin William Makinen was given eight years in jail in September 1962, for espionage. Makinen was released after serving 25 months. A U.S. Embassy spokesman in Moscow attacked Wortham’s sentencing for its "hardness.”

Tax Officials Cannot Appeal State Ruling

INDIANAPOLIS UPI — The Indiana Supreme Court ruled today county and township tax officials cannot appeal to a court from a ruling by the State Board of Tax Commissioners on tax exemptions. The ruling concerned the case of Monroe County Assessor on tax exemption. The ruling concerned the case of Monroe County Assessor Homer L. Hentz, who sought to place eight pieces of previously exempt property owned by Indiana University on the tax rolls. The state board reviewed the matter and held that six of the tracts were to be exempt, one was to be put on the tax rolls and the other was to be partially exempt and partially taxable. Thomas A. Hoadley, as attorney for Lentz, filed an appeal from the state board action with Monroe Circuit Court. Johnson Circuit Court Judge Robert B. Lybrook, sitting in Monroe County as special judge dismissed the suit on grounds that Lentz, as county assessor, could not bring the action because he was a party in the case. The high court, in a ruling by Judge Fredrick Bakestraw, concluded the main issue was a question of whether the appellant in his capacity as county assessor has any standing to maintain an action for declaratory judgment on a question of property tax exemption.

The high court concluded not only county assessors but any other tax official under the state board’s jurisdiction could not question the state boards exemption rulings.

Will Appeal

WASHINGTON UPI — Union spokesmen for the striking steelworkers at Union Carbide’l Kokomo, Ind., plant said the union will appeal an 80-day injunction issued against it Wednesday night U. S. District Court Judge Leonard P. Walsh said he granted the injunction under the Taft-Hartley Act because the “strike has a substantial effect on the production of military jet aircraft engines.”
