len county will build and staff the manger scene. Just inside will be the service section consisting of the information booth, ushers. Red Cross, and the Lamb’s pen staffed by area Y-Teen clubs as a sitter service during festival hours. Art in various forms will be displayed. Children of the area are making Christmas posters, a mural will be painted during the festival and many Christmas and religious paintings will be displayed. Continuous Christmas music will be provided by 21 choirs and musical groups. Interlude organist is Richard Bredemeyer.

The rich cultural background of the I foreign neighbors is shown in the parade of nations as they display Christmas in their homelands. This year theater has been added with Miss Blanche Hutto presenting “The Three Wisemen" in puppet form. Os interest to workers, participants and foreign students are the circle and international dinners held on Thursday and Sunday. Sunday. Dec. 3, at 2 and 4 p.m., the traditional Christmas pageant, a liivng drama of the Christmas story as seen through the eyes of two mcdern-day children is presented in the coliseum arena. Written and directed by Lois Peterson Keller, this has become a highlight of the festival. Giving what has been given is the festival’s way of sharing with all. Hospitality Inn personifies the gift by sharing with all who attend, the thousands of cookies baked by many, and coffee and milk willingly donated. Last year approximately 50.000 visited the festival during its three days. The committee members extend their welcome again by saying, “Won't you come share with us the true meaning of Christmas and when von come, bring along an extra child that he might gain some of the joy of the season devoid of commercialism".

Saigon Corruption Greater Threat Than Cong: Hartke
An enemy greater than the Viet Cong to South Viet Nam is corrupin the Saigon government and a gen.ral apathy of the people whose war we arC lighting. The promise of new social and economic programs in that part of South Viet Nam controlled by Saigon has not aroused discernible enthusiasm. largely because the history of recent years is crowded with unfulfilled promises of land reform and civil efficiency by the rufiing military clique. I am not decrying America s lofty objective to bring democracy and a" better life to South Viet Nam’s wretched millions. But if it is essential that we mwe the Great Society program to Viet Nam, it is equally essential that we secure the active cooperation and participation of the Saigon government and its profiteering ruling class. It is futile and counter-produc-tive for the United States to postpone its own domestic programs for the sake of Viet Nam’s, if our program there is doomed' to failure by lack of Saigon’s cooperation. Obscured by the heroic battle actions of American fighting forces which command page one in our newspapers is the disturbing fact that fer too many officials in South Viet Nam are caught up in making a good thing out of this war. Trained newsmen report that there is little or no enthusiasm for the War in this dazed and weary country. While entrenched officialdom sun themselves at the swimming pools of the (\rcle Sport if. ♦he army of the Republic of South Viet Nam fights the war from 10 ’til 4 — taking the evenings off and living off the villagers. Wh.le Americans relentlessly pursue an elusive anemy, landfords hold out for higher prices or refuse to sefi land to the U. S. Government on which to build tent cities for refugees from the battle area. An inevitable result of the bill ons of U. S. dollars being spent in Viet Nam is a black market economy in the South. We have no assurance that in our own generosity we are not compounding the corrupt:on now existing as we pour into South Viet Nam not only 30 per cent of the AID budget. but (utter Sums for education, health, schools and agricultural development. Dissent in this country is not forcing the Thieu-Ky government to d?lay land reform for the peasants, and to continue profiteering as a way of life. The real issue in the 1964 presidential election here was whether ( >r not h* United States should embark ‘ a major military and cconomi commitment in Asia or a major domestic commitment at tome. That election was a mandate for
peace and for our own domestic I programs. The issue was seen through many lenses. Should Amcrica volunteer her military technology, including nuclear power, and try to solve the world’s ills with military leadership? Or should we build a greater America and lead the world by example and sharing of our bounty? The underlying issue was drawn on the terms lof peace or war — and the mandate was for peace and progress. A majority of Americans are disillusioned with their comprehension that Viet Nam has become an American war, with the primary objective becoming a purely military victor)- at whatever cost to the , country we came to defend. When this change strikes you with all its barrenness, with all its futility, you see how far we are from a plan for peace for Asia and ifor America.

4 Ml k LWV PROPERfIN In I nin&ini nllr SIGNhLS*i ■ -•>«» Abu can start your children on their way to becoming good drivers at a very early age. One way is to teach them the rules of the road which they can apply to their bicycle riding. The School Safety Poster for April, distributed by the Chicago Motor Club to more than -15,000 grade-school classrooms in Illinois and Indiana, has the theme: “Use Proper Signals.” In addition to the proper signals for a left turn, right turn, and stop, you can teach children to observe stop signs, stop-and-go signals, and yield signs. Impress on them that, as bicycle riders, they are subject to the same traffic rules as automobile drivers.
Teach Your Youngsters Safety Habits Early
Is Santa bringing your child a bi-1 cycle this Christmas? If so, the Chicago Alotor Club-AAA asks you to remember this: Today’s cycling youngsters in a few short years will be driving teenagers. The time to start them toward safe driving habits is now, while they enjoy the first exhilarations of a newfound freedom and mobility. A bicycle is not a toy. It is possibly your child's first active encounter with fast-moving traffic. With this in mind you may wish to ask yourself a few questions about a bike fcr your child. 1.» Is he old enough to understand his responsibility in traffic? Keep a bike in cood shape? Practice a srfe bicycling code? 2> Will 1 see that he gets prop r training and instruction in bicycle safety before he is permitted to ride in the street? 3' Are there safe places for him to ride a bike near home? If the honest answer to all of these questions is yes. then the motor club suggests you give some thought to selecting a proper bike for your youngster. There are two major points in making your selection — size and safety. Make sure the bicycle fits the child. Firmly balanced on the saddle, his instep on the lower pedal, his leg should form a straight line. If he has to bend his knee, the bike is too small for him. If he has to use tiptoes, the bike is too big. When riding, the saddle should be parallel to the ground. Handlebar grips should be kept the same height , as 'the saddle and at right angles to I the handlebar stem. Fancy riding or circus handlebars are not for begin-

’ ners. 1 The safety consideration in selecting a bike includes choosing one that has a good headlight and taillight or reflector and a warning horn or bell. Brakes also are a consideration. Popular bikes have one of two braking systems—coaster or hand-squeez-ed wheel grip brakes. The coaster brakes are superior for beginners and young children because a back pedal pressure using the entire weight of the body activates them. A check with local authorities is wise to. to certain you and your child know laws affecting cyclists, according to the motor club. Some immunities require licensing of bicycles. others forbid use of bikes on sidewalks. A new Illinois law, for example. gives parents the responsibility for equipping their child’s bike with a front lamp for night riding, a red rear reflector or lamp and a horn, bell or sounding device. Key safe-riding suggestions from the motor club include: 1‘ Keep well back from moving cars—they may stop suddenly. 2 1 Be alert for pedestrians who might step from between parked cars. 3 1 Watch out for doors of parked cars that might be opened suddenly. 4’ Avoid riding too fast down hill or on rough slippery roads. 5» Show good sportsmanship to pedestrians. other bike riders and mo--1 torists. 6 Signal for turns and stops. 7‘ Keep both hands on the handlebars except when signaling for turns. 8) Be seen when riding at night. 1 Have a good headlight and taillight or reflector and wear light colored clothing.
