WOOLFREY Chairman, Clinton Council .otf Churches and minister of Ontario $t. "United Church, Clinton To understand end 'appreciate the central truth of the Christmas message, we must put into practice in our lives the principles of the ,Christian faith. We all agree that during ,the Christian era stand- ards of life have changed 'anti rnankind has been realizing new hopes and has been seekkig to establish a kingdom founded in righteousness. 'Wherever the gospel has been preaehed, people have become dissatisfied with their past and with new hopes and aspirations, born of the Christian faith, have sought new goals on he way to the Kingdom of God. During the past year, we have observed how the nations have been .seeking, through Councils and organivations, to create a world community. This gives us great hope for the future •because we know that by ' these methods and not by war can we hive the kind of world for which we hope. But these methods of peace and goodwill, like the principles of brotherhood, have their roots in the Christmas message. ' You and I shall realize the truth of the CF-istmas message in as far as we meet the challenge to create goodwill, peace and brotherhood in our every day life. The Clinton Council of Churches wish you all ...^. very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. RELIGIOUS CHARACTER OF CHRISTMAS I 0 0 0 By REV. S. j. MoDONALD Pastor oS St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church, Clinton, and St. Michael's Church, Blyth • here is always need to emphasize the essentially religious charaoter of Christmas, for the simple T reason that in a world which has become so largely eeculer, menare always forgetting it. It is quite possible, holvvever, that in the past few months not a few who hoped for the . establishment of peace through merely human means have become disillusioned, and are at long last ' tinning to the Divine Child of Bethlehem and the recog- nition of His Law as the only . true source of peace 'among men. • Peace cannot be won by the atomic bomb; neither can it be brought about by the United Nations, unless the decisions of that body are based on justice and charity, and not on mere expediency. Likewise it will not be gained as long as /hatreds, racial and religious, continue to find place in the hearts of men. It can be achieved only by going back in spirit to Bethlehem; and there, with un- feigned faith, with humility of spirit, and an ardent char- ity, to ask dit of Him Who alone is Our Peace. The eelebraticm of the Feast of the Nativity 1946 will undoubtedly play Its part in promoting this great end. The present writer has much pleasure in extending to all readers of The NEWS -RECORD sincere good wishes for a Holy and Happy Christmas, O 0 0 EDITORIAL COMMENT Only tourr more shopping days until Christrnas! O 0 0 Thought for Today -Meddling with another man's • folly is always thankless work. O 0 0 • Your last chance to make your contribution to the Christmas Seal campaign for the eradication of tuber- culosis, Id. is well worth anyone's support. O 0 0 The 1917 Ontario •automobile license plates will be silver in color, with black figures. There still is only one license plate per car. They go on sale January 2. • 0 0 0 Everyone should plan to attend the official nomina- tion proceedings in Clinton at noon on Monday, December .and the meeting in the evening, to hear the candidates. O 0 0 • • His Majesty the King will make his traditional Christina.s broadcast to the British Empire and COMDI011- wealth &morn Sandringham Palace at 10 a.m. (EST) Christ - mad Day, December 25. O 00.• , While we live in plenty, the staggering total of 800,000,000 men, women and ehildren-one-third of the population a the world -are suffering the tortures of • hunger, and millions of these are facing death from star- • vation. How thankful we should be to Divine Providence! O 0 0 Perhaps a Town Cotmcil, in some year to come, • raftght consider the payment of an honorarium to (the presiding Mayor, whoever he might be. It would be only a small measure of the thanks of the ratepayers for con- • siderable money, erne and effort spent in the town's service. O 0 0 The Editor and Staff of:CLINTON NEWS-RtCORD desire to express their sincere appreciation for the co, operation they have received from subscrifbens, corres- pondents, contaibutons, advertisers, and other friends, daring the past year. It is our sincere wish that all andfy have A Joyous Chriatanas and A Prosperous New Year. Letters to the EDITOR RADIO OPERATION Editor, News-Reeord BEAR To keep the radio record straight, let me ask and answer u few ques- tions'. Who started radio? Who developed and financed it in its early stages? W'ho 'believed in its future when most people thought it would fail? Who discovered and. who is still disecivativg the talent which makes radio what it is today? Rack in • 1914 a young wirele engineer sa night after night wit earphones 03) Ins head, He was list. ening to ominous code messages which filterercl through to hie homes made set: Came the climax on the night of August the third. The vrorld was tossed into Would War Number One, That •Inall was Ted Rogers. He was the man who went on to develop -right here in Canada -he was a Canadian -,the first hatteryless re- ceiving set. Later he ,applied the same principles to the evolution the world's first hattersiess rad station, OMB. In the eaely days, was it not handful of men who staked their a on the outcome of radio because the were convinced of its suecessf future as a medium? Back in what might be termed the later days of searly radio I stood on a wind-blown corner talking to a man who was the manager of a Can- adian radio station. His remarks were to the effect that nationalization of this MAY gift to man, this new university for us, the little people, would be smothered if it became government -controlled. Because still admire and re:meet this man T. won't mention his Dame. It might give you quite a addle if•I tolcl you of the 'poeition he occupies today. conclusion let inc say that in Auetralia there are two radio net- works The governmett-operated system carrie,s nothing but sustaining programs. The other network consist of a chain of privately -owned sta tine, and St looks after all commer- cial programs. This, and this you can check for yourself, a recent survey showed that approximately 76 per- cent of listeuers in otir sister Do- minion prefer the privately -owned network . . .
