:he 35 students in the class
'ite the word, "Christmas",
then immediately after that
to write the first word or

s regarding that particular
When the papers were col-
<(l such words as "tree", "hol-
L"raistletoe", "presents .... tur-
4[', "holiday .... carols", and
*':ta Claus" were found, but
|.0he had written the ,phrase,
fthday of Jesus Christ'.
Cannot recall ho,v many pea-
lhave asked me during my
irae, "For what does the "X"

dstcr of Christian Education discover the real purpose for
tat Baptist Church, Shelton which He came. Saul of Tarsus
tarried before Him and emerged
as Paul first century scholar and
missionary-evangelist who pub-
lished the most wonderful tidings
of time and eternity, "Christ Je-
sus came into the world to save
sinners."
He. who preached the greatest
sermons ever uttered, did not
come into this world primarily
to preach. He, who gave sight to
the blind, earing to the deaf,
and speech to the dumb, did not
come into the world primarily to
heal. He, whose high ideals and
principles radiated from His sin-
less heart and flawless life, did
not come into the world primarily
to establish an example for char-
acter. He. whose loyalty in life
and courage in death will forever
be incomparable, did not come
into the world primarily to teach l
men to live honestly and to die I
bravely. As a preacher. Christ ex-
celled: as a teachtlr. He predomi-
nated; as a philosopher, He was
unequalled; as a man He was un-
surpassed; yet His prime glory
lies in norm of these virtues. The
true purpose of the incarnation
and the true meaning of Christ-
mas is lost if we stop here.
What. then, is the Indispensable
Meaning of Christmas? Accord-
ing to the New Testament. it
means at least four things. First
of all, Christmas means that:
"Christ Came Into The "World
To Reveal the Father". The Lord's
own statement of truth in this
regard is found in the Gospel of
John, chapter 14, verse 9: " . . . he
that hath seen Me hath seen the
Father!" Among all the thins

Building Permit
ChangeRequest
Tile Mason County Commission
Monday delayed actlon one week
on olie building permit and wrote
the final chapter in another.
On a motion by Commissioner
Jolm Bariekman, the commission
voted to hold up approval of a
change in the location of a build-
ing permit for Freu Thibodeau
for a drive-in theater.
The original building permit
was approved in Augalst for a site
near the Shelton Airport, but. the
deal for the property did not ma-
terialize so the location was
'changed to near Lynch Road off
Highway 101 south of Shelton.
Thibodeau asked the, assessor for
a change in location of the thea-
ter.
BARIEKMAN SAID he wanted
to check with residents in the
neighborhood of the new location
to see if they had any objections
before approving the new permit.
The commission closed out the
application for a building permit
from "W. A. Nora-is. which denied
by the commission and later was
supported by the Superior Court.
The commission voted to refund
Norris' $1 building permit fee
which he paid at the time. of the
applieation.

he said, to make it more work-
able. The previous arterial system
had included in it all streets
Iwhich were to have tile right-of-
lway, and that it did not follow
the purpose of an arterial street
system.
In the new system, he said, it
is possible for almost anyone in
the city to get to an m'terial street
within three blocks of their home.
The purpose of an arterial, he
said. is to collect traffic from au
area and allow IT, to move smooth-
ly.
SOME OF TIlE streets which
are esignated arterials, Byrne
said, are not even onened now,
but, are so designated because
when the areas through whicl
they run are opened up, they will
fit into the overall program.
Streets in the new arterial sys-
tem are the Olympic Highway
from city limits to city limits; K
Street from the Olympic Highway
Lo the East City Limits; E. Street
from N. 13th Street to the ceme-
teries; B Street and N. lath
Streets from the Olympic IIigh-
way to E. Street: San Joaqmn
StTeet from First Sreet to Ot-
ter Street; Otter Street fi'om Ban
Joaquin to Chestnut Streets; Pine
Street from First Street to the
East City limits;
Fairmont Ave, from tile Olym-
pic Highway to the East City lim-
its; Front Street from Kneeland
Street to Pine Street; Seventh St.
from Laurel to Ravenna Street;
Ravenna Street from Seventh to
10th Streets (alternate, Highland
Drive from Seventh to 10the;.
Tenth Street from Thomas €o
Arcadia (yet to be extended to
10th}; Pioneer Vtay from Harvard

Streets from 10t?f Street to Pim-
eer Way; Arcadia. Street from
10th Street to the Olympic High-
way; Lske Blvd. from the city
limits to Pioneer Way; Turner
Street from the Olympic Highway
to 16th Street: l;ailroad Avellue
from Front Street to the west
city limits and North Cliff road
from Alder to the north city lim-
its.
VOIIK PLANNED nnder the
eix-year street program includes
for 1964. feasibility studies on
San Joaquin Street from First to
Otter Streets and Otter Street
from San Joaquin to Chestnut
Streets. Neither of these streets
are now in existanee, and the
studfes will be to determine if
this would be a better route up to
Capitol Hill to eliminate stone of
.the sharp curve in the present
road, Byrne said. Also plammcl
for 1964 program is blaektoppng
of K Street from the Olym-
pic Highway to the East city lim-
its. Proposed expenditures would
be $11.450 for the three projects.
• Proposed work for 1965 includes
widening. Pioneer Way to 34 feet
and the installation of an as-
phalt gutter on the street at the
cost of $36,110. Also planned as
a special project in 1965 i the
improvement of Birch Street from
First to Third Streets. Byrne said
this was included because it. is a
street heavily used by school bus-
se.
In the program for 1966 is the
improvement: of Seventh Street
