Olympic National
Forest Allowable
Timber Cut Hiked
The allowab]e timber cut in the
)lympic National Forest has been
ncreased by 2,200,200 board feet
he U. S. Forest Service an-
.ounced this week.
The present allowable cut is
41,000.000 board feet and will b¢
;3,200,000 board feet.
The increase for the Olympic
Tational Forest was part of m
)vet-all adjustment in allowabIe
uts in national forests in Wash-
ngton and Oregon announced this
reek by Secretary of Agriculture
)rville Freeman.
In Washington, increases ,were
flso allowed in the Snoqualmle
-rod Wenatchee National Forests,
vhile the Okanogan National For-
;st remained tbe same. Gifford
?inchot and Mt. Baker National
:.recasts have a decrease in allow-
ble cut.
The total increase in the two
.tate is 124,600,000 board feet.
The attainment of the new al-
'owable cuts is dependent on the
expanded timber access road pro-
ram recommendel by President
Iohn F. Kennedy in July as part
of his program to assist the timber
industry, Freeman said in his an-
nouncement.
The increases will come from
areas of National :ForeSt. land a.l-

THE OHRISTMAS MESSAG[
Birth Of Christ Greatest
Event/n Human History
Rev. Lewis B. Wysong
Pastor--F.oursquarc Chuih
The greatest event recorded in
human history is the birth of the
Babe of Bethlehem. Many extra-
ordinary manifestations accompa-
nied the long-looked for advent of
the infant: Redeemer. Toe large
star h the east, the angelic song,
the fascinated shepherds on the
Judean hills, the little manger in
the lowly stable, and the Virgin
mother all are a part of this sac-
red event. \\;
Of what do we think when we
mention Christmas? There are he
red lights, holly, wreaths, tinseled
trees, reindeer, sleigh bells, pres-
ents, exchange of cards and gifts.
For multitudes around the world.
Christmas is the supreme festival.
However, it is hoped that in the
midst of its tinsel and gaiety, its
oys and trimmings, we shall be
ble to hear the "good tidings of
.a'e;t joy . . . for unto you is
.orn this day,in the city of David,
:k Saviour, which is Christ, tim
ord" -- Luke 2:10-11. This is the
.rue meanmg of Christmas as is
iiscerned in the heart of every
?hristian,
What is Christmas? This ques-
;on ma 3 be answered as follows:
Christmas is a. birth. Birthdays
re remembered and honored. Ma-
y are given high honor on that
articular date. However, the un-
:sual birth of the Babe of Beth-
ehe:'n, th(, Redeemer of the World,
is entitled to the greatest honor
nd highest praise of all men,
CHRISTMAS IS A BELIEF. It
a Faith. The fundamental Chris-
qan £aith is challenged by this
unique birth. It is upon this birth
that Christians find their real
hope.
Christmas is a (,ustom. Pindar,
the great philosopier and writer.
said, "Custom is the queen of the
'worhl. It is 'to the practice of
custom thai the civilized nations
of the world cling.
Christmas is a memorial. All
over the world there are monu-
ments heroes, geperals, leaders.
presidents and zflers. Memorials
of those of all ages. If we would
celebrate Christmas as it should
be celebrated, we would make the
greatest monnment,ever made to
the One who made Christmas pos-
sible .... e,en our Lord and Sav-
iour.
Christmas is a eomznereial. The

mas concert will be Dec. 18th, in

any music student or at the door,
business world takes advantage of
this time of year. They decorate
streets and windows and entice
people with all kinds of sales and
gimmicks to make money. This
holy event has been to crouch con-
trolled by the commercial spirit.
We dislike admitting this, but is
has become so commercial.
CHRISTMAS IS AN EXCHAN-
GE. Oil, yes, an exchange Of greet-
ing cards and lovely gifts. When
the;gifts are exchanged in the
true spirit of appreciation and
fkudfip, they show forth the
iea of .the greatest Gift of
all ..... GOD'S GIFT of redeeming
love in sending His only begotten
Son into the world that we might
have life and life more abundantly.
Among all the gaiety of the
Ciristmas Season may we not for.
get that Christmas is really HIS
DAY, the dry that the Saviour was
born into the world to redeem
sinners. May we lok once more
upon Judea. with watchful shep-
herds on the hills and angles in
the sky, Could we see again the
worshiping shepherds, the seeking
wse-men and the wicked Herod!
May we take time to give praise
to Him who came to be God mani-
fest in the "flesh"! For. had Christ
not come, there would be no
Christmas,
School Board
Studies Driver
Training Plan
After discussing what might be
done with the school's driver train-
mg program, the Shelton School
BOard at its meeting Tuesday
night asked Superintendent R. W.
Oltman and High School Princi-
pal George Hermes to look into
the possibilities and report at the
January meeting.
The board previously received a
recommendation from its citizen's
advisory committee that driver
:.raining l?e dropped as part of the
curriculum because it was not
available to all the students who
wished to take it and because
it was not a proper part of the
curriculum.
THE BOARD WANTS to in-
vestigate the possibilities of teach-
ing the class after school hours
and on Sets'days or to have an
uncertified person teach driving.
Oltman was asked to cheek into
getting an architect to draw plans
for a central cafeteria which will
be built in the Irene S. Reed build-
ing next summer.
The plan is that after some high
school activities are moved to the
new addition to the Grant C. Angle
building now under construction, a
central cafeteria to prepare hot
hmches for all the buildings will
be built in the ISR building.
OLTMAN TOLD THE board hc
was continuing his investigation
of the advisability of a language
lab for the high school, an'd
planned to look at more instal-
lations in other schools before
tinning up with a specific recom-
mendation.
Oltman was authorized to pur-
chase a few items of furniture not
ebtained on the bids for the Grant
C. Angle addition. He was also
authorized to purchase two snare
drums fro" the high school music
department.
