Omens Dim
Yule Spirit
“Merry” Christmas? Not always,
according to some ancient be¬
liefs once associated with the day.
Take, for instance, the old be¬
lief that cattle and other stable
animals were given power of
speech on Christmas Eve.
Any person who heard the ani¬
mals speak would die within a
year, so superstition said.
Somber omens of death were
read into still other Yuletide
legends. When the Yule Log burn¬
ed bystanders were told to watch
the shadows on the walls. If the
shadow of any persons appeared
to be headless, this supposedly
meant death for those persons,
again within a year.
Salt was also said to have the
power of forecasting life or death,
when used in connection with
Christmas. The test could be made
by leaving a small mound of salt
on the table on Christmas Eve.
If the salt melted during the night
that, too, meant death within 12
months.
If the salt remained unmelted,
the forecast was for a long and
healthy life.

Prophet Jeane Dixon
Forecast Blackout
Mrs. Jeane Dixon, the Washing¬
ton visionary, whose prophecies
are often startlingly accurate, in
1963 predicted the United States
would someday be blacked out
just as it was in the Northeast
last week.
In August of 1963 Mrs. Dixon
agreed to scientists’ requests that
she meditate on rockets. Here is
what she said later:
“I saw a silver ball like the sput
nick rising out of Russia and go¬
ing into a powerful missile which
traveled around the globe to the
left.
Suddenly, it switched course
and traveled in the opposite di¬
rection. Beneath it America was
all aglow, but as the missile turn¬
ed, the lights of our country went
out, leaving us in utter darkness.
“I interpreted this to mean that
Russia has a secret type of missile
for which we have no anti-missile
missile. It is so powerful that it
can completely immobilize our
communications systems. It can
also play havoc with the naviga¬
tion of our planes.”
Mrs. Dixon was asked whether
or not the Russians already had
such a missile. She answered she
was confident the Russians did.

Legislature May
Echo Dog-Killing
(UPI) — A 'coon dog valued at
$1,200 which a state game ranger
shot to death two years ago may
become a political issue in the
1966 General Assembly.
Rep.-elect Fulton Lovell of Ra
burn County filed for damages
with the State Claims Commission
as a routine preliminary to seek¬
ing settlement from the legisla¬
ture.
Lovell was acting for a consti¬
tuent, Willard York of White Coun¬
ty. The state cannot be sued with¬
out its consent.
The dog was destroyed on Nov.
4, 1963, by a game ranger who
was under orders to kill dogs be¬
lieved to be chasing deer. This
occurred shortly after Rosser Ma¬
lone succeeded Lovell as director
of the Game and Fish Department.
Ranger Joe Knight was arrested
for killing the dog and, found
guilty, fined $100. Malone paid
the fine.
Malone was criticized by State
Auditor Ernest Davis for paying
$150 to defense lawyers. Malone
should have used the state law
department, Davis said.
York contended his dog was

PINEY WOODS
PETE Soys:
DEAR MISTER EDITOR:
It seems to me I’ve heard of
more folks having stomach trouble
in recent months than ever before.
According to one magazine article,
a lots of this trouble comes from
the use of DDT and other high
powered insecticides.
It was said that DDT sprayed on
fruits and vegetables can’t be
washed off, and that folks not only
git it in their systems eating such
foods, but also eating the meat
of animals that eat feed that was
sprayed when it was growing, and
that it even gets into milk. It was
stated that the whole population
gets doses of these poisons day
after day, and they’re bad on the
liver as well as the stomach.
Man had better cut out poison¬
ing his food this way. Insects are
fast getting immune to these poi¬
sons, anyhow, and they’ll soon be
hunting ’em up and eating ’em as
a tonic.
Yours truly,
PINEY WOODS PETE.

SOME THINGS TO BE
THANKFUL FOR IN YOUR
SCHOOL SYSTEM
1. We have a student body that
has met the challenge of inte¬
gration with dignity.
2. All schools are doing a self
study for accreditation by the
Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools.
3. All teachers have at least
a bachelor degree except one, who
only lacks one quarter work.
4. All administrators and coun¬
ty staff members have at least a
masters degree.
5. You have a Board of Educa¬
tion that is united in its effort
to achieve a better education pro
gram for the children.
6. You have a property re-valu¬
ation that gave the Department
of Education a sufficient amount
of money to operate a good school
program.
7. We are thankful that you
have provided a good home for
the children and the churches have
provided moral and spiritual train¬
ing for us all. May we all work
together so that we will have more
to be thankful for next Thanks¬
giving.
What's Ahead . . .
A critical government eye is
looking now under car hoods and
in gas tanks.
And there is talk in Washington
that present-day engines and fuels
may have to go.
The President’s science advisory
committee is worried about the
leads and other engine additives
that have pushed air pollution to
critical levels in the United States.
A suggestion is floating around
to clamp on tighter government
controls — create a sort of Food
and Drug Administration-type agen¬
cy to oversee fuel and engine
quality.
And that isn’t all. White House
science advisers think the time
eventually may come when it will
ue necessary to get rid of present
1 ngines and fuels altogether.
their concern: that the carbon
dioxide more and more engines
four into the air could warm the
.umosphere and change earth’s
. eather.
They are asking automakers to
seriously mull the idea of scrap¬
ping present engines and power¬
ing cars with nontoxic fuel cells
instead.
Sex, Love
Topics of Talk
Sex, love and morality were the
subjects discussed by Goucher
College chaplain Frederick Wood
Sunday in the Habler Chapel.
Wood created a nationwide stir
last year for a similar sermon,
in which he maintained that sex
is good — with responsibility.
Wood sought t-o dispel the view
that whatever he said was in any
way related to an official policy.
“Nothing said in the pulpit rep¬
resents any official policy of
Goucher”, he said.
“Sex,” according to Wood, “is a
fact of life. You cannot be human
without it.”
Those who believe that sex is
not good are “dehumanizing hu¬
man sexuality,” the view that sex
is good is not prevalent, unfortu¬
nately, he said. “Sex is part of
the creative order of things” and
“with sex comes the capacity for
love and self-fulfillment,” he de¬
clared.
Wood opposed the view that
“love is a warm puppy” and that
love is passion.
Love instead is self-giving or
being eminently concerned with
the wishes of the other. This view
of love is “the highest moral prin¬
ciple of Christian teaching,” the
chaplain said.
Morality becomes then, the ap¬
plication of love to sex; it is the
giving of one’s self to something
outside one’s self, he continued.
Wood told the capacity audience
of 200 girls and a scattering of
boys that he eould not judge the
morality of others, “for that would
be very unloving of me.”
