True Meaning of Christmas Found
In Christ’s Presence on Earth
By Rev. Robert Childs, Pastor
Community Baptist Church
Christmas is a joyous time of
deep meaning to the discerning
man but for the careless person
it is all too easily a time of trivial
ities.
He who has ears to hear, let him
listen for the gentle sound cf
Christmas. This gentle sound mdy
be all but drowned out by the noisy
clinking of cash registers or the
din of busy men. But, if one will
pause and listen, the cry of a new
born babe will reach the ear. The
cry made when God became man.
He who has eyes to see, let him
look and see the self-giving deed
of Christmas. Look carefully! For
the shiny metallic trees and the
bright colored lights catch the eye
with a glittering fascination. The
manger that held THE GIFT is
around back of the inn, hidden
away.
He who has a heart to feel, let
him feel the compassion of Christ
mas time. Self-seeking hardens the
heart so that it turns away all
feelings but for self. Feel deeply
this Christmas and know the love
that binds the wounds of men, Love
that became flesh and dwelt in the
midst of men.
This Week’s
Basketball
By Joe Floyd
Krafts fell from the undefeated
ranks Tuesday night to a red-hot
Curley five by a score of 52-47.
Curley’s moved to an early lead
in the game on the shooting of
Burnham and Ongaro with 13 and
12 points, only to see Krafts even
the tally at 43 all with four min
utes remaining. Both teams match
ed baskets until Kraft’s Hartman
left with five personals and the
green shirted Clippers moved to
the front with the year’s biggest
upset. Final — Curleys 52, Krafts
47. Kraft’s Osbekoff was high for
the game with 17 points.
In action on Monday night Sol
lys riddled PNA defenses and real
ly put on an offensive show to win
71-48. Suydam’s 21 points was high
for the winners, while PNA’s Sel
by had 17.
The 8:15 game saw a determined
Independent five, led by Clete Lev
erette, overcome a Curley lead
only to lose in the last 10 seconds.
Scoring honors went to Leverette
with 22, while Burnam had 21 for
Curleys.
The 8:15 game Tuesday night
matched the Storis against highly
regarded Sollys. Final — Storis 54,
Sollys 34. The Storis with practical
ly the same team that came in sec
ond in the City League playoff last
year completely dominated the re
bounding with big 6-5 Janopoulous
who hd 17 points and 6-7 Irwin, 15
points. Solly, with exceptional
shooting Monday night, completely
cooled off as far as hitting from
outside was concerned. Stan Graves

24 Changes Made
By AF&G Board
Twenty-four changes in the sport
fish seasons and bag limits were
made .by the Alaska Board of Fish
and Game, at its recent meeting in
Ketchikan. The regulations will be
come effective about Feb* 1, 30
days after being filed with Secre
tary of State Hugh Wade.
The allowing of two poles for
ice fishing and a number of added
year round fishing lakes on the
Kenai Peninsula will interest the
winter anglers. The two poles, now
allowed, may be used at any time
by an angler fishing through the
ice. Each pole will be limited to a
single hook, however.
On the Kenai Peninsula Trail
Lakes, Kenai Lake, the main Ke
nai River, Skilak Lake, Tustumena
Lake and the Seven Lakes Basin
(seven lakes on the east fork of
the Moose River) will be open to
year round fishing, as compared
to only Tustumena Lake last year.
There are no other changes with
which the sport fisherman must
concern themselves between early
February, when the changes be
come effective, and early March,
when the new regulatory pamph
let will be distributed.
Of major interest to Cook Inlet
anglers was the closure of the In
let and its drainages to all king
salmon fishing. This can be con
sidered a major step in halting a
downward trend in the Cook Inlet
king salmon stocks, a trend which
has not altered since 1954, despite
increasingly stringent restrictions
imposed on the fisrermen.
Areas adjacent here are affected
as follows:
The freshwater salmon limit is
six daily and two days possession
limit.
The Pasagshak River drainage,
including Lake Roe Tead, is closed
to salmon fishing.
The closure above and below the
Fraser River fish ladder has been
reduced to 50 yards.
Alaska’s college enrollment Is ex
pected to rise from 3,878 in 1962
to 6,465 in 1970.
May your table be filled with good food
and good wine. May you have all your
old friends gathered ’round. May there
be happy song and pleasant memories.
May it be a real old fashioned Merry
Christmas.
