And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which was called Bethlehem. (because he was of the house and the lineage of David.)

laid him in a manger; because there was no room in the dim. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them unto heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
And when they had seen it they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning the child.
And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. St. Luke: Chapter II, 1-18.

'Don't Study,'- It's Doctor's Orders
Dr. Ralph I. Canutson, director of the University health service, today urged students to leave their books at the University and get plenty of rest while they are home for the holidays.
He said that few of the students really study during the vacation. They only worry and fret about the work that should be done.
Students should get enough rest to be well prepared to face final examinations when they return, he said.
Futility' Bowl Picks K-State; Play At Atom Testing Spot
Los Angeles, Dec. 21—(UP)—The only New Year's day bowl game that nobody wants to see—the mythical Futility bowl—picked Kansas State college's football team today for a return engagement.
The Wildcats of Manhattan fought the Carnegie Tech Skibos to a scoreless stand-off in the Futility last year. They almost knocked themselves out of the running for the ®
“But their record is hard to beat,” said statistician Deke Houlgate, one-man selection board and originator of the mythical game to pick the nation's champion underdog.
His verdict for Jan. 1, 1949, was Kansas State versus Montana State university, which has won only three Pacific Coast conference games since 1941.
The Kansans got Mr. Houlgate's nod because they set a new record by losing 28 straight games then, after beating Arkansas State, proceeded to drop all the rest of their games.
They were favored to lose the Futility bowl, too, because Mr. Houlgate matched them against a team that won three games this fall, the
last by a sizeable margin over North Dakota.
In line with his policy of saving the Futility foes the embarrassment of spectators, Mr. Houlgate said he was arranging for the 1949 spectacle to be fought in the middle of the Los Alamos, N.M., atomic testing grounds with players clad in atomic laboratory smocks and tinted goggles.
"This year, we won't even have to put up a fence to keep out the crowd," he said. "Admission will be by F.B.L. pass which must be obtained not less than 30 days before Jan. 1."
Mr. Houlge was toying with the idea of setting off an atomic bomb during the halftime stunts.
"Then we wouldn't even have to go through with the second half," he said.
Chiang Resigns; China Cabinet Bids For Peace
By UNITED PRESS
A fresh, authoritative report of an impending Chinese Nationalist bid for a negotiated peace with the Communists and the simultaneous resignation of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek as president came from Nanking today.
A source high in Chinese policy-making sources said that Chiang has given full power to the new cabinet of Premier Sun Fo to choose between peace and war and will resign if the cabinet decides to make a peace bid.
The source said the cabinet's decision certainly would be to seek a negotiated peace. He said neither Russian nor joint American-Russian mediation was expected to be sought.
The chief question now, he said, is whether the Communists would be willing to settle for anything less than complete control of China. Sun Fo made it clear Monday he would accept only "an honorable peace."
Reports from the fighting fronts said the Communists are bringing some of their most powerful forces from Manchuria to a concentration point 40 miles north of Peiping in preparation for a full-scale attack on the city, second largest in China.

Gen. Douglas MacArthur received an official copy of the United States supreme court's denial of their repeal. And Allied headquarters said that the men probably would be hanged about 24 hours after the General received the notification.
