"Unto You Is Born A Saviour
And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria. And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David. To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
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 so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were in 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.

Fire Chief Lists Fire Precautions
"Because fires at Christmas time can spoil many happy gatherings, there are simple precautions if properly taken, which can prevent many of these dangers," said Fire Chief John W. Miller of the Lawrence fire department.
3. Keep the light switch away from the tree.
4. Make sure the tree and all holiday decorations have been treated with fire resistant materials.
Good Time To Sing 'Jesus Loves Me'
These examples were listed by Chief Miller: 1. Do not place a Christmas tree in front of a door.
The lower branches of the Christmas tree were sagging with too much tinsel after being decorated by 27 youngsters at a fraternity's Christmas party for underprivileged children. An overstuffed Santa Claus had just made his visit and the children gathered around the piano to sing Christmas carols.
2. Keep the tree in water so it will not dry out.
After several favorites had been sung, the children were asked to make requests. One curly 4-year-old raised her hand and said, "Let's all sing 'Jesus Loves Me.'"
Both officials asked that vacationers make sure that all electrical Christmas decorations are turned off, that furances or stoves are safe, and that all doors are securely locked.
Chief Skillman appealed to students for safe driving on the road home, and warned students to make sure windshield wipers and defrosters are working to insure clear vision.
man, chief of the campus police, and John Miller, Lawrence fire chief.
"We already have a 15 percent increase in the number of deaths on Kansas highways this year," Chief Skillman said. "Failure to observe passing and speed zones when approaching congested areas has been one of the main reasons for the increase."
Daily hansan
"During Thanksgiving vacation we had no reported fires, thefts, or break-ins," Chief Skillman said, "and we would like to keep the good record."
Safe Driving Appeal
"Even when the road markings indicate that it is safe to pass, be sure you have sufficient clearance." Chief Skillman said. "A happy Christmas vacation can be turned into a terrible tragedy by failure to observe passing laws."
Chief Skillman also warned students to take their valuables with them when they leave.
Take Valuables
Chief Miller said that if at all possible, fraternities, sororities, and other non-University owned organized houses should leave someone in charge at their houses during the entire vacation.
