CARTER SWAIM Director, Department of thft KiiRllsh Bihle, National Council of Churches. (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first of a series of seven stories on the. people in the Biblical report on the birth of Christ, written hy leading authority on the English Bible.) The ancient world had no better way of fixing time than by reference to the reigning monarch.

Luke (1:5) dates the birth of Jesus "in the days of Herod, king of Ju- dca." In a frantic effort to get rid of any who might take his throne, King'Herod "lulled all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under" (Mat. But that was iot and unprecedented example of his cruelty: he had already murdered two of his own sons, suspected of plotting against him. Many kings bore tbe name, of Herod, but this one is called Herod the Great. The title was bestowed by the Romans for carrying out in his part of the world the grandoise plans of Augustus. Herod gratified his dreams of magnificence by an extensive building program, which included the reconstruction of the temple in Jerusalem, and the erection of the luxurious quarters for his wives, of whom there were ten all at one time.

He decreed that on the day he himself died, all the leading citizens should be put to death. This was to insure that there would be mourning in the land! Augustus said he would Puppet rather be Herod's pig than his son. All that Herod did was done with an eye to perpetuating his sovereignty. It was to make his throne secure that Herod slew the infants. But what a strange reversal is here! History has put the Child at the pinnacle.

Luke dates the birth of Jesus "In the days of Herod, king of Judea" (Luke Now there is another point of reference one that does not change. Everything now is dated before and after Christ. The reference books even say that Herod became king in 37 B. (Next: The innkeeper.)

A University of Kentucky student left on a trip Friday night without knowing it was planned as a one-way affair.

Roger Ladenburger, a member of Kappa Sigma fraternity, was enroute to Miami, where he expected to meet a national fraternity officer. Fraternity pledges, who claimed Ladenburger wielded his power as an active member a little too heavily, said they bought a one-way airline ticket and told him the national officer would provide expenses and return transportation. After Ladenburger hoarded the plane at Cincinnati, the pledges sent a. message to await him at Miami: "Getting back to 8 o'clock class Monday is strictly your own problem. Have fun!" Ladenburger reportedly had only $2 with him.

The only sour note injected into the awards Riven nostalgic to motion George picture stars, directors and camera'ufn who reigned from to 1B25 was the mention of Charles Chaplin. Chaplin refused to allow any of his pictures to he shown along with the other old films of those early days. I've never heard such an ominous silence as when his name came. up. In contrast was the applause Buster Keaton, whose gra.ve illness prevented him from being present.

I wish he could have lioa.rd the spontaneous tribute paid him. Looking at the young Pickford, Mae Marsh, Ronald Colman, Harold Lloyd, Cecil B.

(AP Wlrephoto) Boyle Column NEW YORK I nomi- lated the dandelion as America's lational flower about a year ago, here was some ruckus. The proposal- seemed to step on a lot of green was almost as if I'd done something indecent, such as suggesting sfill- ng kindergarten children into slavery. Gardeners all over the land vrote in to denounce me as an diot and the dandelion as a post. ilost of them agreed that if Amrica picked a national flower it ought to be the rose. Well, that seemed like a copy cat idea if I'd ever heard of one.

Too many countries already have the rose. But I shut up on the sub- iect, since what I don't know ibout flowers would fill a mighty vase. Rebuttal Ready Now Today, however, I'd like to present a rebuttal to all the thorny rose lovers in the form of a letter written by Win Haynes of Greenville, Pa. Here is what reader Haynes wrote: 'I have been in the nursery business for a number of years and for the life of me. I can't see why anyone would have anything to do with a rose.

If you get near a rosebush it goes a.t you llks a wildcat. If you approach it wearing rawhide gloves, thereby avuid- ng bloodshed, not to say poisoning, it will do its best to give you rose fever or shake off some of its loving insects on you.

Let it get wet feet' and it curls up and Jies you want it to bloom, you lave to feed It like a horse, and it is finicky about its food. "It has almost as many disease; and enemies as the human race you are fortunate enough to start with a rosebush that doesn't already have black spot, you can bet it will rush right out and get some kind of fungus. "If, through constant dusting and spraying with the whole cala- og of fungicides, contact sprays and poison sprays you get your plant to live long enough to pro- dlioe a bud, let three drops of rain fall and the next day there a cluster of aphids all over the bud.

"Again, let it survive that hazard and the thrip may prevent the bud from opening. Once a bud opens into a flower, a myriad of rose chaffers, Japanese beetles and other bugs stand poised like vultures to devour it. Roses? Pfah and Pfutt! Need Genius to Kill "But take the dandelion.

Virtual Pharmacopoeia "Besides brightening your soul with its sunny bloom, the dandelion furnishes a virtual pharmacopoeia all by itself.
