Kennedy in the way he pronounced certain words, delivered a well-written speech which tickled the funny bone of Bethlehem's citizens, especially when he described the controversies which have surrounded the Christmas stamps since they were first printed in 1M2.

One year, in order to "silence our critics," he said, four different stamps were issued with "harmless" pictures of a sprig of holly, a pine, a mistletoe and a poinscttia. "Well," Murphy said, "it was the Insidious mistletoe that got us into trouble. It was very early brought to our attention that mistletoe Is a pagan symbol, dear to the hearts of the Druid who probably enjoyed drinking human blood." After the ceremony, everything returned somewhat to normal on the main drag of rural Beth Short, the governor's press secretary who accompanied Maddox. "Years ago I scored 50 points in a basketball game in this very gym," Short whispered as the governor was telling the gathering that "God is not dead, he's not even sick." The man probably most responsible for bringing the commemoration ceremony to this tiny hamlet, which is only four miles from Winder, the home of Sen. Richard B.

It was quite an honor for Bethlehem Postmaster Lamar Bidgeway, but it will also mean more work than ever in the coming weeks. "In past years," he said, "we've handled about 20,000 Christmas cards a year from Seople who wanted the Bethle-em postmark. Many people even box them up and send them from all over the country, and even from foreign countries, so we can stamp their letters and cards here." Ridgeway has hired 43 extra employes to help process the half-million pieces of mail expected to be sent from here with the first-day-of-issue date of Nov.

Lester Maddox flew from Atlanta for the ceremony and said that "sometimes there's magic in a name," like Bethlehem, and it sure was "wonderful to be bach in Maddox Country."
