To Bring Not Peace But A Sword The joyous Christmas bells and carols ring out to celebrate the birthday of the Prince of Peace.

But His was not a coexistence peace. He strove for peace on earth for men of good will, not for evil-doers. He brought the message that peace IS possible on earth ONLY to men of good will. 4 As has been so ably pointed out by Rev. Chalmers Coe of the historical Mt.

Vernon Church in Boston, Christ said I came to bring not peace but a sword. In contrast to the co-existers, the namby-pamby people who blink at any evil, any wrong, for the sake of remaining at peace inside the nation or with foreign nations, the Son of God had a sword of righteousness. His angers were holy angers. Jesus whipped the money-changers from the temple at Jerusalem. He waged a bitter war on the Pharisees and Saddu-cees, the established worthies of His day.

As Forrest Davis emphasized in a recent column in the CINCINNATI ENQUIRER: He was a highly conten- tious prophet, a stirring insurrection against the authorities and the existing order of things. Davis also affirmed, it was not Our Lord who uttered the consoling phrase. Peace on earth, good will toward men, but the herald angels. He, Himself, was always ready to draw the sword on behalf of those who were right and against the wrong folks. What must Christ think today of ministers who urge support for the UN, where no praver to God can be offered? YL Would the Christ who drove the money-changers from the temple, the righteous Christ, be content with a comfortable nation such as ours, who goes its careless way to a happy Christmas, while.

American boys, guilty of no crime, rot In the torture chambers of Communist China? Would Christ support co-existence with the very devil himself? Americans know the answer, but do the politicians in Washington? Let us celebrate the birthday of the Prince of righteousness, but let us also follow in His train.

Says Aiken MONTPELIER (UP) Senator George D. Aiken is optimistic about Vermont and the nations future farm outlook. Aiken said today good times appear ahead for farmers during the forseeable future. He noted that milk consumption in Vermont was up by five or six per cent and that the outlook appeared good for a continued rise. In an interview at Montpelier, the Senator said he doubted that there would be any major changes in the GOP farm program under a Democratic controlled Congress.

He noted that a decline in farm prices prior to passage of the Administrations agricultural procram this year was leveling off. Vermonts senior Senator also no ed that research, education and development of new markets, will play a major part in insuring a brighter future for the nation's farmers. He estimated a 10 per cent gain 'n farm exports during the coming year and a hike in wheat shipments because of poor crops elsewhere. On the state political scene, Aiken defended his foie in the rnt gubernatorial election. He.

said the Democrats had openly attacked his farm program and hen he was extended an invitation to come into the state and tell the truth he accepted it. He termed the State Republican Committees plan to attract nw blood to the party a good idea And agreed that the close- nf-ss of the gubernatorial election made it vitally neorssary. The Senator also stressed the need for improved highways, power development and new in-dusiry in Vermont. President Eisenhower's proposed 50 billion highway program he held would be felt in Vermont within a two-year period. He expressed the op'nion that the coming Legislature would act to secure additional power from the St.

Mr. Salisbury, whose resignation from government service takes effect on December 31, said this morning no official information has been received from Washington, concerning the border patrol sector headquarters, which will be located heie. However, a persistent rumor from the nation's capital indicates that Donald Rex Kelley, now stationed with the central office, has been named to head the local office. Mr.

Ksiley is no stranger to St. Albans, for. two years ago, he was placed, in charge of an investigation which resulted in the crack-down on a smuggling ring, operating across the Canadian border.

The Loeb newspapers have long advocated a Boston to Montreal superhighway swinging through Vermont. More recently, Senator George D. Aiken has urged hat Vermont get busy on its section. He recommends a tollroad from White River Junction on the southeast, swinging up past Barre, Montpelier, Waterbury, Burlington, St. Albans and thence on to the Canadian border.

Eventually Canada woulJ build on up to Montreal. New Hampshire is currently constructing a tollread from the Massachusetts line north through Nashua and Manchester to Concord. Plans call for an eventual extension to the While Mountains. A natural development of this will be a western arm to Hanover and then to White River Junction to meet the Vermont Turnpike. Big roadblock at present is a segment of Vermont opinion some In high official position, that the state should remain a rustic reservation for tourists.

The fact that this results in Vermonts youth emigrating to other states for Jobs is not regarded as important. But Route 123 in Massachusetts is teaching a lesson which should interest many Vermonters. Theres lots of room for industrial improvement.

Purpose of the road was to relieve Boston's narrow streets of the added burden of through traffic, and to relieve travelers of the burden of moving- through( crowded Boston. This bypass is completed to its full width for only half its length.
