They sought only a haven where they could practice their own ideas without interference. They fled from an England which placed many a restriction on the individual’s right to freedom. So 162 the Pilgrims celebrated the first Christmas in Americ and the Holy Day has been brated every year since then. In 1644, the ob- servahice of Christmas in England was forbidden by an act of Parliament. The Pilgrims probably could not know that the sprout of liberty which they planted along the rocky shores of North America in 1620 would one day so flourish that the day would come when millions of Americans, British, Chinese, Russians and others of kindred beliefs would be willing to sacrifice all the material things they hold dear in order to protect this concept of liberty and freedom. in cel M1AS EDITION CHRIN Today's Daily Alaska Empire, the annual Christ- mas Edition, is 30 pages, made possible by the sincere desire of the business men of Juneau and elsewhere to send their Christmas greetings to the people of this community. As in the past, The Empire will not be published tomorrow, but will resume publication on Monday. ‘To our advertisers who make this publication to our readers who make it worth while, to this eternal Holy Day fulfill your every wish possible Release of News (Cincinnati Enquirer) It has been most embarrassing to American news agencies that the first authentic reports on the Cairo conference came from a dispatch accredited to the semi-official Britisk ncy, Reuters men prize their ability to give fa to the public break, or as soon as they officially are released. It was a blow for journalists in this country to have to credit a British agency with releasing information which had been known here long before the story first was given open publicity New The on for the delay in publication of reports by United tes agencies was not their lack of in- formation.
