STATE 7.0235 ST. DRAFT LIKELY TO BE STRICTER Race Ban and Check on Athletes Give Hint Closing of race tracks by James F. Byrnes, director of war mobilization, and his calling upon draft boards to recheck the status of professional athletes who are not in the armed forces last night by draft board 'members in this area as creased evidence that the Federal Government intends to enforce "work or Aght" edict. Individual draft boards here have been warning registrants to take war jobs unless they wish to go into immediate service in the armed forces but thus far the response has been small. Many of those in nonessential work apparently have not felt that the threat was likely to be carried out.
Now that the Federal Government actually is moying to eliminate racing and is getting after the athletes, it is the expectation of some board members that even the rank and of registrants will take more heed. War factories in this area are crying for more help and yet cannot hope to get it so long as large numbers of the public are permitted to remain in in nonessential work, one board chair. man said. He offered the opinion that Byrnes' move is only the first of sevoral which will be made to build up the ranks of war workers. 800 Children Receive Gifts Eight hundred children received Christmas gifts from Santa Claus, Impersonated following Alfred the Tussior.

Hope Congregational Dr. John Homer Miller, preaching at lope Congregational Church yesterday, on the topic "Christ and the 'common man." He said in part: Today the world definitely is divided into two camps: in one are the which degrade human life by making man subservient to the state, and in the other is Christ who liberates human life, lift it up by appealing to to give. their ultimate allegiance, localty and obedience to God alone. Right here the common man made the greatest mistaxe in all his history when he chose to live in world of 'isms' rather than in a world of Christ. Just when the common man had his liberation within sight, he sold himself hack into slavery, 'The greatest mistake he has made in all time was when in the past few decades he gaVe his uiti.ma°e loyalty which belongs to God alone to A social system in exchange for peonomic security; when he decided he would rather be fed than free.
Now he finds that he has neither food nor frecdom. The common man's greatest mistake was when he gave to Caesar not only the things that belong to Caesar, but also gave to Caesar thines that belong to alone. "Now the awfulness of mistake dawning upon him. Ile is beginning to see that all that been done for him by those whom gave his ultimate loyalty wax done for no other reason than to win his favor, buy his loyalty, get his vote, and above all, to keep him quiet, make him subservient to the social system in which he was a citizen. He is beginning to see that those to whoni ho his ultimate loyalty look uron him as no better than slave, as sheep ready for slaughter.
The truth Christ proclaimed long ago is now dawning upon him. Man is free in any social system only when he gives his central allegiance and loyalty to something higher and greater than the social system. Grimshaw to Lead Religious Meeting Dr. Ivan G.
