Joseph and and Mary "went up from Galilee, from the ety of Nazareth, to Judea, 5 the city of David, which is called Bethlehem." Nazareth is on Israel's side of today's war front, Bethlehem is in Arab territory. From Nazareth to Bethlehem, the direct route strikes south through the biblical Plain of Es- |b: draelon, scene of many historic battles. There would have taken them south to Jerusalem.

Antonio Bonin, vicar-general of Manchuria, told - Sunday of 10 months in a Com- Jovaist prison camp and tive years ed residence. er Bonin, 52-year-old native of Fr ictte, Que., spent 25 years in China. He was ordered out Nov. 15, along with Rev. Alphonse Caouette, 41, of Matane, Que. Both were told never to return. The banishment was the last in a long series of insults and torture heaped on Father Bonin since the Communists took control of China. His ordeal started in 1947 when he was imprisoned on a charge of ying for Nationalist China' and th nited States. "There were 28 of us housed in a cell 20 feet long and 10 feet wide," the priest told a reporter. "We had to sleep on our sides be- cause there wasn't even enough room for us to stretch out on our backs.

I saw one of my compan- ions beaten to death in this manner by seven or eight torturers working in relays." The people of China have never come to accept the Communist re- gime, despite all the promises made by their leaders, the mis- sionary said. "However, it is useless to hope for an armed revolt," he added. "First of all the rebels lack arms. And the Chinese peasant is fearful by nature.

The officials of District 7 of the Ontario Secondary School Teach- ers Federation announced the de- cision after a closed meeting.
