That star still sheds its light over the world and at this time of year man lifts his eyes to it and the glow from it kindles in his heart that fire which we know as the Christmas spirit. JWENTY J This year the Christmas star shines more brightly than ever before for it is a star of hope. Behind us lie the dark years of depression and defeat, of fear and foreboding, of economic disaster and social disorder. During the past year we have come up from the valley of gloom and started once more to scale the heights toward the light. The star of hope is leading us on to a richer life, richer in spiritual values as well as material values. Let us keep our eyes firmly fixed on that star. Let the glow from it warm our hearts with the true spirit of Christmas with charity .with kindness, with friendliness, with forgiveness, with forgetfulness for the past and hope for the future. Let us join together in keeping the spirit of Christmas alive in our community not only on Christmas day but on every day of the year; let us support community enterprises, foster a stronger community spirit and make our community a better place in which to live. To that endeavor the encouragement, the aid and the leadership of your Home Towa Paper is pledged by THE PUBLISHERS ii-- fifRl An ft Copyright, December 22, 1933 . Agp SCH0OU tlIlle 13 11 now. Rita?"

They slewed around another curve; the lights seemed to climb forever, the plunge. With deft skill Rita controlled the car. They passed Into a lonely stretch.

TEMPERANCE EDUCATION URGED 19-1- The problem of liquor control is receiving widespread attention. Units of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers are studying the use and effects of alcohol ; they are urging the education of children and young people concerning the evil effects of alcohol, and they are lending their support to legislative measures to secure adequate regulation of the liquor industry in each state. These activities have grown out of a resolution adopted by the National Congress of Parents and Teachers at its 1933 convention. The resolution reads: "We belive that the teaching of scientific facts about the effect of alcohol, devoid of emotion and propaganda, should be a part of the curriculum of the public school. "We reaffirm our stand for the strict and impartial enforcement of all acts regulating the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages. "We put ourselves on record as being unalterably opposed to advertisment of alcoholic liquors by means of the radio and urge that Congress units take such appropriate action as will make this advertising impossible." Dr. Willis A. Sutton, Superintendent of Schools, Atlanta, Ga., in outlining a plan of work for the National Congress Committee on Study of the Use and Effect of Alcohol, and Narcotics, states ; "The major objectives of the year's work of this committee is to transfer our attention from the matter of the enforcement of any one particular law to the underlying and basic principle of educating and training our young people to understand the evil effects that come from alcohol and narcotics and to live lives in keeping with this knowledge. This, we will be the solution of all the problems involved in the question of alcohol and narcotics." be-.lie- I5y Giving A Person a Subscription to the BEAVER PRESS You enable Him to receive, week after week for an entire year or more according to the ..length of duration of the subscriptionall the news of his home town together with many extremely interesting special features.

They streaked through the speed, reached place at break-necthe town limit, and tore on. Again the car careened, slewed, caught itself Just In time. The engine roared. The passing scenery was a blur of black. "Good old engine," Rita once said. Five minutes to twelve. They entered another town. "Not arrested yet . . . it's a miracle," cried Billy. But this time they were not so fortunate. A policeman stood In the street holding up his hand. Had the street been wide Rita would have ignored him, but cars were parked on either side; a trolley had stopped near the officer. She simply could not make it, without killing him. With a grinding of brakes, s skillfully managed slew, she drew op beside him. Before he could speak she leaned out. "Tell us the time . . . quickly I" Her anxious face with its white look of strain startled the man. "We've got to make it. Don't keep us . . . we'll come back . . . pay anything " The officer drew out his watch. "It's exactly four minutes to eleven." Rita appeared to collapse, to grow small and limp all In a moment.
