Show universal Microfilm Corp. M Pierpont Ave. ' Winners in 1964 Christmas Lighting And Outdoor Decorating Contest What would Christmas be like without decorative lights? It would be like having no mistletoe or holly or even Santa Claus himself. Home lighting projects are fun and fascinating. You may get lost for a while in fragrant boughs but it's worth it. The spirit of Cltristmas the feeling of peace on earth, good will toward men glowed from more than 120 homes in Beaver this year. This was commenable! Last year, the committee in charge of decorations informed us that there were around 90 homes that participated in this public service. This is certainly a public service since so many of us enjoy the efforts of those who put forth the effort to decorate. . Ranging from the simple to the elaborat, outdoor Christmas ligting has shown growth in recent years. A few years ago, only a handful of homes were decorated. Many of the homes decorators this year were not interested in the contest but they all felt a glow of pride and satisfaction in their little display and it can be safely said, the night of Saint Nick's visit, this jolly old man surely noticed these homes first. After much deliberation, the committee decided to judge on originality and change of theme. Many homes were beautiful and worthy of prizes but they were very much the same as last year and had received consideration in last year's contest. As a result, new names were added to the list this year. The committee wants to thank every single person who helped in this project to make our town a shining light. They feel that mighty few towns could equal Beaver's display. They sincerely hope that next year will find as many more homes joining this trend that is rapidly becoming a holiday tradition. This extra effort helped to give a feeling of unity and what better time of year is there to have unity than at Christmas.

Bishop Bud Hendrix gave a Bank Asserts Lack of Recognition of 'the Pharmaceutical Industry's Vital Role is Threat to the Future In a publication issued this week, Empire Trust Company, New York, points out that lack of understanding of the Pharmaceutical industry's tion to the national welfare and prevailing antipathetic attitudes in legislative circles jeopardize both the public interest and the pharmaceutical industry's future As the bank's Newsletter says "The U.S. pharmaceutical industry has become the subj2ct of attack and rebuttal, claim and counter-claito an extent perhaps unparalleled in the recsnt history of any other American industry. As a result, the industry's magnificent achievements, its monumental role in the prevention, cure and alleviation of disease, have become obscured in the public mind." The U.S. pharmaceutical industry's problems are complex, the Letter states and it is essential that they be recognized and not only by legiappreciated slative and regulatory bodies, but by the public on its own interest. The Letter also details the industry's vast investments in research and the resultant health benefits to the nation and to the free world. '"But the pharmaceutical industry cannot continue to make its vital contributions to the conquest of such critical problems as cancer, heart disease, geriatric ailments and mental health if it is hobbled by purely political or vindictive regulation "The industry today does more for the health and welfare of mankind than does any other industry in the world," the Letter states, and cites a spectrum of supporting statistics. For example, twenty - five years ago, New York City reported over 12,000 cases of who0 ping cough with 105 deaths. Last year there were 212 cases deaths, none. In 19J5, 70,080 Americans died of tuberculosis; in 1963, 9,311. Furthermore, in the 25 years between 1935 and 1960, prescription drugs saved the lives of two million working-age victims of only four 'killer diseases pneumonia, influenza, tuberculosis and syphilis.
