Santa Mrs. grass is U E B R C by Elizabeth Harkness Once when I was just a little girl someone told me that on Christmas Eve at midnight, all the animals of the world knelt down and prayed in human voices This story got me so excited, that I could hardly wait for Christmas as I could see it ' 1 vo ARD B happen The only thing was, was that I didnt have a piet to watch on Christmas Eve. I lived in an apartment building where no pets were allowed I just didnt know what to do My family was ready for Christmas early that year because my mom and dad had made some special plans for Christmas that I didnt ANO JS know about; our family was going to spend Christmas on a farm When I woke uji on Dec 23 Mom and Dad were busy packing and getting ready for the holiday I almost jumped through the roof with joy when I found out where we (TTS) U The true meaning were going Christmas is and the first when Jesus was born Mary and Joseph, Jesus parents, had gone into You see, didnt know much Jesus' birthday, about why there was a Christmas was I Now I was Christmas, didnt just a little know that it was Jesus' birthday, I didnt even know that the reason for giving gifts was because of love. I even thought the reason for the animals getting down on their knees and praying, was so they would get what they wanted for Christmas It was because I didnt have the Christmas Spirit At almost midnight on Christmas Eve daddy sat me on his lap and said: Honey dont be expecting to see the animals kneel down and pray It just might not happen, and I dont want you to get too upset if they dont I wasnt going to sit and listen to him say that it wasnt true, and I was just about to jump up and get real mad at him when he said this: girl I the city of Bethlehem to be taxed While they were there, there was no room in the hotel, Inn, for them to stay, so they stayed in a barn, stable. That night Jesus was born in the stable, and shephards came down out of the hills to see him, and also some wise men came and brought Jesus than a time for getting presents, but as the birthday of Jesus, who has a great love for all of us, and to remember the people we love and let them know we love them by giving them gifts. Every since that night I have had the Christmas spirit, and enjoy giving gifts to the people that I love. God bless you and may you all have a very merry Christmas some gifts of love tq him. It was because of all the love Jesus spread and his wonderful teachings that people decided to celebrate his birthday each year by giving gifts to people we love I went out to the barn to see the animals, and while I was there I thought about what daddy had said Finally I realized that the story was just to show us that we should think of Christmas as more Spirit of Christmas To catch the real meaning Spirit of Christmas we need only to drop the last NYDWE DUJ of the syllable becomes Christ of the word and it the Spirit of Y AN E Official J Dave's Barber the abyss of socialism.

All governmental controls of oil and natural gas The powers of govern- mental agencies should be examined, restricted where abuse has occurred, and be more clearly defined. 3. The provisions of regulatory legislation, such as the National Environmental Policy Act, should be amended to prevent abuse of business should be eliminated. 5. A more effective system of accountability should be instituted for Federal employees so as to reduce their ability to make arbitrary and capricious decisions. 6. Specific time limits should be placed upon Federal agencies within which they must make the decisions affecting control of business activities. system of incentive pay should be instituted to reward those Federal employees who make suggestions and who institute programs which eliminate wasteful practices in government and lead to greater efficiency. 8. Efforts should be made to force Federal agencies to coordinate their activities more closely with each other to eliminate duplication of regulatory actions and to discourage agencies from competing with each other in growth, and in areas of responsibility. 7.
