A MERRIER XMAS The Post Office Department, In order to facilitate the hamdling of Christmas mail, has asked that busi ness concerns in large centers suspend, so far as is possible, the mailing of quantities of circulars, catalogues, etc., from December 16th to 26th. If the public will cooperate to the extent of shopping early and mailnig early, it will help provide a merrier Christmas for many an overworked postal employe, messenger boy, clerk and business man. PROTECT THE DRIVER Dr. Charles Norris, chief medical examiner of New York City, has a novel suggestion for reducing traffic accidents. He would fine reckless walkers who increase accidents, and would also prevent them instituting suits against automobile drivers who were not at fault. There is merit in this plan. It is an all too common thing for pedestrians to attempt to beat an automobile across a street or to oppose the y stop light or to dispute with a vehicle. But these same erring pedestrians, when struck, are the first to rush to law to attempt to get redress for their injuries. The careful and competent automobile owner, in many instances, now "holds the sack. He is in constant danger of accident through no fault of his own. And the careless d and pedestrian is one of his major worries. There is no end of suggestions, which, theoretically, would curb the reckless, but few planB have been made to protect the rights and pocket book of the careful and conscientious motorist.

It also means a pleasant two hours spent either witnessing a football game or hearing it over the radio. Then there is the Thanksgiving dinner. The delicious, steeping turkey and all the "trimmins, and after that, those incomparable pies, and plum puddings that make mother the best cook in the world. Now let us consider the serious side of Thanksgiving. There is no happier time in a lifetime than the hours of family reunion that we enjoy in eating and in chatting. When our Pilgrim Fathers landed upon this continent, they found a bleak, barren country, infested with savages. Many died of starvation and cold that first winter. Only they could appreciate the meroy of God, when they gathered in their crops the following autumn., Desiring to show their gratitude, they called the Indians to join them in a three-da- y fea6t to thank Almighty God for His mercy and many blessings. Today, we still observe that historic celebration. However, we celebrate amid more favorable circumstances. We are citizens of that great commonwealth, the United States of America; we are better off financially than any other nation on earth. Then, too, each person has many things, Individually, that he is very thankful for. Thanksgiving day, then, besides meaning a good time, is a day upon which we can show our appreciation and gratitude for the comforts and privileges we enjoy. two-da- Hewlett end Tuesday daughter Barbara, left at St. George lng for their home a th eek Utah, after spending Mr. and .

But I notice Im still here and since I like the job all right, I guess Ill stay. Im beginning to find out Mr. Farr is a pretty nice in man to work for, too some ways. One thing Ive noticed since Ive been the official ad writer here, and that is the customers who come in the store and act like theyve been here before.
