The Utah Farm Bureau InAs a service to our members, slow-movin- slow-movin- It is Christmas time again and another year comes to a close. What is there to say about Christmas that is new? Probably nothing that hasn't been said many times before. There may be a different way to say it and until the end of time speakers and writers will continue to write about old ideas to make them seem fresh and new to motivate people towards higher expectations and accomplishments. slow-movin- slow-movin- slow-movin- Most of the human race may listen to exhortations to do good from time to time, but how many people really take seriously the admonitions? When transgressions or faults of people are discussed in church, or otherwise, as an effort to cause people to improve, don't we find ourselves looking about to see those people the message may apply to? When did we last consider that the message just might be directed to "ME?" (Isn't it always Tom, Dick or Harry that needs to control his kids, slow down when driving in our neighborhood, stop gossiping, dress more neatly, support the Boy Scouts, help clean up the neighborhood or whatever may Utah Farm Bureau Service is planning to make Company these signs available at cost. The model signs come in an all-met- al surance Company is also cooperating in setting up a program to get wide acceptance of the emblem. be added to the list?) believe it was Robert Burns who wrote in poem, "Oh the gift that God would give us to see ourselves as as others see us. It would from many a blunder free us and many a foolish notion." I . To make this Christmas season more meaningful and New Year's resolutions beneficial, perhaps it is time to consider what can be done by "ME" to make the world better. And if the world seems a little large and too faraway, try starting in the home. Try saying "thanks" and "please" and "pardon me" for openers. It just may be that is where some of the young people learned how not to act, how to be ungrateful, indignant, lazy, untrustworthy, or even drug pushers.. Not more than a few weeks ago a mother who had several children in elementary school was arrested and charged with pushing drugs. How much are the "MEs" responsible for community disharmony? Could more effort have been given to promoting men ahd women of known good character, capable, and hard working for public service positions? Who is responsible for the "good" or "bad" government as the case may be? Any time people fail to do the best they can and know in their assignAn employee who doesn't do eight ments, someone gets short-changehours work for eight hours' pay, who wants "cost of living" wage ind. creases without improving productivity must take some credit. The person who thinks the public should support him because he doesn't want to work at a menial task below his dignity or a job that pays too low of a wage rate is not without guilt. Isn't it about time each of us took a long look in the mirror? It is impossible to improve the world, country, community or the home until first an awareness of the shortcomings is clearly in mind. Usually we can be sure .of;bvte thing. We can be sure that no matter how d our. secret sins and omissions may be they will be found out if others are not already aware of them. well-guarde- May this Christmas bring to mind the hope for a better world that the birth: of Jesus Christ symbolizes to the world. He set the example, mapped the course, and paid the price infinitely greater than any of us will be called to bear in this life. He provided the hope and the way to a better-mor- e flawless-wa- y of life through reshaping behavior, forgiving and forgetting, accepting each new challenge with enthusiasm and courage; have the courage to say "Yes, Me!" then we can have a better world this Christmas and after.
