Whatever you do, do not fear that the meaning has been lost in the bright trappings of gifts, and ornamented trees and great feasts. No, Christmas is more real this year than ever before since that first night when, there was no room at the inn. Look not outward, but look within your heart, and know that this is true: However imperfect man may be, on this, the natal day of the Savior, he is a little nearer to the Divine plan. - - Mac Robinette, our chief of police, has appointive nearly completed his two-yetermin that office, and now might be a logical time to mention a point weve observed induring the two years.

Theres a world of opportunity for friction between the two offices and officers. There is overlapping jurisdiction, and at the same time differences in jurisdiction and authority that might lead to resentment and jealousy. It could happen and has hapjiened in places not far away that the two offices and their heads could be at throughout their terms. This has not been the case here, and we take the wvrd of both the chief and the sheriff for it. Neither, so far as we know, has tried to grab off credit or headlines for his own department at the expense of the other. So win. lose or draw, Mac, we hand it to you. You've certainly got along nicely with the sheriff.

Multiply this by years, and you have a total representing a tremendous contribution toward the bettermen of our1 schools and the service of our townspeople and their children, it has been our observation that "Mr. Price never has taken the school board job lightly.

There were no decisions condidnt matter. fronting that body that Every decision was important, and likely immediately to effect, to some degree, the lives of those 5,000 young people. Mr. Price has served the people who chose him for that job to the best of his considerable ability. He has tried to carry out the wishes of the majority, honestly and fairly, and always has brought his best judgment to the task. Public appreciation due him for Jiis ten years service is beyond the jHivver of words to excess. But he must realize that service to his fellow man is its own reward. The last sentence is a telling one; in it is the story of the faithfulness of his service, his interest in the job, the fact that he put this public service above many other things. Mr. Price has missed but two regular board meetings during his term of service. A v (I Snj eh!isUMS ar tom top executive to every employee, w send you our best wishes.
