PLEASE BE ON TIME! EDITORIALS hot-spic- ed The leading American automobile manufacturers learned long ago that the engineering of a good car did not assure success. Countless fine automobiles have been built by firms which did not meet the competition in advertising effort. General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler have continued to thrive while remaining the three largest newspaper advertisers in the world. The giant national firms have never lost sight of the fact that production is not complete until a sale has been made. And their continued use of the newspaper especially in the introduction of new models, reaffirms their belief in the long standing axiom that all sales are local, and the basic local medium is the community newspaper. News and views of Santaquin -Tintic BY Beulah G. Bradley There simply are not enough superlative words to express just what Christmas means to me. As I begin this column I can hear soft pealing of bells and lovely caroling floating from somewhere outside. I have such gratitude that again I must make a bigger effort to tell of the wholeness of glory within my being as I think of the priceless heritage and blessings that we have.

It seems to be wrapped in warmness of glistening tear-filleyes eyes lit radiantly by the of Christ; eyes full of caring, and Spirit ed and the finding of the exdesire to serve others.

Christmas loving is something wonderful a happening that lights faces with an indefinable shine. of a Yes, it is even the hurry-hurry modern world, made beautifully sweet in spite of the haste because the packages they carry are wrapped in special, sweet dear caring; because they fly to ones, who await their joyous message: "I love you." Oh, yes, I agree with you that Christmas is the precious trusting faces of children who walk wonderingly by to absorb the in the yard. gaily lighted pine-treChristmas is the brightly lighted blinking beauty around each of our neighborhoods, which really tells us that God lights our paths of joy and happiness. It is precious neighborliness; lasting friendfar-aw- ay es ships. Christmas is the sudden tears on faces of the elderly, (sometimes forgotten) who open doors to hear the childrens caroling; and who press warm cookies into each small hand to offer heart and love and gratitude. Is Christmas at your home a time of excited whispered confidences; of knowing nods and smiling, and oh, so many secrets and precious hiding places? Is Christmas the making of a gift for Mother and Dad at Church, at school; and the borrowing of a can of gold spray from a neighbor to glitter the gift so that the secrets can be in kept?

Christmas is surely Jesus Christ our ss ed glorious savior of mankind, who was born in a stable and lived so few years, yet is the greatest influence for good among Gods children. It is knowing and remembering how glorious and beautiful are His Good and how precious to recall and study His words of love, joy, and hope for the world: 'Come unto me all thee who are heavily laden, and I will bring you peace for I am the way the truth and the light." Christmas is remembering to thank God for the marvelous testimony that He lives and answers prayers and has arms open to call us to His way of life."

The automotive industry as a whole spent some 300 million dollars for newspaper space during the year. These figures do not include the huge amount invested in automotive advertising by local dealers, used car companies, and garages. An all inclusive figure would total more than a billion dollars. This may appear to be a great deal of money to pour into sales and promotion. But the investment should be judged in terms of results. The advertising helped bring about record sales of goods and services. It brought record profits to manufacturers and retailers.
