Chuck is compatable with youth whether he is oq of the highway giving aid or in a classroom lecturing on safety factors. He also aids his fellowman as a member of the Fifth Ward Bishopric in Payson. The View From Here By Ruth Roth TDaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat A MODERN CHRISTMAS FABLE many years prophets foretold the coming of a tiny babe who would become a Savior to mankind. A star in the east announced his birth and wise men traveled to the place of his birth to take treasures of gold, frankincense and myyrh and to worship him. The ruler of that country feared him and sought to destroy him but the child was protected and grew to manhood. He became known for his teachings and for the love he showed to others. He healed the sick and disabled, and great multitudes followed him. His way was the way of love and truth and the good life. He walked the surrounding countryside, a poor man, dressed in simple clothing. Some say he was bearded and wore his hair long. Others say he wore a robe of rough textured cloth, it cannot be agreed whether he wore sandals or went bare foot. He died a young man. Down through the centuries the story has somehow become distorted, but because of his worthwhile, exemplary life and the love he showed in word and deed For two and one-ha- lf pounds of Pixie, a Mexican Chihuahua, extends to you a very Merry Christmas) All LlbT0WN m AGROUND by B Davis Evans Smalltown, Utah, UJ5.A. December, 1909 Dear Santa: I just turned eight the other day and ever since I turned seven a year ago I have tried to be a good boy: I have carried at least twobuckets of water into-thhouse from our flowing well every day and on washdays I have carried many more than two. I have placed kindling in our woodbox every evening all year so that mother can make a fire each morning. After each snow storm, I have swept the snow from our walks from the house to the street and from the house to our outhouse. I have milked our cow night and morning and it was not my fault that she put her foot in the bucket a couple of times. As you probably know I got a spanking for what our dumb cow did, but please remember Santa, Im just turned eight. And Santa Ive taken my bath every Saturday night whether I needed it or not. I weeded the garden every Tuesday all summer. Ive cut the lawn all by myself. Ive also helped Jimmy Roberts with his paper route; I earned $10.00 doing it. Oh yes, I went to church every Sunday except a couple when I went fishing, but remember Santa a seven year old boy should go fishing occasionally shouldnt he? Now Santa I only want a few things for Christmas: Please bring me a sleigh. It doesnt have to be a great big one like Billys. Id be happy with one just my size. Im eight. I would like a pair of mittens and a sweater and I guess thats about all. I dont think Im asking I hope. for too much Yours truly, Jonney Jones Smalltown, Utah, U.S.A. December, 1969 Dear Santa: I suppose you are aware of the fact that Christmas will soon be here and I want to get my order in early as I need many things this year and I wouldnt want you overlooking anything. Here is a list of the things I want you to bring me: A Chemistry set, one that an eight year old boy can use; skiis, bindings, poles, goggles, gloves, etc. I would also like a set of trains, diesels please, I have a steam type but its old fashioned. I also want a car set with roads and underpasses and all that stuff and I also need a new model airplane. I guess thats all I can think of now, but Ill find it hard getting along without any of the things mentioned. Ive been a good boy this past year: Ive carried the milk in from the front porch every morning; Ive placed the dirty dishes in the dishwasher; I dont think its fair that I have to take them out. Mary should have something to do. Ive helped my mom make my bed three or four times; Ive checked on the thermometer so that our furnace will heat the house properly. I bring in the paper, walk the dog and watch television. Please dont forget to come to our house on Christmas. Yours truly Jonney Jones Jr. ID Theres been a change in kids in the last 60 years.

They commemorated the day through church services, singing carols, festivities with a spirit of kindness and giving gifts to others. They called this special day Christmas. As days and years and centuries went by various customs originated concerning Christmas. These included decorating Christmas trees, using holly, mistletoe, and the yule log. Gift giving symbolized the gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh brought by the wise men to the tiny babe long years ago. Then somehow Saint Nicholas, the Children became popular in the Christmas celebration. He later became known as Santa Claus and was widely known for his snow white hair and beard, a hearty happy laugh, he dressed in a fancy red suit with white fur trim and carried a large bag of toys and other gifts. It is a sad thing, but as years went by some people became confused and at times when they thought of Christmas they remembered and paid reverence only to the man in red with the snowy hair and beard and many little children thought it was Santas Birthday they were celebrating. For some people the young man with dark hair and beard in the simple robe was forgotten entirely. Today many are still confused and find themselves wondering who the dark haired man is that they remember vaguely hearing .of long ago. Some seek joy at the Christmastime and not finding it in the tinsel and gayiety of the ways of the red suited man, do not realize that they must seek the dark haired young man who lived and died so long ago and follow his age old teaching if they will find true joy and happiness this Christmas and in the Christmases to come.

Our portion and Ds Ds, nationally known vocal completed a record album ' recently trio, that musicaUy depicts the struggles and heroism of the early settlers of Utah and the West. The Three Ds are originally local men, including Dick Davis, Duane Hiatt, Payson; and Dennis Sorensen, Spanish Fork. The album, entitled, Heritage Songs and Scenes of the Mormon Epoch, includes dramatic and humorous scenes, narrative and characterizations in addition to the music. It retells the story of the early Mormons who were driven from state to state on the American frontier and describes their eventual settlement in Utah. The work was produced in Hollywood by Continental Records, and is an extended three-recoset. It covers such subjects as Heroes and Villains of the Early Days, Songs of the Great Trek, and the colonizing of the West. Although the musical arrangements have been modernized, the songs are authentic of the period, says Dick Davis, musical arranger for the trio. The Three Ds were influenced by Professor Thomas Cheney of the BYU English faculty and a renowned folklorist. Professor Cheneys work in the area of Mormon folklore has become well-knoand he discussed many of the folk songs and tales with the members of the trio, thus inspiring much of their work. 7 1HF God bless you t 4 V |
