I saw the lights of Christmas Upon a city street tired I watched the people they walked with weary feet. Is this the light of Christmas The radiance of a star? Are these the eager pilgrims Bearing gifts afar? I saw the shining wonder In a childs uplifted lace, And I knew the star of Christmas Had found Its resting place. Tower. As We would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. It should matter very little whether we get many or few gifts Christmas morning, but rather In the joyous associations of love and friendships that a bound during this . season. Love and friendship grows only as we give It away. If we would have much, we must give much. So, we wish for each of you the most happy season ever.

The other evening, during one of the presentations of the Messiah, some of the ladles singing had their youngsters on a front bench of the audience, where they could keep a watchful eye on them. They were real good and presented no problem. But, as one of the soloists stood up to sing, her little daughter was heard to whisper to the other youngsters beside her, In a tone that was clearly audible through much of the auditorium, "She And of sings loud.

Hey, by the way, if you noticed a couple o f weeks ago that the temperature In the "weather column showed a cold 17 below zero for one night, dont believe it. It was a typographical error. R should have been 17 above. The little line got there by mistake. It did cause some conversation, however, and the Taylors who read the gauges received several phone calls wondering about the authenticity of the report, as we did here. However, for many others, it must have been accepted as a fact. But actually, we have had no such cold weather. In fact, this has probably been the warmest fall on record, and last Sunday was no exception when new records were set. In case you missed it, Sunday was the first day of winter. The wind the last few days hasnt been too welcome, but then try to picture that wind blowing over the top of about two feet of snow. We can take the wind when it is warm, but with a little snow, wed all be hibernated by now. N.
