Kimball, President of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, gives annual Christmas message to followers throughout the world. Message from the Prophet First, get to know Jesus Christ, really know him. To do this it is appropriate that we celebrate his birth, but also our thoughts must turn to his life. Learn everything you can about him. Pray. Conform your life to his teachings. President Spencer W. Kimball, world leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints has issued the following Christmas message: " "When I think of Christmas and what it means to me, I think of the question I have often been asked 'How can I find meaning in the celebration of Christmas'. In attempting to answer this question I seem always to revert to the same formula. Invite his spirit into your home. Ask for his companionship. And then . . . what can you expect from all this? You will begin to feel that 'Peace which passeth all understanding' referred to in the scriptures. But don't stop there. In-troduce that peace to your family, then think of the blessings that will result. As spokesman for the 3'2 million members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, my wish for you this Christmas is that you may have peace. We pray you will find happiness during this sacred season. We express our gratitude for all that heaven has blessed us with. We reaffirm and do testify that Jesus did come . . . that he was born here on earth . . . and that he lives. He brought with him a plan for peace ... a plan of happiness. Our prayer is that you might experience those feelings in abundance at this Christmas time." Trade Tech Workers Help For Christmas The car isn't new, but it looks like it. The old paint, rust showing through in may places, was stripped to the metal, reprimed, sanded and new coat of metallic gold put on. Body dents were carefully smoothed out. A crumpled bumper , a damaged door and frayed seats were all replaced. The car, several years old but in fair mechanical con-dition, did indeed looklike new when it was presented to grateful Payson widow as a Christmas present from 20 second-yea- r collision repair students of Utah Technical College at Provo. The recipient is Mrs. Jean Taylor of Payson, whose husband died two years ago on Christmas day. She and her several children probably can't put it under their tree, but it will probably be the nicest present they receive. The idea took root in the minds of the 20 students of Don Pendergrass as part of a Christmas project of VICA (Vocational Industrial Clubs of America). They debated food baskets and other gifts and then the idea came - - why not utilize their special talents for someone who needed it? Mrs. Taylor's car was selected, still running good but looking somwhat battered and badly in need of a paint job. The students took it to their shop at Utah Tech and went to work. Jim Clinger of Provo Motor Mercantile fur-nished the paint. The studen-ts themselves bought the bumper, door and seats from a salvage yard. Literally like Santa's helpers they went to work. When they finished they had iome valuable experience and Mrs. Taylor had a car that looks like new. Instruc-tor Pendergrass said the job comercially could have cost as much as $500. The students had more than experience. The have fixed many cars. They will fix many more. But none with-th-satisfaction of this one.
