mm May the Peace of Christmas be with you for all time to come. wm w . -w •///, fi VOLUME 25: NUMBER 35. By The Way A GOOD LAUGH Perhaps a good laugh will be a .good thing to start off the column this week. In the hall at Boundary Street .School, on the bulletin board, there is a big Santa Claus head the kind you see lighted up in homes and stores around Christmas time. A ..certain person went into the hall the other day and decided she would like to see the Santa lighted up. Seeing a button nearby, she pressed it—but instead of a light ed up Santa, what she got was the harsh sound of the fire alarm! In no time at all, children were flying out of school rooms, obeying the fire alarm as they ad been taught to do. This was REALLY a surprise fire drill! Now, Miss Juanita Hitt isn’t 'going to get mad at me for telling you she was the “alarmist” be cause, she said, “when it was all over, we really had a good laugh about it.” NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1961 - By DORIS A.

I want you to know that I appre ciate your kind attention and com ments not only at Christmas, but throughout the year. Trying to think of something to fill up a col umn week after week is not an easy job; at least not to fill it up with something that will be inter esting. (There is a flood of infor mation that comes to my desk which could be used.) To have you comment favorably always gives me a lift and let me say too, that I like your comments even when they are in disagreement, so long as you let me know who you are. Anyone who writes about a controversial issue is going to be disagreed with and I realize that is to be expected.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY We thank Thee O God, that when the fulness of time was come. Thou didst send forth Thy Son to dwell among us; That through Him we might know what God is like; That He might deliver us from the power of sin and darkness; That He might bring peace and goodwill to mankind; That He might open to us the gates of life everlasting. We pray that Thou wouldst: Open the eyes of our hearts that we might see and exper ience Thy fatherly love and care; Teach us humbly to confess our sins that we might receive forgiveness; Help the nations of the earth to turn back from the road toward war into the paths of peace; Enable us so to believe on the Son of God that we might have everlasting life. This we pray in Jesus Name. Amen. -TTr^-a. V c* . iv 71 f\ >eJ Y 3© f m ■ . ' v ' • .'. 4 .
