PAGE SIX THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1963 This is the season of the year when gladness and joy prevails — and most especially for us, when we look back over the past and realize how much you have contributed to our success. To our many good friends and good customers... OUR BEST HOLIDAY WISHES PURCELLS E. B. PURCELL, Board Chairman KEITT PURCELL, President BEN P. STEWART, Vice-President ROBERT C. UNDERWOOD, Secretary SARA B. FRANKLIN MARY H. LONGSHOR MARTHA B. DERRICK TROXELLE H. SENN TO'/MAKERS ... A toy that makes toys is offered by one manufacturer this year.

Choice of Tree Differs From East To West In New England and the North east, balsam fir and white spruce are the most popular Christmas trees, while Pennsylvanians often prefer Scotch pine, spruce and red pine. In the South, red cedar and the scarce but beautiful holly tree are often used, as well as pine. In the West, cedars and Ari zona cypress are favorites, and on the West Coast a wide variety of trees, Douglas fir, blue spruce, Engleman spruce and other lo cally grown trees are all popular. •?'S Grateful far Christmas ‘ Peace on earth.” How old is this Christmas ‘reeling! For how many years ns Christmas returned to a •orld in which the promise of eace was yet unfilled? For how nany Christmases yet to come .vill the world be yet awaiting peace on earth to ALL men of ^ood will? The answer is not readily at land. Yet, this we know; for this one single day of the year we can be grateful for the true meaning of the holiday we observe. We can give thanks for man kind’s greatest gift, the birth of the Christ Child, and do so with the knowledge that on His birth day once each year the spirit of good will becomes the motto of all men everywhere. DON'T FORGET . . . This young fellow seems to be re minding one of Santa’s helpers that the holiday is really tmly a short time away and there’s much to be done in the mean time. ! CAREFUL HOLIDAY Christmas tree ornaments particularly strings of small lights, are a potential holiday j hazard. Children will sometimes | chew up or even swallow a ; small bulb, with obvious results. Tree lights of flimsy wiring, or * old strands that have been re used for years, sometimes can be fire hazards. Glass tree ornaments often shatter easily and sprinkle sliv ers around the room. Handle ali ^ ornaments and lights with care and keep the extras and dis- ! carded bulbs out of the reach j * of children. IN GREECE In Greece, Christmas gifts gladden the hearts of the young and the poor. The older folks usually wait until New Year’s Day to exchange presents. HO, HUM ... Sometimes the long wait for Santa is too much, making it necessary for a fellow to take a few winks now and then and hope that he may just wake up in time to see the cheerful old gentleman load ing a stocking with gifts and goodies. To all of you who have favored us with continued patronage, we wish the merriest-ever Christmas! The MARKET BASKET i ; s "SUPER FOOD STORE" j Corner Harrington & Nance Sts. Newberry, S.
