Brother Christman is not here. This
old body must go back to the earth
from which it came, but the soul,
life and spirit must return to the
God who gave it. When this old
body began to tumble down, the ad-
vancing death messenger came how
ering around his dying cot; this
guardian angel stopped down and
kissed away his precious soul to
live on and on in a conscious mind
until Jesus comes.
So he was forced to move out
He calmly and peacefully waved
goodbye and crossed the bar to join
his loved ones in glory. Now when
these sons and daughters and great
grandchildren return to their homes,
they cannot expect to take their
dear old father home with them In
person, but Oh, how often they will
miss him as he used to sit at his
family table, and hear him pour out
his soul in prayer for Gods bless
ing upon his family and the COM
munity in which he lived. How Of
ten his footsteps and gentle voice
will be missed. How they will
imagine the tap of his cane at the
half open door, but it is all over
now. He is gone to the realms Of
glory.
How sweet it will be in that beau
tiful land where Jesus of Nazareth
stands, the King of all Kings for
ever is he, and he holdeth our
crowns in his hand.
Written and subscribed to the
bereft family and many dear friends
of the said w. D. Christman, de-

IF!

Christmas is past! What did 1t
mean to you? Thousand and multi
piled thousands of beautiful Christ
mas cards have flooded Uncle Sans
mail for the past two weeks. This
inestimable volume of Christmas
greetings were all unanimous in
wishing you a merry, joyful Christ
mas. We too, received some, and
we were inspired with this thought:
What a changed life it would be IF
the messages, as expressed by those
Christmas greetings, were SO beau
tifully engraved in our lives that
we would not only live and express
them at yuletide, but practice the
same throughout the entire year.
What an era of goodwill and a
truly Christian country it would be.
Thanksgiving day we are supposed
to give thanks for the fruits of the
soil. Christmas, If rightly observed,

we give thanks for the fruits of the
spirit-thankful to Him, who re-
deemed thy life from destruction.
who gave his son, Holy, Immacu-
late, to give His life that we might
have the more abundant life. When
we send out our Christmas greet
ings is there anything more implied
than wishing them merry, mirth-
full Christmas? Do we wish to re-
mind them of what the !, shepherds
heard that "Silent Night" And the
songs of angels sang, GLORY to God
in the Highest, and on earth, peace,
goodwill toward men We won
der. Doubtless your Christmas card
also wished you a Happy New
Year One day only-the first day
of the year? Certainly not! Are
those Happy New Year greetings to
us like clock-wound up and al
lowed to run down in the IL months
to follow? Or shall we make it
our mission to fill this interval Of
time with deeds of kindness, thus
forging a golden chain, binding Us
all together in a union of mutual
interest and affection Ever mindful
of the fact that kindly deed, or
word, may outlast a marble-slab.
Someone has said, "for health and
constant enjoyment of life, give me
a keen and ever present sense of
humor, it is the best thing to an
faith in providence"
So our prayer for the new year,
is: "Give me sense of humor,
Lord; give me the grace to see a
joke; to get some happiness out OF
life, and pass it on to other folk"
We wish to thank our friends.
Eyes, we still have a few, for the
many cards received, and regret
that we cannot answer all, but we
hope to answer some face to face
and to our way of thinking, that ~
best of all. Our greetings to all 14e

Besides naming the month OF jan

the ancient Romans dedicated it to-
a planet, which in turn endowed a
gem in its honor. The garnet was
reputed to have power to preserve

crease their riches and honor, AMI
to reconcile differences between
friends. Today, belief in the mysti-

1. The common practices of
lowering tire pressure and in
creasing the load over rear
wheels to increase traction on
slippery surfaces are not rec
commended. The resulting in
crease in traction for stopping is
slight, and this is more than off
set by reduction of safe speed
on curves.
2. Strange t'1s 'gh itmay seem,
icy surfaces are more treacher-
Gus at 2 degrees dbove freezing

3. On icy roads, condition of
tires does not have much bear
ing on skidding. In the case of
wet roads, however, cars with
good treads are definitely better.
4. Practically all highway de-
partments now treat skidproof-
ing abrasives with calcium chlo-
ride. This material forms a thin
coating around the sand or Gin
der particles which causes them
to melt into the ice and anchor
securely. Since calcium chloride
is an anti-freezc, it also prevents
storage piles Of abrasives from
freezing and makes spreading
on icy roads easy even at sub
zero temperatures.
