In sad. but loving remembrance of
a dear father and husband. Fred G.
Father, whD passed away ten years
ago, January 9. 1888:
Ten years have passed with all their
changes
Since death bade us part;
But, dear father, all the changes
Cannot take you from our hearts.
1t is lonesome here without you
And sad the weary way
Our life is not the same to us
Since YOU were called away
In our hearts your memory fingers
Tender, kind and true
There is not a day, dear father,
That we do not think Of you.
Though your smile is gone forever
And your face we cannot touch
We will never lose sweet memories
OF the one we loved so much.
Heaven must be a wonderful place
With someone like you up there
God needed a rose in His garden
That's why He took you up there.
Never could we bear the parting
Only for His promise given
SO some day Wen be together
In that blessed home called heaven.
Dearly loved and sadly missed by
Wife Nettie Eather, and chldren
Joyce, Norma, Beatrice, Esther, Ro'
land McCabe.

Your memory, dearest father,
Is the brightest blossom there.
Somewhere back of the sunset
Where lOveliness never dies.
You live in a land of glory
Beneath the blue and gold of the skies.
To your graveside we often wander
And picture your face so dear.

Without the smile of your face.

Keeps your memory dear.

USE HOLIDAY
SAFETY SENSE
Remember, An Accident Is
One Sure Way to Spoil
Your Holiday
DRIVE WITH CARE

If you intend going places this
holiday season, or if you are just
driving the family car around for
your Christmas shopping, the Del
aware Safety Council says to be
sure to take your safety sense
along. December commonly regard
ed as the most joyful month, is
actually the most tragic month of
all, as far as traffic accidents are
concerned. So be on the lookout for
rushing, un.hinking pedestrians
and for other drivers who may not
be as careful as you. Remember!
An accident is one sure way to
spoil your Holiday.
This is a season to be merry and
it is also a season to be wary, con-
tinued the Council. December holi-
day driving and winter conditions
combine to make this joyful month
a very dangerous month. Drive
with extra care and keep your hoIi-
day cheerful, not fearful.
Yes, snow makes Christmas mer-
ry. 1t also makes streets slippery.
Boys and girls should be especially
careful when crossing streets in
snowy weather. Sometimes cars
skid and get out of control, but
if we keep our eyes and ears open,

SOME RULES
WHILE HUNTING
Two Men Fire at Same Deer
and Shoot Each Other
Instead
TEN COMMANDMENTS

TWO men who fired at the same
deer and shot each other instead,
while the deer escaped unharmed,
provide an example of what not to
do during the hunting season, says
w. e. Tarbell, County Agricultural
Agent. .These men,, he says,
'fbroke at least one of the cardinal
rules of hunting, namely, to make
sure of the target before firing"
Unquestionably, hunting is one
of the nations most pleasant ana
healthiest sports. Thousands will
join the ranks of game hunters
during the current hunting season.
The National Safety Council re-
ports three causes which lead to al
most two-thirds of the accidents
reported during a hunting season,
namely: Humans in the line of fire,
mistaking humans for game, and
hunting with the safety catch off.
All hunters are urged to use COM
mon sense in handling guns, give
consideration for others, and exer-
else good sportmanship and good
manners throughout their hunting
expedition.
Here are the ten commandments
which, if observed, may save life
and that life may be your own:
1. Treat every gun with respect
due loaded gun.
2. Carry only empty guns into
your auto.
8. Always be sure that the barrel
and action are clear of obstruction.
4. Always be able to control the
direction of the muzzle, even if you
stumble.
5. Be sure of your target before
you pull the trigger.
6. Never point gun at anything
you do not want to shoot.
Z. Never leave your gun unat-
tended unless you unload it first.
8. Never climb tree or fence
with loaded gun.
9. Never shoot at a fiat, hard
surface, or the surface of the
water.
10. Do not mix gunpowder with
alcohol.

Everybody is extended a most
hearty welcome. A silver Offering
will be taken to defray expenses.
