This Rock

Only two more weeks until
Christmas. Haven't heard any OF

"Christmas" should be spelled.

provoked quite a few people.

tent. If narrow-minded folks can
read evil in a harmless abbrevia-

the ones who need to have their
minds cleaned up.
That's true in a lot of things. !.
Too many .goody goodies cry
about immortality. They spot it In
every innocent action or word OF
their neighbor. To think such
thoughts to an abnormal degree
without justification shows an un-
healthy state of mind. AS a mat
ter of fact, l would almost go SO
far as to describe such a person

The song is one of joy unspeak-
