From the

iditor's CornerEach year at Christmas we

publish a reprint of a famousChristmas message. This year wehave selected an editorial byHenry van Dyke.

It is a good thing to observeChristmas Day. The mere mark-ing of. times and seasons, whenmen agree to stop work and makemerry together, is a wise andwholesome custom. It helps oneto feel the supremacy of thecommon life over the individuallife, it reminds a man to set hisown little watch, now and then,by the great clock of humanitywhich runs on sun time.

But there is a better thing thanthe observance of Christmas Dayand this is keeping Christmas.

Are you willing to forget whatyou have done for other peopleand to remember what other peo-ple have done for you; to ignorewhat the world owes you and tothink of what you owe the world;to put your rights in the back-ground and your duties in themiddle distance and your chancesto do a little more than ypurduty in the foreground; to seethat your fellowmen are just asreal as you are and try to lookbehind their faces to their hearts,hungry for joy; to own thatprobably the only good reasonfor your existence is not whatyou are going to get out of lifebut what you are going to giveto life; to close your book ofcomplaints against the manage-ment of the universe and lookaround you for a place where youcan sow a few seeds of happiness—are you willing to do thesethings even for a day? Then youcan keep Christmas.

Are you willing to stoop downand consider the needs and thedesires of little children; to 're-member the weakness and loneli-ness of people who are growingold; to std'p asking how muchyour friends love you and askyourself whether you love f themenough; to bear in mind thethings that other people have tobear on their hearts; to try^ tounderstand what those who livein the same "house with you reallywant, without waiting for themto tell you; to trim your lamp sothat it will give more light andless smoke and to carry it infront so that your shadow 'willfall behind you; to make a gravefor your ugly thoughts "and agarden for your kindly feelings,with the gate open—are you will-

-ing to dp these things even for aday? Then you can keep Christ-

Are you willing to believe thatlove-is the strongest thing inthe world—stronger than hate,stronger than evil, stronger thandeath—and that the blessed lifewhich began in Bethlehem nine-teen hundred years ago is theimage and brightness .of theEternal Love? Then you can keepChristmas. And if you keep itfor a day, why not always - v Butyou can never keep it alone.

Sponsored by Chamber of Commerce

In the friendly spirit of theChristmas season we pause to againgive thanks to you for making itpossible for us to publish this paper.To our subscribers, correspondents,advertisers and contributors go ourvery best wishes for a happy holi-day season.

Hawks Top Redskins

Cass City High School chalked up its third straightvictory of the year Friday night as they whipped Sandusky67-50 to remain deadlocked for first place in the Thumb BLeague with Bad Axe.

Playing on their home floor,the Hawks took an early lead inthe first period and were neverbehind in the game.

Bulletin: A potent Mt. Pleasantquintet defeated Cass City Tues-day night, 73-49. Dick Donahueled the attack of the Hawkcagers with 14 points. The gamewas a non-league encounter andwas the first Hawk defeat of theyear.

Coach Irv Claseman unveiledan offense that saw Center 5*°̂Donahue and forwapl Don Sim-mons alternate at the pivot posi-tion and the maneuver workedsuccessfully for Cass City.

Actually, the game was closerthan the score indicated. It wasnot until the final period thatCass City piled up its 17-pointlead. At the end of the thirdperiod, there were only eightpoints separating the two clubs.

Although Sandusky did nothave an extra tall man, the teamwas uniformly big and had aslight advantage "on the back-boards over the Hawk re-bounders.

iSandusky enjoyed a two-bas-

set edge on field goals. They hit22 times while Cass City hit 20?brines from the field. The gamewas decided at the foul line. San-dusky hit six of 13 attempts andCass City converted 27 of 30tries.

Sandusky's ball hawkingypressing defense made the quin-tet foul much more frequentlythan Cass City and the Hawks*'ability from the free throw linewas the decisive factor In tliegame.

Bill Tuckey played his b'esttgame of the season againstSandusky. He led the Hawkscorers with 17 points and againrebounded in the style that made- *him one of the best in theleague for his size last year;,

Be sure all wing-tip feathers areremoved. They may be pulled outeasily by pressing the skin be-tween the feathers down to thetips of the quill with the forefingersof one hand and pulling the feath-ers straight out with the pther.

The drum stick can also begreatly improved by pulling witha pair of pliers as many of thenine heavy tendons in each leg aspossible.

Singe your bird the easy wayPut a few teaspoons of rubbing-alcohol in a jar lid, light, thenrotate the turkey slowly over theflame. The bird should then bewashed with soap in lukewarm wa-ter, using a scrub brush, thenrinsed in clear water and dried

Don't stuff the turkey until justoefore putting it into the oven.Three skewers should be used be-bre closing the cavity and asquare knot tied after each skewerso the lacing won't tighten. If theres not sufficient opening to let offsteam, the dressing will get soggy.

In roasting the turkey, you'llind that the wing-tips can beorought over the back and tiedto make a "rack" on which theoird will rest in the roaster.

XMAS CUSTOMSThe origin of many of our Christ

mas customs can be traced bacho prehistoric 'times, with sormjagon customs being modified toIt into the Christian observances8ut, as official Christian holidays,Christmas and Nev^ Year's had aong struggle to become firmlyjstablished.

Experience is a thoroughteacher, but is a mighty slow wayto acquire an education.

Most of the movements to rightthe wrongs of the people stopafter the political campaign.

Celebrates 75th Birthday—Mrs. Earl Rayl, Sr.fc Mr. and

Mrs. Harold Rayl and girls ofCass City, Mr. and Mrs. WalterRayl and girls of Decker andElmer Rayl of Akron were amongthose who gathered at the homeof Mr. and Mrs. Leon Childs,north of Caro, on Dec. 16 in honorof the 75th birthday of theformer's mother, Mrs. EllaChilds. All her children's familieswere represented, including fivegreat-grandchildren. Many couldnot be present because of work-ing on second shifts.

A co-operative supper wasserved soon after 6:30 p. m. to31 of her family. Later in theevening, a three-tier decoratedcake holding 75 candles wasserved with ice cream. Some ofthe grandchildren helped grand-ma light the candles and all sang"Happy Birthday."

Many nice gifts were presentedto Mrs. Childs to help her re-member the occasion.

C.B. Christmas Meeting—The missionary circle of the

Novesta C. Baptist Church heldtheir Christmas meeting on Tues-day at the home of Mrs. EarlRayl, Sr.

After a co-operative dinner,an exchange of gifts was enjoyed.

Some sewing on little dressesto be sent to the Flint RescueMission, and rolling of somebandages were accomplished.

Mrs. Hazen Warner presentedthe lesson concerning our beingwilling to be humble as we serveChrist in our daily living, byScripture, and the reading ofsome articles challenging each ofus to be alert.

The January meeting will beheld with Mrs. Hazen Warner,with a sack lunch at noon. A wel-come awaits anyone who is in-terested in missionary educationand work.

As they have done since th«first Christmas, Christians will thisyear follow the Star to the stable-grotto beneath the Church of theNativity, the traditional birthplaceof Jesus of Nazareth in Bethlehem.

Always small and poor, Bethle-hem is even poorer today thanmost people would believe. A re-cent visitor said, "Wanderers fillthe streets — anyone can see whyMary and Joseph found no room inthe inn."

L a s t Christmas, shepherdswatching their flocks outside Beth-lehem had to be especially watch-ful lest the sheep trap themselvesin the barbed wire of the narrowno-man's land separating Jordanand Israel. Bethlehem, on the Jor-dan side of the wire, has as wellbeen sorely affected by the hos-tility and the uneasy truce. It iscrowded with Arab refugees whoformerly lived in Israel.

The effect of the conflict hasbeen crippling of Bethlehem's chieiindustry, the making and sellingof objects of piety from olive wood,Dead Sea stone and mother-of-pearl. Except at Christmas, pil-grims are so few that the profithad gone from the business.

On Christmas Eve, however, thedusty city takes on new life. Chris-tian diplomats living in dividedJerusalem expect to be escortedto the little town over the unusedhighway through no-man's land.Pilgrims from the Israeli side passthrough the Mandelbaum Gate.

Pilgrims rich and poor alike,worship together in the fourth cen-tury Church of the Nativity. Thereis a High Mass, during which theimage of the Christ Child is car-ried from the church through aseries of underground chapels.

The ceremonies come to a cli-max before three adjacent shrines.The Altars of the Nativity, theWise Men and the Manger. Out-side, Christians from many landswill sing, as angels sang nearly2,000 years ago: "Glory to God inthe highest, and on earth peace,good will toward men."

CARO, MICHIGAN

By H. M. Bulen

The fact that highway speed laws aren't really set by anyscientific%tudy of safety, but just seem to be numbers pulled from ahat becomes especially apparent when you drive through the U. S.You may cross two or three states in a day and find the speed limitjumping up and down between 50, 55 and 60.

The American Automobile Association recently proposed a newmethod for setting highway speed limits. The idea is to let motoriststhemselves decide what a safe speed is.

. It's done, like so many things these days, with radar. The AAAhas found that a safe speed is usually the speed traveled by 85 percent of drivers on any particular road. So the AAA has asked thatstate-wide or province-wide speed laws, many of them unrealisticallylow, be abolished in favor of the speed that radar devices show is theusual speed of 85 per cent of motorists.

Figures I noticed recently showed that, contrary to what I al-ways believed, most highway accidents don't happen at high speeds.A study in Nebraska established that 73 per cent of all accidentsoccurred at less than 30 miles an hour. When speed limits wereraised in Nebraska, accidents were reduced and the average speedof the cars on the highway didn't change at all which only went toprove drivers were ignoring old speed limits anyway and driving atwhat they thought was a safe speed.

You just have to conclude that most drivers are ordinary peoplewith good horse sense. We think so, so we have built our good namein the used car business by giving year-in, year-out value and satis-faction. Our best advertisement is the number of people who've comeback time after time to buy cars from us.

With the "End of the World" predicted for Tuesday, I didn'treally know whether to attempt my weekly editorial effort. I assume,however, that when the Chronicle comes out we'll still have Taxes,the Russians, Joe McCarthy and Dior's "Flat Look" to worry about.And, I'll still have Used Cars.

So, I'll Just say MERRY CHRISTMAS,still be here, and, THANKS A LOT!

JOY TO THE WORLD . . . The famous bdys' choir of St. Vin-cent Ferrer Church raises its collective voice in song during re-hearsal of hymns which will be sung at Christmas Eve midnightmass. Boys are from eight to 14 years of age.

Christmas Scene:

St. Francis Set The StageDid you ever wonder about the origin of the custom of displaying

the Christ Child in the crib at Christmas time? These displays have be'come increasingly popular, so that this Christmas we find manger scenesin churches, store windows, even in outdoor locations.

Credited with the idea of the first display is St. Francis of Assist, whois reported to have said to one of his followers: "I wish to celebrateHoly Christmas night with you. In the woods near the cloister you will

. find a cave where we shall arrange a manger filled with hay. We shallhave an ox and an ass just as at Bethlehem. I wish to see how poor andmiserable the Infant Saviour became for us."

This was in the small village of Garcia, in Italy, in the year 1200,St. Francis and his followers celebrated mass at the cave and sang hymnsin honor of the Christ Child.

Advertise It In the Chronicle.

1 9 5 4To all our friends

we say "Merry Christmas'

raSaint Nicholas lived some 1600

years ago in Turkey where he wasfor 17 years Bishop of Myra. To-day, the place is known as Demre,province of Antalya—where hischurch may still be found and onemay yet hear of the generous actswhich made his life a great legendand gave him the "Santa Claus"character we all know today.

It is said that Saint Nicholas, aman of great virtue and piety, be-came the patron saint of boyswhen he restored to life the sonsof a rich Asiatic, who had beenmurdered by a robber-innkeeper iwhile they were enroute to schoolat Athens. It is said that he waswarned of the crime in a dream,but was unable to reach the innin time to prevent the murders.He restored the boys to lifethrough prayer and the murdererconfessed his crime.

leaf drop and premature loss I Dear Santa Claus,of flowers can be caused by under-watering or over-watering plants.Thorough watering is important assoon as plants are dry, but avoidleaving plants standing in water.Puncture the tinfoil or heavy papeion pots at the drainage hole to pro.vide necessary drainage.

Here are some further sugges-tions:

Lower the night temperature toprolong the life of blooms. Mini-mum night temperature for poin-settias and Christmas begoniasshould be 60 degrees. The desir-able night temperatures for azaleas, Christmas cactus, chrysan-themums, cyclamen, Jerusalemcherry, Kalanchoe, ornamentalpeppers, potted bulbs and cutflowers are between 50 degrees and60 degrees. High room tempera-

jtures hasten the maturity olflowers and shorten their life.

Avoid sudden t e m p e r a t u r echanges and drafts. Keep bothplants and cut flowers away from

Please bring me a bed for mydoll, Susan—one with blankets,and I'd like a wind-up train anda road grader—a big, big one

like my cousin, Dick Hall's, butthat probably costs too muchmoney.

Groups to BuyTelevision Sets

By Shirley SargentO ALPH RANSOME, a forceful*-̂ - looking, dark-haired man ofabout fifty, left the office earlyChristmas Eve. There was no usestaying, he reflected almost bitterly, the office staff had been having a Christmas party since noonon company time. His family accused him of not having anyChristmas spirit. Well, the officestaff had too much of it.

The gaily decorated streets werelighted as he walked along thedowntown area. Hurrying crowdsseemed to be in a gay moodRalph remembered the Christmasof his own youth. He lived on aranch with four other brothers andsisters, an aunt, two fatherlesscousins and his parents. With thatmany mouths to feed, they werelucky to find a dime, an orange,

Television is now on the mindsof home demonstration membersof Tuscola County. At their De-cember council meeting, repre-sentatives decided to purchase a JTV set for the second floor of jthe county hospital. The groups j| had already planned to purchasei a Christmas gift for each patient; at the hospital, and gifts are be- }ginning to pile up in the home '

Dear Santa Claus:—

Here we are again—another Christmas—biggerthan ever. The town is becoming nationally known. Soapyand Nancy will be here. But what's the matter with Lucile?Where's Ike?

Did you see our calendar showing Cass City'sMain Street some forty-five years ago? It just doesn'tseem possible. Pavements unheard of—no Curt Hunt. Notan automobile in sight—no Horace Bulen. Wagons andbuggies at all angles—no Steve Orto. They tell us thatabout the only two people now living who can really recallCass City at that time are Mrs. Koepfgen and Frank Reid.

Santa, we are much elated, though somewhatsurprised, that the world did not come to its end lastTuesday. We thank you for giving us a few days grace soas to display our pageant once more. We hand a bouquet toRalph Powell. We knew he could blow a horn but didn'tknow he had such a delivery. We aren't going to mentionLucile, who probably knew something was going on, butwe will say that, along with'Jim Bauer and Cliff Ryan, aschairmen, and the whole town pulling together, the affairwent off with surprising smoothness, and the crowdstanding in almost zero weather, some coming many miles,felt well repaid.

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

nuts and a hand-knit pair 01 socksin their stockings.

Now it was vastly different,tialph thought. Christmas wascommercial and presents elaborate, often useless. Molly, hiswife, bought the gifts for theirthree children. A less brilliantlylighted store window attractedhim. Sports equipment was exiiibited. Ralph remembered hiscoy's -shout of pleasure lastChristmas when he had openedsomething he wanted particularly. "Ge'e, dad, how did you know''•Tust exactly what I wanted."

And Ralph had to say, in honesty, "Thank your mother, son, 1just work here."

Julie, his nineteen-year-old, hadburst out, "Oh, daddy, it just isn't.ay fun when you don't take pan

You don't even know what you'regiving us." ,

After All, Be PaidWell, who paid for it? Ralpr;

thought now. So long as they p.mwhat they wanted . . . but din'they? Maybe Julie and Jim hadbeen trying to show him that theywanted something from himSomething he picked out. Ra lpnthought again of his boyhood pres-ents that had been made espe-cially for him. Why, he realized:hat was what made them special

The children were right thenAll he did was pay for their giftsThis year he could pay double andrke a chance that he wouldhoose things they liked. It' way•upposed to be the thought, not

the gift that counted anywayWhy, last Christmas it was thatTun had given him that awfulpipe rack. But Ralph had accept-ed it with pleasure and still dis-played it in a prominent place be-cause Jim had worked hard tomake something he could useAnd the ill-fitting, hand-knittedsocks from Martha. Those giftshad. meant more to him than anystore-wrapped package could. Heturned and hurried into the store

Getting The SpiritRalph shopped carefully among

the jostling crowds. He thoughtcarefully as to whether the giftwould be practical or not, appre-ciated or not. Molly was first andthat was easy for Ralph knew shehad wanted a watch for years.The children were harder. Juliewas in college. She had everything. No, wait . . . She lovedmusic, the type Ralph had nopatience for. A Brahms symphonywasn't entirely practical, but heknew it would be appreciated.

He felt excited. This was funChallenging too. Other shoppers'faces reflected his own growingexcitement. Next, year, he vowed,he and Molly would shop togetherHe backtracked to the camera department. Martha, their sevenyear-old, was a photography fan.He bought several rolls of filmand a "How To" book. Then, Jim,The boy lacked coordination, yetliked sports. A basketball and apunching bag. That ought to do it

Later, as he let himself in thehouse, Ralph could hardly wait tosee their faces tomorrow. But hedidn't need to wait. As he placedthe packages around the tree,Julie's delighted squeal broughtthe rest of the family in. When heturned around, he met four pairsof shining eyes that expressedtheir affection more clearly inwords.

"Gee, dad," Jim sputtered,"you finally got the Christmasspirit."

Ralph smiled back at themwarmly, "Guess it's catching, andincurable."

Many people have a wonderfulaim in life, but fail to deliverbecause they lack the punch.

Many people fail because theyexpect to get up in the world onthe shoulders of their associates.

Did You WonderWhy Santa DropsGifts Down Chimney?

How did it come about that San-1ta drops his gifts down the chim-ney?

For the answer to this commonbelief about Santa and Christmas,we must go back to Saint Nicholas,responsible for so many other cus-toms related to Christmas.

There's a story about an impov-erished nobleman who was unableto find husbands for his threedaughters because he ctruld not af-ford a dowry for each. He wasabout to sell the daughters intoslavery when St. Nicholas heardabout it. Silently, Old Saint Nickiropped three bags of gold downhe chimney. All three daughters•oon married and lived happily?ver aiier.

Thereafter, .Saint Nicholas wasoften pictured holding three bagsof gold. It is thought that he diedabout 343 A.D. and historians saythat for 30 days after his deathhis genial spirit roamed the earth,filling the hearts of mankind withlove and generosity.

It could be said that St. Nickand Dr. Clement Moore, who wrote"A Visit From Saint Nicholas"(now better known as " 'Twas theNight Before Christmas") con-tributed most to our present con-cept of "Santa Claus.

The program is designed toprepare 27 state delegates withinformation to take to the 1955White House Conference on Edu-cation next November.

President Eisenhower Lasasked for the nationwide con-ference to determine what rolethe Federal government mustplay to keep America "the most

ready to do something moreabout the schools," said Dr. ClairL. Taylor, superintendent ofpublic instruction.

Main problem in Michigan nowis finding money to build the2,000 new classrooms needed tohandle enr-ollment increases inthe next few years—and teachersto preside over them.

Dr. Taylor stated succinctlythat these questions will be asked

jof every community in the next11 months:

"Where are we ?"How did we get here?"Where .are we going ?"How are we going to get

there?"* * *

Importance of education inestimation of officials jockeyingthe United States in the coldwar with Russia was stressed byDr. John A. Hannah, presidentof Michigan State College.

Dr. Hannah, recently returnedfrom an 18-month tour of duty asassistant Secretary of Defense,said:

"We know that Russia is train-ing engineers and scientistsfaster than we are, and goodones, too. We must do something

1 quickly if we are going to keep[pace with them."j * * *I Michigan's 1955 senate will,have a number of new members,j but the leadership will be thesame that charted the chamber'sRepublican course for the pasttwo years.

Senator Creighton R. Coleman(R-Battle Creek) again will beRepublican caucus chairman,.Senator Harry F. Hittle (R-Lansing) will be president protempore and Senator Carlton H.Morris (R-Kalamazoo) Republi-can floor leader.

Coleman led a group ofyounger members into power inthe Senate two years ago whenRepublicans had 24 votes to 8 forthe Democrats. During 1955, the

: majority will be shaved to 23 toI11'i % ^ ^

I "We may have a more difficultj time this year with more seatsj and more Democrats, but we'rej more united now," he said.I Major issues facing the 1955! session in both the Senate andHouse include what to do abouttaxes when the Business Activ-

. ities tax, worth $30,000,000 thisyear, expires in spring; how tofinance education; a fresh look atsocial legislation.

Reports persist that Gov. Wil-liams is looking for a spot on the1956 national ticket, and his fel-low Democrats are doing nothingto dispel the thought.

CIO meetings in Detroit haveflatly said they would • supportWilliams in the 1956 convention.Williams has remained silent onhis plans, but attentive.

Democrats and Republicansalike predict that Williams willspend more time on national is-sues during the next two yearsand do a lot more travelingaround the country.

Said one Republican."We should get behind him,

too, for anything he wants to getin the way of political prominence—nationally."

* * *State welfare officials would

like to have more power overcampaigns for charitable pur-poses—to protect the public andthe legitimate fund-raising or-ganizations.

W. J. Maxey, state welfaredirector, said his office licenses46 charities which conduct cam-paigns across state and countylines, but has no power to en-force regulations.

He said the state welfare com-mission would ask the legislaturefor power t» take a charity intocourt and seek to prevent furthercollections if they didn't obey the;laws. ,

Another major item sought will;le discretionary power to limitthe s mount of the collections thatthe charities can use for expensesand administration.

"Most of the charities inMichigan are fine and. worth-while," Maxey said. "These provi-sions would enable us to protectthem and the public."

Last Rites for George Thompson

Every year about this time webear the same story: Christmasis getting too commercial.| Last year, in fact, some grown-ups rebelled and said becauseChristmas was getting "so com-mercial" they intended to tell theirchildren that there was no SantaClaus.

Like little Virginia O'Hanlon,who wrote the famous "Is therea Santa" letter to the editor ofthe New York Sun, children arevery easily disillusioned. But, likeVirginia, they need only reassur-ance from someone they believe into sustain their wonderful belief.It is entirely wrong for us to shat-ter their dreams.

Christmas IS commercial insome aspects. Thousands of peo-ple earn a livelihood working theyear around in toy shops or fac-tories which produce Christmasspecialties. This, in itself, does notp.ake Christmas "too commer-cial," for toymakers have pro-iluced Christmas novelties for hun-Ireds and hundreds- of years. In

the same vein, we can not sayChristmas is too commercialmerely because newspapers,magazines and catalogs are filledwith gift advertising as the holi-day season approaches. They ad-vertise Spring merchandise, Fallmerchandise, etc., so why notChristmas merchandise, when thedominant theme is one of giving?

No—"Too commercial" is anoverstatement. Christmas is toocommercial only in the minds ofgrown-ups. If we think so, let'swork to see that the "true spirit"of the season abounds about usand not attempt to take away fromchildren the joy of one of the great-est moments in their young lives—the time when Santa visits.

For — "he exists as certainly aslove and generosity and devotionexist, and you knpw that theyabound and give to your life itshighest beauty and joy, Alas! Howdreary would be the world if therewas no Santa Claus!"

Let there be a Santa as Ion'there are little Virginias.

Your Christmas tree will staylooking its freshest if you willcut off a few inches of thetrunk and let it soak in waterjust prior to putting it in thestand. Keep water in the con-tainer during the entire Christ-mas season.

Because eggs are so cheap,farmers are sending some oftheir hens to marfet. So the U. S.Department of Agriculture saysstewing hens are very plentiful,which is unusual for this time ofyear. Because many of these hensare young birds, they are moretender than most stewing hensand prices are generally lowerthan usual.

Research to HelpStates Dairymen

Michigan State College's dairydepartment has installed someshiny new equipment that savesthe backs of the dairy barnworkers. And at the same timethe equipment is providing somevaluable research results.

The new device is a glass pipe-line that transports milk directlyfrom the stanchioned cow to asanitary bulk milk truck.

Dr. Noel P. (Pat) Ralston, adairy department researcher,says that the labor saver allowsone man to milk 65 cows in amatter of two and a half hours.He operates three milking unitsat a time.

How will this help research?Ralston puts it this \vay: Pipelinemailing is being used more andmore in Michigan. The units inuse present some problems aswell as advantages. The re-searcher's job is to find the an-swers to those problems.

Just how much time and laborwill the system .save ? Ralston iwants to do time and motionstudies to find out.

The pipeline, Ralston indicates,should improve milk quality over

j the older methods. But some peo-! pie believe the rapid rate the milk ,travels through the line plus the Iturbulence caused by the vacuum jmay affect the milk's flavor. |

j Ralston wants to find out for! sure.! Then there are cleaning prob-j lems which have not been an-jswered. The pipeline device isi designed to be cleaned simply byjthe vacuum sucking detergent1

i and clean rinse water through the, line. The line is not supposed to! be disassembled.

About a dozen similar units arein operation in Michigan.

Mr. George E. Thompson diedin Caro Hospital Thursday after-noon, Dec. 16. He had been in illhealth the past two years.

Mr. Thompson was born inOakland County Sept. 4, 1879, theson of the lat<? Mr. and Mrs. JohnE. and Theodosia IngersolThompson.

He was united in marriage toMiss Grace Ball January 29,1897, in Highland, Mich. Follow-ing their " marriage, they madetheir home in Oakland Countyand Detroit where they lived fortwenty-five years. In 1933 theymoved to Novesta Township andmade their home on a farm.

Mrs. Thompson passed awaySeptember 25, 1950.

He had been a member of theNovesta Church of Christ since1933. He was also, a life memberof the Austin Lodge No. 48 F. &A. M. of Davisburg.

Surviving him are three

daughters, Mrs. Walter (Helen)Krawczyk of Detroit, Mrs. Rus-sell (Betty) Martin of Defordand Mrs. Clifton (Julie Ann)Witkovsky of Pigeon; two sons,Mr. Steven Guc of Highland Parkand Mr. John Guc of Cass City;one brother, Mr. Harry Thomp-son of Bradenton, Florida; two-sisters, Mrs. Viola Sheppard ofBradenton, Florida, and Mrs.Leita Hansard of Davisburg,Michigan, and six grandchildren.One brother . preceded him indeath. *

Funeral services were held atLittle's Funeral Home at 2o'clock Sunday afternoon withthe Rev. Howard Woodard of-ficiating. Burial was in NovestaCemetery under the auspices ofTyler Lodge 317 F; & A. M.

Many people spend half theirtime makingv promises, and theother half in making excuses.

It won't be a chilly Christmas formany outdoor evergreens andshrubs this year, with outsidehome decorations expected to beeven more popular than in pastyears.

It's nice to have bright ttlecora-tions outside, tree experts say, but jtoo many home owners give their jhome grounds evergreens a hot [foot while stringing them withjoverly-powerful Christmas lights jfor a blinking, brilliant colorama

They offer this advice to protecttrees while utilizing them to the'best advantage in achieving thatbeautiful outdoor display:

Use only electrical fixtrjres de-signed to be strung on outdoortrees.

Use bulbs no stronger than 15-watts. They're bright enough to begay and colorful, yet don't gener-ate enough heat to burn foliage,even on direct contact.

Check periodically to determineif needles or foliage are turningbrown in vicinity of lights. If so,rearrange the lights. Not even abeautiful light display is worthmarring valuable evergreens thatare a source of beauty the yeairound. i

By Maud McCurdy Welch'TpOMORROW was Christmas and

•*•. Tommy was worried. It hadn'tsnowed at all, and if there wasno snow to shovel, how could .hemake any money for-Christmas?

Tommy lived in the neat farmcottage with his Uncle Pete andAunt Lucy. Aunt Lucy had justtold him he could go over and seeJimmy Reeder but be sure to beback by five o'clock. So Tommystarted walking slowly toward theReeder farm, as he had a lot ofthinking to do.

'in the small sitting room AuntLucy and Uncle Pete were talk-ing. Aunt Lucy insisted that twodollars was an awful lot to payfor a dog. They were poor peopleafter all and could only affordto give Tommy sensible things.

.Uncle Pete thought Tommyshould have the puppy he wantedHe was only seven, and needed aplaymate.

Tommy was walking along stillslowly, trying not to think howwonderful it would be if he couldhave this little puppy. His namewas Blaze, and he was a runt;that's' why he cost only two dol-lars. Tommy thought how the pupwould frolic along beside him andwag his tail, and how they'd raceover the fields when spring washere. But no use thinking aboutBlaze. He had to g&t a job.

It was when he was passing thebig house where Mr. Robert That-

"Could you give it to me innew shiny dollars," Tommy said.

cher lived, that the idea came.Tommy went in and asked Mr.Thatcher for a job. Mr. Thatcherwas said to be a bad-tempered,stingy old man, but Tommy wasn'tgoing to be afraid of him. He said,"I need some Christmas money,and I thought you might give mea job to do."

The old man asked grumpily,"What do you want for Christ-mas?"

His Xmas WishTommy explained about the dog

and Mr. Thatcher said, "All right,you can go to work in the orchard,cleaning out under the trees."

Tommy found the rake andother tools and went to work withvim. A little before five, the jobwas done. Mr. Thatcher took alook at it, and said he'd earnedthe two dollars.

"Could you give it to me innew shiny dollars?" Tommy asked.

The old man nodded. "Thoughtyou were going to buy a puppy?"

"Nope. Can't have the puppy.Christmas is for giving."

The old man put two silver dol-lars in his hand. He said softly,"Glad you reminded me, Tommy.I'd almost forgotten."

Then it was Christmas. Afterbreakfast Tommy proudly laid ashining silver dollar in Aunt Lucy'shand and one, in Uncle Pete's.They were both so surprised fora moment they didn't speak. ThenAunt Lucy nodded at Uncle Pete.He left the room and they heardthe chugging of the old Ford asit went down the lane.

"The dollar shines pretty, doesn'tit?" Tommy asked.

"It's beautiful, Tommy. Thankyou." Aunt Lucy's voice soundedchoked up.

The Real ThingWhen Uncle Pete came back, he

gave Tommy two packages, mit-tens from Aunt Lucy and shoesfrom Uncle Pete. "Just what Ineeded," Tommy exclaimed andgave them both a big hug. UnclePete cleared his throat. "Tommy,your real present is on the backporch in a basket." ••-

It was Blaze, the puppy. Tommygave a cry of joy. He ran backto the sitting room, the puppy inhis arms, "Oh, thank you, UnclePete. Thank you, Aunt Lucy.Thank you a million!"

But that wasn't all. An hourlater a car stopped outside anda chauffeur brought in a bigbasket of fruit and one filled tothe brim with wonderful things toeat. Even a turkey. There was anote, which read:

"Christmas is for giving. I wishyou all a very Happy Yuletide."It was signed Robert Thatcher.

Aunt Lucy and Uncle Petelooked at each other in amaze-ment. Then Uncle Pete said, "Well,Robert Thatcher certainly did getthe Christmas spirit, didn't he?"

"Everybody is so good," Tommysaid. He looked down at the puppywhich was now asleep in his lap.
