MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' ^Continued From Page 1) offer of a ride to the store, or to view holiday displays. Just the idea of being remembered is important, but to have someone listen and be interested in one's thoughts can be the most important gift some people will re&Sver-w For those with no time but a little money(to share, there are endless opportunities to make the season happy for others. One of our own favorites is the Salvation Army. If you have seen shivering volunteers manning their kettles, or playing Christmas music, it is not easy to be untouched. This is especially true when one realizes that this organization boasts one of the smallest percentages for^dministrative purposes of ari^ service group. On a local level there are other worthwhile programs, not the least of which is FISH. Many residents motivated by the good that can be ac­ complished through this organization are generous with their service as volunteers. We can help them through our contributions to their pantry, by providing transportation and many other needed ser­ vices. And while the postal service is pricing out the good old custom of sending Christmas cards, we refuse to bow out entirely until it is a necessity. True, the custom is becoming a very expensive one, and for the people who send printed cards and no other personal message, it may have served its usefulness. . For ourself, we enjoy this once-a-year contact provided through many of the holiday cards we send. Old friends and even family members in remote locations should not be forgotten entirely. In the rush of a busy world this is too often the case. Christmas comes once a year to remind us of some of the nice things in life that we otherwise find no time to enjoy.

At that conference, Tyrrell said that he was not angry at the deputies for going to the U.S. _ Attorney with their allegations. "That's their prerogative as citizens," he said. Tyrrell added that he was hurt that the deputies had not come to him first with their allegations. After thinking it over, though, he could un­ derstand their situation. "They're good officers," he said. v However, Monday Tyrrell announced that he planned to prefer charges against the four deputies for bringing discredit to the department for conduct unbecoming an office and fot violating rules of the depart­ ment in bypassing command personnel in the department. The Sheriff said he will present the charges against the four deputies at the January meeting of the Sheriffs Merit commission. _^_F£rd urges businesses to invest in Egypt. ; Fall drought dims hope ; for winter crop.
