They shine and they beam, | they blink and they beckon; their reflections are captured in plate glass and passing car windows. But where are they brighter still? Capture, if you will, the re- flection. in the eyes of the very young . . - eyes so alive with ex- 'citement and anticipation, so full of joy and brimful of hope eagerness. Christmas lights the eyes of the young, but it is not a mere re- flection. It is a light that comes from deep within, from the reali- zation that there is something deeply wonderful about "he sea- son of Christmas; that there is a significant meaning about to be grasped and yet to be realized. This is the light that shines in the eyes of the young. It is hope; It is anticipation -- and eagerness --to grasp the meaning of Christ- mas, completely, fully. No Birthday Parly Without Christmas Were it not for the observance of Christmas--the greatest of all birthdays -- there would probably _ and be no birthday parties throughout the rest of the year. In ancient times, only pagans took part' in Early « Chris- tians associated birth with the as- sumption of original sin and therefore did not look upon the birth date as a time for celebra- tion. The Pharaohs of 'Egypt cele- brated their own birthdays, and we are told that King: Herod did, too. But it was-not until the 300's that the birth date of Christ was even noted. In the year 354 the Bishop of Rome declared Decem:= ber 25 to be-the anniversary of the birth of Christ and from that Christians - have observed , this most wondeeat of a = birehap xs: sonnaapaanaansaoaapann eC. MODERN TAXI . Os 2-3100 Haiteybury RARE ATTRA rones, The Bible says: the world that He gave His only Son.' As we prepare to celebrate an- other Christmas, how many of us remember these words -- or are our thoughts too completely oc- cupied with a present for Uncle John and Aunt Susie, with the preparation of lavish and expen- sive decorations; with the table settings for a sumptuous feast? God did so love the world .. . that He gave us His Son . . .that He gave us this day that we call CHRISTMAS. This He gave us; nothing more. He did not supply the traditions; He 'spoke not of holly and mistletoe, nor of food and feasting. The many things that have come to be associated with the observance of Christmas -- by all too many people -- have been Let No Decorations Spoil Your Holiday Have gala Christmas decora- tions turned your home into a fire hazard? - If you aren't care- ful with them, they may turn this season of joy into one of mourn- ing. The Christmas tree, as beauti- ful.as- it may be, is a potential torch. To be on the safe side, make sure your tree is freshly cut. Keep it in water or wet sand as long as it's in the house. Locate your tree away from all sources of heat and throw it away or re- plant it very soon after Christmas. It is the custom in some places to. use.candles in place of tree lights.-This is not only dangerous. but foolish. The candles may in- cense the atmosphere but they are also very -likely to send you, and your home up in smoke. Make sure that all "tree. lights are laboratory approved and_ that there. are no frayed cords or dam- aged sockets. Its not a good idea to. use the same extension _cords year after year. Get some new Be extra careful not to overload electrical circuits _ with additional lights and appliances. Make sure that all tinsel, angel hair, and other decorations. are nonflammable. Do not leave.dis- carded Christmas wrappings un- der the tree. 24 Sst popped Ce up fo say a friendly "Hello" and \ 6, wish you and yours we much happiness throughout * \_ the Christmas season! gS ENE EN ENE TE TEI HN EHC SITET O.

The sad part of it all is that some have become so fascinated by all the embellishments that they have lost sight of the true meaning of Christmas: Christ's birthday. The day on which Christ was born. The day of the Redeemer. A holy Day. A Spiritual Day. Let us keep our bright Christ- mas trees, the colored lights, and deck the halls with boughs of holly. Let us set a table that would please the palate of a king. But, with it all, let us find the time to search hopefully for the joy and peace that was Christ's purpose when He was born and when for thirty years and three He walked the face of earth, the highest ex- ample of life as a mortal being.
