It's a Greeting Only You Could Send! there's still time to do that, too. Get the family together, arrange a suitable background, and take a series of shots. (If you're to appear in the picture, be sure to have a friend on hand to click the shutter for you!) You might want to get out some of your Christmas decorations, even if it seems like rushing the season a bit. An evergreen bough trimmed with some ornaments and tinsel can be usecl to excellent advantage. By placing it in the foreground, you cah create the illusion of part of a tree, which will lend a Christmas-like touch as well as an effect of depth to your picture. Should you prefer color in your cards, your dealer has slip-in mounts with an appropriate Christmas message, too. All you need to do is select your favorite color negative and have as many prints made as the number of names on your card list. Each one slips neatly into the space provided and is r£ady to be put into its envelope for addressing. --John Van Guilder Of all the many Christmas cards we received from our friends last year, those we enjoyed the most ft* and remembered the longest were the photographic ones. And the reason? Simply because the picture cach sender had selected made a unique and very personal message out of the usual traditional Yuletide greeting. In every instance--whether the picture in question was the latest addition to the family, a favorite pet amid gaily wrapped packages, the family gathered around the fireplace, or ai view of the front door--the card expressed a warm, intimate feeling thiat its greeting was "especially for you." With Christmas coming up fast, it's not a bit too early to begin thinking about having a photo- 4 graphic card made. Run through * the pages of your album and see whether there's a snapshot the whole family feels would make a good card. If so, take the negative to your photo dealer, select a style of folder or mount you like, and .he'll carry on from there. If you prefer to start out with a brand-new picture, however, Safe Driving Day Throughout Nation * President Eisenhower, in proclaiming the nationwide observance of Safe Driving Day today, Dec. 1, has emphasized two aspects of the drive against traffic accidents in this country. First, that such an urgent .plea should be made by the leader of our country to walk and to drive safely reveals not only the national concern over traffic problems but also the toelief that the solution lies in a strong appeal to mass sentiment and action. Second, such a presidential appeal voices the conviction that traftnc Occidents CAN be prevented byxorganized mass attack. Just howN serious is the traffic problem in this country at this tone? Last year, the National Safety Council estimates 36,000 people were killed and 1,250,000 injured in traffic accidents. The total cost of these accidents (including property damage, medical ^ expense, wage loss, insurance costs, etc.) amounted' to $4,400,- 000,000. . The causes of traffic accidents, while .^usually recognized as a complexity of factors each aiding and abetting the other, are drunk driving, speed, .traffic violations -- in general, those driving mannerisms grouped under the general heading of "reckless or careless driving." While the fever curve of the traffic death rate has shown sporadic spurts upward -- as in the pre-war jitters and the postwar jubilation of World War II -- it has shown a downward trend during the past ten years. The death rate last year, despite increases in population, travel, and motorists,- was the lowest on record: 6.4 persons for every 100 million miles of travel. The drive against traffic accidents in this country is not a new battle, but over the years it has grown to such a size that it has now become a national issue. In this campaign for traffic safety the necessity and effectiveness of intensive public education in safety is no longer a debatable point; rather we should like to think that the attrition of the traffic death rate over the years is due in some measure to the slow but certain effect of a public education program which, through its many spirited leaders,-has valiantly and persistently attacked the problem of traffic safety. NYE DRUG STORE iMmtlljly A message from your Nye Drug Store Pharmacist* WHEN YOU ARE SICK, you go to your physician because you know he can help you. You answer his important qUestiohs, often have a physical examination, and he prescribes a medication. ' WE COMPOUND YOUR PRESCRIPTION, you take the medicine, and you get well again. Then db you tell your friends, who seem to have the same illness, to use your prescription? YOUR PRESCRIPTION was written ^of you after a- careful study of your, particular trouble. Many different ailments have symptoms that look the same to you. Only a physician can correctly judge them, and it often takes more than one visit to do so. NEVER GIVE YOUR PRESCRIPTION to a friend or relative without permission from your physician. Advise them to visit their own physician, or yours if they have none of their own. AND WHEN YOU GIVE them this very sound advice, we would appreciate your mentioning that, since the compounding of prescriptions is our most important duty, we would welcome the privilege of becoming "Their Pharmacist."

Seneca Township is joined on the east by Dorr township, on the south iby Coral and on the north by Hartland. In early times the western part of the township was heavily wooded, thus supplying building material and fuel in abundance. Most of the early houses in this region were built of oak. The township was named for a tribe of Indians in New York state, from which region the early settlers migrated. E. Pettit was the first to claim land in this township. It later became the, Sponatole farm. In 1835, John Belden established his land claim. He hailed from La- Porte, Ind.

How Public Service Company keeps your electric bill down (while everything else goes up) Most things have doubled in price . . . but not electricity. Although you're using far more of it today, electricity actually costs you less per kilowatt-hour than in 1930. One way we keep your electric bill low is through continuing research. Our engineers have found many ways of increasing efficiency of all kinds of standard equipment. Recently, for example, they added 15% to the load-carrying capacity of "pipe-type" cable simply by burying the line deeper. As a result of this constant search for a "better way", today you're getting almost twice as much electricity for your money as you did 25 years ago. PUBLIC COMPANY
