Besides the usual socks, Santa remembered us quite generously. Wo spent time with good friends, sat down to a bountiful meal and found great joy in the happiness around us. "Brenda" drew our name and presented us with the following: Lend an oar. my dear old friend, I cannot tell a lie, ^ This little package should contain A lovely Christmas tic. It was a bright and shiny thing. With glowing, sparkling tree, But something happened on the way And now -- Oh, woe is me! The postal service let me down. So never more I'll roam, I'll do what I've told others And" always shop at home. After that angel stuff, she gave us a gift that read "From one nut to another." That girl is clovbr. And she can cook! On Saturday, she delivered the missing gift -- a brilliant Christmas tie with battery and bulbs. It's a doozy. Knowing that our "Brenda" isn't one to toss a buck around carelessly, we wondered about her getting stuck in buying two gifts. But, the second one had a card telling us we were doubly felessed. We read this once -- wc Speeding along our best wishes and thanks to all our good friends. It's been a pleasure to serve you. MORRIE'S CITGO SERVICE 4502 W.

We listened to those who remember the true meaning of Christmas. We spoke to people we didn't know and they returned a smile that goes with the season. We even saw car drivers show courtesy and give the other fellow a break. It was Christmas with good will and we wished the spirit could remain. On Friday noon the Plaindealer crew gathered 'round to exchange gifts. The girls baked goodies and somebody (must have been Bill Moore) made coffee. We had some fun. We liked Karen's thoughts nnd think she cdUld add thanks for the gift of being able t-Q write such beautiful thoughts. Wc were sorry to read of those suspensions in the U. of I. basketball team. No doubt rules were broken. However, wc hate to see so few. suffer for deeds of so many. If any of us are so naive as to think extra inducements have not been handed out to athletes for many years, wo had better look again. beginning to pick up a full head of steam, fish are- hitting fdriously through the thickening ice, and prizes are pouring in to Derby headquarters. Over one hundred prizes will be dished out to winners of the various fishcatching categories and special events contests. All of these are in addition to the top first prize color television: second prize camper trailer; and third prize Model 250 Polaroid Camera, for a total value in excess of J1500. Prizes will be placed on display in Antioch prior to Derby Day, as drool-bait for contest entrants. Hot refreshments will be served up on the ice all day long, to keep the inner man contented. Bait stores are filling their bait tanks to capacity in order to accommodate the army of expected Klondike fishermen. There is a reported short supply of weed worms this year, but other forms of fish-snagging goodies are plentiful and will fill the gap. The Channel Lake Derby site is 3 miles west of Antioch on Illinois Route 173. The complete program of fishing and special events contests will be made public prior to Derby Day. iRRISON, PERRINO, LARSEN AND DOUGHERTY TAKE FIRST PLACES IN GRANT TOURNEY Long years ago a former college football coach answered our query about such things very briefly -- "Just toll tho schools to be honest".

The Driver's Seat A new roadside safety feature is appearing in Kansas ;ind elsewhere in the nation. * Large directional reflective signs along Interstate 70 in Topeka, Kans. are mounted on posts that break harmlessly away when accidentally struck by a speeding vehicle. The same kind of breakaway sign also is being tested on other Kansas roads in an effort to keep pace with a rcord high volume of traffic. according to the State Highway commission. Such signs , installed in nine Topeka area locations, a r e d e s i g n e d w i t h " s l i p p l a t e s " ® j u s t a b o v e t h e ground and immediately below the sign. On impact, the slip plates separate, the sign supports are pushed forward, and the sign flies harmlessly over the top of the vehicle, thus reducing the injury-causing factors in the "accident. Other signs are being moved behind existing guard rails. Where they cannot be moved, slip joints are being installed in the steel posts. When an average vehicle hits a breakaway post at a speed in excess of 35 miles per hour. posts equipped with slip plates will separate. Breakaway signs also arc being tested in Texas and Pennsylvania. Among other developments being tested or considered in Kansas: 1. Slopes to ditches are being reduced so drivers, if forced to leave the highway, can more easily control their vehicles. 2. Edge striping along all two-lane routes is being considered. 3. To encourage better construction and material controls. a new book of standard specifications has been published. Highway plans for future construction also are being reviewed to reduoe roadside obstacles Don Peasley Photo Mark Kuenster. 10 of Crystal Lake, enjoys meeting his new purebred Hampshire ewe, a gift of the men shown with him.
