--"-t--.sr-, THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS I962 VERSION Following the December 3rd vote. it has been stated by numerous bandsmen, and is un- animously agreed. that an ex- pression of thanks be made lo you for your impartial reporting of the "Band Question‘. and for your editorials which not oniy stated the facts correctly. but gave a clear concise piclure of the prohlrms involved. We, of the Silver Band, {owl that without your support, in the Dtar Mr. Ralph THE WESTON TIMES lETTERS Was aboard the police van, on his way to the jug; But I heard him exclaim 'ere they drove out of sight, I was foolish to drink and to drive on this night. I knew when he spoke he was blurred in his head, And should not have been driving - better off in his bed. The gifts he had purchased were spilled on the street, In the dirt and the snow at thespectators' feet; His eyes were all bloodshot, his hands were acquiver, And his late model car was now a wrecked flivver. Then soon that stupid, unfortunate lug, As dry leaves before the hurricane fly, The policeman on duty ne're batted an eye. "Too much Christmas spirit", to the driver, he sighed And the latter stood swaying while loudly he cried. Then what to my wondering eyes did appear, But a nice shiny car sitting up on its rear; The front end was upright against a tall pole, Replacing the rad with a large gaping hole. The driver was racing with the greatest of speed But to safety and caution had paid little heed. When from the street corner there came such a crash, I knew straight-away it was no minor smash; I raced to the threshold, threw open the door, As a screaming white ambulance flew past wiw With Maw in her housecoat, a cold in the head, We weren't thinking at all of going to bed; Just eyeing the T. V. with a big, midnight snack, For after the late show we'd be hitting the sack. 'Twas the night before Christmas and out on the sin The last-minute shoppers were covered with sleet; Tired policemen were directing the traffic with care In hopes that bad accidents would be most rare.

He retained the old home- stead and it is a model of work- manship and comfort. Its wood work, its walls, its trim and floors are still as sturdy and good as the day they were built away back in 1870. The furni- ture and some of the rugs are still in use, This family lives to carry on these attributes and traditions that characterized early pioneer to whom we owe so much.
