Keep It Sacred
If Gor so loved us that He gave
His Son,
A ransom for the sins of every
one,
How shall we value Christmas—
count its worth?
Let’s take care not to desecrate.
As in our joy we celebrate
The anniversary of the Christ
Child’s birth.
Be merry, yes, and may all woes
take wing.
But most of all proclaim the
new-born king. .
READ THE MIRROR WEEkLY
May your tree be laden
with gifts of health and
wealth and happiness.

Heap on more wood! The wind

Christmas! We hope
you have a very

there is no deadline by which train
ing must commence, but veterans
who were discharged before Au
gust 20, 1954, must begin in time
to complete their training by Au
gust 20, 1963. Those who left the
armed forces after August 20,
1954, must begin in time to com
plete their training by January 31,
1964, or nine years after their date
of separation, whichever date comes
earlier.
VA pointed out that th.ere are
no deadlines applicable for medir
cal care, hospitalization or domi
ciliary care. Similarly, there are no
deadlines for applications for com
pensation or pension.
The new pension law, however,
provides that veterans and their
dependents receiving pension must
make an election before July 1,
1960, whether they choose to re
main under the existing pension
system or go under the new
scheme.

God^resi ye, little children.
Let nothing you affright,
For Jesus Christ, your Savior,
Was born Ihis happy night;
Alonig the hills of Galilee
T^'e white flocks sleeping lay.
When Christ the Child of Nazareth
Was born on Christmas Day.
—D. M. Mulock
The time draws near the birth of
Christ;
The moon is hid; the night is
still;
The Christmas bells from hill to
hill
Answer each other in the mist.
