This has been a quiet Christmas
for most people. Sheriff Panther’s
warning about the law against
shooting fire works of any kind
helped keep down some of the
noises. Those who want better
whiskey, cheaper, legally, and not
have to sneak to get it are being
careful that the spirit of the law
is observed. Throughout the com
munity it seems to have been a
time for friends and relatives to
gpt together and enjov the fellow
ship of one another. The churches
all had interesting Christmas pro
o-'-ams and the radios and televis
ion sets kept thousands conscious
|gltf|rhat Christmas means to a free
n^^rica. Here and there many
groups sent out baskets of food,
fruit and candy to help spread
Christmas cheer. The Kiwanis
Club which held no meeting on
Tuesday, used their luncheon money
to duv oasKexs oi iood ior tne
needy through the Welafer Depai-t
ment and distribute many of them,
in person. There are still many
“open house” and cocktail parties
scheduled in homes throughout this
area. Sunnydale is giving its an
nual New Year’s Eve dance. To
day is St. Stephen’s Day and there
was Holy Communion this morn
’T,g at 10*30 at the Episcopal
Church of the Holy Cross. Tomor
