It is a time dedicated to the eternal truths advanced by the Great Teacher whose birth we ac knowledge. These truths must be the guide for every well regulated life and must stand at the foundation of , every well ordered and happy society. In the practice of His Golden Rule may be found the way to happiness ; for every being. In the faith He gave lies rest for every troubled spirit. In the doctrine of the brotherhood of man exists the solution for the vex atious problems that trouble and dis tress our times. Crime and war, vice and poverty, dishonesty and brutality—all would cease to trouble us were mankind but capable of following the example He set. Beauty, art, good fellowship and all that makes life worth while would abound were everyone able to attain the heights of thought to which He advanced. Again we wish you a good, old fashioned Merry Christmas. May the j day find you in a jovial and happy! mood, but may it also bring to you , a few serious thoughts upon its more j profound significance. LET'S CO-OPERATE In every business the handling of [the peak load represents a serious problem. Nowhere is it wise to equip j the factory, the store, or the plant \ to take care of the big rush of busi- j ness that may come once a month or j 1 once a year. The government has recognized this business principle in its manage ment of the post office department. , It would be an atrocious waste of public money to man and equip our post offices the year round to handle the great rush of business that pre cedes Christmas. Just realize, if you can, what this Christmas period must mean to our j post office here in Forest City. You receive one or two packages on the average in the course of a month. Just before Christmas you recieve sveral packages every day. What j j George Lewis Star of "Fourflusher" ( With Marian Nixon I : George Lewis has been promoted i to bigger roles than he had in "The Collegians" and will be seen in the featured lead of "The Fourflusher" jat Horn's Theatre, Friday, December i 28. i | This feature length picture gives •' him additional opportunity to in idulge his natural flair for comedy, j "The Fourflusher" is not a college picture, being concerned with the troubles of a small-town sh«e clerk. Vibrant youth plays the prominent role in "The Fourflusher.' Lewis' rise to motion picture fame has been phenomenal. Just two years ago he was an extra endeavoring to get ahead and ambitiously trying jfor role after role. He finally land led a part in Edward Sloman's "His i People." Immediately afterward he was signed under a long term con tract and after appealing in "The Old Soak" was chosen to star in "The Collegians." His success in this, the best series of short subjects ev er made, determined Carl Laemmle to promote him even further. It is now planned to have him follow up the success of "The Four flusher" in other features with the THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1928 must it mean when everyone in the community is receiving and mailing many packages, cards, and letters daily? Postmaster McCurry and his effi cient force are determined to give us good service this Christmas. But there is a limit to what even such a .'capable bunch of workers as they are can accomplish. They need the co-operation of all of us. We should mail our packages |as early as possible, for there are I bound to be a lot of last minute shop ; pers who will load them up with work on December 23rd and 24th. Let's wish the post office staff a Merry Christmas by co-operating with | them in their efforts to give us good | service this year. JA PROBLEM : SOLVED. I I "What shall we get for George? I I Have you any idea as to what Mary would like? Oh, yes, we mustn't for ' get the Smiths who've moved to I I Peoria?" Questions such as these, and hun-1 dreds more like them, are flying] about the family circle these days, j There is much whispering and much guessing, and sometimes we all real- j ize these guesses aren't so good. But here is the answer to some of j those questions. Here is a solution • to the problem of what to get for the friends who have left Ruther- ■ ford County. •; They will all be delighted with a I subscription to The Forest City Cour- j ier. _ ! Your old friends who have left the ! county are still interested in the old ! home town. They like to come back | here to spend their vacations. They j are always delighted to receive letters ! from their old friends. They want to know what's hap- j pened to them. They enjoy learning! about their successes, are ready to j | send congratulations whenever there i | is a new addition to the family, are j pleased when they learn that some aim in view of starring: him shortly. | Marian Nixon, who has played ! opposite Reginald Denny in so many features, shares stellar hon i ors in "The Fourflusher" with Lewis. , The supporting cast, including many I former Collegians, is made up of l F'ddie Phillips, Churchill Ross, Jim j my Aye, Burr Mcintosh, Otto Hoff- I man, Wilfred North, Hayden Stev jenson and Miriam Fauche.

YOUR CREDIT— A PRICELESS ASSET He is a progressive, emerprising young man. He has worked on a sal ary for years, and now sees that fu ture success will be his if he can get into business for himself. But he needs credit—financial J backing. Before he gets it, however, .those who must trust him look into his .past record. They get a report on I him. If they learn that he is an ex ; cellent moral risk, that he always pays his bills promptly both large and small, they are ready to take a chance. If the report is not favora ble, however, then the credit is de nied and he must get back into the old rut. Your big opportunity will come some day. Don't jeopardize its chance of arrival by acquiring a rep utation as one who is a "poor credit risk." Your good name has a cash:,, value. i j The reckless driver is often a fel- j low who wants to see much of this I world, but will likely be viewing the I next before long. j Driving a car, remarks a local cit izen, would be much more pleasant if so many motorists didn't take the steering wheel and the laws in their own hands at the same time.
