There -are only as many days in the year as you make use of." - Charles Richards This morning a certain man was in the cafe, and the discussion of patterns of silver was brought up. fie said he couldn't remember the lume of their pattern of silver but he thought it was "Courtship/* We had a big laugh oecau^e none of us hid ever heard of that pattern of course it is possible for it to be named that but we had never heard of ft. Names for patterns of china, silver and crystal have become so fantastic that anything is possible. Yesterday while out news gather ing it was fascinating to see how the various county offices wererdec orated for Christmas. As you .walk ed from office to office the^piiit of Chrflflhawvould gitwt jajk-^pd the atmosphere just sAeiaw|pr1ike Christmas. jScijje fit fhe wr.ice* J | Vidted vfci?fha& prefty decora tions were the DPC'A, AriCS, Agri cultural building. Auditors office and various others. It .is lots of fun to see the many ways people express themselves with damnations at Christmastime.. I think that is one of the beauties of Christmas, most any arrangement or any idea that comes to ones mind is accep table. Everything is pretty, and children are allowed to express their artistic ability and they home times come up with remarkable originality. Have you read in the "Ford Times" for January issue "Ver mont's Weirdest Legend"? I re member reading the story about ten years ago and it created a lot of conversation Bt that time, so 1 was interested when I saw that it had been re-printed. It seems that in the mountains of Vermont in a very poor section, many, many years ago, they had a custom of quick freezing and storing people for the winter. Such persons as grandmas and grandpas, crippled aunts and uncles and the hired help were too much of a burden to feed during the long winter months, and food was to scarce to last all winter. The 1 unneeded persons were drugged with a specially prepared "mon shine". given a quick freeze, put away in layers in boxes in a cold spot where animals could not bot her them. Then when May 10th ar rived, the people were taken out of the boxes, thawed out, fed a hearty meal and started about their daily routine of living. Read it. it is fas* cinating!
