It is (hat time again when each of us who have passed that miraculous magical time of childhood so want to turn back the years and not be the parent or grandparent but once more be that bright and misty eyed child with a heart and a head full of dreams, wonder and the belief that all is good and beautiful and miracles really do happen. But perhaps you believe, as do I, that that magic still lives in each of us, although we have shoved it far into the background by cynicism, fear of ridicule, and pride. At this glorious season we can once more look to Bethlehelm - and follow a star to a stable and a manger in a stall where lies a Babe- but not just a Babe but the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. The humble, the wise, the poor, the rich; they came in that long ago and once more we can go too “Oh Come Let Us Adore Him”, but only if we can believe as a little child. Do you still hear the sound of jingle bells in the sky? Can you still see a tiny sleigh and eight, or is it nine now with Rudolph guiding the way, tiny reindeer flashing across the sky and the moon and a little old driver ? If so you still have the magic of Christmas and it is still beautiful and sacred and fun. So for you, this Christmas, I wish for the joy and peace that Bethlehelm’s Babe can bring. The magic and fun of Santa Claus and the wonder of the heart of a little child. I wish you health, and wealth, the warmth of a warm family hearth but most of all I wish you love. For to love and be loved in return is the greatest joy and the greatest gift in the world.

Cannon D.D.S., practicing general dentistry in the Executive Plaza - 669-2974 - Monday thru Friday II. Our Floating Christmas Tree: We believed that whatever :ffort it would require to put our floating Christmas Tree in our ake, again, this year, would be effort well spent. Of course a immunity tree has special meaning only if there is community larticipation. So a tremendous “Thanks” goes to AL White, the nainstay behind the tree. Mack Kirpatrick and his people who lecorated it, Alderman Hoefling and others. Your part is to : enjoy it.” We are trying a new type of flashing lights; so this 'ear we are as excited about our tree as you are. III. And Of Course “MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL”: Our wish o all of you is that Christmas will be present in each day of your ives throughout 1977 - for it was a child who stated, “I like Christmas, people are nicer at tha t time.”
