Entertainment is
also planned and Santa Claus
is scheduled to arrive during

In regard to the
scheduling of the Holidays,
the dates this year fall at
quite an untimely time for a
newspaper.
However, we for-
te e no real problems.
The Enterprise will
be published each Thursday
during the Holiday Season, as
it always has.
The deadline for
news items and advertising
will be on Mondays instead of
the regular T uesdays.
This will be the
policy for the next two weeks.
Come the week of
January 6, 1969, everything
will again return to normal.
Simple.
Actually, we'll be
just moving up normal pro-
cedure one day. Sorta like
Daylight Savings time.
With the coming of
the Holiday Season, folks are
really put in a hazardous bit
of surroundings.
Most will be tra-
velling somewhere or going
to visit someone somewhere.
That is where the
danger comes in.
With more and more
traffic on the road these days,
the exposure to a traffic ac-
cident is greater than ever.
Actually, one's
chances are getting smaller
and smaller.
And that is not a
comforting thought
And this is certain-
ly no Holiday Season for law
enforcement officials because
this is really going to be a
busy season.
In fact, the Texas
