sent by many members of the Fort
Worth Bar Assn. to other mem-
bers who are in the armed forces.
▲ list of 105 members, with their
military addresses, was posted on
the county courthouse bulletin
board by the association secretary,
Judge Tom Renfro, along with a
reminder to correspond with the
men.
The list included the following:

But if they were, their greeting
from the doctor probably would
read something like this:

BOMBERS USE STEEL
Approximately three tons of
steel are used in making one
heavy bomber.
"Often because of tripe,
dances and parties, regular
hours of sleeping, eating and
exercise are commonly disre-
garded,” Dr. Williams said.
Dr. Williams said that because
adults often become careless about
their health during holidays, chil-
dren also suffer. “Unnecessary
exceptions in regulations for chil-
dren are made,” he said, “with the
result that the capacity for en-
joying subsequent events is great-
ly reduced.”
By simple attention to planning

days,” Dr. Williams explained.
"But it may not be amiss to point
out some of the indiscretions

rupted good health, should not be

Into their necessary sleep periods,
the doctor explained.
“Exercise during holidays is
often curtailed to the point of
complete abandonment or in-
dulged in to excess,” Dr. Wil-
liams said.
He explained that moderate out-
door exercise in the form of walk-
ing, riding or outdoor sports, even
in a lessened degree, will aid in
counteracting the detrimental in-
fluences so frequently incidental
to holiday festivities.
He warned against over indulg-
ence tn food as well as strong
drink, carelessness in hunting and
driving and pointed to the impor-
tance of wearing ample clothing
in the cold.
County officials will begin prep-
aration this week of their annual
reports which must bs submitted
to the state and county auditors.
Jan. 15 is the deadline for the re-
ports.
Several county officers will re-
port several thousand dollars
more earned than was necessary
to operate the offices during the
year. The excess amounts will be
returned to the county.
Exceptionally good showings
are expected from the county
clerk’s, district clerk’s anl tax
assessor-collector's offices. These
offices set all-time records with
their reports last year.
War engulfs practically the entire world ... yet in our hour of
IOroiliuf
travail we remember that this is Christmas.. . that Christmas
belongs to all the world, a symbol of hope, of love, of peace.
and all the richer things of life.
In every corner of the earth tonight hearts will hope again ..,
that wars may cease, the turmoil quiet, that Peace on Earth, Good
Will Toward Men will again become a reality.
We, in America, are fortunate in our strength, our splendid
manhood, our endless resources. For the spirit “that come what
may,” will assure us victory... for the inherent justice that will
enable us, as victors, to remake the strife-torn world on the
pattern that He who was born in Bethlehem centuries ago
would wish it.
Let the spirit of Christmas bring each of us to the realization
that we are a strong and fortunate people, and let each of us
at this time remember to pray for the success of our armed
forces, for the cause of Democracy, for a speedy and just victory.
