'HOW TO ROAST TURKEY
Your Christmas turkey can be
roasted to a nice uniform brown
by covering it loosely in the
oven with a "tent" of foil. Some-
times it may be necessary to foil-
cover parts that are browning too
fast and to brush the skin with
fat. Basting is not necessary.
Soreheads and sapheads are dif
ferent in degree, but they are
equally tiresome.
The gift we treasure most was not given at
♦hi* Christmastime . . . but rather it was
given all through the year. This gift is your
friendship and patronage. We treasure it
most because we know it is your way of
showing us that our service has been wel-
comed by you, and that you value this
service. So for another year wa say "Merry
Christmas to All!"

i 'Snapdragon' Popular
A game called "snapdragon''
was very popular at Christmas
time in England more than 200
years ago. To a limited extent It
Is still played In some parts of
England, as well as In America.
The original game called for a
quantity of raisins to be deposited
In a large bowl or dish. Brandy oi
some other spirit was then poured
over the fruit and Ignited At u
g'ven signal, the participant; bi
empt to snatch a raisin frorr '-..i
lazing bowl.
To the casual observer, it is Just another typical night In Bethlehem,
sleepy town of many generations. Excepting, of course, that the popu-
lation is more than double, for all the descendants of David have come
to register as ordered by Herod. For many, there is no room.
And yet, there is more about this night! And there are some whose
faith and wisdom give them eyes to see. Near the hour of midnight,
a darkened sky suddenly shimmers with a light of ethereal beauty,
and angels appear to sing a great psalm:
"Glory In the
And on earth, pi-'o to men of good will."
A new star fires itself to brilliance near the edge of town, bathing
in its light the stable wi:ere a Galilean carpenter named Joseph has
taken refuge witli his bride, a queenly young girl named Mary. For
them, there had been no room.
The star rests above the humble shelter, sending down golden rays'
that Illuminate the area in a strange, unearthly manner.
In the distance appear a group of Magi, wise men of Persia. They
have followed the now resting star and are heavily laden with gifts of
gold—presents for a new-born king. Along the roads hear the shouts
of the citizens, led by angels, who come to adore.
There in the stable, wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a
manger, the Christ-child awaits.
FARM INCINERATORS
Farm families, outside city gar-
bage collection routes, are turning
to new smokeless, odorless incin-
erators to replace the old farm
rubbish piles. These incinerators,
fueled by LP-Gas, cost only a few
pennies a day to operate.

Rodeo fans all over the nation
are planning to converge on Dal-
las for the historic first National
Finals rodeo to be staged Dec. 26-
3o in the new State Fair Livestock
coliseum. Ticket orders have been
teceived from virtually every state
in the U. S. including Alaska and
Hawaii.
The first real "world series of
odeo'' will also be the first ro-
deo in the history of the cowboy
sport in which only the top 15
money-winners of the year in each
rodeo event are qualified to com-
pete, thus making the National
Finals a genuine "tournament of
champions." The contestants will
come from 18 states and Canada.
The National Finals, which is
being produced by the Rodeo Cow-
boys association itself, is a long-
time dream of the entire sport. Its
main aim is to clarify and drama-
tize, by means of this one big
rodeo, the method by which the
rodeo cowboy champions emerge—
hy winning the most money at all
the rodeos held throughout the
year.
Money the contestants win at
Dallas will be added to what
they've earned earlier during the
regular season. However, the
Finals purse is purposely fat
enough to shift the standings.

HEATING LOAD RELIEVED
Many older homes feel cold
and darafty because new rooms
have been added without any
thought to the extra heating load.
The way to solve this problem is
to install LP-Gas space heaters
in rooms built onto the original
home.
