Granddaughter of
LeRoy M. Anderson
weds in California
LeRoy M. Anderson, Sr., has
received word of the marriage of
a granddaughter, Elizabeth New-
comb, daughter of Mrs. Marie An-
derson Newcomb, who is a grad-

comb, a native Denisonian, who
is in the construction business in
Bell Gardens, Calif.
This is the second daughter of
Marie's to be married to a Cali-
fornia boy, her first daughter,
Roberta having married some

tial showers honored the bride-
to-be, however the young couple
decided to elope to an adjoining
city, and have the vows taken, re-
turning to their home in Bell
Gardens.
The contracting parties were
Miss Elizabeth Newcomb, daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert New-
comb and Phil Gilstrap, son of
Mrs. M. Noffsinger of Live Oak
street.
Witnesses to the wedding were
the groom's brother and wife, Mr.
and Mrs. Bill Gilstrap of Bellflow-
er.
The bride was gowned in a
street dress of beige and wore a
corsage of brown orchids. The
newlyweds will make their home
in Bell.
The bride is a 1958 graduate
of Bell Gardens high school and
is a member of Bell Gardens
Christian church and a member
of the local Rainbow Girls. The
groom is from Louisville, Ky.,
where he received most of hi
schooling.

"Li'l Abner," hit
film due at Rialto
America's favorite cartoon
strip, "Li'l Abner," which became
one of Broadway's most success-
ful musical comedies, has been
adapted by the authors of the
show, Melvin Frank and Norman
Panama, into a big-screen, Tech-
nicolor extravaganza, which starts
Sunday at the Rialto theatre. The
Paramount production goes a
great deal further in recreating
the wacky, wonderful world con-
ceived by AI Capp, clever origi-
nator of the cartoon strip, than
was possible by the limited con-
fines of the stage. All the hilar-
iously funny, off-beat characters
whose zany actions have held the
interest of the nation's comics
readers for years, will be seen in
the llesh, twice as funny as their

Faced with what is expected to
become one of the most deadly
Christmas-New Year's holidays in
several years trafficwise, the Tex-
as Department of Public Safety is
readying its forces for the sudden
surge Wednesday of yuletide driv-
ing.
Col. Homer Garrison, Jr., direc-
tor of the Texas DPS, has an-
nounced that every available man,
radar device and other law en-
forcement tools, will be used to
the utmost in an effort to hold
traffic accidents to a minimum.
He said the department's manpow-
er and equipment will be used to
remove what he called "accident-
prone" drivers from the highways.
The department last week an-
nounced its prediction of 111
persons to die in traffic acci-
dents during the 12-day period
extending from 12:01 a. m.
Dec. 23 through 11:59 p. m.,
Jan. 3.
The department will again this
year conduct its Operation Death-
watch during this holiday period
counting all violent deaths in Tex-
as. A prediction by Department
Statistician N. K. Koerner indi-
cated that a total of 200 persons
will be killed, including 47 homi-
cides and suicides and 42 other
accidental deaths.

A contract for 5.2 miles of

in Grayson county has been
awarded to a Nacogdoches firm,
it was announced in Austin this
week by the State Highway com-
mission.
R. W. McKinney submitted the
low bid of $340,776 on the proj-
ect. Construction of grading,
structures, flexible base and two
course surfacing treatment is ex-
pected to take 120 working days,

period
The DPS traffic law enforce-
ment plans announced by Garri-
son include the transferring of
license and weight patrolmen and
motor vehicle inspection patrol-
men to highway patrol duties for
the holiday period to bolster the
force of the Texas highway pa-
trol. The men have been assign-
ed certain segments of highways
to patrol with instructions to aid
motorists in distress, to help tour-
ists, and abvoe all to take neces-
sary action against all drivers
who speed, commit right-of-way
violations, drive while drinking,
or violate the laws of safe driv-
ing in any other way.
Garrison called upon drivers to
do all within their power to make
their holiday trips safe and pleas-
ant.
"Each driver is his own best
protector. Every person who gets
behind the wheel of an automobile
must stay constantly alert to avoid
situations that lead to traffic ac-
cidents. Texans, aided by thous-
ands of out-of-state drivers, will
crowd our streets and highways.
"Law enforcement officers on
all levels of government will be
working around the clock
throughout the period to do all
within their power to stop the bad
driver before he becomes involved
in a traffic mishap. But law en-
forcement cannot be at every
street intersection, at every curve
in the highway and at every
straight stretch of the road at
every minute of the day and
night.
"Common sense driving prac-
tices can prevent traffic acci-
dents, and it is the moral and le-
gal responsibility of every driver
to operate his vehicle in a safe
manner. It can be done. Only
with the full cooperation of mo-
torists can we hope to prevent
motoreides during this yuletide
season."

Along The—
of the Living God.
The scripture clearly states that
others are "anti-Christ.'' He him-
self says, "Why call ye me Lord
and do not the will of Him that
sent me?" He states clearly "He
that receiveth me receiveth him
that sent me." I am from the
Father. He that hath seen me
hath seen the Father, No man
cometh to the Father but by me.
"I am the way, the Truth and the
Life."
• Ideas merely abstractions
If the idea that Mary's concept
of what Jesus was merely amounts
to "an idea" as the founder of a
certain "church" claims, then the
whole thing rests on an abstrac-
tion. Truth to be made knowable,
to have content in knowledge
must be experienced. Experiences
are made passible through person-
alities. Personality must be cloth-
ing truth, love, passion, and all
the elements of expression cap-
able of being manifested by a
personality. A personality was
needed to express the love of God.
God so loved that He gave. And
that gift was in HIS SON. And
the Son became flesh and dwelt
among us. And He was crucified,
buried, brought back from the
dead in order that He might be
the redeemer of the world and
saviour of all mankind. This He
stated many times as being the
"Mystery of Godliness."
He emphasized the parable He
expressed when He stated that
"Unless the grain fall into the
ground and die it will not live."
And this fact was emphasized by
the Apostle Peter on the Day of
Pentecost when he stated, "It was
not possible that the grave should
hold Him." He, the Chirst, is the
author and finisher of life. He is
the first born from the dead and
hath the keys to hell and the
grave, the life and life-giver, the
head over all to the church.
He brings meaningfulness to
life, Christmas, he sets the pace
for our calendar, there is not any-
thing that was created that was
not by Him and by Him, the
world, the earth, the earth's oper-
ation, and the stars in their
courses are held together by Him.
Let those who have buildings
with empty and hollow sayings
and no Living Christ go on with
their mumblings, in their blind-
ness they may be "feeling after
God." Let all who love the Lord
pray that all men shall some day
come to the hour when the earth
shall be full of His glory and all
men shall know Him, whom to
know aright is to be members of
the household of righteousness.

"Yes, mam, we have a collection
of loafers. Just let me see if I
can get one of them to wait on
you!' '
Christmas authentic
story and liveable
The authenticity of the story of
Christ has been further establish-
ed over a period of years through
archaeologists' findings in the Je-
rusalem area.
A group of scientists recently
discovered the name of Jesus
carved before 70 a. d. among in-
scriptions on 11 early - Christian
burial urns found in a cave on
the Bethlehem-Jerusalem road.
These findings may prove to be
one of the oldest archaeological
records of Christianity, to give
fact and substance to the Biblical
stories of the trial and crucifixion
of Christ.
It is believed that these writ-
ings were left by a sect of He-
brews who were followers of
Christ and who had denounced
Pontius Pilate.
There were Hebrew and Arabic
inscriptions and symbols with ref-
erences to Christianity.
Other archaeological expedi-
tions have disclosed the presence
of the Greek letter "X" symbol
used to represent Christ, found in
the catacombs.
Pilgrim fathers were
opposed to merry
making as of today
Puritan disapproval of Christ-
mas celebrations disembarked
from the Mayflower with the Pil-
grims in 1621, and, accordingly,
Governor Bradford issued a state-
ment publicly rebuking certain
young men who declined to work
on December 25, "ye day called
Christmas."
This first New England Christ-
mas — or non-observance thereof
—should not be credited as the
first Christmas on American soil,
since Leif Eriksen spent winter
or two on the North American
continent around the turn of the
11th century.
Leif was a Christian, and it is
likely that members of his crew
were Christians, too; although it
is quite possible that some had
accepted the faith without remod-
eling their pagan natures, since
King Olaf's methods were ruth-
less and his command "Be bap-
tized , or else!" left them little
choice.
Undoubtedly, flagons of crude,
raw wine fermented from the
grapes of Leif's Vinland were
passed around and the celebration
may have been rather boisterous,
but in all fairness to Leif, who,
according to excellent testimony,
was a sincere convert—it is rea-
sonable to assume that there was
a trace of religious observance.
Perhaps Leif remembered the
few words of Latin prayer he
learned at the time of his con-
version and recited them in honor
of the birthday of the Redeemer
he had accepted. Thus, the first
Christmas In America was ob-
served.
First national
finals rodeo at
Dallas, Dec. 26
DALLAS _ The first National
Finals Rodeo, the climactic wind-
up to the 1959 rodeo season, will
open a five-day run Saturday,
Dec. 26, in the State Fair Live-
stock coliseum here.
The historic new "world se-
ries" of rodeo will have ten go-
rounds or performances, at 2 and
8 p. m. daily during the five days
of the rodeo.
There will be a complete sec-
tion of competition at each go
round in saddle bronc and hare
back riding, bull riding, steer
wrestling and calf roping, and all
qualified contestants will compete
at each go-round.
The National Finals features
many "first" for the sport of ro-
deo. It is the first rodeo in his-
tory in which only the top money-
winners of the year are qualified
to compete. It js the first cow-
boy contest for which the best
bucking stock from all over the
nation was hand-picked on the
bases of performance throughout
the year.
It is also the first world's
championship rodeo ever to be
produced by the Rodeo Cowboys
association itself.
The contestants are the top fif-
teen money-winners of the regu-
lar rodeo season in each of the
five events. The 69 contestants,
six of them qualifying in two
events, come from 18 states and
Canada. Among them, they won
a total of $872,906 in prize
money during the regular 1959
season.
The 255 head of bucking stock,
70 "qualified" brones or bulls in
each of the three bucking events
and 15 "reserves"—were collect-
ed from the strings of 25 stock
contractors in 14 states and Can-
ada who furnish stock for RCA-
sanctioned rodeos all over the na-
tion.
World championships in the
five standard events will be de-
clared following the National
Finals, which runs through Wed-
nesday night, Dec. 30, and the
cowboy champions will ride in
the big Cotton Bowl parade
Thursday morning, Dec. 31.
Tickets for the National Finals
are on sale at the State Fair Live-
stock Coliseum and at 1315 Elm
street in downtown Dallas. Ticket
prices are $4 for reserved seats
and $6 for box seats.
SAFETY STRESSED BUYING,
USING ELECTRICAL GIFTS
For those who will receive elec-
trical appliances this Christmas
the National Board of Fire Un-
derwriters has a few safety tips.
First, if the appliance is a per-
manent fixture, rather than some-
thing portable, be sure it is in-
stalled by a professional.
Second, whatever it may be,
don't call on the home handyman
when it eventually needs repairs.
Makeshift electrical repairs can
cause a serious fire hazard, and
can give the amateur electrician
a bad shock.
Givers of electrical gifts should
remember to look for the UL la-
bel. Appliances which bear it have
passed Underwriters' Laborato-
ries tests for fire and shock haz-
ards.
Special warning
to rural drivers
of autos issued
With the 12-day Christmas-
New Year's holiday opening Dec
23, Col. Homer Garrison Jr., di-
rector of the Texas Department
of Public Safety, has Issued a spe-
cial warning to rural motorists.
Garrison pointed out that this
holiday period is expected to be-
come one of the deadliest in sev-
eral years for Texas motorists. To
overcome the threat, he said every
driver must accept his responsi-
bility to drive in accordance with
traffic laws and other rules of
safety.
The Texas Department of Pub-
lic Safety earlier had announced
that it would start counting mo-
toreides and all other violent
deaths jn Texas at 12:01 a. m.
Dec. 23. The count period will
end at 11:59 p. m. Jan. 3.
Throughout this period every
available patrolman of the Texas
DPS will work overtime to regu-
late traffic on our highways and
make every effort to prevent traf-
fic accidents.
Garrison warned rural drivers
of the increased dangers of hol-
iday driving and called their at-
tention to the fact that farm-to-
market roads and ranch roads will
be used more than normal during
the period.
"During this holiday motorists
will have two long weekends in
which to make trips. We have
other indications that there will
be more driving than usual dur-
ing this holiday period.
"We wish to call upon rural
motorists to use extra caution in
all their driving this yuletide. Be
extra careful in entering a high-
way from a side road or private
drive, and observe the signs erect-
ed for your protection, especially
at areas under construction."
The department expects a death
county of 111 motoreides for the
12 days of Christmas and New
Y ear's and a total of 200 violent
deaths including other accidental
deaths, homicides and suicides.
Garrison has promised Texas
motorists that every available ef-
fort will be made to keep our
highways safe. He said every
Dvailable man and law enforce-
ment tool, including radar, will be
used through the day and night in
this vigil. But he charged driv-
ers themselves with the major re-
sponsibility.
He said, "Common sense driv-
ing practices can prevent traffic
accidents, and it is the moral and
legal responsibility of every driv-
er to operate his vehicle in a safe
manner. Only with the full co-
operation of motorists can we
hope to prevent motoreides during
this vuletide season."
MISTLETOE MAY BRING
GOBLINS OUT AT YULE
Though the mistletoe—popular
American Christmas decoration—
plays the dual characters of de-
structive killer (to trees) and pro-
moter of love (to people), super-
stition has it that the plant can
switch roles in a twinkle.
For instance, if the yuletide
mistletoe bough isn't removed
from a house by Candlemas Eve
(Feb. 1), each leaf left will pro-
duce a goblin to plague the care-
less occupants during the next
year.
Courtesy driver
shows a person
well-mannered
AUSTIN — "I cannot think of
any activity in which common
courtesy plays a more impotrant
role than it does in traffic."
This statement was made today
by J. O. Musick, general manager
of the Texas Safety association,
as he discussed safety jn driving
during the coming holidays.
It never ceases to amaaze
me," Musick said, "how frequnet-
ly serious accidents could have
been avoided if only the driver
had execLsed the same degree of
courtesy in driving that he uses
in other dealings with his fellow
man.
"Few persons will barge ahead
of their neighbor in going through
a door, still fewer will bowl their
guests out of the way in order to
get to a comfortable chair. Yet,
these same kinds of discourtesies
and more are common on our
streets and highways."
The safety expert cited the fol-
lowing six courteous driving ac-
tions that ". . . will do much to
increase the degree of safety for
every motorist:"
1. Use hand or light signals
before making a turn or changing
lanes of traffic. Don't be secre-
tive about what you intend to do,
because sudden, unexpected
moves can easily lead to rumpled
fenders or worse.
2. Just as you need to signal
before turning, so, too, you
should warn the car behind you
before stopping. Tap brakes sev-
eral times before stopping, the
flashing tail-light will alert oth-
ers.
3. When in doubt . . . yield.
Don't worry about who has the
right-of-way, jf there is any ques-
tion of it, let the other fellow
go first. Remember, it is easier
to prevent an accident than to re-
port one.
4. Yield, also, for pedestrians.
T hey may be wrong, but they
don't deserve to die for their mis-
take. Too, just as often as not
the pedestrian will have the right-
of-way, if you doubt this just ask
one of your lawyer friends.
5 Dim your lights. All of us
have experienced the aggravation
of meeting an oncoming car (or
having one behind us) in which
the driver refused to dim his
lights. This is not only discour-
teous, but extremely dangerous.
6. Be especially patient when
in heavy traffic. Weaving in and
out and tooting your horn only
jangles the nerves of their motor-
ists. You may get by with such
action for awhile, but it is inev-
itable that sooner or later you
will lose all the time you ever
saved, in a single accident.
