THE SHEPHERDS ARE TOLD
OF A SAVIOR LUKE 2:8-17
From
THE LIVING BIBLE
“That night some shepherds were in the fields out-
side the village guarding their flocks of sheep. Sud-
denly an angel appeared among them, and the land-
scape shone bright with the glory of the Lord. They
were badly frightened, but the angel reassured them.
“Don’t be afraid!’’ he said. “I bring you the most
joyful news ever announced, and it is for everyone!
The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been
born tonight in Bethlehem! How will you recognize
him? You’ll find a baby wrapped in a blanket lying
in a manger!”
Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of
others-
■the armies of heaven—praising God:
“Glory to God in the highest heaven,” they sang,
“and peace on earth for all those pleasing him.”
When this great army of angels had returned again
to heaven, the shepherds said to each other, “Come
on! Let’s go to Bethlehem! Let’s see this wonderful
thing that has happened, which the Lord has told
us about.”
They ran to the village and found their way to Mary
and Joseph. And there was the baby, lying in the
manger. The shepherds told everyone what had hap-
pened and what the angel had said to them about
this child.

Use Christmas Seal's
A lot has changed since
Granny's day. Polluted air.
Cigarettes. Crammed super-
highways. But Christmas is
still beautiful. And so are
Christmas Seals.
This year's Seals sport
Granny's double-decker house,
glassy skyscrapers, funny old-
fashioned trains and sleighs,
split-level suburban homes,
snowball fights, and lamp-
light carolers. The mix is
both modern and traditional.
One of the changes since
Granny's day is a people ex-
plosion. Just. 65 years ago,
when the first Christmas Seal
was printed to fight tubercu-
losis, there were only 87 mil-
lion Americans. Today the
figure has sped past 200 mil-
lion and is headed skyward.
In the old days, TB was a
killer called the White Plague
which spread like brushfires
from person to person. Out of
every 100, 000 people, 174
died from TB in a single year.
Today, only two out of the
same number die from the
disease. Modern drugs can
treat and prevent die disease
if it is detected in time.
Christmas Seals still fight
TB because die disease itself
hasn't died yet. Last year
nearly 40, 000 new active
cases were found in this coun-
try. Ail unknown number of
people have TB without know-
ing it. Coughing, fatigue,
and weight loss can be suspi-
cious symptoms. And today
diere's a new killer that wipes
out the lives of 300, 000 Amer-
icans every year--cigarettes.
Granny never heard of Emphy-
sema because cigarettes were
not a deadly national pastime
The annual Christmas din-
ner party of Twentieth Century
Club was held Tuesday night
at Garland’s Steak House with
husbands as guests for the even-
ing.
Mrs. Travis McNair directed
the program in which exagger-
ated take-off of a typical wo-
man's club business meeting
and serious discussion took
place.
Groups were divided for dis-
cussion of serious global events
and present day problems which
were answered in short pre-
pared answers.
The dinner was followed by
games of bridge and 42.
Those present included Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Sandel, Mr.
and Mrs. John Winn, Mr. and
Mrs. Paul Jacobs, Mr. and
Mrs. Ellis Mills, Mr. and Mrs.
in her day. A lime chewing
tobacco didn’t create lung
cripples. Today Christmas
Seals fight emphysema, TB,
and air pollution because
they're there.
Answer your Christmas Seal
letter today. And to find out
what can be done to fight off
diseases that affect the lungs,
contact your local tuberculo-
sis and respiratory disease
association. It's a matter of
life and breath. Maybe even
yours.

Winter Weather Stops Harvest. . . Consumers Sound
Off . . . Confined Feeding Regulations Rejected . . . Cold
Weather Slows Screwworm.
Old man wintei slowed harvest of Texas agricultural
products from the Panhandle to the Rip Grande Valiey.
Citrus harvest was at a slower pace due to cold, wet
weather. Cotton and grain sorghum harvest on the High and
Low plains was delayed by snow and freezing weather.
Peanut and soybean harvest was also cut back due to
the weather; farmers were also unable to complete seeding
of wheat and oats.
But in spite of the bad weather, overall harvest is
generally ahead of last year. Cotton harvest for the state is
now more than 40 percent complete compared with less
than a third a year ago. Grain sorghum harvest, on .he other
hand, is slightly below last year at this time. Peanut harvest
is virtually complete. Sugarbeet harvest is 60 percent
finished compared to only aboul 50 percent at this time
last year. Soybean harvest is behind this year compared to
1971; this year the crop is about three-fourths gathered; a
year ago harvesting of soybeans was 05 percent complete.
Pecan harvest is again slowed due to the weather for
the third straight week in a row.
Wheat seeding throughout the stale is almost complete
as is oat planting. Flax seeding is 75 percent complete
compared with slightly more than half a year ago.
CONSUMERS had their chance'to soOhcToff recently
regarding dairy products. A survey of consumers was
sponsored recently by the Texas Department of Agriculture
to give the dairy industry information on consumer
acceptance of dairy products.
The two most serious complaints voiced by the
consumer were spoiled and bad quality products and faulty
containers. High prices were also a complaint by consumers.
Consumers suggested to the dairy industry that it
provide fresher dairy products, date all product containers,
use more glass milk- containers, provide a wider variety of
cheeses.
The survey was conducted in the Houston, Lubbock,
San Antonio, and Tyler areas.
TEXAS Water Quality Board's proposed water
pollution control regulations for dairy and poultry
operations have been withdrawn. The Texas Water Quality
Board will continue its present policy of handling each
confined feeding operation individually under its waste
control order or "permit" system Only swine are exempt
from this. Swine operations are required to register under
the swine feeding regulations.
COLD weather has slowed screwworm infestations,
and this is providing an opportunity for officials in charge
of the screwworm eradication program an opportunity to
make plans for 1973.
Screwworm eradication officials at Mission look upon
this period as a time to "catch up" in efforts to eradicate
the screwworm in 1973.
Cooperation between Mexico and the U. S.
governments as well as cattle producers in those two
countries will help to improve prospects for the 1973
eradication effort, officials explained.
It costs Uncle Sam about
one cent to make a dollar
bill.
Fish swim upstream because
it is easier to obtain food titan
by swimming downstream.
Benjamin Ftanklin invented
