Even Police Chief Meh hi has reached the end of his [Jatience. He has been as lenient as possible with those who double park and where it has been necessary, has let it go with a caution, hut the last day or two he has found several instances where parties have trippie parked, which “Seph” says is going just a couple of jumps too far. Please cooperate with the officials in keeping the streets cleared for traffic. It's very important. Cashing money orders or checks for strangers is a risky business and unless the identification is complete, should not be practiced. In the rush of business it s sometimes easy to put over these tricks' and especially when those who so engage are of the slick artist type who have practiced the game for some time. The culprits should be hunted and punished accordingly.

What were you saying?” he was interrupted by Rachel. "The radio announces that the snow plow from Warnton has stuck at the comer and will rave to be ; dynamited out. No one can get ■ through highways farther than the | crossroad's corner,'' Rachel hurried to the telephone's jingling. I "It was Martha calling. She and I Gene and the children started here I but are blocked in at a home of kind strangers. I wish we could I get food to the Harrison family in the Bottoms. They have no telephone, no near neighbors, and would freeze if they tried to get ! here through high drifts. Such a winter! It looks as though our Christmas will be “we two.” she I sighed at the color-lighted tree. "Well, I see I’ll have to shovel i out the driveways again,” Harris I announced, pulling on jacket and I gloves. Later when he went inside to warm his fingers he heard Martha i humming and was thankful that I she was cheerful over the disapI pointment of Christmas e e without ! her relatives. Odors of savory food ' and the attractive table with Christmas colors, were inviting as I he stamped in after evening chores were finished. "Tonight will be the worst so far this w inter. The w ind s rising and i snow blowing. A terrible night. I Surely no one woult* venture on highways—why—where is the tree? i Did you dump it outside because I our company didn't come?” he lo« ked. to be sure Rachel was sane. The Visitor Pointed Toward the West. "That Light Guided Is.” 1 then at the empty corner where ! the tree had stood. i "Yes, the radio announced the j temperatures will be lowest of season. so far.” "The tree. Rachel! Did you i throw it out?” ! "That's exactly what I did—only didn't throw—"a shout from outside sent Harris quickly to the door. "Come in from the terrible blizzard, you poor frozen—how did you get here?” Rachel helped Harris unwrap five shivering visitors, - Mr. and Mrs. Harrison and children. | "Oh, it’s been terrible getting I here. But it was either to freeze and starve at home or risk getting here,” Mr. Harrison wheezed. "But, how did you?” Harris began. "Outside — see the dogs. We hitched them to the sled. The blessed creatures helped us otvr drifts which are now frozen.” Steaming food was soon on plates and faithful dogs were lapping milk and broth near the kitchen range. "How did you find the direction—the way in blinding snow?” Harris looked puzzled. "Well, we got to the top of King's Ridge in the pasture, and cr.me toward the light. The light near your grove, back there,” the visitor pointed toward the west. "That light guided us.” "What light?” Harris stammered. "Harris, dear, will you please carry our Christmas tree back into the house? I carried it outside this morning to the grove and put food on it for birds, wild ducks and any other wild animals that need food and shelter. Then, tonight, I hung that large lantern with the strong light on top the tree to guide ; whoever might need it. Merry laughter Tang into the night as nuts were cracked and corn popped. Christmas morning Mr. Harrison helped keep snow from driveways and a path to the grove where the children carried food to a stack of fodder which the men had placed for the wild animals. “Snow may be drifted high outside. But kindness inside of me needs never be blocked so it can not be scattered and be a guide to others,” Rachel mused after the happy Christmas of the worst win- | ter. © Western New spaper Union. i
