‘Tis the season to be jolly. This is a phrase we’ll be hearing during the holiday season many times. And it truly is a season to be jolly. It’s also a season to remember. For the entire Christmas season and its Biblical basis should be remembered. Without the birth of Christ and its impact on the human race, no doubt man’s destiny would be other than we find it today. In our giving this Christmas we

The Spirit Os Christmas

The old-time Christmas, with its simple virtues and. traditions, has largely become .a part of history. the Christmas of homemade toys and gifts, of candlelighted trees gay with strings of popcorn and paper ornaments. And something has been lost because of' the inevitable changes in the Christmas celebration that the swiftly-passing years have brought. We live in an era of vast material abundance. But the very weight of this lavish materialism can undermine that spiritual abundance which is of infinitely greater importance. What must never be allowed to change is the Christmas spirit and the Christmas story of the Christ Child. Charity, faith, kindliness, courage, strength in the face of adversity — these are

• Spotlight on Improving Business ... Advertising Is Most Efficient And Economical Way Os Selling By arch Baumgartner J i: '' Publisher THE MAIL-JOURNAL /

“Advertising is clearly the most 3 efficient and economical way of 1 Soling . . . ” " i This is the opinion of a man ; who should know — Luther H. ; Hodges, United States Secretary of ( Conpnerce. Before he entered pub- 1 lie service Mr. Hodges attained 1 fame and fortune as a salesman. He estimates that advertising 1 works four times more efficiently i than personal salesmen doing the ] same job. In other words, in salar- < ies alone, advertising represents a 1 savings of $36,000,000,000 annual- i ly to the United States economy. ( But to Mr. Hodges advertising has a more important role: < “Without advertising, our na- 1 tional per capita . income would i fall. The market demand for goods ; and services would shrink; - pro- .1 duction would fall off, and many < jobs would disappear. <

8 ET 40 ENJOYS CHRISTMAS PARTY Kosciusko County Salon no. 532 of 8 and 40 met Thursday evening at the Warsaw American Legion home. Mrs. Joe yVatkins, Le Petit, Chapeau, presided over the business meeting. Roll call was answered by each partner present giving the number of Christmas seals purchased.. The 21 reported a total of S4O spent for the seals. Mrs. Lloyd Moser of New Castle, formerly of Leesburg, being unable to attend because of icy roads, called the group during the meeting to wish them a happy holiday season. At the close of the business meeting a gift exchange was held. Mrs. Robert Heagy, acting as Santa Claus, assisted by Mrs. Dale Bennett, distributed the gifts. The . door prize was won by Mrs. Hazel Cook. Mrs. Herbert Felkner, Mrs. Stanley Scott, Mrs. Dale Stump, Mrs. Ralph Berkeypile, and- Mrs. Russell Ruch, all of Milford, served on the refreshment committee. Others present were Mrs. Mary F. Ashley, Mrs. Ralph Brower, Mrs. Dale Hursey, Mrs. Mary Tenney, Pierceton; Mrs. Harold Barker, Mrs. Ermal Vanator, North Webster; Mrs. Betty Jackson, Milford; Mrs. Ralph Byrer, Mrs. Everett Norris, Mrs. Frank Ohmart, Mrs. Robert Pfeiffer, and Mrs. Harry Walters, Warsaw. mm

should remember the true meaning back of it. Giving has a deep-rooted significance: It’s more than saying “thank you” for a year’s work or a mere token toward a friend or relative. It should be hooted in love and understanding. This story will be told over and over in our community churches. We should make an effort to attend at least one of these services to recaptyre this true meaning of Christmas.

among the qualities, which Christmas, in its magnificent symbolism, stands for. These, too, are qualities which are far too rare in a world torn with jealousies and troubles and married with cynicism and selfishness. At any rate, Christmas is almost here again. Let it be a time when children are made happy —for Christmas, the heart of Christmas, is theirs most of all. And let it be a time when we who are older recall what the true meaning of Christmas is. “Peace on earth, good will toward men.” These magnificent old words will be spoken once more, and the great old music will sound. We have not realized that hope. But each of us, at Christmas, should resolve to do whatever he can to make it come true.

“Almost all of our current problems are rooted in inadequate market demands, When consumer spending for goods and services, and business spending for plant, equipment, and inventories tend to Jag, our whole economy falls below its potential.. “Volume sales permit manufacturers to make profits on small margins per unit. If we were deprived of modern mass marketing, of which advertising is'an essential ingredient, the' prices of products would rise”, Mr. Hodges commented. He expects average family income to rise to SIO,OOO by 1970, but he does not look for automatic prosperity. “If otir economy is to grow as the times demand, advertising must grow with it ... ” thus concludes the old-time retailer and distinguished public servant.

Statehouse Gets 32 Year Old Colorado Spruce Each year during the early days of December, the Indiana Department of Conservation provides an Indiana-grown Christmas tree for the rotunda of the State House. This year, however,, the tree selected for this singular honor will be allowed to grow for 12 more months due to the generosity of Mrs. Orpha M. Osborn of Plainfield. Last week Mrs. Osborn called the Department of Conservation and told us of a tree she has had

Dear Amy: Someone who says they know you very well told my parents that Amy Adams is not your real name. Is that true? I hope you won’t think I have • nerve for asking you this question. I’m 13. If it’s too personal, don’t tell me, but if you want to tell me, I would like to know why you don’t write under your given name. « Iris Dear Iris: Because my given name is not nearly as interesting . . . and for another reason. When I was your age, I wrote a poem and signed it “Amy Adams.” It won first prize. “Amy” has been very good to me and I wouldn’t think of deserting an old friend. • • • Dear Amy: I’ve been a housewife and mother for 14 years. I’ve raised three children and this was enough for me for the time being. Now, I find I would like to work in P.T.A., Cub Scouts, etc. However, I find it very difficult to relax in a group of more than four. Why my voice even changes when I speak! I seem so unnatural. I’m becoming more embarrassed but I don’t want to call it quits. When I’m called upon to speak, I seem to panic. Can you advise some voice training or books on speaking or relaxation or just what it is that I need to help me. I’m really ... iDistressed Dear Distressed: Your problem is not as serious as you think although many women are faced with it at one time or another. The secret of attaining poise and confidence with others is believing in a project deeply, becoming so wrapped up in it that you forget about yourself, and consequently, you will forget to be shy. Try it! It works every time. • • • Dear Amy: I am a tired grandmother. I raised a big family of my own and I dreamed that some day I would be free to come and go as I pleased. But I am more tied down now than ever. Now the children expect me to raise their children! When the grandchildren get too much for my husband, he

in her front yard for the past'6o years and commented that she would like to have it removed. She explained that it had grown so large that it blocked her view of Plainfield and had grown past the roof of her two-story home. A forester was promptly dispatched to the Plainfield residence where he discovered the Christmas tree to be a valuable, 30 foot high Colorado Spruce estimated at 32 years old. At its base-the tree is six inches in diameter. Considering its age, size and characteristics, the Forestry Division appraises the value of the tree at about SIOO.

gets ia his car and runs. But what am I supposed to do? .. Just Tired Dear Tired: Who tells you to give your children everything they expect! If you don’t want to be tied down, tell your children to face up to their responsibilities. Only offer your services when YOU really want to." o' o o Dear Amy: This is in answer to the gentleman who is embarrassed when his wife says ‘Grace’ in public. I have often seen families say Grace in a restaurant. It always seems to generate a feeling of good will and fellowship among all the diners without a word being spoken or a glance exchanged. Please tell ‘Mr. Embarrassed’ that he and his wife have our respect—not our scorn. In away, they are saying Grace for all of us. Christopher o • • Dear Amy: I like a boy named Anthony. He’s 28 and I’m 15. If he asked me, I think I’d marry him. (He is divorced and has a daughter.) I think I need some advice. Am I crazy or sensibly in love? I don’t think age makes a difference. It’s only a number. Do you think I’m doing the right thing by dating him? I’m mature for iny age. Tiny Dear Tiny: Read a few statistics of what happens to young girls who don’t mind their P’s and Q’s. No girl of 15 is mature enough to date a man of 28. “Numbers” are important. Date boys 16, 17 and 18 who are not involved. These are the right “numbers” for you! • ♦ • PERSONAL TO Disappointed (Los Angeles): If I had the answer to this national problem, President Kennedy would summon me to the White House. Send me your address and I’ll tell you how to live with your problem. Address all letters to: AMY ADAMS c/o THIS NEWSPAPER For a personal reply enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope.
