A sprig of humor is recommended for added flavor Mix well; drink heartily. Overindulgence is not harmful.

BY THE time the next issue of The Mail-Journal comes off the press another year will have passed and 1977 will be upon us Our wish is that everyone will start the year out in a spirit of friendship and love and keep it that way for the next 365 days.

Then it can be said that 1977 was a very good year! “I'M NOT afraid of what the Communists will do to our system; I’m afraid of what we are doing to the system" said Rev Everett Owens, pastor of the Milford United Methodist

church, speaking on the commercialism in our industrial society. THE WEATHER on Christmas day was beautiful for those who had any distance at all to travel. It was cool but clear and sunny. Then came Sunday and the snows and all of the youngsters who received sleds and the like for Christmas had an afternoon in which to try them out. Snowmobilers were again out enjoying the winter weather. Tuesday the snows continued with the forecast calling for snow, windy and cost in the northern third of the state. Predictions called for from one to two inches on Tuesday and an additional one to three inches today (Wednesday). Our advice for all who are in the southern states for the holidays is for them to stay there for awhile! MAD PRESIDENT Dennis Sharp and his wife will be leaving today for a two-week vacation in the Phoenix. Ariz.. area. WITH ALL the snow. John Martin has been busy trying to keep the streets of Milford clean. Santo and fantasy in Martian movie Ingenuity and imagination went into the concept and the creation of Joseph E. Levine’s “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians," coming in Eastman Color this week end to the Pickwick Theater at Syracuse The story was conceived by Paul Jacobson, a former television executive, who realized the need for better children's film and also produced the film. A science-fiction fantasy, “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" tells of the kidnapping of Santa Claus from his North Pole workshop by Martians who want him to enliven the spirit of their children who are depressed by the fun they see Earth children having on television programs beamed to Mars from earth This plot allows for many futuristic and fanciful settings but by means of his creativity, Maurice Gordon, the film’s art director, was able to provide a score of settings from just five

r AT PICKWICK — A cheery and jovial Santa Claus, designed to delight all children, is seen in Joseph E. Levine’s charming Eastman Color fantasy. “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.” this Friday. Saturday and Sunday only at the Pickwick Theater. Syracuse. basic sets. These include a bleak area at the North Pole, near Santa's Workshop; an icy cave where the young hero and heroine have an encounter with a Polar bear, an idyllic country setting, from which the children are kidnapped; an eerie, redhued Martian landscape, and a gloomy cave along an underground Martian canal where the Martian villain plots his revenge against Santa Claus. Only the concept of the Marbans themselves is more or less traditional. They are greenfaced. green-clad men, women and children who wear special head-pieces they can never take off. More serious in manner and more advanced than Earthlings, they, nevertheless, are susceptible to the charm of Santa Claus and to his brand of the Christmas Spirit. Featured in the cast are a host of professional Broadway and off-Broadway actors including many youngsters.
