Dear Bill, I : .......
J ,-:cnool class m the Baptmt ehurcn,
Another Christmas is upon us, . " the woman leading the singing
and prayers made the suggestion
that if we were to get a sheet of
paper and write out the things we
are thankful for it would take
some writing.
This appealed as a eha!lenge to
me. I have given it nmch thought
since, and now it seems the Lord
has laid it on my heart to write
it out as my testimony this Christ-
mas season.
First of all, I am thankful that
I have Christ as my Saviour, that
I am a child of the King. I am
thankful that I am a citizen of the
United States of America, that
I live in a free country, where
I can have free speech, can go
to church, can read my Bible and
play music for them and give
them a little cheer.
I am thankful that I can still
maintain nay own hem(. tllat I
have plenty of food LO Eat. and
the comfort of a warm house, and
warm clothes to wear. I am
thankful that my medical bills are
taken care of, and that I receive
commodities. I am thankful for
answered prayers and the ever
constant care of the Lord. I am
thankful that we m'e not having
war. I am thankful for all the
beauty God has put on earth for
us to enjoy, the birds and flowers
and many other things too num-
erous to mention.
There are many other things
to be thankful for, but the great-
est is having salvation.
God bless you all this Christ-
mas season.

I'm sure that this expresses

was our late President, John F.
Kennedy.

Since the tagic death of the
President, the Mason County
Chapter for Retarded Children has
been asked by many persons and
organizations, knowing of his
great personal interest in this
problem, if a way exists to make
a memorial gift. Provision does
exist for gifts in memory of Pres-
ident Kennedy through the Re-
search Fund of the National As-
sociation for Retarded Children of
which the Mason County Chapte,;
for Retarded Children is a mem-
ber.
The Research Fund is a cause
in which President Kennedy be-
lieved, Its grants provide scien-
tists the freedom, time and facil-
ities to pursue new leads and to
originate and carry through sig-
nificant investigations. Some scho-
larships are also designed to bring
talented young scientists into the
field of research into mental re-
tardation.
With extraordinary vision, Pre-
sident Kennedy saw the many
things which need to be done to
erase this problem which affects
millions of Americans today. He
won for the mentally retarded and
their families legislation to pro-
vide giaht fm'ard steps for post-
tire action in the future.
Speakng in October to the An-
nual Conventfon of the National
Association for Retarded Child-
ren, he said, "I think we nave au
obligation as a Country . . . es-
pecially a country as rich as ours,
to make a major effort to see if
we can block this. stop iL and
cure it." He was talidng about
the tragic, lmman waste caused
by mental retardation.
To "block this, stop it and cure
it"--these are his words describ-
ing the action he thought his
counh.-ymen should take, The
HARK Research Fund is devoted
to just such action.
We respectfully suggest to
those of the public who wish to
contribute to a cause in memo
of President Kennedy that they
consider the NARC Research
Fund. Gifts may be sent to me
at 2126 Olympic Highway North,
Shelton, Wash., and I will for-
ward then1.
Very trolly yours,

Could it be that the failure of
their crops in Russia, China and

by their attempts to break their

December 12 at about seven in
the evening, Copper, our dog,
stood in our drive way while my
son was putting wood in the base-
ment. He saw a car deliberately
swirl into our driveway and hoard
Copper's scream in agony. He
breathed his last in the arms of
my 19-year-old son, who was
shamelessly crying his heart ont.
We had old Copper over 12 years
and hc was like one of the family.
He would go with my son into
the woods, and I wouldn't worry
about him as I was always sure
Copper would be with him and I
felt Copper would come for me if
my son needed me, for my son is
diabetic.
Copper was a cocker Spaniel,
and wouldn't hnrt a. soul. Tie
wouldn't even eat meat that was
raw. I even had to cook his bones.
But someone would deliberately
run right over him and leave his
poor body crushed and bleeding
and never even stop to see if they
had done a good job of their mur-
dering deed.
Just about a month ago a car
swirled over to the side of our
road as our big beautiful gray-
striped eat, who was bringing her
sister home a mouse, was struck
down and killed by a nmrdering
killer behind the wheel of a car,
They didn't slop to see if she were
hurl or dead. they didn't care.
After all, she was just a cat.
When we found her, there be-
side her clashed body, lay the
mouse she was bringing to her
sister that was deaf, and could
not hunt for herself. Mike sensed
her sister "Sugar's" needs. They
slept together m a box in the
house.
I wonder if the person that took
:Mike or Copper's life would like
me to stake Sugar out in the
road so they could murder her,
like fhey did her sister. She's deaf,
she could,ft hear you coming np
oil her.
so I have ready beautiful mem-
ories no killer can take from me.
This letter I real[v am writing
for the many people tlaL drive
on Johns Prairie road. People that
arc going to work in the morning
and those speeding home from
work at night. This time of the
year. Johns Prairie road has a
lot of traffic. There are trucks
loaded with Christmas trees and
people coming off their jobs from
the Chrislmas tree yards. And
other people madly rushing home.
There is no one or nothing safe
on the road.
I'd like to ta(e a little more ot
your time and ask you Lo please
watch as yon drive down Johns
Praire roafi as therE's a little lady,
her name is Sassy, the ei:hl)o}2'S
little Cocker Spaniel. Silo's very
old and she doesn't know any bet-
ter. but she walks on Johns iraire
road twice a day. In the morning
she eomes over to our place, and
she sat on our porch with Copper
and stayed until I came out and
pat her on the head. and I.hcn she
would happily patter on home.
And then I wouldn't see her till
around two o'clock and then she
s't on ore" porch till nay husband
comes home. He would ta.lk to her
and pat her head and sloe would
waggle all over. and happily she
may come and go as I like without
interference.
I am thankful that I have a
good family, that I have four
healthy grandchildren, that I have
wonderful Christian friends, Ihat
I still can pray and work for the
Lord. I am thankful that mY
health is as good as it is for my
age. I am 70 years old and can
still walk seven or eight blocks
o town md back again. I am
thankful that I still have use of
my hands so that I may write or
sew. and that I can still see well
enough to do tlese things.
I am thankful that .I do not
have to go to a nursing home
