Liquor S÷ore Lease Will Expire • The State Liquor Control Board, in an announcement this week, said the five-year lease on its liquor store here will expire May 31, 1968. State law provides that the board may lease stores for a maximum of five years, wi't_h .  option-to renew for five years. Rent on the present location is $135 a month, the board state- ment said. The announcement, the board said, is made in the public inter- est and following board policy, to give general notice of the ex- piration of its leases. It is not intended to indicate the board's intention concerning the present location of the store. Sales at the store, in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1967 were $355,663.83. The city of Shelton's share of the statewide net profits for the same period was $35,566. 56. THESE ARE PART of the 65 student library assistants in the three Shelton elementary schools who were honored at the annual party for the group last Wednesday at Bor- deaux School. The party is given each year by the three school librarians, Mrs. Ruth Goodwin, Mrs. Gladys Martin and Mrs. Betty Eager to honor the young people who as- sist them in the libraries with many routine tasks which frees the librarians for more time to work with students in book selection and appreciation and teaching. A, Christmas Message: Christ And Christmas Cannot Be Separated By REV. ARTHUR L. BEALS Pastor, First Baptist Church "Let's put Christ back into Christmas!" What a strange slo- gan is this! At first reading the slogan may sound like a noble effort to give greater emphasis to spiritual matters at the Christ- mas season. But "Put Christ back into Christmas;" who took Him out? How can one talk of Christmas without a Christ? We would be amused with any campaign to grant honorary American citizenship to Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam is the character- ization of all that is American. Does not this slogan, "Let's put Christ back into Christmas," do essentially the same thing? Christmas belongs to Christ! In- stead of putting Christ back into Vet Pensioners To Get Income • Some 33,000 Washington State veterans and dependents receiv- ing pensions from the Veterans Administration have been mailed form cards on which to report their annual income, John B. Kirsch, Manager of the Seattle VA Regional Office, said today. The check-sized income report cards enclosed with pension checks received the first part of December, must be filled out and returned to the VA by Jan. 31, or payment of the pension will be stopped, Kirsch reminded. The law requires that payment be stopped if income is not re- ported. Christmas, modern man needs to bring himself back to the Christ- mas of Christ! Maybe what we need is two Christmases--one to provide op- portunity for brightly-wrapped gifts, sugar-plums and fruitcake, and Santa with his red-nosed reindeer--and another Christmas to be set apart as a day of devo- tion, adoration, and remem, brance of that glorious Christ- child of Bethlehem. Too long the cultural trappings of an Ameri- can holiday have detracted from the wonder and worship of God's Christmas. The emphasis of the first Christmas--the Christmas of packages, puddings, and parties --is upon giving. This is all too. fresh in our minds as we note b] the calendar that there remain only two more shopping days un- til Christmas. The emphasis of the second Christmas--the Christ. mas of song, of shepherds, of a Saviour---is upon receiving. In this second Christmas, the Christ- mas of Christ, we find the mani- festation of the Love of God through the gift of His Son. In this Christmas we receive the announcement of the angels with great joy; in this Christmas we join the shepherds in adoration; in this Christmas we receive the promise of God that this babe of Bethlehem--the One called Em- manuel--shal/ save us from our sins. Somehow, in the glory of this Christmas celebration, the holly, the tinsel, the parties and the punch will seem a little less important. Let's give ourselves back to the Christ of Christmas. Typ Sicj In addition to requesting that inAPhilippins New e Of ns To Be Tried On Section Of Freeway the cards not be folded, torn or mutilated, the VA this year is • Apprentice Frankie • Two huge signs aimed at side lanes were reserved for passing. Measuring eight by ten feet each, the signs carry the follow- ing warning in ten-inch letters: "Vehicles Below Maximum Speed Must Use Right Lanes." Charles G. Prahl, State High- ways Director, said the letters will be reflectorized, black for the first four words, red for the latter four. Ma÷son Through Service School • A Shelton soldier was named drivers who "hog" inside lanes of the Freeway will be installed north and south of Tacoma on Interstate 5, Wednesday. The prototype signs could, if success- ful, be made standard on all Washington Freeways. Prahl said that drivers who persist in traveling the Freeway lane next to the median are in- viting accidents. In a number of recent Freeway collisions, ve- hicles have crossed the median strips into opposing lanes. Prahl believes that many such acci- dents would be avoided if the in- the Second Honor Graduate of the U.S. Army Armor School's General Vehicle Repairman Class No. 14, which graduated at Ft. Knox, ICy. Nov. 22. Pvt. Marvin J. Matson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Emil M. Matson of Shelton, had an average of 92.47 to finish second in his class of 63. During the 8-week course he received instruction in the main- tenance and recovery of the wheel and track vehicles issued to armor units. A 1966 graduate of Shelton High School, Pvt. Matson entered the Army in May. He took basic training at Ft. Lewis, and was stationed at Ft. Huachuca, Ariz., before coming to Ft. Knox, Barkley In Viet Nam Area • Airman John W. Barkley, USN, son of r. and Mrs. Wesley E. Barkley, Shelton, is serving aboard the anti-submarine war- fare support aircraft carrier USS Kearsarga with the Seventh Fleet in the Gulf of Tonkin. The carrier coordinates surface and sub-surface surveillance op- erations. These operations in- clude the tracking and reporting of all friendly and enemy ship- ping in the Tonkin Gulf. In addition, the Kearsarge is mail ship for Seventh Fleet craft operating in-the area. O The warning for northbound mQtorists will be placed just east of the main Fort Lewis Inter- change on Interstate 5. South- bound drivers will see a sign in the median at the Port of Taco- ma Interchange near Fife, ap- proximately 14 miles north of the Fort Lewis sign. The Washington State Patrol will observe the 14-mile section of Freeway to determine what in- fluence the signs have on driver behavior and to learn how many miles the message retains effect. If drivers respond favorably, the State Highways Department will install similar signs elsewhere on Washington Freeways. Until now, comparatively small signs along Freeways have read: "Slow Moving Vehicles Keep Right." Prahl said thesesigns apparently have too little effect on many drivers. Approximately 24,000 violators a year are con- tacted by the Washington State Patrol for traveling the "inside" lane on the state's Freeways. Driving in the "inside" median lane, except for passing, clogs a Freeway when two or three cars travel abreast. Drivers behind, irritated by such a "barricade," often resort to irrational attempts to pass, increasing the accident danger. Even a lone car in the lane next to the median forces irregular lane-changing for any passing vehicle, creating unneces- sary hazards. IN 1966, drivers under the age of 25 represented 19 per cent of the total driving population, but were involved in 32 per cent of all highway accidents. also asking pension recipients to return the card in the window envelope that was enclosed with their check and income question- naire. The VA asks that the questionnaire card be put in the return envelope so that the pre- printed VA address shows through the envelope window. R. Fulton, USN, son of Zvs.. Mar- cella Hertz, Grapeview, has re- ported for duty at the Naval Air Station, Cubi Point, Philip- pines. Cubi Point is the main support base for aircraft carriers of the Seventh Fleet and is located about 700 miles east of Vietnam. New Year's Party )  DANCING  COCKTAILS #  BUFFET DINNER ..
