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.

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.

• 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.

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-

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

received instruction in the main-
tenance and recovery of the

• 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.

ported for duty at the Naval
