R. H. Burson director of the Georgia Department of Pub lic Safety, observed that “it’s obvious public apathy is kill ing us,” and that the bloody weekend “points up the need for more troopers on our highways.” The safety director praised his troopers for their work throughout the 102-hour holi day period. He said, however, that troopers cannot do every thing. He said that the high number of fatalities “indicates that the public has yet to put traffic safety in its proper perspective” and that eventu ally the public “must volun tarily accept responsibility for traffic safety.” In a breakdown of the State Patrol’s enforcement activity during the long holiday peri od, Col. Burson said troopers issued 9,833 traffic tickets, of which 4,284 were arrests and 5,549 were warnings. 1 I 8 £ s s g a ! ^gßKw^s-' <igKWlWoHw^' , ^lß^raWlww^ .eSSw^wSe" EußwewguSKM USp^sSSS' n S MAY PEACE ABIDE. 8 I | Brantley Telephone K J Company, Inc. $ i Mm i | | ...and all good g | things that are a g 8 part of the season.!

We look upon this season of the year more as a burden than a joy. We find ourselves worrying about what to buy for presents. We find that each year this be comes a greater task since people have so much. Then we must make plans for the visit of Santa Claus. If we wait until the week before Christmas then all the toys in Santa’s workshop will be gone. So we must fight the crowds. After we have rushed from place to place, and after we have fought the crowds, and after we have gotten all the presents, then (to make bad matters worse) we have to pay for them; usual ly all of next year. And if this is not enough, there is the Christmas cooking, the parties and the visiting. Christmas is a burden and it is not the season to be jolly. But whose fault is it? It is yours and mine. We have lost real Joy of Christmas because we have emphasized the wrong aspect of Christmas. But the writer of the carol was right. It is the season to be jolly. It is the season to be jolly because Christ has been born in Bethlehem. May Christ be born in our lives this Christmas. Then we may sing: “Tis the Season to Be Jolly.” “The fruit of the Spirit is Joy . s I £ i F®s ■ $ >2>^ g g $ We extend sincere g | Christmas wishes to you.

Here Are Some Safety Rules on Christmas Trees Keep your holiday season unmarred by the tragedy that can strike when Christmas trees accidently ignite. That’s the advice of Dean DeLamar, manager of the Georgia Power Company’s safety Department, who advis es Georgia families to take the following precautions: 1. Use only a freshly cut tree, one not dried out by prolonged storage. A tree is fresh if the needles do not fAll off when the tree is bounced down hard. Another sign of freshness is a tree butt sticky with resin. 2. Stand the tree in water until ready for use. Saw off the trunk at an angle at least one inch above the original cut. 3. Provide strong support for the tree by using a stur dy stand that has anchor I VI | I Joyous holiday greetings | | to friends and customers^ of our community. | I I Murray and Staples k i i | Garden Center, Inc. g I 8 | Waycross, Georgia | tr Yes!
