THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS
SUMMERVILLE SILHOUETTES
There’s just TWO more days |
until Christmas, so if you’re not
through shopping (and I’ll bet a
lot of you aren’t) you’d surely
better hurry, hurry!
And be sure it’s Rackley’s
you’re hurrying to, because
they’re really tops in gifts for
any member of the family.
Can’t you just imagine dad’s
twinkling eyes when he opens
up that beautifully wrapped
package to find a nice white Van
Heusen shirt? Nothing would
please him (or any man) better,
because no man can have too
many shirts, at least not too I
many Van Heusens.
Hickok belts are also great I
favorites with the men, as are |
the Seaforth cosmetics for men.
The younger men are going all
out for the nice brightly colored
sport shirts and you can get
! those in wool and flannel at
Hair Motor to
Have Dinner For
Employees Tonight
Employees of Hair Motor Com
pany will be hosts at a dinner
party at 8:30 o’clock this even
ing for employees of Loop Furni
ture Company end Hair and Ai
red Motor Company. LaFayette.
The affair will take place in the
show rooms of the Summerville
Motor Company.
This is an annual event, to
which the employees, their hus
bands and wives, and friends are
invited.
IheTtory
And there were in the same
country shepherds abiding in
the field, keeping watch over
their flock by night.
And 10, the angel of the Lord
came upon them, and the glory
of the Lord shone round about
them: and they were sore
afraid.
And the angel said unto
them Fear not; for, behold I
bring you good tidings of great
joy, which shall be to all
people.
For unto you is born this day
j in the city of David a Saviour
which is' Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign un
to you; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes,
lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with
the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God,
and saying,
Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, good will
toward men.—Luke-2 8-14.
Christmas in Denmark
“Jul-Nisse,” the benevolent
little man of the attic, is the
essence of Christmas for many
people in Denmark. Although
he is seen by no one except
the family cat, this little man,
who lives in the attic and
tends the farm animals is re
sponsible for many mischiev
ous happenings in the house.
Before going to bed on i
Christmas Eve, the Danish
children climb the attic stairs
and place a bowl of porridge
and a pitcher of milk before
the door. They arise early the
next morning, only to find that ,
the food has mysteriously dis- [
appeared during the night.
One of Denmark’s prettiest
customs is the remembrance
of the birds. A sheaf of grain
is saved from the fall harvest
—and on Christmas morning,
every gable, gateway and barn j
door is decorated with this I
bundle of grain—the birds’ j
Christmas dinner.
CHRISTMAS TREE
The general Assembly and
Church of First Born Church of
God at Mountain View will have
their Christmas tree Friday
night. All members and their
families are urged to attend the
7 o’clock meeting.
me a violin, dump truck, steam
( shovel, BB gun, fruits, nuts and
! think I will like. Remember my
I two little sisters Annette and
! Jean and my little cousins Ran
dell and Alma Faye, bring them
something nice.
I have been oretty good this
whole year and am looking for
ward to seeing you in town or at
the church Christmas Eve.—H. C.
Vaughn.
—o—o—
Santa Claus:
H am a little boy 8 years old.
I go to school every day and am
in the third grade. Mrs. Pless is
my teacher and I want you to
bring her and her little girl and
boy all something nice.
Please bring me a BB gun, a
football, a set of racing cars, I’ll
be pleased with anything else
you bring me and also bring me
all kinds of fruit, nuts and candy
and don’t forget my little cousins
Sonny, Judy and Phyllis Kay
Byars. I’m hoping to see you
Christmas Eve.—Billie Vaughn.
I Rackley’s.
A good tie is always an asset
I and what man can’t use an extra
i pair of socks or a few extra
i handkerchiefs?
Those are some good sugges
j tions, things I think any man,
• regardless of age, will like.
I’ve a special surprise for the
ladies or for those shopping for
ladies. Rackley’s has a brand
new shipment of ALL WOOL
BOTANY ROBES and are they
honeys! They are in the most
gorgeous colors and in all sizes.
Talking about what men can’t
j have too many of, I’d like to
say that women positively can’t
l own too many hose (usually she
can’t own enough!) If you’re
stumped and have waited until
now’ to buy, I’m sure she’d ap
preciate a nice pair of hose
from Rackley’s!
Lovely, luscious slips in pink
and white with wonderful, won
derful lace trim, and gowns with
eye appeal are also great favor
ites.
Get any of these things, or
several and Mr Rackley, Mrs.
Rackley, or one of their friend
ly clerks will gift wrap it for you
absolutely FREE.
