William Mann Irvine, I ESTABLISHED 18O5 of Christmas I THE true spirit of the occasion and with due appreciation of all it implies, we extend Christmas greetings to the readers of this publication. Christmas has a meaning possessed by no other holidky throughout the world.

America has its national and special days, other countries have theirs; Christmas is the only one alike in spirit and celebrated in all Christian lands. So pure is its principle that it commands respect and admiration among people who worship their Creator in different ways from ours. Christmas typifies all that is best in mankind. It is the culmination of the human mind throughout the ages dwelling upon the wonders and mysteries of existence, turning to a reverence for God and His representative on earth. It expresses the ascendency of spirit, the realization of men of their interdependency and their duty to one another; and so it is marked by the bestowal of gifts and other sentiments of benevolence and well wishing.

The makers of newspapers, concerned as they are with the doings, manifestations and thoughts of their respective communities and the world at large, and recording them in their more important aspects for the information, mayhap the education of "readers, are brought into an intimate sense of the spirit and meaning or-Christmas. Would that we could express to you alf the good that we see in the hearts of men and the increased brilliancy behind a few shadows of the light which has upheld the world for so many centuries. In the happy auguries we see for the future, there is every reason to be merry. Our Yuletide thoughts go out to the people of this community and our thanks are due the patrons and kind friends who have given us practical support or extended encouragement during the year. May this be the best Christmas you have ever spent, is our wish to all.

THE PUBLISHERS HOTEL TO BE ERECTED IN Starting right after the first of the year, work is to be begun on a big new hotel to be erectted on the property between Metzger Hardware and the Bedford Garage, with a frontage of 92 fleet on Bast Pitt and ample depth for all purposes. This is one of the best locations in Bedford for a hotel, being in the center of town, right on the Lincoln Highway, and only half a block from the intersection of the road from Altoona to Cumberland which con- jneets with three great east to west Highways: the National, the Lincoln and the William Penn. The need of another hotel here has beeji felt the past two or three summers as great numbers of people SIXTY SIXTH mini.
