Potts. 2028 MANDM01HER KNOWS Grandmother knows so many things! She can stw and knit and crochet and make lot! of pretty things that people prize because they are hand-made.

And you simply can't beat her as a good cook and housekeeper. Yes, Grandmother does know. She knows about all these practical things--and much more. She knows the deeper lessons of life. She knows that right is right and wrong is wrong--and that right is always best.

The girl who is blessed with a good mother and a good grandmother, and is smart enough to learn from them, can practically chart her own happiness and build a life that is a blessing to mankind and the world, Grandmother knows that spiritual things are far more important than material things. She knows that God rules in the kingdom of men, that the Church is His messenger, that faith is man's hope of salvation. Support Your Church THE CITIZENS NATIONAL BANK TRUST CO.

So, you see, Santa Claus doesn' time to waste or you may have to wait another year. i You might try looking real hard or Santa this year; but, if you happen to miss him, please don't give up hoping. Go right ahead and try harder next year; and slease don't ever give up trying. You will never find true happiness until you do get to see him. Reflections grow older and slow down after a while, so that anybody, who really wants to see Santa Claus can see him many times.

So I promise you, here and now, that if you keep right on hoping and trying, you will see his reflections thousands of times-after you've had a chance to grow some more, and your eyes get faster. One good way to train your eyes is to be thoughtful to other people you meet and live with. You will also gain much happiness by going out of your way to do little acts of kindness for others. IF YOU START doing little acts of graciousness daily, ou will soon make a habit of such deeds, and your own life will start filling with things you never dreamed would be possible. Soon you will receive st much joy and happiness from your own generous acts that you will have no room inside you for personal cares and worries Another good way to tram your eyes is to stop looking for faults If you see only the good things in those you meet, and learn to overlook their petty errors, you will find new friends wherever you go and this circle will widen everj After you reach maturity you vill see Santa Claus quite often, nd in the most unusual places.

During the Christmas season you ill see Santa in little pug noses, ressed tightly against shining tore windows; in the smiles of ittle old ladies, struggling along vith huge baskets and bundles; in he glowing cheeks and sparkling of postmen, on their busy ounds; and in the ruddy countenances of tired policemen, helping old folk across busy and over- irowded streets. YOU WILL SEE Santa Claus in he sparkling but tired eyes of department store clerks; in the anxious eyes of youngsters, riding downtown with busy mothers; in the cheery expression of busy bus starters and busier drivers; and even in the eager eyes of a panhandler, turned ambitious enough .0 peddle some cheap paper flowers, in order to get a years-late Christmas card started oa its way --for sure--this year.

Santa Claus is reflected from shining and crisp bills, thoughtfully tossed into Salvation Army kettles and chimneys--to aid the "unfortunate and the needy; from happy crowds, jostling; each on their, ways to or from, making life just a little bit sweeter for somebody else; and from, the millions of thoughtful little extra things, which folk always do more graciously at Christmastime.
