Giving Gift From Love, Friendship Typifies Very Spirit Of Christmas There's a special feeling in the air. Churches, dwellings, stores and other business buildings reflect a mood of joy and anticipation. Every face wears a smile.

Christmas is coming! Right now, much of the preparation for this happiest holiday centers around the selection of gifts gifts to go 'under the tree, into the stockings, off to the post office and into the homes of friends and relations. For Christmas is gift giving time. There are those who ask, "Why is Christmas so commercial?" The complaint implied is, at first thought, an understandable one. 'Why indeed should this important holy day of the Christian religion become a time noted for the exchange of gifts? For many, Christmas is a secular holiday. But even for those to whom it has the deepest religious significance, gift giving is in fact an expression of that significance.

A clue to the real importance of gifts at Christmas comes from a comparison of two ideas gifts" and "giving gifts." The feeling that a gift must be given to someone, because a gift will be received in return, is never properly part of Christmas. But to give a gift, out of appreciation, friendship, love or, simply, out of the gladness of heart that the season brings, expresses the generosity that is the very spirit of Christmas. Because Wise Men brought gifts to the Manger, tradition of giving is a hallowed one. They gave from the heart, and gave of their best, to honor an Infant King. Their gifts were precious treasures, in terms of worldly wealth gold, frankincense and myrrh.

As the many legends of Christ- Red Truck Loss High WASHINGTON (AP) A deadly one-two, punch of day and night attacks by U.S planes has destroyed well over 1,000 North Vietnamese trucks since spring, a Pentagon source reports. The officer who supplied the count would not say how many American planes had been lost in strikes against the Communist trucks. The trucks were lost over a five-month period, the source said. He declined to be precise about the total, but said it was well over 1,089. If an average of seven trucks were knocked out daily in the 150-day period, the total would be 1,050.

Oniy a few days ago the Air Force chief of staff; Gen. John P. McConnell, said U.S. planes damaged or destroyed 530 Communist vehicles in one phase of recent bombing operations. He said enemy motor traffic into South Viet Nam was "dropping sharply." Night fliers locate targets with radar, flares which illuminate wide areas and infrared sensors which detect heat of truck engines.

Grangers Take Office ALPHA Grange officers from seven Lewis County Granges were installed at ceremonies last Wednesday evening in the Alpha Grange hall, Don Cole, Alpha master said. The 1967 Grange officers from Alpha, Silver Creek, Mossyrock, Ethel, John Arnold, Handle and Morton 'were installed into their posts by Oakview Grangers. Installing the 15 officers from each Grange was Jim McCash, a special state Grange deputy. McCash is a Ford's Prairie Grange member. Acting master was a Miller.

mas attest, the simple gift is no less precious. One story relates that weeds, brought to the Manger by a peasant child, were transformed into glorious flowers. To give according to means, and to give thoughtfully, is to give that which will be cherished. Where means permit, the gift of greater monetary value can, equally well, represent thoughtfulness. The Wise Men, after all, gave mostly treasures, appropriately chosen from their stores of wealth.

Large or small, inexpensive or more costly, the gift gains meaning from the generous spirit. This Christmas, there are millions who are fortuante in the ability to give generously, and the inclination to do.so. Yet, Christmas need not be "commercial." Gifts selected with the sincere wish of pleasing, by givers who take thought of special needs and interests, will always have a value money cannot buy.
