1 1 A mmmmf II if mzam mmM urn mm ns It ipv I Here is a man who was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman. He grew up in another obscure village. He worked in a carpenter shop intil he was thirty, and then for three years he was an itinerant preacher. He never wrote a book. He never had a family.

He never went to college He never put his foot inside a big city. He never traveled two hundred miles from the place where he was born He never did one of the things that usually accompany greatness. He had nocredentials but himself. He had nothing to do with this world except the naked power of his di vine manhood. While still a young man.

the tide of popular opinion turned against him. His rriends ran away. One of them denied him. He was turned over to his enemies. He went through the mockery of a trial.

He was nailed upon a cross between two thieves. His executioners gambled for the only piece of property he had on earth while he was dying and that was his coat. When he was dead he was taken down and laid in a borrowed grave through the pity of a friend Nineteen wide centuries have come and gone and today he is the centerpiece of the human race and the leader of. I am far within the mark when 1 say that all the armies that ever marched and all the navies that ever were built, and all the parliaments that ever sat, and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as has this one solitary life (Anonymous) Wishingyou andyour family the peace joy and hope of this Holiday Season!

GEORGE Last-minute shopyersi in St. George may have some problems getting those final gifts tonight only a handful of stores are staying open very late Christmas eve, and most have run thin on the most popular items of this season. Most storeowners locally are heading home for their own holidays at 6 p.m. rather than stay open until 9 or 10 p.m. as they have the last few weeks.

And while a few stores in town have done only marginally better in sales over last year, most report that their stock has been ravaged by cash customers seeking quality bargains. A return to lasting clothing has been indicative of the buying patterns at most stores, say managers. Rene Bentley of the Center Dept. Store noted that sturdy levis, shirts, hosiery, and underwear have been the thrust of that store's clothing store, while Penney's Manager Clesson Bauer concurs. One store that have done well with the good old-fashioned frilly and fancy type clothing however, has been the ABC Shop.

Owner Gloria Hirschi notes: "We're a specialty shop. At our store the trend of the buyers is to want the really pretty dress or a nice suit. They want the unique and really special items, and that's what we sell." But for the shopper that wants the unique and special tonight, sorry. Hirschi's stock has been in demand, and like most others, the store is closed early tonight. At the more complete boutique-type clothing store, the basics trend continues though.

ST. GEORGE The unclothed body of a young woman found last week in Washington County has been positively identified by law enforcement officials as Cheryl Daniel, 20, of 3997 Torsby, Las Vegas. According to a report from the Washington County Sheriff's office, Miss Daniel disappeared from the parking lot of the Alpha Beta Supermarket at Spring Mountain Road and Rainbow, in Las Vegas at 12:30 a.m.

on June 27, 1980. She was reported to be riding Avednesday- with her boy friend at that time. He left her to go into store and when he returned, the jeep in which they had been riding had been moved and she was gone. Her mother, who was notified of the identity of the body Tuesday, advised she had not been seen since. Cheryl had been working at the Terrible Herbst gas station on Decater and Spring Mt.

road when her boy friend picked her up. After the body was found not far from Washington, the officers in charge of the Utah investigation contacted Sgt. Bob Hilliard and Det. Mike Brady of the Las Vegas Metro Homicide Squad and the cooperation between the two groups has been continuing uninterrupted since that itme. weother ffci'j -Utkb' i i i St.

George: Generally fair through Christmas Day with some variable high cloudiness; mild temperatures; highs in the mid 60s; lows in the upper 30s. Michelle decorate the family tree. Many Washington County, and other American, families such as the hostage families, will have empty places at the table for those remembered loved ones who are away from home. Though someone is missing from this Christmas family scene like many others across the nation this yuletide season, this young Washington family is still busy preparing for a tomorrow's festivities.

Cheryl Daniel to keep lights on in Kanab in 1 98 1 Ancient stones found under Via Dolorosa JERUSALEM (LTD Workers unearthed 2.000-year-old paving stones on the Via Dolorosa during pre-Christmas renovations of the path Jesus Christ took on his way to the.

crucifixion, a city official said Tuesday. The director of the East Jerusalem Development Corporation, Yitzhak Yaacobi, said his workers uncovered th stones four yards below the present path which follows the first nine stations of the cross and leads to the Old City's Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Some Biblical scholars believe Jesus' path followed the route of the present-day Via Dolorosa so the stones may hav been the same ones he walked on. SALT LAKE CITY (LTD Utah Power and Light Co. has volunteered to keep the lights burning in Kanab and Fredonia Ariz, after Jan.

1. Utah Power Monday offered to replace the Garkane Electric Association as the source of electricity which CP National Corp. provides to its customers in the Kanab area. Utah Power is trying to buy out CPN. The State Public Service Commission accepted the offer which settled a dispute over power rates in the area.

Garkane threatened to cut off power to 1,000 CPN customers by Jan. 1 unless the company agreed to pay rates that were nearly doubled. CPN filed a complaint accusing Garkane of try ing to raise its rates withing the permission of the Public Service Commission. The PSC ordered Garkane to show cause Monday why it shouldn't be orc AICON-TINUE PROVIDING POWER TO CPN after the first of the year. But a 45-minute huddle between attorneys for the three companies produced an agreement in which Utah Power agreed to step in and provide the power.

Garkane will deliver the electricity via its transmission facilities from Utah Power generating plants in eastern Utah. Garkane is a rural electric association that buys most of its power from federal hydroelectric dams. But surplus federal power has been in short supply recently and Garkane has had to buy electricity from other suppliers at higher rates. It attempted to pass on the higher rate to CPN. Others say the route he followed was in a different location.

"The stones were found near the third station and are believed to be Herodian," Yaacobi said. Herod was king of Judea during the time of Christ. The third station marks the first place Jesus was believed to have fallen. Yaacobi said the stones, each weighing up to two tons, were used to restore 10 yards of the half-mile-long Via Dolorosa. The latest stage of the project the section between the fifth and seventh stations was to be completed in time for the onset of Christmas eve at dusk Wednesday, he said..
