HE SAID the Universalists were long gone, but "Some group maybe Church of God? is meeting there. The windows are the old leaded kind, and they boarded them over for fear they would fall out. You can't get anybody to replace windows like that." Palestine did not have any fulling out with its perennial Santa Claus substitute, telephone lineman Jesse Mikesell.

His act simply went with the decorating contest and when that was cancelled, so was Santa, er, Jess. "He did do It for the Boy Scouts at the Legion hall in Hollandsburg," Ada Mikesell said. "He used to do it for our family, too. But our children are grown now and we don't have big family gatherings like we used to."

"We'll make the best of it, that's all we can do," Mary declared. AS FOR Christmases past in Palestine, Mary said, "You really ought to talk to Omer Dill. I'm 73, but he is 84 or 85 and has lived here all his life. I've been here only since 1921." There is another church in Palestine, on a hill surrounded by one of Liberty nine cemeteries. But the windows are all boarded up.

"That's the old Universalist about it, but they don't mean it." He glanced down the bar at a patron who'd had one too many beers, was telling about a catfish he caught that was "so big I didn't even weigh it, I just weighed the eyeballs, and they weighed one and a quarter pounds." Red ignored the story. "I haven't seen too many people decorating outside this year," he said. "You know, this town used to really decorate." There were no decorations of any kind, electrical or not, on. the white frame Church of Christ on Sugar and Sunday School Supt.

A Korean student at Cincinnati Bible seminary had been driving up to supply the pulpit since summer "You ought to see the meals he can prepare with just soybeans" and on the fourth Advent Sun By BENJAMIN KLINE Dally News Staff Writer PALESTINE They unplugged Palestine this Christmas, and it doesn't seem the same. The southwestern Darke county village of 300, just a hop from the Indiana state line, had prided itself on living up to the name given It by pioneer Samuel Loring in 1833 "as a memorial to the Holy Land, because of Its beautiful location and view."

At the gasoline station, employe Jim Winterrowd said they closed around 5 p.m. Christmas eve.

They used to stay open until 9 and had curtailed that to 7 since gasoline supplies became tighter. "EVERYBODY just cooper-ates and helps us out, you know," Jim said. "The customers hpe been patient with us and we've been patient with our supplier." It wasn't the gasoline shortage that was mentioned for the early Monday closing, however; it was "to give everybody a chance to get home and enjoy their families on Christmas."
