I, CHRISTMAS
' When one silent, peaceful night,
Christ was bom by stable light,
Angel voices in the sky,
-hang sweet praise to God on high.
And shepherds left their flocks to
see
• / -Christ the King on bended knee.
V. At Christmas time we children love
” \ To sing sweet praise to God above,
-And give each other a little thing
; To remind us all of Christ the King.
' "Remember-our friends on Christmas
* Day, e
'And also, needy ones far away.
_Martha Helen Pederson.
A DOG’S CHRISTMAS
mT wonder what a dog would get
If he hung & stocking by the fire.
Would he get, a big nice bone,
Or just a little car?
I know Le would be very proud

INEZ LARSEN
Of a great big, rubber ball.
But you know they’re very scarce—
You can get none at all!
I guess they would all be very
proud
If they only knew what rubber is
for.
And all the dogs would bark real
loud,
Because they want to help us win
the war. •

CHRISTMAS EVE NIGHT
’Twas Christmas^ Eve night
When Billy and Ross,
Sneaked down about midnight •
To watch Santa Claus. , j
He loaded their stockings '
With candy and toys,
Then they went back to bed—'
Very happy boys.

Important Minerals
■ ♦ •'
AUSTIN, Dec. 27.—Such minerals
as magnesium, graphite and iron ore
are growing in importance in Texas,
the University of Texas bureau of
economic geology reported today.
Oil continues to hold first place,
but the growing list of minerals com* -
ing into development includes gra*
phite, which is in large scale produc-
tion, ma'gnesium and bromine. Cop-
per production, the bureau said,
jumped from-12,000 pounds valued at
$1,415 in 1941 to 198,000 pounds
valued at $23,958 in 1942.
The_ 1942 study of Texlas mineral
production by the bureau included in -
the miscellaneous column a long list
not heretofore so classified. A break-
down was not available, the bureau
said, because of the strategic war na-
ture of some of them.
The total in thisT category ■uras .
valued at $183,464,125. in % 1942 as
compared with $7,466,501 in 1941.
Natural gas was included in this clas-
sification for the first time in 1942.
Just a line to extend to
you our sincere thanks
for your patronage in
1943, and to- wish you
and yours a ntost Happy
and Prosperous N ew
Year. Remember, we are
always at your service.
